)? so, could this party actually result in less deaths?I have this same issue! (1.1.5)
One bot team works fine, but cant find the setting to set up another.
Other than that, great work!

the question sucks, but:
is this stuff really worth the time and worth the risk of bugs/random problems?
i mean, is the revenue definitely way higher than running each bot solo?
i guess if you have more than 4 bots it's only possible to set up 1 team?
100% compatible with YAR?

One way to find out
i for one am definately not going back to running bots solo.For the yar question, yes it is.
_ Im using Simple follow 1.1.5, db 310 , trinity 17212 ( i know i should update trinity, but its ok with me now, im lazy lol ) all things are fine now, 2 teams run flawlessly, but one problem : When leader uses waypoint to other node, followers will back to town, then click to leader's banner, right? But sometimes, i'm not sure because of lagging, or delaying or somethings, followers cant actually click to leader's banner.
_ Then, they click to others 's banner, AND their banner too ! before click again to leader 's banner. It leads to this situation: followers doing their jobs along with leader, when ... banner design window is opening ! I don think its trinity problem or db problem, my ping is 150, high enough to make a bad lagging, so may be b ots ... miss click ?
_ Coz its not a huge problem, and didnt happen frequently, so i dont attach logs here, but i think some1 here got that problem too! hope u guy, rrrix, takes a quick look about that
p/s: sorry about my broken english

my followers are having issues using WP: they don't even go to town to use banner, they just open WP list and stand there (noticed when going Tower1 -> Crater2 and Fields -> Keeps1, but Core -> Tower1 is fine). I'm using russian client if it matters and Ultima Magi Extended profile.

Rrrix fixed this in the git version, so it'll get here by itself sooner or later
testing git version now 
Everything was ok, but now my leader stopped inviting followers. And when I do it manually followers leave game with message: [23:43:22.354 N] [SimpleFollow] Leader is not in game, exiting
[23:47:44.889 Q] [SimpleFollow] ERROR: Could not initialize follow service. Do you already have a leader started? - message from leader bot
It started after I did update the plugin.

I've been testing this plugin for all the day, and maybe have some answers for people wondering things (I know I did):
CPU usage is slightly higher than using individual bots. Hard to notice though, It wont probably change the amount you are able to run unless you were already maxing you cpu.
It requires another plugin, so if you have a buch of bots and wanna give it a try you can just setup a different Db folder for your party bots and use this one for them, the rest using the normal DB folder.
It is incredibly easy to setup. It will not take you more than 5 minutes to get them going.
Items per hour will increase substantially, especially if you have an undergeared char, compared to individual play. So will your bots survivability and you could even try a higher Mp than you were expecting too. You can set 2 offensive (the best geared) bots and 2 defensive (the worst geared ones) and this will improve the whole group. This works amazing with multiple monks. Several mantras+ inner sanctuary+ cyclone strike(for attracting trash to one spot)+exploding palm(to clear trash faster)......possibilities are amazing. Dh0s using the mark or sentry, warriors with multicry......
As another person mentioned, reduce elite and trash killing radius to 20-30 and max them for the leader to avoid followers going out alone.
I'm using Yar and have 4 bots running party and 8 bots individual run. No problems / issues at all related to the relogger so far.
I've seen 2 problems so far:
1) sometimes the followers will port back to town and use the wrong banner. Even their own. It will solve by itself in a few seconds, so no biggie. Still , I guess Rrrix will make it better soon enough.
2)The town run. In the profiles I normally use, I normally force townrun at the beggining of the run to avoid unnecesary travels to town along the way; yet, due to the fact that the leader bot uses the normal profile, he will use tr but the follower bots will be still loading-opening their games and getting invited. I think this could be solved if we could add a 1 minute wait at the beggining of the leader profile to give followers time to be invited, to join, and to do townrun routine (and maybe repairing) themselves. Adding a wait timer would do this Rrrrix? On the leader profile.
A related issue is how to force townrun in the followers at the beggining of the profile (simplefollow) yet do not force them to do so each time they are in town, that is really often to use banners to leader. I use If in town tags normally, how could we force a townrun for followers ONLY when profile loads?
TLDR: This plugin will improve your results and it is fucking easy to use. Give it a try...now!

Followers force townrun when leader does a town run in git version, the banner issue has also been resolved.
Other than that nice post for people new to the plugin

That's great news! I still should suffer the tr issue, because leader will do tr at the exact beggining of the profile, when the followers are still being loaded and haven't been invited.
I can obviously just disable the initial tr on the leader profile, but I would rather set a X minute waiting time for the leader to give time to the followers to be up and ready, and to avoid the 2 slots left in inventory--no looting that somehow I'm still randomly suffering. I wish I knew how!
Thx you guys, and rrrix too, who make this wonderful stuff Im having fun now with monks combo lol
Btw, even all things are good now, i have 2 little problems, not really problems, but ...
1st, CPU usage is a bit higher than before, i checked both process ( task manager ) and stats of YAR, all d3 cpu usage is higher for me. It spikes from 30% ( old usage pre-follow ) to 60+ % ( spike ) then back. Im using core i7 3770k OC 4.2 GHz. Anythings or stuffs or settings that can lower cpu usage in this situation ?
2nd, Im using R-YAR 0.2.0.13 ( newest i think ) and enable loading all plugins. But followers always dont load simple follow plugins ! when they are crashed, or 2st login or somethings, no loading at all. However, they still go and fight like the plugins are all loaded lol) So question is : do followers have to load simple follow plugin to do their job? or just copy that stuff in, and load profile, no load after db is set up after 1st time loading ? ( for port etc ? )
Thx for reading !
P/s: im using git version of simple follow

This is bad advice - use the Plugin GUI to change the port... why are you editing .cs files?
