|
||||
--------
|
||||
The Bot Level Brackets module for AzerothCore ensures an even spread of player bots across configurable level ranges (brackets). It periodically monitors bot levels and automatically adjusts them by transferring bots from overpopulated brackets to those with a deficit. During adjustments, bot levels are reset, equipped items are destroyed, trade skills are removed, quests are cleared, active auras are removed, pets are dismissed, and auto-maintenance actions are executed. Bots that are not immediately safe for level reset (for example, those in combat or engaged in other activities) are flagged for pending adjustment and processed later when they become safe. Additionally, Death Knight bots are safeguarded to never be assigned a level below 55.

|
||||
- **Support for Random Bots:**
|
||||
The module applies exclusively to bots managed by RandomPlayerbotMgr.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Dynamic Real Player Weighting with Inverse Scaling:**
|
||||
When dynamic distribution is enabled, the module uses a configurable weight multiplier (set via `BotLevelBrackets.RealPlayerWeight`) to boost each real player's contribution to the desired distribution. This weight is further scaled inversely by the total number of real players online, ensuring that when few players are active, each player's impact on the bot distribution is significantly increased.
|
||||
**Note:** The `RealPlayerWeight` option only takes effect when `BotLevelBrackets.UseDynamicDistribution` is enabled.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Dynamic Distribution Toggle:**
|
||||
Enable or disable the dynamic recalculation of bot distribution percentages based on the number of non-bot players in each level bracket via the `BotLevelBrackets.UseDynamicDistribution` option.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Debug Mode:**
|
||||
An optional debug mode provides detailed logging for monitoring bot adjustments and troubleshooting module operations.
|
||||
|
||||
### Dynamic Real Player Weighting and Scaling
|
||||
|
||||
When dynamic distribution is enabled (`BotLevelBrackets.UseDynamicDistribution`), the module recalculates the desired bot percentages for each level bracket based on the number of non-bot players present.
|
||||
|
||||
The total weight across all brackets is computed, and each bracket’s desired percentage is derived from its share of that total. This ensures that while more players in a bracket increase its weight, each additional player contributes progressively less.
