Ghost ++ config

GHOST++

1) General overview

What is GHost++? It's autohosting bot designed for hosting different warcraft maps. It's main feature is great delay and lag reduction - when hosted on good Internet connection it provides almost perfect gaming conditions - there is no lag and delay is imperceptible, like if every player in the game would be the host. GHost has also many additional features like country/ping check ( you don't need banlist anymore for that ! ), hosting game with observer slot, swapping players in game lobby ( no need to rejoin the game when you want to change team anymore ), kicking player from the game ( yes, you can kick feeder/flamer/noob without using any 3rd party software ! ) and many more. Don't wait, download it now and enjoy new quality of gaming !

Ghost++ is an improved version of ghost, which works on linux and allow hosting different maps, other than the standard dota map. Ghost++ is available in English and Brazilian Portuguese.

Attention : In order to host games with GHost you need to have 'normal' hosting. If you're not able to host normally you WON'T be able to host via bot!

2) Configuration

Ghost is very small and easy to install, console application that must just run on your computer. After you download, unzip it.
Enter ghost folder, find a file called ghost.cfg, right click on it > Open With > Wordpad.
You will see alot of things written there, don't worry, its pretty easy to configure the file.
Don't modify anything except the things I post here (unless you know what you're doing)
Search for the following values and modify them respectively.

Quote :

bot_war3path = Link to your warcraft game
bot_hostport = The port you use to host the game
bot_commandtrigger = Trigger you want to use
bot_mappath = Link to your warcraft Maps folder
bot_patch23ornewer = 1 to acknowledge the new patch
bnet_server = 112.200.179.67
bnet_username = username of your bot, NOT YOUR username, ghost must have a different username than you do, create a new one here
bnet_password = Password of your bot account
bnet_firstchannel = first channel the bot should enter
bnet_rootadmin = Your Username

THE FOLLOWING SHOULD BE COPIED EXACTLY OR THE BOT WONT WORK

bnet_custom_war3version = 24
bnet_custom_exeversion =
bnet_custom_exeversionhash =
bnet_custom_passwordhashtype = pvpgn

OR for 1.24e

### new patch version

bot_patch23ornewer = 1

### the path to your local Warcraft III directory
### this path must contain war3.exe, storm.dll, and game.dll
### this path must end in your system's path seperator (i.e. "" on Windows or "/" on Linux)
### if this path contains War3Patch.mpq the bot will attempt to extract "Scripts\common.j" and "Scripts\blizzard.j" on startup and write them to bot_mapcfgpath (which is defined later in this file)
### common.j and blizzard.j are only required for automatically calculating map_crc, you do not need them if your map config files already contain map_crc

bot_war3path = C:\Program Files\Warcraft III\

### the address GHost++ will bind to when hosting games (leave it blank to bind to all available addresses)

bot_savegamepath = savegames\

### the path to the directory where you keep your map files (must end in your system's path seperator)
### GHost++ doesn't require map files but if it has access to them it can send them to players and automatically calculate most map config values
### GHost++ will search [bot_mappath + map_localpath] for the map file (map_localpath is set in each map's config file)

bot_mappath = maps\

### whether to save replays or not

bot_savereplays = 0

### the path to the directory where you want GHost++ to save replays (must end in your system's path seperator)

bot_replaypath = replays\

### the bot's virtual host name as it appears in the game lobby
### colour codes are defined by the sequence "|cFF" followed by a six character hexadecimal colour in RRGGBB format (e.g. 0000FF for pure blue)
### the virtual host name cannot be longer than 15 characters including the colour code, if you try to go over this limit GHost++ will use the default virtual host name

bot_virtualhostname = |cFF4080C0GHost

### whether to hide each player's IP address from other players or not

bot_hideipaddresses = 0

### whether to require spoof checks or not
### disabling spoof checks just turns off automatic spoof checks and requiring players to be spoof checked before starting the game
### spoof checks need to be enabled if you want GHost++ to detect which realm each player came from (use the !check command to see the realm)
### you can always manually spoof check by whispering the bot (and in fact is required before running admin commands)

bot_spoofchecks = 1

### whether to automatically save games when a player disconnects
### this can always be changed for a particular game with the !autosave command

### whether to allow map downloads or not
### set to 0 to disable map downloads
### set to 1 to enable map downloads
### set to 2 to enable conditional map downloads (an admin must start each map download with the !download or !dl command)

bot_allowdownloads = 1

### whether to ping players during map downloads or not
### GHost++ will always stop pinging any players who are downloading the map
### this config value determines whether GHost++ should stop pinging *all* players when at least one player is downloading the map

### auto kick players with ping higher than this

bot_autokickping = 400

### games which are set to automatically start when enough players join are exempt from this limit (e.g. autohosted games)

### the game latency
### this can always be changed for a particular game with the !latency command (which enforces a minimum of 50 and a maximum of 500)

bot_latency = 100

### the maximum number of packets a player is allowed to get out of sync by before starting the lag screen
### before version 8.0 GHost++ did not have a lag screen which is the same as setting this to a very high number
### this can always be changed for a particular game with the !synclimit command (which enforces a minimum of 10 and a maximum of 10000)

bot_synclimit = 50

### whether votekicks are allowed or not

bot_votekickallowed = 1

### the percentage of players required to vote yes for a votekick to pass
### the player starting the votekick is assumed to have voted yes and the player the votekick is started against is assumed to have voted no
### the formula for calculating the number of votes needed is votes_needed = ceil( ( num_players - 1 ) * bot_votekickpercentage / 100 )
### this means it will round UP the number of votes required
### if you set it to 100 it will require 2/3, 3/4, 4/5, 5/6, 6/7, 7/8, 8/9, 9/10, 10/11, and 11/12 votes to pass
### if you set it to 90 it will require 2/3, 3/4, 4/5, 5/6, 6/7, 7/8, 8/9, 9/10, 9/11, and 10/12 votes to pass
### if you set it to 80 it will require 2/3, 3/4, 4/5, 4/6, 5/7, 6/8, 7/9, 8/10, 8/11, and 9/12 votes to pass
### if you set it to 70 it will require 2/3, 3/4, 3/5, 4/6, 5/7, 5/8, 6/9, 7/10, 7/11, and 8/12 votes to pass
### if you set it to 60 it will require 2/3, 2/4, 3/5, 3/6, 4/7, 5/8, 5/9, 6/10, 6/11, and 7/12 votes to pass

### the default map (the .cfg is added automatically)

###

1) Keep the CD keys as they are (FFFFFF..) dont put ur CD keys unless you are hosting on blizzard servers.
2) bnet_war3path and bot_mappath should end with '' (C:\Warcraft III is wrong while C:\Warcraft III\ is correct)
3) All values starting with admingame must be kept as they are, as they are not ment for PVPGN Servers


Now run ghost.exe, you should get something like this



3) Playing using Ghost++

After your ghost logged in correctly, start warcraft and enter to the channel where your ghost is.
You can make your ghost come to you by whisper it
/w perito_bot !say /join W3-Bots
1) load the map you want to play
!map dota6.69c
2) start a public game
!pub AP/EU/PROS ONLY
3) Join the game you just created and swap your self to the blue position using !swap command.
4) Read the readme.txt file or the following list of commands to use the other brilliant features of ghost++ such as autohosting, getting statistics about your games, banning, announcing, and many other features!
