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.

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.

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.
