## How to start
### Step 1
```bash
sudo apt update -y && sudo apt upgrade -y && sudo apt install -y git net-tools nano

git clone https://github.com/hermensbas/azerothcore_installer.git
cd azerothcore_installer.git
chmod +x *.sh

ifconfig (in order to find your ip)
nano settings.env (update ur settings)

./setup.sh
 source ~/.bashrc

update
build
compile
```

### Step 2
disable playerbots
```bash
nano config/modules/playerbots.config
AiPlayerbot.Enabled = 0
```

disable ahbot
```bash
nano config/modules/mod_ahbot.config
#AuctionHouseBot.Account = 0
AuctionHouseBot.GUID = 0
AuctionHouseBot.EnableSeller = 0
#AuctionHouseBot.EnableBuyer = 0
```

### Step 3
Start the server

```

Create accounts
```bash
> account create ahbot mypass 
> account create admin mypass
> account set gmlevel admin 3 -1 
```

### Step 4 
Logon the server with 'ahbot' and create lvl 1 char and logoff again.

Find ah-bot character settings
```bash
./script/find-character.sh ahbot
accountId       characterName   characterId
1       Yappe   1
Find character executed...
```

Configure and enable ahbot
```bash
nano config/modules/mod_ahbot.config
#AuctionHouseBot.Account = 1
AuctionHouseBot.GUID = 1
AuctionHouseBot.EnableSeller = 1
#AuctionHouseBot.EnableBuyer = 1
```

Enable playerbots
```bash
nano config/modules/playerbots.config
AiPlayerbot.Enabled = 1
```

### Step 5 

Stop server, re-apply configuration, and start server
```bash
ctrl + z
stop
config
start
```

## Client
- 3.3.5a (Chromiecraft.com)
 - Chromiecraft HD patch optional or huge patch 2024 [23GB graphic patch](https://github.com/Marotheit/A-Guide-to-Modernizing-the-WotLK-Client/)

Personally i prefere the chromiecraft HD patch without the T-patch, blizzlike :)

autogear (whenever init is broken, max equipment levelItem configured in playerbot.conf)
maintenance ( e.g. clears quest log, smart destroy items in inventory etc)

# let alt bots attack other bot on sight in pvp zone

nc -pvp

# equip urself
'.playerbot bot self', whisper yourself 'maintenance', whisper yourself 'autogear', whisper yourself 'nc +new rpg,+grind'
