# Gen's MODDED Version of GhostOne @ http://thegenmaps.tk #
###########################################################

v1.53 (Feb 26th 2013)
	- fix !autohost (!ah) command, however bot will create an infinite number of games (even we set autohost only some games). This should be fixed but it's good like this.
	- fix !cg bnet command
	- bots now remore fakeplayers when !autohost is enabled
	- add Slots State in lobby
	- fewer checks for map download when autohost, so less spaming of Players downloading map in lobby.	
	- Update ip-to-country.csv and ips.dbs (http://software77.net updated Feb 22nd)
	- add !vk as an alias to !votekick
	- add !vs for !votestart
	- add !y for !yes
	- Command !obsplayer is disabled for TempOwner. We don't want TempOwners to mess up with the mapcfg settings by removing obsplayer, then they could pause/save game/hacks in game.
	
v1.52 (Feb 18th)
	- slot counter fix (from Neolo) is added.
	- due to the raised issues which are not clearly caused by deny patch, 127.0.0.1 & 127.0.1.1 become an exception in deny function of deny patch. This is to allow multiple LAN players to rush into your bot. Beware that you should increase max connection to your database if you are using MySQL db otherwise db can be out of order.
	- kick & ban (1 day) slow downloaders nicely at early state of their downloading progress not halfway. Blacklist is possible if bot_blacklistslowdownloader = 1, they will not be able to rejoin before the database gets refreshed for the ban to be in effect.
	- Disable TempOwners' rights to !start/n when map download is in progress.
	- Optimize TempOwner code and condition.
	- safelisted players are now ONLY immune to !votekick when in lobby, not in game (need tests!). B'cuz an unanimous decision made by votekick should work to kick even rootadmin, so safelisted players are not an exception.
	- TempOwner should not be immune to !kick commanded by admins/rootadmins.
	- Kick and Ban (2 days) to players who abuse close/open commands with their TempOwner rights. Playing with commands for your fun is restrictively not allowed.
	- !autohost (!ah) in bnet.cpp is partly fixed. Manual autohost now depends on bot_maxgames to make bot auto-create some games.
	- !unlock works to unlock game while being locked if owner joins (bot_lockgamewhenownerjoin), owner can do some commands if the lobby is locked
	- !adminlock is different, it can be used by root/admins to lock/unlock the lobby against TempOwner.
	- !from is changed to !country (!c) for the display of country solely
	- !help (!helps/!idk) command is added to help newbies players joining bots
	- !faq, !guide, !rule, !about ( bot_yourowncommand ) added for various uses to display some texts ( 15 lines max) to players.
	- add alias to !statsdota commands, alias are !dotastats, !ds
	- some minor fixes

v1.51
	=================
	Repository for decent maps storing, sharing & downloading https://decentmaps.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/
	=================
	More SECURED - more OPTIMIZED - more STURDY
	Nobody can ruin your bots.
	
	- !FF patch fixed & tested
	- Update language.cfg, fix typos
	- some parts of the code are optimized
	- Database now refreshes every 5 mins instead of every hour. So, either SQLite or MySQL db, as long as you have your bot connected to at least a bnet server, the database will work just fine.
	- Players' banned names are kept in memory for about 310s before the next usual refresh of the database. 
	THEORETICALLY, IF garena ppls can still somehow bypass the usual check on database for banned names or ips, they'll be stopped at blacklisted names which are temporarily recorded in memory for 310s. After the db refreshes, as they can't bypass by any chance, our bot clean temp memory by clearing those names to spare rooms for new blacklisted names.
	
	Changes in ghost.cfg	
	- bot_obsspecificmaps = 1, if it's commented or missing the value is returned to 1 as default, observer player just joins specific maps with maptype containing nopause. If it's = 0, observer player joins all maps, BEWARE!. OBS player is used to resume the game if being paused
	- bot_obsplayername = NameYourOBSPlayer here.
	- same concept with bot_autobangameendmins, now you have bot_autowarngameendmins to autowarn if needed, players leaving before x mins of the gameover time gets warn, it's up to you to define how many warns are worth a ban.
	
