Heroes of Newerth - client commands to create games

hon.md

Prerequisites - not covered here

To host games you need the server running locally and have forwarded port 11235 from your router. See instructions here: https://github.com/honserver/honserver

• Press ctrl + f8 to open the console
• Type connect 127.0.0.1. You should see the server output indicating you have connected
• Type one of the following startgame commands to launch the game
• Once the lobby has loaded have other people connect to your public IP address - e.g. connect [public IP address]. You can find your public IP from typing "what is my IP" into google.
• It is best to restart the server between games. There are lots of niggly things that can happen such as:
  • Other people being considered the "host" even though they can't start games if they don't disconnect from the game in time.
  • If the game hasn't completed typing connect 127.0.0.1 will reconnect you to the game rather than allowing you to start a new one
  • The server can get confused and think you're already running games which then doesn't let you start a new one

Start Forest of Caldavar

startgame local_automatic GTFO map:caldavar

Start Forest of Caldavar with no respawn timer

startgame local_automatic 'GTFO_Lives_On' map:caldavar norespawntimer:true

Start Grimms Crossing

startgame local_automatic 'GTFO_Lives_On' map:grimmscrossing norespawntimer:true

Start midwars - this is messy and can likely be tidied up but works

startgame local_automatic server name mode:normal Server map:midwars

Note: This is all pick, not the classic banning pick that Midwars used. Work in progress.
