Troubleshooting
Muster doesn’t show up in the AddOns list
The folder is probably nested one level too deep. You need Interface/AddOns/Muster/Muster.toc, not Interface/AddOns/Muster-0.1.0/Muster/Muster.toc. Move the inner Muster folder up.
If it’s listed as out of date, tick Load out of date AddOns on the character screen.
The roster stays empty
- Press Refresh. The roster isn’t loaded until you ask.
- Type
.playerbot bot listin chat yourself. If the server answers There is no such command, the server doesn’t run mod-playerbots, or bots are disabled for players. - The roster lists your own account’s other characters and the random bots in your group. A brand-new account with one character has an empty roster until you add bots by class.
Raise stops after a few bots
Muster prints the server’s reason. The common ones:
| Message | Meaning | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Add class failed, no available characters! | the server has no free character of that class for your faction | raise Playerbots.AddClassAccountPoolSize, or remove some bots |
| Failure: You have added too many bots | you reached Playerbots.MaxAddedBots |
raise it, or dismiss some bots |
| You do not have permission to create bot by addclass command | Playerbots.AddClassCommand is 0 |
set it to 1, or use a GM account |
| Your level is too low to summon Deathknight | death knights need a high-level master | no template uses death knights; this only comes from the DK icon |
See Server settings.
Bots join but keep the wrong spec
- Check that Set each bot’s spec is ticked on the Muster tab.
- The bot answers
Spec ... not foundif your server renamed its premade specs. Whisper ittalents spec listto see the names it knows. - The spec is whispered within a minute of the request; a bot that takes longer to log in keeps its own spec. Whisper it
talents spec <name>yourself.
Bots ignore orders
- Orders to everyone or a role go out in party or raid chat, so you must be in a group with the bots.
- Bots only take orders from their master: the player who added them. A bot someone else added doesn’t listen to you.
- A role filter only reaches bots with that role. If
@tank followdoes nothing, your tank may have a damage spec; check with the Strategies tab.
Strategies don’t load
Press Read from bot with exactly one bot selected (or targeted). The bot whispers Strategies: ... twice, once for combat and once for out of combat. If nothing comes back, the bot isn’t yours or isn’t online.
