Ghost++:Commands

Important details before usage The default trigger for the bot is !, if you change it to ., then it will change for all the bot's commands. Example: Default trigger command: |!ban Changed trigger command: |.ban Parameters in angled brackets {like this} are required and parameters in square brackets [like this] are optional. Note that the commands are listed with a ! as the command trigger, the actual command triggers are controlled by the settings in your ghost.cfg file. The ? trigger tells you what the bot's command trigger is. Note that the "?trigger" command always uses a "?" as the command trigger, regardless of any command trigger settings in your bot. If sent via battle.net the bot will only respond to anonymous users if bnet_publiccommands = 1. If sent via any game lobby or any game the bot will respond with a private message visible only to the requesting user.

Tutorial:Ghost One

GHostOne is a hosting tool for any Warcraft III map, based on GHost++ (command line version, without interface). First of all, you need to be able to host, to host with GHost. If you are unable to host normally (without bot) you WON'T be able to host with GHost! So first make sure you first set up your hosting properly by taking a look on our guides/forums. Download GHostOne here ("with source" is for programmers only). Unpack/install it on any folder. Run GhostOne.exe on the folder you installed GHost. (Loopback) If you are using a router (like most of users), you may need to add a "Loopback adapter" in order to join your own games (first try without changing anything). Tutorial:Ghost Unjoinable own game for more info while doing it. Once you set up the Loopback adapter, rename the loopback connection on Start > Network Connections to simply "Loopback". That will allow GHost to detect your new IP every time it changes and update your loopback configurations automatically. Go into GHost Options > Main Configuration tab. The fields which should be filled are marked on the image below and are self-explicative on the program itself. Click Apply Changes once you are done. http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee82/niceone_548/Ghost/ghostpic.png http://e.imagehost.org/0183/1_52.jpg Some notes: The user and password fields are your bot's account, not yours. You should create a different account for your bot to log in with. Your actual server account goes into "root admin" field. Use the folowing settings in ghost.cfg file. 1.28.5 Compile the latest version of bncsutil and vesioncheck should work without custom hashes. If you can't do that, here are the hashes: bnet_custom_war3version = 28 bnet_custom_exeversion = 0 5 28 1 bnet_custom_exeversionhash = 201 63 116 96 bnet_custom_passwordhashtype = pvpgn 1.26a bnet_custom_war3version = 26 bnet_custom_exeversion = 1 0 26 1 bnet_custom_exeversionhash = 39 240 218 47 bnet_custom_passwordhashtype = pvpgn Hit Auto-Configure on the bottom. GHost should detect automatically your Warcraft III path and ports (those should be portforwarded). In case it doesn't correctly, those settings may be manually set on Ghost Options, Page 5 and 6. http://e.imagehost.org/0709/2_21.jpg You are done! Finally, go to the first program's tab, GHost, and press Run GHost. It should now connect to Eurobattle.net and watch for commands from the root admin. Ghost one commands overview

Ghost unjoinable LAN game

So your friend or brother is hosting a game and you can’t join; what to do now? There is a really cool feature in Ghost++, introduced in version 9.x which allows people on same network to play together without any problem. This feature is called the “Admin Game” and was initially designed to do a completely different job. Fortunately for us, Admin Game also solves the joining LAN games problem. First, download and set up Ghost++ or GhostOne, you can find a simple guide to do that <<<LINK HERE TO SOME TUTORIAL>>> After your ghost can enter eurobattle.net and host games normally , we will make a simple modification to the configuration to allow Admin games (and thus people on same LAN to enter). Edit the ghost.cfg] to include this: ############################ # ADMIN GAME CONFIGURATION # ############################ ### whether to create the admin game or not (see readme.txt for more information) admingame_create = 1 ### the port GHost++ will host the admin game on (this must be different from your bot_hostport) admingame_port = 6114 ### the admin game password admingame_password = xpam Note: You need to set admingame_port in ghost.cfg to the port you want to host the admin game on. It *must* be different from your bnet_hostport *and* from your Warcraft 3 port. bot_hostport = 6000 admingame_port = 6114 Enter Warcraft , Options > Game Play > Port should be different (default is 6112) Save the file and start ghost.exe GHost++ automatically hosts a Warcraft 3 game (the "Admin Game") and broadcasts it to the local network. 1.) Open Warcraft 3 and go to the LAN screen. After a few seconds you will see a game called "GHost++ Admin Game" appear. Join it. 2.) Use the password command to enter your Admin Game password (e.g. !password xpam). a.) If you enter the wrong password you will be kicked from the game and temporarily banned for 5 seconds. 3.) Use the map or load command to load a map. (e.g. !map dota6.73b) 4.) Use the priv/privby/pub/pubby commands to create a game. You should wait until it says "Battle.net game hosting succeeded" before continuing. (e.g. !pub AP/Eu/PROS) 5.) Leave the game and return to the LAN screen. After a few seconds you will see your newly created game appear. Join it. 6.) You are now ready to play. Your game has been created on battle.net. 7.) If you make a mistake and want to unhost the game you can use !unhost in either game (the Admin Game or your newly created game). We are aware that this feature is easily abusable, you can choose any nickname in place of yours. This is a warning, if you abuse this feature your IP will be PERMANENTLY Banned From Eurobattle.net. No Excuses. This guide and feature is to help you. DO NOT ABUSE IT.

