If you are creating a character for the first time and pull down menus read "NULL" there a few things you need to do to populate these menus.
First, either update the class file by running the SVN, or go to your Innerspace/Scripts/EQ2Bot/Spell_List folder and copy the appropriate .xml file (if you are setting up to use an assassin copy over the assassin.xml file) to the following folder Innerspace/Scripts/EQ2OgreBot/Ability_Information. Copy over the existing file.
Next, in the isx console type in, "run ogre spell" This will create a export of all usable spells in the character's spell book. It will end up in the Ability_Information folder mentioned above. For assassins it will be called assassin_SpellExport.xml
Close OgreBot and restart it. Following those steps should populate menus with your character's abilities.
Next, using the pull down menu "Group or Self Buffs" select and "Add Buffs" to the box below that you want your character to cast during combat. The spells will be cast in the order they are added. This can be used to cast spells on your group or yourself.
To the right is "Non-Combat Buffs" for adding spells that you do not want cast during combat. Choices such as Pathfinding, summoning of shaman pets, Shrink Servent, etc. Otherwise this operates the same as the Group or Self Buffs.
Below both of these sections is "Single Target Buffs that appears on you" menu that allows for a single spell to be buffed on a groupmate. This area is used for fighter class buffs that show up in the buff window as cast on the caster (i.e. berzerker Reckless Aid, guardian Never Surrender, etc.).
On the far right is the section for casting single target buffs. For it to work the box on the left of the buff to be cast must be checked. The use the pull down to select the buff to be cast (Single Target Buffs) and to the right (Cast On:) selects the character the buff is to be cast on. Again the order the buff is in the pull down is the order the spells will be recast if needed. Note that the bot will not cancel buffs so if there is a buff that requires a concentration slot the bot will not remove it even if you remove it from the Group or Single Target Buff areas. It will need to be manually canceled. Otherwise you will get the red message that you do not have enough concentration points to cast the new spell.
