A bot as a player ?

[Troll-Brain]

Is it possible to simulate a player in a local area network game, with only one machine(computer) ?
I ask it because sometimes, computer slots are not enough for my tests.
For example i can't trade gold/wood if there is not at least 2 players (myself included).
It's annoying to ask someone else just for quick tests.

I don't care if the bot has not ia at all, and does nothing, if only wc3 consider it as a player, then it's fine.

not that I know off...
you can't add a fake player in games...

you could use messages to see if trading is happening between players...
or I could help you test it online if you need...

Hmm, if it's true, then it's sad.

There is no event for that, i'm making a custom one.
Anyway, that's clearly not the point of this topic.

Well, it's nice and all, but obviously you can't be as available as i want.

You could use something like VMWare Player or Virtual Box PUEL to eumlate Windows XP, copy your installation of WC3 onto it and then link up in LAN using the host only network card on the VM/VB or using the NAT card and that will connect it to your Internet as though its a nother computer.

Hmm, installing a whole virtual machine just for that seems overkilled, it's the only one way ?

actually, you can add a fake player in game. but like its been said already, host bots are pretty much the only way.

My GHOST ONE bot, simply type .fakeplayer and it adds a user named fakeplayer into the game, but other then that, no way sorry.

But you can use it also in a local area network, not only battle.net ?
Also could you give a link to get this bot plz ?

Only problem, you need 2 cd key sets.

basically it works as a seperate warcraft window, that can host for you online, mainly used in dota to keep track of your scores.

It might be different since u only want it on LAN, u might just need a second ckey, even off the net, one that doesnt have to work on battle.net.

Im assuming you can host aswell btw

 

[Troll-Brain]

No i can't host.
Meh i need to fix my router i guess so.

Thx for the help.