Then Choose Microsoft Loopback Adapter http://img47.imageshack.us/img47/4237/31367493ez2.jpg 8) Click Next. You Have successfully installed the Loopback adapter. 9) Find the appropriate IP Address you need. ''a)'' If you are trying to join a game created by your Ghost bot. Go to http://whatismyip.com , and note down the IP Address. ''b)'' If you are trying to join a game hosted by a PC on your LAN, find out the IP Address of the PC hosting the game 10) Go to the newly created Adapter and right click on it and choose Properties. If you don't know where the Adapter is located then do this: Start > Control Panel > View network status and tasks or Network and Sharing Center > In the left hand pane click: ''Manage network connections'' http://img399.imageshack.us/img399/4391/48024046ag8.jpg 11) Click on Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and Click on Properties. http://img399.imageshack.us/img399/1563/53002777ln2.jpg 12) Choose Use the following IP address , and fill the IP address you noted in step 9. Press TAB. Note: If Subnet mask 255.0.0.0 didn't work, try using 255.255.255.0 http://img399.imageshack.us/img399/7340/10hg7.jpg 13) Click Ok twice. Make sure to read the first post for additional information. Windows Vista has very similar method to create a Loopback adapter. If you are trying to join a game hosted by a PC on your LAN: Before trying the loopback make sure you opened a different port in your PC thats trying to join. For example, if the hosting PC is hosting under port 6112, the PC that's trying to join should work with port 6113 (and this port should be port forwarded and opened in firewalls). If another PC is trying to join, it should work with port 6114 .. etc - Configure the Game Port Warcraft III will use on each computer: - Start Warcraft III on each computer - Click Options - Click Gameplay - Approximately half way down the screen you will see Game Port, each of your computers will need to use a different port Example: Computer #1 can use port 6112, computer #2 can use port 6113, computer #3 can use port 6114, and so on. - Configure your Router to forward the incoming data for port x to the computer where you setup Warcraft III to use that port For more information on configuring your router, please contact your router manufacturer. - Try playing the game If that didn't work, you can follow the guide: Solving the joining LAN Games Problem below For Vista Users: You might need to change your IP address manually, check these guides: http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/help/e070bf7b-6d5e-4f49-b4f7-10aa8d8b11e21033.mspx http://www.lockergnome.com/windows/2006/10/18/configure-tcpip-in-vista/ Hi guys, after few weeks of trying to solve problem of joining your own game, or game created by other machine in Local Area Network (LAN), i finally managed to get it to work. PLEASE NOTE: This solution maybe won`t work for you! This settings is usually for ADSL users! If you have problem to join your own game, try http://dotabot.net/wiki/index.php/Tutorial:Unable_to_join_LAN_game with loopback first (usually this will work). If you tried that, and you still cannot join game created in LAN, then probably you are behind a router or a gateway that doesn`t support NAT Loopback. The solution for this problem is in general: 1.Turn your router/gateway in Pure Bridge mode 2. Enable PPPoE connection on all of your computers (You will need the username and password from your ISP) 3. Fix your http://eurobattle.net/showthread.php?t=103947 (firewall rules) 4. Try to host public game, if everyone (from the internet) can join, then try to join your other machines on LAN This works for most of routers that doesn`t support NAT Loopback, but the settings about pure bridge mode, may be different, based on your router and it`s own firmware.

