Tutorial: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.
[B][SIZE=+1]First, download and set up Ghost++ or GhostOne, you can find a simple guide to do that [URL="http://eurobattle.net/showthread.php?t=79455"]here[/URL].[/SIZE][/B] [U]After your ghost can enter eurobattle.net and host games normally[/U], we will make a simple modification to the configuration to allow Admin games (and thus people on same LAN to enter). Edit the [b]ghost.cfg[/b] to include this: [Quote]
- 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 [/Quote]
[B]Note:[/B] 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. [Spoiler][Quote] bot_hostport = 6000 [/Quote] [Quote] admingame_port = 6114 [/Quote] [Quote] Enter Warcraft, Options > Game Play > Port should be different (default is 6112) [/Quote][/Spoiler] Save the file and start ghost.exe GHost++ automatically hosts a Warcraft 3 game (the "Admin Game") and broadcasts it to the local network.
[B]1.)[/B] 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. [B]2.)[/B] Use the password command to enter your Admin Game password (e.g. [I]!password xpam[/I]).
a.) If you enter the wrong password you will be kicked from the game and temporarily banned for 5 seconds.
[B]3.)[/B] Use the map or load command to load a map. (e.g. [I]!map dota6.57[/I]) [B]4.)[/B] 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. [I]!pub AP/Eu/PROS[/I]) [B]5.)[/B] Leave the game and return to the LAN screen. After a few seconds you will see your newly created game appear. Join it. [B]6.)[/B] You are now ready to play. Your game has been created on battle.net. [B]7.)[/B] If you make a mistake and want to unhost the game you can use [I]!unhost[/I] in either game (the Admin Game or your newly created game).
[B]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.[/B]
