I'm guessing it's a 64-bit error. Not because I know anything about 64-bit errors but because in my experience 90% of the errors in going to XP 32 to 7 64 have been 64-bit errors. But regardless of what the issue actually is, I doubt you're gonna get anyone to fix MERV. You're better off looking to find a way to run the bot in XP mode or something(7 has a few different ways of doing that, I believe), than you are of waiting for someone to fix that old bot.

You can spawn multiple AI bots from a single exe

Running a couple can be very laggy and CPU intensive... 30 at once would most likely kill them (or the server)
They would definitely need to run on the same machine as the server. Otherwise, 30 clients from a single IP would make the server go whacky.

the problem is is that only the first spawn will login and the others cant even get a connerction to the zone, if i switch to win xp32 bit there isnt a problem

i would be able to have more bots from win 7 64bit cause i'm not limited by the ram, i have 8gb installed, most i can get without laging bots is around 30 on xp cause i'm limited by the ram, i have a q9650 so i cant see cpu limit being a problem.

and yes its all off the one computer.

Aw, I have the Q9550. :(
Anyway, if you're looking for AI, MERV is basically your only option. Either Smong or Bak has one for ASSS I think, but I'm not sure they do the same thing.

If you wanted, you could use another bot to handle all your non-AI needs, and then only use MERV for AI. Do you have both XP and 7 on the same computer? Or are they actually separate computers? Remember, your bots don't have to run on the same computer as your server.

i'v got it duel boot, maby i could try using the xp mode in win 7 and see if it works.
when i'm on xp it seam like the bots memery is constantley put into page file and pulled back out makeing them lag, the extra 4gp i get from the 64bit side should reduce the problem.

i just noticed that each spawn tryes to connect to a diffent ip

spawn 1 uses 127.0.0.1
spawn 2 uses 127.1.0.1
spawn 3 uses 127.3.0.1

is that normial or is that the problem to why they cant connect?

That's.... fucking weird, to say the least.

But, apparently these all point to 127.0.0.1, I just pinged them.

I know this is a few years later, but on Windows Server 2008 R2 I am also seeing this same behavior. I tracked it down in the core of mervbot, but I'm not sure why Catid implemented it this way. Maybe it was an attempt to control packet flooding from the core when multiple spawns were loaded?

If the current spawn couldn't be located, it appears to rotate the IP address octets, when it's attempting to connect to 127.0.0.1. Though I can ping 127.1.0.1 - the bot can't connect into the server.

I've commented this code out and my very limited testing showed it allowed the spawn to connect to subgame.

hostlist.cpp
Code: Show/Hide
bool hostList::connectHost(BOT_INFO &botInfo)
{
   if (!findSpawn(botInfo.name))
   {
      Uint32 ip = botInfo.ip;

      if ((ip & 0x000000ff) == 0x0000007f) // 127.x.x.x
      {
         ip += mix_ctr;

         if ((ip & 0xff000000) == 0)
         {
            ip += 0x01000000;
            mix_ctr += 0x01000000;
         }

         botInfo.ip = ip;
         mix_ctr += 0x00000100;
      }
