[HOSTING]Suspicion

[Penguin]

I'm having trouble hosting cheated maps. Usually because most of the cheated maps I host are made by some guy with a forum, and they keep their updates regularly. Most of the time, to get a cheated map in circulation, I'll host a "DL ONLY! CIVILIZATION WARS!" and go afk with an autorefresher on. However, I return to see someone had come in with a bot and was spamming "THIS IS A HACKED VERSION! DO NOT DOWNLOAD". How can I host a cheated map without raising suspicion in the minds of the regulars, who only download from the site?

As far as I know you can't do anything....

You have to do so sth to attract others to DL.

For instance you could fool people by telling the its a Beta leaked Version

IE: change tha map version from 1.1 to 1.2

OR 1.1 to 1.1b. that should trick somebody.

I've done some really tricky stuff, trust me it doesn't fool the ones that are "updated" with the map...

[GeorgeMots]

Yea, i know but that ok.

Besides, not all guys get the latest version of Dota through getdota.com

They just dl it when you re hosting a game.

Or at least thats happen when i host

I usually just host the map with a [Hacked] at the end. ^^

I don't ever have problems hosting any cheated map (by me at least), unless that map is DotA.

I usually always fake a version ahead or around on my versions, sometimes I even spread them on bnet... but really I don't get anything like that to happen often.


I spose someone could invent some kind of 'auto kick' system to boot people saying 'FAKE' 'HACKED' etc lol

Use Island Defense as an example...
