I'm not anl expert on it psy. Just about everything I know about ghost bot, which isn't much, I put here in this topic or else made a link to another place whre I posted it. I'm hoping that by doing that some one else can fine tune it so that I don't have to. The next step for me is going to be to try and let people download maps from my hard drive. I've got ghost bot going in lordaeron channel clan bt now and often if you want to check it out I can show you what it does. Also I need to figure out if and how I can run it with banlist.
ghost bot is like a super hero hoster. it makes regular bnet hosters seem like puny weaklings. some things that I know about it and are cool are:
I only have 512 ram and a normal cable modem yet i can host lots of games at once while i play with no more lag than normal for all the games. I've only tried 3 at once so far but haven't had a lag issue. With only 1 set of CD keys I can host lots of games in one realm and then play in other realms but not host in other realms.
If i type in, "!announce 5 So-and-so is a big gay!!!" then every 5 seconds in the game lobby ghost bot will say, "So-and-so is a big gay!!!" ROFL!
I can type, "!swap x y" to swap players in slot x and y in the game lobby
I can type, "!sp" to shuffle around all the players in the game lobby
**edit** i'll check btanks856.cfg's posted here and see if they help me solve my dl problem. ty for posting them horselance and markardar
When i'm in lan mode i can type in "!password xxxx" and then "!getgames" and it'll show me how many games are being hosted by ghost bot at the moment. If I type in "!getgame 1 to 5" then it'll show that game name, the game creator, my ping to him, and the number of players in the game.
I can see any text chatted in the games qweqbot is hosting and chat to the players with !saygames xxx..." but the chat will look like the game creater is saying it. I think i can only see what they say in ALL chat though. I can also see what's being said in clan bt when qweqbot is not busy creating a game and it keeps the clan channel open for me but i can't type to anyone there.
I can make anyone an admin I want to. Right now there are about 100 admins for qweqbot who can use it to host games.
Ghost bot spoofchecks by type /whois joinedplayernam. it pings them 3 times before it will let them play in the game. it lets you know the longest, shortest, and your own load time with a message on your screen right after the map loads. You can set the highest latency that ghost bot will allow players to have for all the games it hosts in the ghost.cfg file.
There is a lot of other cool stuff it can do which I'm still learning about.

Why's the rothchild family crest and the illuminati symbol on my 1 dollar bill? Why do rich and powerful American "christian" leaders have gay sex and worship a giant 40 foot stone owl at Beach Grove every year? Why doesn't anyone care?
