We need a bot

I'm aware that we have a bot on most of the time. But the truth of the matter is, it doesn't really do anything besides sit in the channel. I think that we should get a bot that can stay on for all hours of the day and host the game even if it isn't completely finished. This gets it some publicity as well as hypes up people for the new versions, and might draw some attention to the dwindling bnet clan. With more clan members you get more suggestions on the site, and overall a lot better feedback from people who truly want to see this game prosper and grow to be a popular game on bnet.

cellrawr recently got a bot, and my bot can only handle one game at a time

but i agree. lets hope cell's internet can handle a few games at once

i think that starting small would work and that we should get a bot to host 1 game and see how that goes. If people like the map and we see that we can't stop getting a full house we can move up from there.

i know for sure that there are a ton of people out there that love the map and would join it if it was hosted

its about as popular as the other less-known Aos on bnet.

Well from what i've personally seen, when i have my friend Koshijutsu host the map, we never get more than two people in and then we have to wait for hours. All though you might know people who would love to play the game , i dont see very much of the general public rushing to get into the game. And i don't see it being as popular as lesser-known Aos as a good thing. There are a lot of aos out there and if its as popular as those, then...Houston we have a problem.

Just give it time. Nothing is aqquired without patience.

You're going to have to help me set it up for autohosting, grass. I found how to limit the number of games at once, but thats all I could figure out. And I'm gonna have to give admin to people that want to start it up.

Me me me me! Pl0x

K, added you. Oh, and my bot uses . instead of ! which grasses uses. It's so if they are both on, both of them don't start up for people that have access on both (me and gly).

cell, dont use .
thats what 40kbot uses
and whenever were on around the same time next, i can help you set it up

40k bot isnt a hosting bot, its chat bot, isnt it? So it wouldnt matter if I used . also since it doesnt use the same commands

it might have some overlaping commands, but you have a point

One quick note Darth: From personal experience, people join bot games faster than they do normally hosted ones.

also, my bots been autohosting all day, and i lied. Its had a bunch of games, all full, but sadly i wasnt really around to look into feedback and comments >.>

i know a couple people said it sucked, but generally everyone loves it, and a couple people said its better than dota.

so its well recieved, just no one feels like helping out or hosting it themselves

The problem is Grass, as I said before, people ONLY join it when a bot is hosting it. I can't host anymore, but I remember that when I could, you could fill 2-3 bot games in the time it would take me to half-fill one with an auto-refresh.

But yeah, the main complaints seem to be imbalances, but those really only come into play when clannies play heroes, since they seem to know how to play them well (I say they and not we because I now suck at this on a professional level.).

lmao

ive enver noticed that bot games fill faster, but i guess they do XD

yeah i never noticed that either, and while i don't realize why raven specifically targeted me with that statement, it is a good point.

well, i have noticed bot games fill a a lot quicker than regular hosted games because when i host it takes me like 10 minutes for just one person to join the game, but when a bot hosts the game it seems they get people to join ( like a person ever half a minute or something quick like that lol ).

I was also thinking of getting a bot now how would i have to go about doing this. what do i need? or is it not worth it?

you need a spare set of cd-keys for one

they can be for any blizzard game right? like sc or diablo II

and if i used my spare set would i be able to get them back when i didnt want the bot any more?

you would need wc3 keys if you want to host on wc3

and yes, the bot just counts as a user online, so you could even use *your* cd key if you didnt feel like playing at the same time your bot was up

alright damn then i don't got an extra set because my bro uses my extra so i guess i can make a hosting bot.

well, actually how do you make one in case i might make one for my cd key

umm, here: http://codelain.com/forum/index.php?topic=1274.0

for some reason the site is down atm

this one works, but you'll have to find the right links yourself: http://codelain.com/forum/index.php#6

And btw, 40kbot truly does nothing at all, besides being talked through. Well it does absolutely nothing for the clan public, and why is it a shaman? O.o

It's a chat bot, so its a shaman in case someone needs to be kicked, so grass or whoever doesnt have to get on their main account.
