Idea: Game Finder

[Nudl9]

First of all i wonder if this is even possible somehow.

The idea is a tool that can find the map you want to play or name of a host of a game, and when it finds a game it will play a sound.
For example that you browse down the file all your downloaded wc3 maps lies in, then you select which one you would like to play.
Then it makes you join automaticly one of the games with that map or maybe it should ping up the gamename in the program so you can select if you want to join it if theres multiple games with that map.

For finding games with the host you want, you can just type down his name in a list, then you will hear a ping.

I probably got this idea because i often want to play ToB or AoM, but cant find games, because i usually do mapping at that time, so it would be great to jsut run a program behind and suddenly i hear a ping!
Then i can just join that game easily!

nice idea, i problably(sp?) will use it if its made, since im a AoS fan and a little bit variation is nice

This should be possible since bots can copy texts somehow.
So lets say a player (like autorefresher) joins inside the game and copys gamename and leaves.
Then you get ping in program, then you can simply open it and check which game you wanna join of them.
Maybe if the program could work togheter with banlist to make some settings like only swe games.
Or simply you can just write keywords as ''only nor''.

It's not really possible considering the fact that this would have to be a really deep end project and also that it would be hard for it to find games on warcraft III since this is millions of maps and also it can't because of the host name so technically you would need some really genuine software to be able to do that most likely.

Hmm the problem with host name is easy to solve.... it just takes the hostet map name insted of the name the hoster wrote... the hard part would be how many maps there is... but that would mostly mean it would take a long time to search them, and because there always is hostet new maps it would miss many and you would have to search agian, that aint so big a problem. Some problems could be: May are cpoying names from good maps and making ugly nonworking versions of it... it would have to check if game is full, and it would have to be an extern program, which hould be able to enter you account (or somenes account) in order to search... it would only be able to search one server (northren maybe) at time. So my conclussion is.. It proably can be done, but its usefullness would be very very low. Course of the huge amount of time it would take to find the map. And then return telling the extern program to beeb. Which most of the times would mean that the game will be full before you can join. And then I am not even talking about the problems with lag.. and so

One already exists, but i'm not allowed to link such a thing, suffice to say it is a certain shadowfrench program. It runs externally and allows you to view the list, as long as wc is open and looking as well, it has filters which i don't understand how to work, and some other various things, -YOU DID NOT HEAR THIS FROM ME-

 

[RED BARON]

But it still only shows the list and filters, from one server... It cant find a specific map according to map name and auto chech if full before saying a sound allowing you to join the found map instantly... but else it sounds like it could help him....or is a start...

 

[Killer_Girl1]

Well as far as im concerned i believe it will never happen and it has no reason at all for it to happen.

Not really possible as it needs some kind of "patch" for Warcraft III. And we all know Blizzard hasn't and doesn't allow to modify their code. That's a bad thing.

 

[Dr Super Good]

It is possiable but it would still require you to be on the join game list and do nothing since it needs to query each game like a human does and then do comparsions. Overall pointless.

Man Now i'm giving out all of my secreat tips to everyone here(on this form)
What it would require to work would be lots of code form b.net !serewed file
no one has ever got the stuff but if you did it would need to look at every on screen string and pick out the name you want its not a good idea because if you wanted to play LOADssop.w3x and the server or the guy hoasing changes it to LOADS%20sop.w3x the app wounded find the map
