[Tool] Garena HostBot v6.0 - for Garena Plus - with League Mode

[GarenaHack-er View Profile Find User's Posts Find User's Threads PM User E-Mail User]

This is the 6'th host bot made for Garena and the 1'st for the new Garena Plus, and it's the first (of many) that can be used to host multiple games at once. It's based of course on Varlock's program Ghost++ and on GhostOne ( http://www.codelain.com/ ) but it's adapted only for Garena. It retains many of the original Ghost commands plus other specific for Garena. It has commands like !levels to show player levels, it can put restrictions on this (just like on countries) and it shows real player countries.
This doesn't work with old Garena Client, cause it hooks garena_room.exe (not garena.exe).

It's very very simple to use, just a Start and Stop button. It creates a game, you join it and play.

Why use a hostbot ?

• Host multiple games at once from the same PC !
• Play easier with your friends ! Add them to safelist (so they can always join your game, even if it's full), make them admins like you, hold slot for them and many more !
• Total control over your game ! (ability to kick << on vote >>, mute, swap, ban players)
• Keep detailed statistics about your Dota games, game players, bans etc. with a MySql database and a interface like Dota OpenStats
• Ability to control the game latency !
• Ability to auto-save games when someone is disconnected, and later resume them
• And many many more
  

How to upgrade from older versions to v6.0 ? (and keep the banlist)
In your old garena hostbot installed directory there's a file called "ghost.dbs". In that file the bans are stored. After installing Garena HostBot v6.0 copy that file to the installation directory. Note that all the bans, admins etc must have the server set to "Garena" if the version is older then 5.0, go to Database tab and hit "Run Query" then run these one at a time:

Spoiler:

Code:

Update admins SET server="Garena";
Update bans SET server="Garena";
Update games SET server="Garena";
Update safelist SET server="Garena";
Update scores SET server="Garena";

Then verify using the command !countbans to see if they work, you need first to restart GHB to apply changes.


Changelog:

• added option to host multiple games at once, League Mode, you always have a lobby game and as many running games as your hardware allows you
• all in-game text is now found in the language file (language.cfg) and can be edited
• added support for languages: Portuguese, Romanian, Russian and Vietnamese. To change language go to "Language" directory and read the simple instructions there.
• added commands for multiple games like getgame, getgames, getname, enable, disable, saygame, saygames
• GHB 6.0 is much faster and stable then the old version(s) (map search for banlist, replays are not saved at game end anymore when it lagged for 2-3 seconds, ip-to-country is loaded much faster, latency uses now timeGetTime() which is more accurate then the old one used GetTickCount() and some others...)
• fixed many bugs and made some performance tweaking
• forced StormLib to open all MPQ's as V1 only (defeats some map protection schemes) now GHB can host many protected maps
• many other tweaks and visual style modification
  

Note. You can view or edit your bans, the admins or the safelist players easy by going to the "Database" tab and then clock "Open database". Then select a table (admins, bans or safelisted) and view or make your changes.

Don't forget to RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR !
On the first run of Garena HostBot v6.0 you need to configure the Admin Name in configurator, then click "Auto Configure" (you may need to do it 2 times...) the set up the Garena Path in Options, then Exit and start again.
All Garena HostBot settings are found in the file called ghost.cfg. Open it with notepad and take a look cause it's as user friendly as possible (every setting is commented).

Virus Scan: VirusTotal

For the program to work you need to have these installed on your PC (install them if the program doesn't work):

• Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0 Redistributable Package
• Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package
• Visual Basic 6.0 run-time files
  
  

Simple, easy to config, then Start -> Stop

[Common Problem] You can join your game but others can't see it !
You need to check if your ports 6112 to 6119 are opened or forwarded (more exactly the bot_hostport which is default 6113). There's a utility that checks if your ports are opened: PortForward.com - Free Help Setting up Your Router or Firewall , if they're closed Garena Host Bot won't work. If you have a router find out how to forward your ports on that site.

[Guide] If you or other players have trouble joining your game (or cannot see it, join it etc) read this guide: [How To] Fix game joining issues.
[Guide] A list of error codes that you may have and fixes are available here: [ALL] Error Codes - GHost++ and BNLS - they are both for Ghost++ but they apply to GHB


If you got a question or problem create a post in the Garena HostBot forum section ! Post a screenshot (from the hostbot or w3) or the hostbot log too !

Good job man ;D

[Maaf11 View Profile Find User's Posts Find User's Threads PM User E-Mail User]

This command doesn't work !sd

---

Doesn't work only on the administrator... Pls fixed

---

Also the line doesn't work hcl...

The boat doesn't take fashions from the game name if only you will not climb in a config and won't establish there fashions by default

[GarenaHack-er View Profile Find User's Posts Find User's Threads PM User E-Mail User]

Google translate isn't that great.... What I've understood is that !sd doesn't work... I've just tested the command with admin and non-admin and it works... Non-admin command has a 5 sec timer (you can issue another one after 5 sec). Does anyone else have problem with !sd command?

And bot_autohclfromgamename doesn't work I guess... I'll check on it...

[away111 View Profile Find User's Posts Find User's Threads PM User E-Mail User]

!sd or !statsdota is not working for players.... only to admins... (need a section to change what commands are public and what are private.... and change de coms )

[vaguiners View Profile Find User's Posts Find User's Threads PM User E-Mail User]

@GarenaHack-er

lang_0522 = $USER$ resumed the game.

She is showing only the id, the name does not show.
And I think you missed the message that warns about the pause

Hello , I've just tested the command !sd with a non-admin and it works ... it shows correctly the dota stats and it does a partial match to check a player, if not it checks the exact string that you used... Did you made any settings or does anyone else has this problem ??

I removed the message saying paused the game and it shows the id of the player, I'll fix this np
