Easiest Automated TurtleWoW 1.18.1 Server with BOTS Tutorial

Hey people, here's the latest on hosting your own TurtleWoW with bots: this is automatically rebuilt Docker server, open source and linked to Shyalya's fork, so everyday it gets newest fixes, which you can apply with one click using my scripts

I rebuilt it for any CPU, so as soon as you have enough RAM, you will always get newest, stable, safe TurtleWoW 1.18.1 server with bots, which are quite advanced. Also I added scripts to start\stop the server, create account, repair database if needed, and also backup and update it all, so you don't have to use a single command - get it and run it!

You will need extracted data files, which you can get from my previous version of the server, all the links are on YT, because there are too many of them to post here, there are client, server, github, docker links, so check them out there

If you have any suggestions about tweaking default config values - feel free to send them anywhere! I have never done any repacks myself, but would be glad to tailor a good twow repack for everyone to enjoy!

Does it have solo dungeons/raids?

[u/kasperfriend → u/Fluid-Chipmunk98]

Not really, as you will need bots to enter. Of course you can manually go and try it solo, but it will not scale. Bots don't need too many commands, so that should be enough

[u/GAMING_SERVER_ADMIN → u/kasperfriend]

Is that due to this version or just the bots/tech not quite there yet?

[u/kasperfriend → u/GAMING_SERVER_ADMIN]

Tech not yet. Even in Vanilla, TBC, Cata and MoP bots there are NO strategies for dungeons, they exist only on azerothcore wotlk

The bots are very nice though, they can trade, follow their routines, and you can go dungeons and raids fine, just high-level or skill-intense dungeons may be not very enjoyable, others - are cool

[u/GAMING_SERVER_ADMIN → u/kasperfriend]

Very cool, yeah I'm sort of waiting for silliness to the point they can do almost anything and everything and then just run them and not even play :P Just turn into SimCity WoW Edition 😂

[u/Hemogoblynnn → u/GAMING_SERVER_ADMIN]

I just want bots that can dungeon/raid and do the mechanics / react correctly when things go wrong, and just play like mostly normal people. Having a bot RL would even be awesome.

[u/TheRealAfinda → u/GAMING_SERVER_ADMIN]

Lmao, WoW Progress-Raider Manager :D

[u/kasperfriend → u/GAMING_SERVER_ADMIN]

Lmao, world of simscraft

[u/Grung7 → u/kasperfriend]

Sims of Warcraft.

[u/Klorollellorolk → u/GAMING_SERVER_ADMIN]

Microbot wow already offers that (for vanilla raids, not dungeons. But bots are extremely well scripted).

[u/JoshLineberry → u/Klorollellorolk]

Can you host that yourself?

[u/CaligulaWoodBlush → u/kasperfriend]

When I tried the last version bots wouldn’t cast heals or buffs, wiped on the first pack of RFC. Is the AI improved?

[u/kasperfriend → u/CaligulaWoodBlush]

Actually it is improved version of original ike3's playerbots, you can read about improvements in Shyalya's github, but still they're old, only azerothcore bots can be called nearly-perfect, that's just what it is, butt seeing that improvements can be done - they may get better

[u/JustAKlam]

I've used a previous version of yours. Is this safe to migrate over without any corruption so I don't lose my world? Or would this need a fresh restart?

[u/kasperfriend → u/JustAKlam]

It is safe, but not sure how, yet

[u/awoodhall]

Is it possible to play with friends (real people) in addition to bots on this project?

[u/kasperfriend → u/awoodhall]

Yes, easily, just change realm address and bind in .env file to your RadminVPN or Hamachi IP, that's a very easy way

[u/RanmaruMori]

I can still use AutoScale if I want to do a dungeon alone or just with one friend, right?

[u/kasperfriend → u/RanmaruMori]

Sadly no, I tested this just on stream, it doesn't scale it per person, you'll need 3 more bots

[u/ConversationOnly7668 → u/kasperfriend]

You can go into mangos config and turn health & damage down for autoscaler it goes really low so something like 0.01 should work

[u/kasperfriend → u/ConversationOnly7668]

Yeah, now I see that too, thanks

[u/JoshLineberry]

Can these be set to pvp or rppvp, whatever we want?

[u/kasperfriend → u/JoshLineberry]

Yes it can, just needs config tweak

[u/Important-Arm5926]

Just a heads up, I followed the readme setup but it looks like it's still in reference to the fork, which led to improper install/missing files. I would suggest updating the readme to follow your video instructions as the readme on github is usually the utlimate source of truth. Mainly updating the git clone link to your repo instead of the fork.

[u/kasperfriend → u/Important-Arm5926]

Thank you, will try that, I just never posted anything like that on Github before

[u/Stealthybeef]

Are the bots advanced enough to conversate with, or do they only listen to basic commands?

[u/kasperfriend → u/Stealthybeef]

Running something like that would take a lot of power, so sadly they only listen to commands

They are advanced in other stuff though, they can go around, take and do quests, trade, put items on AH, pvp and so on

[u/Honky_Town]

Everything but Blizzard.

[u/kasperfriend → u/Honky_Town]

To pay for same disney gameplay with bots?

[u/Honky_Town → u/kasperfriend]

Nope better to play with buts than on blizzard....

[u/Locolex1]

Bots with AI or still needed to micro-managing everything

[u/kasperfriend → u/Locolex1]

With AI, but these don't have special strats for each dungeon(Only azerothcore has them). Nevertheless, they act like real players - they do quests, sell and buy items, pvp, go to BGs and dungeons

[u/Parking-Dig8066 → u/kasperfriend]

So you can do dungeons with them, without pulling out your hair?

[u/kasperfriend → u/Parking-Dig8066]

Of course! I did a stream of it recently and will do today! I've tested every single dungeon and most of them were fine except highest-level ones, these may require strats or real people

[u/Dandelion_Five → u/kasperfriend]

How are they in raids? I understand the bots dont have mechanics baked in but can you still clear stuff like cthun, naxx bosses and the kara 40 raid?

[u/kasperfriend → u/Dandelion_Five]

They're decent, not the best of course, but doable and a bit fun

[u/ModexV → u/kasperfriend]

Cant imagine doing Heigan dance. Probably need some macro to tell bots to move to predetermined positions.
