Haha I was just reading a new system that SOASE (Sins of a solar empire) is employing called Alloy, and what it does is let you host without configuring your router or anything! I thought it was really neat and that if battle.net could take advantage of this system it would open a shitload of doors for them. Modding kept WC3 alive with casual gamers and i'm assuming it'll do the same for SC2, and imagine if EVERYONE could host. It would be amazing!

Anyways, later peeps!

Hmm, i wounder how it works.

When i was going to collage in idaho at byui.

There was alot of firewalls. Anyway by the time i got around them, it would run slow.

In other words i wounder how much it effects the host speed.
If its a work around then i may slow it down.

Command and Conquer games don't require ports either.

I guess it's just bLizZaRd.

Imagine if everyone could host:

  • LOAP SEX NAGA JOIN!!!
  • INDISCERNIBLE NON-ENGLISH TITLE
  • TIRED OF DOTA? TRY THIS SHITTY MAP I MADE IN A DAY
  • FORTRESS SURVIVAL SNIPER ROOM ONLY!!!
  • INDISCERNIBLE NON-ENGLISH TITLE
  • DOTA AREMDU WTF -TEST LOLOLOL
  • JOIN FOR RELATIONSHIP ADVICE
  • AWESOME LOAP AVP (NO PREDATOR)
  • INDISCERNIBLE NON-ENGLISH TITLE
  • I RENAMED A POPULAR MAP ENJOY YOUR DL
  • LOAP SPONGEBOB VERS!!!
  • INDISCERNIBLE NON-ENGLISH TITLE
  • DIAL UP ON MARS HOST!! NO LAGGERS!
  • GREEN TD ARTEMIS FOWL VERSION
  • INDISCERNIBLE NON-ENGLISH TITLE

I know that all of this happens already, but I'm sure allowing everyone to host would make it much worse. As far as I'm concerned, the people most likely to be good hosts are the ones who are able to configure their routers and/or firewalls to allow hosting.

Oh, so thats why most of the games are DotA. Only smart people can play. xD

I'd still prefer the mass of DotA games to what things would presumably be like were everyone able to host. I can imagine every other map besides DotA would be completely displaced.

Of course, playable maps are better than rigged LOAP's or map in "#

It's a cool idea (I was able to host before on my old connection, but I can't seem to get it working on my current one :() but I think TheDamien has pointed out most problems that arise, although he did forget (the occasional)
"JOIN AL NO CANCERZ"

Even though, there might be a week or two of safety (at the max :p) until the sh*t maps are, inevitably, hosted... :(

Not to off... but as much as i agree being first is important, and i am dont gona debate whos the best game like dota. but alot of it comes from how good its done, and there really arnt that many games as well done as dota.

But it would never have got there if people didnt support it. meaning the maker would have just stopped working on it.

But being first isnt the only thing that matters, is all i am saying :)

Solved by a better game list and better browsing...with map filters :eek:

I find the WC3 one very annoying.

With the new editor, Dota would possibly be surpassed. Depends on the creative minds of us mappers ;)

IceFrog will probably release a SC2 DotA ASAP.

We need to get the best coding minds that we to make something epic, that could rival DotA.
eg. Vex :D
Correct me if I'm wrong. :rolleyes:

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