	More commands in lobby: 
	- !obsplayer to add/remove observer player
	- !clearblname/!clearblacklistedname/!clearblacklistname
	- !delblacklistname <name, partial name>
	- !delblname/!delblacklistesname are alias to !delblacklistname

v1.50
	=================
	Repository for decent maps storing, sharing & downloading https://decentmaps.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/
	=================
	
	- fix !pubg, now hosting on garena only works fine
	- fix previous commit about AdminCheck, now working very well
	
	Changes in ghost.cfg:
	- as !pubg is fixed, bot_garenaonly is a new added key variable
	bot_garenaonly = 0 (disable as default & recommended for your bot to host games
	on both Lan + bnet servers), set it = 1 if you wish your bot to host only via
	Lan, but the ban system still relies on a bnet connection to work fine. There
	must be some other way around to check ban list without having to connect to
	bnet but Gen hasn't succeeded in coding it.
	- auto spoofcheck + admin spoofcheck are now on, admin must be joining on a correct
	server to have access to admin commands. This is managed in database.
	- blacklist specific names + blacklist slow downloader are now possible with
	bot_blacklistednames & bot_blacklistslowdownloader, they can't join if
	blacklisted. bot_blacklistslowdownloader works with bot_kickifdownloadrate.
	Slow downloaders are added into bot_blacklistednames in current instance of
	running bot.
	Slow downloaders will be able to rejoin after 1-day ban if
	(bot_blacklistslowdownloader = 0 or bot is reset/restarted).

v1.49
	=================
	Repository for decent maps storing, sharing & downloading https://decentmaps.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/
	=================
	- deny_extension = 600000 (it's default value in case of missing in ghost.cfg) is added into ghost.cfg
	high deny count will now count up to 25 instead of 20
	deny_extension can take any value >=120000 miliseconds(2 mins), if you put it < 120000, the system will make it to 900000 (=15 mins).
	Deny extension is always needed to deny on join the malicious players / bot players (= who are attempting to wreck your bot). Yet if you have any problem with deny extension, just set bot_denypatchonjoin = 0, then deny on join will be disabled
	- Msg will be printed in ghostlog clearly to state what IP is under effect and for how the deny extension is in effect.
	- Russian.cfg is added, feel free to check and give feedback with new file to correct mistakes in current release of Russian.cfg
v1.48
	=================
	Repository for decent maps storing, sharing & downloading https://decentmaps.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/
	=================
	- language.cfg suits you better if you want to localize the bot with your own language
	- new TOOL: Gen TEST on BroadCast Port with bot_broadcastport & bot_useportotherthan6112 added into
	Remark: new TOOL is only for users who are really used to the hosting program
			It's not recommended for newbie users
	- set bot_logreduction = 1 in ghost.cfg if you want to reduce the length of your ghostlog
	- With ghost.cfg setting, now you can make the bot to kick if player has download rate is smaller than X kb/s, set it = 0 to disable
		bot_kickifdownloadrate = 15 (15kb/s, this is to discard ppls with slow internet connection)
	Kicked player will be banned for 1 day.
			
v1.47
    =================
	Repository for decent maps storing, sharing & downloading https://decentmaps.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/
	=================
    - bot_rehostchar = $ is added to ghost.cfg as for your choice on which char ($,#,or others), bot will be using to print when rehosting, e.g. GameName $32
    - Replay files are now named with version, as you may wish to run a bot for 1.24e. So you'll recognize which replays were made on 1.26 and 1.24
	# bot kick if player has download rate is smaller than 15 kb/s, set it = 0 to disable
		bot_kickifdownloadrate = 15

v 1.46
	=================
	Repository for decent maps storing, sharing & downloading https://decentmaps.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/
	=================
	- TempOwner patch is once again nailed, an unlimited number of TempOwners is possible with bot_tempownerinlobby = 2
	
	GHOSTCFG add-ons:
	- bot_disableunhost & bot_adminscanunhost are to restrictedly allow only listed admins to be able to unhost
	- bot_adminsonlan, whether to enable(default) admin players to do admin commands on LAN
	- bot_disallowdelmapbyroot & bot_disallowdlmapbyroot whether to allow rootadmins to use !delmap & !dlmap (always allow by default or =0), forbid those commands if (=1)
	- bot_neverdlmapfromepicwar & bot_onlydlmapfromhive, whether to allow map download from a source like epicwar or only Hive & https://decentmaps.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/, = 1 to enable, = 0 to disable (default)
	
	- IMPORTANT FIX: BAN CHECK is corrected for LAN & LAN ppls won't be kicked by mistake
	- some security fixes & other fixes	

v 1.45
	=================
	- add bot_replayssavedbyname to ghostcfg (see changes in ghostcfg & add bot_replayssavedbyname = 1 to ghostcfg)
	- it's possible to enable bot should name replays file by GameName first instead
	of Ghost++ as prefix by setting bot_replayssavedbyname = 1
	
BETA VERSION 1.4b4
	=================
	v1.44
	- fix incorrect submit about GameName in r64 (v1.43), GameName should be
	correctly mapcfg like before
	- fix the same incorrect find_first_of when naming replay file
	- new ELO system (uakf.b's system) for DotA games supported
	
