This is an update for rrrix amazing SimpleFollow 1.2.8 plugin. OPTIMIZED FOR LAN USE.
Since he hasn't had time to work on it and it hasn't been working the way I want I took some time to make the necessary changes.
I may or may not update this fork based on feedback, my time, my needs, and what rrrix decides to do with the base SimpleFollow.
What this plugin is:
- This is a hack job of SimpleFollow to add functionality I felt was missing.
- Made for myself, I am releasing it to the community because it has functions that have been requested.
- Made primarily for a duo setup.
- Way more stable over LAN for me than the original SimpleFollow.
What this plugin is not:
- Going to work for everyone. Through tinkering with the code for SimpleFollow I have found that the way it is currently coded is very dependent on computer specs. I do not have the expertise to completely recode to take into account older/slower computers, so I have made other adjustments for my needs.
- Bug free.
- Noob friendly.
=================================================================================================
1.0.4 Changes:
1. Fix for friends list staying open. Definitely works on a duo (1 Leader 1 follower) setup. It should be working up to a full group as well.
KEEP IN MIND YOU CANNOT HAVE MORE THAN YOUR FOLLOWERS ON YOUR FRIENDS LIST FOR THIS TO WORK PROPERLY!
2. Added some log entries for debugging purposes. If you have any issues with invites/friends list post your log and I'll see what I can do.
1.0.2 and 1.0.3 Changes:
1. Possible fixes for friends list staying open.
1.0.1 Changes:
1. Disabled the sleep timer, it's not needed.
2. I believe I fixed the party invite issue.
1.0.0 Changes:
1. Timing adjustments across the board. The original SimpleFollow was causing issues with my older system so I made adjustments to just about every delay the bot uses. As a result it is 100x more stable for me.
2. Added a fix for followers not joining the leader as soon as he enters an instance. More often then not previously the followers would take about 10-15 seconds before using the leader's banner.
3. Added a way to have followers log out before the leader so they do not get kicked from the group.

Instructions for use:
- Extract the SimpleFollow folder into your Plugins directory overriding your existing SimpleFollow folder if necessary.
- If you want to use the plugin with multiple computers over LAN check out Drazz446's great tutorial: http://www.thebuddyforum.com/demonbuddy-forum/plugins/117732-party-plugin-simplefollow-multi-bot-party-plugin-55.html#post1383851
- For installation and configuration issues please see the original SimpleFollow thread.
New profile tags:
- In order to have the followers join the leader quicker and also log out before the leader does you must make adjustments to the profile you are running. I have attached a sample profile so you can see what this should look like.
1. statusText="Start"
Example:
<TakeTownPortal statusText="Start" questId="72738" stepId="12" />
- This will cause the followers to run to the banner as soon as the leader takes the portal so they don't stand around in town like idiots.
2. statusText="End"
Example:
<TrinityTownPortal questId="72738" stepId="12"/>
<WaitTimer statusText="End" questId="72738" stepId="12" waitTime="10000" />
<LeaveGame reason="End of the run" stayInParty="True" />
- This will have the leader start his town portal, which will also make the followers use theirs. After getting back to town the leader will wait 10 seconds while the followers log out, and then log out himself with everyone staying in the party.
