footmen frenzy

[fruechtegott]

hi,
is there any reason for not having Footmen Frenzy on the bots? I think the game is a lot of fun but at the moment there seems to be just a bad version of 4.2 to be hosted by some other bot. Can somebody explain?
And thanks for the good hosting btw.

You're free to make an autohost suggestion in https://entgaming.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=126
Make sure to follow the format.

Aside from that, my own opinion on footmen frenzy is that it's simply too large to get games going. I can't see it being an actively played game of the community especially with CHF holding it's own (though the bot for it might be down not entirely sure) community. I rarely see it being privately hosted here on ENT and doubt that's it held even an ounce of activity within the last month or 2.

Footmen frenzy itself is a nice map I won't lie, it's also old and has no active editors besides CHF and even that remains inactive.

Used to be very popular game. I dont see many people play it these days though.

I have moved your suggestion topic to autohost section. Please edit your first topic post following this format:

Code: Select all

[b]Link to map[/b] (or load code if it's on the public hosting bot):
[b]Slot layout[/b] if applicable (for example, if some slots need to be closed):
[b]Number of players[/b] until autostart:
[b]Problems with map[/b] (like cheats and such), if any:
[b]Why the map should be autohosted[/b]:
[b]Special notes[/b]:

You guys are awesome for taking my suggestion seriously. It's like i said: there is currently one version of 4.2 hosted and it gets full after around 10 - 15 minutes. Most of the time it is worth the wait. Played 5.5.3 one time on another bot, but now it seems to be down. It would be so great if we get this going. Thanks again for your great job.

Link to map: http://www.epicwar.com/maps/254750/
Slot layout: nothing special. all slots opened.
Number of players until autostart: 12
Problems with map (like cheats and such), if any: not any known problems with this version.
Why the map should be autohosted: because it's a lot of fun if you get a full game plus a good version.

I used to play footy 4.2 a lot like 9-10 years ago. I would at least give it a try again if we get a host bot with enough activity for it, and the 5.5.3 version is close to the old 4.2 (-ar) version.

Used to be autohosted, but became inactive.

I believe there is a known autohosting footies bot. Play that one or use our priv hosting services.
