This does not apply to Bnet 2.0, so SC2 people please ignore. ENTgaming.#1 This is just a short guide that I'm writing up for the wonderful people in the Let's Play~!! thread, explaining how to configure Windows Firewall and open port 6112 so you can host Custom Games on Battlenet.Public games in connection with these also much faster. TL DR, people don't need to do the things in the tutorial to host anymore as it's much easier to host before. The link to the GHost bot information is also outdated and links to a pretty bad site: is popular for Warcraft 3 Hacking and Cheating - it's disgusting that they willingly publicize that stuff imo. Personal GHost bots work to a point but aren't recommended as they fill slower unless supported by MMH. Hosting across multiple servers helps connect WC3 communities more and fill multiple times faster.Ģ. Hosting via forwarding ports these makes it very difficult for a lobby to fill and it doesn't cross server host. It doesn't have to be semi complicated at all.ġ. But hosting in these two ways haven't been recommended by the general community for the past 3 years. Not saying it's badly written - it's very informative. I think this tutorial is very obsolete and misleading for hosting. Most of these programs can be found here on Hive workshop at the Tools section ( )Īs for GHost here is a full guide on how to set it up:įound a problem? Got stuck at any part of the tutorial? Send me a PM or ask for further help on our website dedicated to computing, Link: Site The best tool for hosting is GHost, it has autorefresh, banlist, autohosting, kick, votekick, ban, warn, mute, and much, much more basically all you can imagine to host a game. You might also want to get yourself a banlist, which allows you to ban players, so they cannot join your games. It is recommended that you get a Autorefresh tool instead. Refresh brings your game back to the front page. You need to refresh the game every maximum 30 seconds, you do this by closing and opening slots. If you are unable to find the problem, then post a reply here and I will try to help. Wait for a few minutes, if nothing then you might want to read the tutorial and see if you did something wrong. Now it's time to go test if you can host games! I suggest hosting a game of DotA as you'll find out the fastest if people can join. So after this save the changes and exit the site. The picture shows that I've portforwarded all ports from 6112 to 6119, you can also just portforward 6112 alone!Īfter you are done, apply the changes and if you have to, put the application to be used by you (mine for example, needs to be applied for a certain user that will use this application). After you find your page it would look somehow like this (note that pages look very different!):įollow the picture to put the correct values: In my case it's Toolbox, then Games & Application sharing, and then Create a new Game or Application. Once you managed to enter your ISP website, we have to find the place where we can portforward, usually it's something called a Toolbox or Games & Application sharing, Portforwarding, etc. You should've got all information on a paper when you ordered the internet. If none of these work, then ask your ISP (your Internet Service Provider). So now if it asks you for Username & Password, the default is admin, admin. Now use the Default Gateway that you got from the last step and open up internet explorer, or another web browser and type Default_Gateway so in my case it's 192.168.1.254 I suggest you to write these two numbers down somewhere or else you can remember them. Now notice the fields Default Gateway and IP Address. Now type into the console that appeared ipconfig. Now after we port forward, it's like we'd open the door with the only key that can unlock the door, and now the customer can talk to you (join you) and so now you can host games on Warcraft III.įirst of all, let's begin by going to start > all programs > accessories > Command Prompt (cmd) (or simply start > run > cmd). He must enter the garage in order to talk to you (let's pretend the host can't hear you otherwise and that the customer can't break the door), so if the door is closed, the customer cannot talk to you (join you) since the door (port) is closed. You can think of this like a door: Let's say you are selling something, and someone wants to buy your object from you. In order for you to be able to host, you must open a port for the computers to connect to you and therefore being able to join your games. Detailed Guide on Hosting in Warcraft III