Invalid Password Ghost

If you get the "Invalid Password" message and you are sure about your password, then perhaps your bot account needs to be activated: http://app.eurobattle.net/activate If you still have problems with the password try to do the following: Unzip the ghost++__X.zip Find the file ghost.cfg Right click > Open With > Notepad/Wordpad Edit the values there correctly Remove the # near the pvpgn custom values. Save the file Run ghost.exe Note: You cannot use your account name as your password, otherwise it will not work. If you are facing this, change the password for your bot here: http://banlist.eurobattle.net/tools/chpass.php Or you may try this: Let's say your username is Bob and your password is Huge. You must do the following. Name: Bob Password: Huge In the ghost.cfg you have to write your password without the capitals. So it will look like this: huge

Tutorial:Ghost Unjoinable game

This has exactly the same steps as described in the other tuttorials. Only difference is the port you have to open. The port you have to open can be found in the ghost.cfg file. It is the following value: bot_hostport = For example if it has the folowing value: bot_hostport = 6000 Then you have to forward port 6000. (p.s. this value can be changed at will but it may not have the same value as admingame_port = or the ingame port you use.

Your Own Dota Ladder with Ghost Tutorial

[Tutorial] How to make your own dota ladder? Are you an owner of ghost++ or ghostOne? Would you like to make your own dota ladder to be displayed on your own site? This is the right tutorial for you. MAIN STEP BY STEP FOLLOW THIS TUTORIAL EXACTLY AS IT SAYS OR YOU MIGHT ENCOUNTER ERRORS! Difficulty: Medium Time: ~1 hour, depends on you If you don't yet own a ghost, go and either download ghost++ or ghostOne (recommended). You can get either of them here: http://forum.codelain.com/ Tutorials about setting up ghost and other related things can be found here: Ghost++ : http://www.codelain.com/wiki/index.php?title=ReadMe GhostOne : http://codelain.com/forum/index.php?topic=1274.0 I suggest getting GhostOne, because you will need it later to transform your old database to mysql. If you're on linux, you'll have to use ghost++ and external tools for transformation. STEP 1.1 In order to host your site, you will need to setup a server on your PC. If you already own one (needs PHP+MySQL) skip this step. If you don't own a server already, go download and install WAMP server: http://www.wampserver.com/en/download.php Running linux? Get LAMP server instead. STEP 1.2 Run WAMP server. LEFT click on the tray icon, select Start all services. Open the menu again and click Put Online. When the server is online you will see a white tray icon with the indicator to full. Now go in your modem/router configuration and [B]open port 80 (port forward)[/B]. After you open the port 80, you can now reach your server by putting your IP in browser's adress bar. You can find out your IP here: [url]http://www.whatismyip.com/[/url]. Make sure you also open port 80 on your firewall, if you don't do that, firewall will block all the trafic and nobody will be able to acces your website. Now left click on tray icon of WAMP server and run phpmyadmin. In the "create new database" field, type a random name for your database, ex: dotaladder, and create the database. Make sure you remember this name because you will need it later on. Now select the newly created database (if it's not already selected-on the menu on the left), click on Privileges tab and click on Add new user. Input your new Username, set Hostname=localhost (if you own an external server put your IP here) and Password. In the Global Privileges click on Check all to check all the boxes and hit Go button. Creating a new user is optional, you can also use pre-existing root account, but it has no password and might be vulnerable to hackers. It is recommended to set a new password for root account as soon as possible. STEP 1.3 Now select your database again (if it's not selected already) and hit the Import tab. Open your Ghost folder and search for: for GhostOne: mysql_create_tables_v2.3one.sql for Ghost++: mysql_create_tables_v2.sql File names are outdated, make sure you select the latest version that you find in your ghost folder. Hit the Go button to import the tables. STEP 1.4 Download and install TortoiseSVN http://tortoisesvn.net/downloads Restart your PC. STEP 1.5 Now run WAMP server again, left click on tray and open www directory. Create new folder in www directory and call it whatever you want ex: allstats. Now run explorer (Go: Run>explorer) and in the map treeview search for c:\wamp\www\yourfolder folder. Right click on your folder and select SVN checkout. In the URL of repository, copy this link: http://allstats.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ The checkout repository must be your custom folder you made back then. Hit the Ok button to start downloading Dota Allstats source files. This is the main part of the tutorial. To find out more about the Allstats source, visit http://code.google.com/p/allstats/ Wait for the files to download. STEP 1.6 Open file config.php (it downloaded in your folder) to configure your settings. I recommend using some site editor program but notepad should do the work too. Just be carefull not to save the file as .txt and make sure you choose utf8 coding. The following lines are necessary to be edited: $host = 'localhost'; $username = 'TheUsernameYouCreatedInTheDatabase'; $password = 'TheUsernamePassword'; $databasename = 'TheNameOfYourDatabaseYouCreated'; $botName = 'YourBotName'; $rootAdmin = 'Bot'sRootAdmin'; Other lines are optional. STEP 1.7 Now open PhPMyadmin and select your GHost database on the left. Select the import tab. Click choose file and select the MySQLSetup.sql file (located in your allstats folder). Click Import. STEP 1.8 You're almost done! You can now reach your dota ladder page by putting your IP in the browser's address bar. ex: yourIP/nameofyourfolder You will notice that your ladder is currently empty. In order to import all the data from your old database (if you were using sqlite so far), open GhostOne->Database->Open database (wamp server must be running! after opening the "Import from sqlite" button should appear)->Import from sqlite->Check all boxes and Import. You're done! When importing from old database it could happen that no dota games are imported. This is because you probably weren't using the correct map cfg-s. For dota games to be saved in database, you need to open up your dota cfg, search for line map_type and set it to: map_type=dota OPTIONAL-HIGHLY RECOMMENDED STEP 2.1 - Hiding your IP from public If you want to share the ladder with your friends or with public, it's recommended to hide your IP from them and all other people. http://www.no-ip.com/ Select NO-IP Free, fill up your e-mail and sign up. Fill all the textboxes with your info and create new account. After receiving activation e-mail follow the activation link to activate your account. After that, login and click on Host/Redirects tab. Select Add host, choose your domain name (it will include no-ip.org on the end but it's free!), choose DNS Host (A) option, enter your IP address and create the host. If you have dynamic IP you should also download and install their client which must be run everytime you reconnect to your internet. Their client will assign the correct IP to the domain, because dynamic IP changes on every reconnect. And now you're done! You can check your domain name under [U]Manage hosts[/U] link. Simply enter the adress in your adress bar like this: yourdomainname.no-ip.org/nameofyourfolder/ and that's it! IMPORTANT INFO! -Your ghost won't be able to start if mysql service isn't working. WAMP server must be running (offline or online, doesn't matter) or bot won't be able to connect. But, if you want your ladder site to be visible to the public, your server must be Online. -If you want to start WAMP server on system startup, go Run->type in "shell:startup" and make a shortcut to wamp in the folder which opens (right click on wamp shortcut, hold it and release in Startup folder->create shortcut). You can do this for any other program. -After you succesfully setup allstats, you can uninstall Tortoise SVN, as you probably won't need it for the rest of your life if you're an average user. It'll only take your resources on startup etc. That tool is only needed to download the allstats source files. If you encounter any errors feel free to post or PM me. (Cen)

