The new readme section:

============
Auto Hosting
============

Since Version 10.4 GHost++ can automatically host and start public games without admin intervention.
Here’s how:

1.) Load the map you want to auto host with the !load or !map commands.
2.) Use the !autohost command to start the auto hosting process.
3.) The bot will keep track of which map config file was loaded when the !autohost command was used and it will reload that map config file before auto hosting each game.

The autohost command takes three arguments: !autohost

1.) is the maximum number of games to auto host.
a.) This can be less than bot_maxgames, especially if you want to leave some games open for your own use.
b.) The bot will not auto host any new games while the number of running games is or greater. The running games do not have to be auto hosted games.
2.)

is the number of players required to auto start the game.
a.) When

players have joined the game it will ensure that all players have the map and have been ping checked before starting.
b.) Spoof checks are not required when auto starting games.
3.) is the game name.
a.) The bot will automatically add a unique game number to the end of before auto hosting each game.
b.) For example if you specify “BattleShips Auto” it will create games like “BattleShips Auto #1″ and “BattleShips Auto #2″ and so on.

It will take up to 30 seconds before each game is created.
The previously loaded map config file will not be reloaded after the bot auto hosts each game.

Example usage:

!autohost 4 10 BattleShips!!!

This will auto host up to 4 games at a time, auto starting when 10 players have joined, with names like “BattleShips!!! #1″ and “BattleShips!!! #2″ and so on.

I also realized I forgot to mention that in version 10.3 I added some code to help detect a lost battle.net connection. Those of you having trouble with GHost++ getting disconnected from battle.net and not reconnecting should notice an improvement.

Mirror 2

GHost++ Version 9.2 Series

Mirror 1

The changelog:
Version 9.2
– GHost++ now creates all sockets in non blocking mode
* this fixes the bug where too many players downloading the map would cause the bot to temporarily freeze up
* this might improve game performance a little, especially when playing with people on slow connections such as dialup

– fixed a bug where the bot would sometimes send action packets that were too large which would cause Warcraft 3 to disconnect
* this bug appeared in games where lots of actions were used (e.g. tower defense maps, Uther Party, even sometimes in DotA)
* this fixes the bug where the server console would print “connection closed by remote host” for every player
– added a 15 second timeout when connecting to battle.net rather than waiting indefinitely for the connection to complete
– the virtual host player now automatically leaves the game when the 12th player joins
* this might help prevent Warcraft 3 from disconnecting due to there being too many players in the game but it’s untested
* if the player count drops below 12 again the virtual host player will automatically rejoin the game
– changed the virtual host name to a red “Admin” in the Admin Game
– when playing DotA the bot no longer kicks everyone before displaying the summary screen
* the game will remain open until the last player leaves (you can use !end to force the game to end)
* the bot considers the game time to be the time when the last player left so you won’t be considered as playing to 100% when using the !stats command unless you’re the last to leave
– added new config value bot_latency to set the default latency (you can still change this for a particular game with the !latency command)
– fixed a typo with lang_0039 in language.cfg
– added one new entry to language.cfg
