Hostbot returns - EotA-HB

#1 Post by DarnYak »

Thanks to Sparda.

Hosting on Europe, East, and West. Last I checked only 2 games at a time but I'm sure that will be increased as desired.

Yes right now it will only autohost 2 games at a time, but you can make it host another game if your an admin and its sitting around in the channel. right now 2 games at a time should be more then enough, if i see that they are filling up fast i will up it as needed.

And after like 6 hours it's still trying to host its third game.

Why is it only EotA>DotA seems to attract players.

And Sparda, I seem to no longer have admin power.

People dont know what kind of map it is, at least add a [AoS] to the name.

Yak your still on the admin list. i will restart the bot in case it got hosed up or something though. There are a fair number of people coming into the game its hosting, but because its not full they leave after getting the map. make sure your using commands for the game loby when its in a game loby, a lot of the channel commands dont work when the bots in a game loby. you can still wisper the commands to the bot from a channel to a game loby.

On a side note, when set to launch with 8 players and not 10, the bot seems to have a need to launch when it hits 8 or more, weather its 8, 10, or 9 people like. i dont currently see anyway to change this unfortunately. yesterday in our second game it launched the game with 9 players, so it was 5v4 on verdent falls. needless to say the team with 4 lost due to the shrine mechanic.

Other then that it seems to be working well so far.

heh, im sure that was part of it. apparently most of the players from the euro server are lagging in the games. i have no real way to fix this, but its not all of them either, but most of them.

Try game name, EotA > DotA? Try it and see!

There are still the few diehard fans that wait in the lobby for hours trying to get a game going, but the name is just not attracting peoples.

Considering its been sitting on #1 for almost 24 hours now....I guess I'll change the name for science.

Sparda, any chance you can confirm if random players have actually been joining? I've been completely unable to find it on the list since yesterday (wondering if enabling gproxy somehow messed it up).

It's just not showing up on the list. That's the issue.

Its showing on the list for me, but its at the bottom of it all the time. so you gota scroll down for some anoying reason to see it. and yes people have been entering it, but they dont stay after they get the map because most o the time they are the only one in there.

Hello everyone,

The bot is back... I do not have admin power, I used to have (last summer b4 sc2???), can I have it back please? (to start games with few people mostly, it's impossible to get it full)

Sorry to bother again, but when you "gave me admin power" today for the first time it only toggled the reserved flag not the admin one (can't !forcestart or !start).

I'm going to develop a relationship with this bot if I stay in here alone with it for so long.

I don't think you get it.... It doesn't really matter what is done, it won't get much better.

Yeah there isnt much going on in wc3 anymore on the custom maps. there are people that come in but then they leave when no one else joins. it probable wont see much playing unless we do ih games or something like that.