Transferring WC3-Banlist bans to Ghost Tutorial

Automatic Method - Using GhostOne Instead of using Ghost++, use GhostOne, the modified version of Ghost++ and use it's configuration to transfer the bans. GhostOne can be found http://www.codelain.com/forum/index.php?topic=11643.0 First, go to WC3Banlist and export the bans. http://img183.imageshack.us/my.php?image=99013336jd3.jpg Second , go to GhostOne Database http://img390.imageshack.us/my.php?image=69925845vy3.jpg Third , open the database http://img216.imageshack.us/my.php?image=61561404op6.jpg Forth , Import exported bans http://img216.imageshack.us/my.php?image=25698648gf4.jpg Fifth , specify the server, and path to file, then click on Import Bans from XML , then click on Add imported bans to ghost.dbs http://img183.imageshack.us/my.php?image=80366044ew9.jpg Finally , close the database ... and you're done ! http://img216.imageshack.us/my.php?image=53438020nw0.jpg Manual Method Export your bans and name the file localdb.xml Make sure it has the following structure: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <database version="1.0"> <banlist> .... </banlist> </database> If not edit it and fix the structure. Upload your localdb.xml from WC3banlist to generate a sql file ghost.sql then import that into your ghost.dbs which will update it with records from your banlist you can import it using sqlite analyzer or any other sqlite dbms using http://sqlite.org/download.htmlsqlite command line (Windows) 1. Extract to your ghost folder (the location of ghost.dbs) 2. Create a shorcut to the extracted sqlite3 3. Right-click the shortcut, in target add to the end ghost.dbs ".read ghost.sql" 4. Make sure the ghost.sql is in the ghost folder also, click the shortcut When the empty console box closes it is done if a console box appears and disappears quickly you might of made an error using sqlite analyzer. a). In sqlite analyzer create a new database registration file -> New Database Registration, put the full location of ghost.dbs in database path b). Selecting the ghost database in the list go to file -> open and select the file created from the website c).Click on the Green play button in the toolbar then wait patiently until that turns green again then your done.
