[[HostingBuddy]] is a [[WormNET]] bot developed by [[People/Glide|Glide]], [[People/CyberShadow|CyberShadow]], [[People/Byte|Byte]] and [[People/madewokherd|madewokherd]]. It can be found in #AnythingGoes, and it will host games for you when asked. When you join your game, you will be able to control and customize it using text commands.
 
  
HostingBuddy was created in late 2006, however due to a [[w:memory corruption|memory corruption]] bug it was very unstable, and crashed every few hours (and disconnecting players in all games it was hosting). It wasn't until June 2009 that the bug was finally fixed, and HostingBuddy could be considered stable.

HostingBuddy was created in late 2006, however due to a [[w:memory corruption|memory corruption]] bug it was very unstable, and crashed every few hours (and disconnecting players in all games it was hosting). It wasn't until February 2011 that the bug was finally [http://forum.team17.com/showthread.php?p=738029#post738029 fixed], and HostingBuddy could be considered stable.

As of September 15th 2009, most schemes' maps are selected and downloaded directly from WMDB. Users can load specific maps using the !wmdb command.

=== Schemes ===
HostingBuddy can host games with a great variety of schemes. A full up-to-date list of supported schemes (with some associated settings) can be found in XML format [http://proxy.worms2d.info/schemes.xml here]. Additionally, users can save and load scheme settings to the [http://wsdb.org/ Worms Scheme Database] using the '''wsdb''' commands.

=== Private Games ===
HostingBuddy can host private (passworded) games using the '''phost''' command. All players must provide a password. When the host joins, any players using a different password will be kicked.

HostingBuddy can host private (passworded) games using the '''phost''' command. All players must provide a password, including the host. The password entered by the host is what HostingBuddy will use as the game password—when the host joins, any players using a different password than what the host entered will be kicked.

(Up to Software)

HostingBuddy (or simply HB in worms terminology) is a WormNET bot developed by Glide, CyberShadow, Byte, madewokherd, Muzer, and StepS. It can be found in #AnythingGoes, and it will host games for you when asked. When you join your game, you will be able to control and customize it using text commands.

HostingBuddy was created in late 2006, however due to a memory corruption bug it was very unstable, and crashed every few hours (and disconnecting players in all games it was hosting). It wasn't until February 2011 that the bug was finally fixed, and HostingBuddy could be considered stable.

HostingBuddy discussion and announcements were originally posted in this forum thread.

HostingBuddy's source code and executable binary data are not publicly available. It is run by its authors as a public service.

Features

Maps

As of September 15th 2009, most schemes' maps are selected and downloaded directly from WMDB. Users can load specific maps using the !wmdb command.

Schemes

HostingBuddy can host games with a great variety of schemes. A full up-to-date list of supported schemes (with some associated settings) can be found here and a zip file of them all is available here. Additionally, users can save and load scheme settings to the Worms Scheme Database using the wsdb commands, or to tus-wa.com using the tusscheme command.

Private Games

HostingBuddy can host private (passworded) games using the phost command. All players must provide a password, including the host. The password entered by the host is what HostingBuddy will use as the game password—when the host joins, any players using a different password than what the host entered will be kicked.

Commands

  • All commands are prefixed with !.
  • Use help <command> to get details on a command.
  • Parameters in <angular brackets> are required, those in [square brackets] are optional. | means "or" - A|B means "A or B".
  • Commands sent by the game owner are not visible to other players.

#AnythingGoes

To send HostingBuddy a command in #AnythingGoes, type either /msg HostingBuddy command (preferred) or !command. Users of W:A 3.6.30.0 and newer can also use /hb command.

help [command]

host <scheme>
