I'm not sure if anyone one would support this but I figure it couldn't hurt to ask.

Note: I'm not requesting the newest version but the one prior to it. The reason for this is because of the in game anti afk kick system. In the one I'm suggesting it kicks if you do not move your hero after the initial warning (2 minutes not moving your hero at all). In the newer one it kicks if they do not leave their base after the initial warning (2 minutes of sitting in your base running between shops). They have 30 seconds to react in either cases. New players tend to read recipes and items spending forever in their base. There's a lot of recipes/items trust me the ladder leads to more kicks then the not moving their hero one does.

Are you sure no one else is autohosting this already?

Hello -

As far as I know, the only existing autohost of the map is done by the CHAR clan itself, and to be perfectly frank - their bot sucks. In a BGN or ENT hosted game on pub hosting, I can spent twenty or so minutes for a 3v3 at peak hours. In the CHAR bot, I can spend an hour and a half and see one other person join.

I'm not sure what realms their bot is connected to, but it might very well be only east.

I host at least one CHAR game a day on either BGN or ENT, and I'd like if it had a chance to gain more steam - there was a time when it was very easy to fill. Now? Not so much. The wait times discourage new players, I see. Of course, having Randomloser turn their face to jelly can't help, but at least they can get into the game.

An autohost might help boost popularity, if it was on a bot that was capable of generating more traffic.

Regards,

There is a bot that autohost but it very rarely appears on the game list of the realms it covers. It covers only US(East)/West. It manage well not exist honestly. The owner of the bot wouldn't mind if a better server would host he prefer it actually.

How the game fills I guess depends on the time of day actually I have a lot better luck with Ent then I do BGN in that regard. In a worse case scenario on Ent player joins see's the game isn't full leaves, the next player joins very shortly see's the same thing leaves, kind of an annoying pattern and when that happens it does take forever to fill. BGN on the other hand I think their private hosting bots have terrible refreshes because I could be hosting dota's and still have to wait 20 minutes for the game to fill.

Well if he posts here then we'll autohost it, otherwise don't want to flood gamelist with duplicate bots.

Hello I am the Owner of the only bot Currently hosting Char I am working with very limited resources and would be happy to take my bot down if someone else with a better setup would like to take over hosting.

Thanks for response! What would you recommend to set number of players to autostart (and also votestart if needed) or what slot configuration should it be? Also, would you prefer this to be a bot that you have control over and you manage (but we host), or that we host and manage?

[Wrathtoruin]

Not a problem.I our standard game is a 3v3 though 2v2 and 1v1 are popular as well so I would have it set for a 3v3 auto host with force start available.As for my actual slot setup here is a ghost map cfg that should help if you are running either Ghost ++ or Ghost one.

map_path = Download\CHAR2_Final2.w3x
map_localpath = CHAR2_Final2.w3x


map_size =
map_info =
map_crc =
map_sha1 =
map_options =
map_width =
map_height =
map_numplayers = 12
map_numteams = 2
map_slot1 = 0 255 0 0 0 0 1 1 100
map_slot2 = 0 255 0 0 0 0 1 1 100
map_slot3 = 0 255 0 0 0 0 1 1 100
map_slot4 = 0 255 1 0 0 0 1 1 100
map_slot5 = 0 255 1 0 0 0 1 1 100
map_slot6 = 0 255 1 0 0 0 1 1 100
map_slot7 = 0 255 0 0 1 1 1 1 100
map_slot8 = 0 255 0 0 1 1 1 1 100
map_slot9 = 0 255 0 0 1 1 1 1 100
map_slot10 = 0 255 1 0 1 1 1 1 100
map_slot11 = 0 255 1 0 1 1 1 1 100
map_slot12 = 0 255 1 0 1 1 1 1 100

Also being that it is your bot I would prefer that you host and manage I have tried to manage others before and it ended badly so I would rather not however if you are running Ghost one software I would be happy to take a remote access pass so I can check in on it.

Alright, thanks for info! Should be autohosting now.

[Orimis]

Nice! thank you very much.

[Wrathtoruin]

If you would be so kind as to post the name of the bot it would make it easier to find games.

[uakf.b]

I am pretty sure it is ENT62.

[Wrathtoruin]

Thank you sir.