BETA VERSION 1.4b3
	=================
	- friend command is added to bnet.cpp, it's useful when you want your bot adds/removes some friend to the friend list
	Payload for friend command should be [add|remove|list] or [a|r|l]
		/w urbotname .friend a NAME
		/w urbotname !friend r NAME
		/w urbotname ,friend list
		(.,! is upon your bot_commandtrigger)
	- as replay issue was fixed in previous version, this release commits to name the replay files correctly, so that they can be opened
	- replay files should NOT have special chars: ï,€,$,etc.
	- bot_bnetnonadmincommands added to ghost.cfg to define what non-admin commands can be allowed.
	- bot_invalidreplaychars added to ghost.cfg to define what chars are invalid and should be removed when naming the replay file

	- command !help, !helps added
	- added m_Stats to command !ff

	- map_type having dota will no longer trigger anti-parser tool(anti-save, anti-trade,etc.)
	To have the tool on, e.g. set map_type = dota guard
	
VERSION 1.4
  =================

  Adds:
    - bot_invalidtriggers to define the invalid chars for announcement: wrong command trigger.
	- bot_lobbyleaverbantime is added to ghostcfg to set timer for the BAN of leavers in lobby
	- bot_viettxt variable added to whether print a Vietnamese text in BAN announcement
  Nailed:
	- fakeplayers patch is once again nailed
	- bot_morefakeplayersinlobby variable is added to ghost.cfg to give the option for your choice of more fps in lobby
	- you can also add "morefps1" or "morefps2" to map_type for that purpose for specific maps
	- e.g. map_type = ward morefps2
	- fakeplayers' NAMES should be less than 14 chars in fpnames.txt, without this file the bot can't work for fakeplayers adding
  Fixes:
  Hopefully fix the issue about "startadvex3 failed", 
  configuring ghostcfg correctly the bot will have no more disconnection from official bnet servers
	- RefreshHack in ghostcfg:
		For the bot that host on official bnet servers:
		bot_mapgametype = 0; bot_refreshduration = 180 is the normal GhostOne refresh
			Try to change only 1 of them at a time for testing as if you wish to improve the refresh.
			OR just set it to normal GhostOne refresh for that bot.
		For a bot of yours that doesn't host on official bnet servers, 
			bot_mapgametype = 21569664 and bot_refreshduration = 0 is the best option
	- GameName in refresh will no longer exceed 31 chars, with apple icon, you should name the mapcfg within 24 chars max.
	without apple icon, 28 chars max. (11) is not counted, no worry.
	- bot refreshes GameName with $ instead of #
	- IF GameName has more than 28 chars, bot shall not add +3,+2,+1 for the vacant slots when refreshing
	- currentgames(cgames/!cg) command is fixed, no more spamming on eurobattle.net server 
	which caused the bot to be kicked by the server's anti-spam control
  Changes:
    - Filter SEND_W3GS_PLAYERINFO packet in gameprotocol.cpp for tracking possible error.
	- To prevent error with SEND_W3GS_PLAYERINFO packet, fakeplayers' names will be nailed automatically if exceed 14 chars,
	they should be 14 chars max.
	- PREVIOUS CHANGES ARE APPLIED in this v1.4

  Added:
	- !currentgames/!cgames/!cg command to display the games being hosted by the bot, just whisper /w botname !cg
	- !realm (for admins only) to check what realm ppls are on in the lobby (probably works in game too).
	- add refreshdelay variable to be able to disable the refreshduration, 
	bot_refreshduration = 180 or bigger number in ghost.cfg will disable the refreshhack, 
	normal gametime refresh (GetTime( ) - m_CreationTime) applied
  Changes:
	- fix version in language.cfg
	- add 1 ip (79.141.174.186|DE=from Germany) to the ipbanlist as his attempts to attack the bot with multiple names but failed & detected by deny patch

BETA VERSION 1.3b3
  =================
    
  - bot no longer spams 30000 milisecond, connection close texts heavily
  - allow multiple modes in map_type, for examples: map_type = 2teams guard, map_type = ward 2teams, map_type = noteam ward, map_type = noteam guard
  - fix: command autostart by temporary owner is working in accordance with bot_startgamewhenatleastXplayers
  - fix: text printed to 1 player instead of all players in lobby when requesting to start game but the lobby has less than bot_startgamewhenatleastXplayers value.
  - bot_startgamewhenatleastXplayers = 4. Temp owner will be disallowed to start game when <4 ppls in lobby. You can set it to other number for your liking.
  go command will still work to start game in most cases.
  - df command is fixed.

    mrotate doesn't seem to work well and results in autorehostdelay bug (people can't see the host after rehosting #2 #3) when testing.

    # notes for latest revision
    bnet.cpp code is rolled-back to original.
    ghost.exe works
    mrotate works
    GhostOne hooking works fine.
