Hello.
I'd like to introduce you to some changes related to our bots and stats system that are going to take place soon. We've been working on the new bots and stats system for a while now, the current bot/stats system has been completely revamped. If you care to test the changes check the post below. The changes on the new bots include:
New ways to create a gameGames are still created by whispering playdota.eu bot (/w playdota.eu !gopub <game name>) in the same way, we only added a few commands.
| !gopub, !pub | creates public ladder DotA game |
| !gopriv, !priv | creates private ladder DotA game |
| !goprivobs, !privobs | creates private ladder DotA game with observers (can't be rehosted to public game) |
| |
| .dota | creates public custom DotA game (uses ladder DotA map) |
| .dotaobs | creates public custom DotA game with observers (uses ladder DotA map) |
| |
| .map | loads custom map |
| .gopub, .pub | creates public custom game (map loaded with .map) |
| .gopriv, .priv | creates private custom game (map loaded with .map) |
- Ladder games
Games created with first group of commands from above will be saved into ladder (
www.playdota.eu/stats/ladder) and will affect your ingame stats (!sd).
- Custom DotA games
Games created with .dota/.dotaobs are custom games that use ladder DotA map. The difference between these and other custom games is that DotA stats/events will be parsed from the game, and chatlog and gameinfo stats page will contain data about who killed whom, what hero you played, how much creeps/neutrals/denies you had, etc.
- Custom games
Loading custom maps and hosting custom games remains the same, except that now these games will be saved and visible in the stats website (
http://playdota.eu/stats/games/custom). So if you break any global pd.eu rules in custom games like flame/spam you could end up getting a ban.
Custom games and custom DotA games won't be saved into ladder and won't affect your ladder stats (!sd), ladder rules and autoban don't apply in these games.
GProxyEnabled GProxy++ support.
You can now reconnect into the playdota.eu game after you get disconnected, download GProxy and get more info how to use it here:
http://playdota.eu/forum/index.php/topic,55632.0.htmlAutoban and game scoringResult of a game can be win/lose or a draw. Team won the game if they destroyed the tree/throne or if opposing team forfeited. Game result is a draw, meaning noone won the game, when vote remake passes or when the game is ruined by leavers.
If the game result is a draw game won't affect your ladder stats.
Game result will be a draw if player leaves before 5 minutes DotA time.
Game result will be a draw if player leaves a 4vs4 match.
After one side of any base has been pushed and destroyed game won't result in a draw, any team is allowed to finish the game even if number of players drops to 5vs3, 4vs3 or lower.
!banlast/!bl command has been removed. Players, including hosts, now get autobanned when they leave the game.
If you leave before the tree/throne has been destroyed you risk getting autobanned.
Player that left will get autobanned if he left 5vs5, 5vs4 or 4vs4 match.
Player will never get autobanned for leaving a match with 5vs3, 4vs3 or lower number of players.
Autoban durations start from 2 to 30 days depending on how many times you left before.
When a player gets autobanned he will receive negative score even if game resulted in a draw or his team won.
You are never required to leave the game.
For example if someone leaves in the first 5 minutes, you can stay in the game and play till the finish (tree/throne destroyed), but the game result will still be a draw because player left so early.
!autoban command can be used at any time of the game to find out whether you will get autobanned if you leave.
Game modes and new rating systemLadder games can't be hosted with any DotA mode anymore.
Allowed modes are -ap, -ar, -rd, -sd, -cd, -cm, -sp and -em.
Ladder games can't be started without picking a DotA game mode in the lobby. This will eliminate -test/-wtf bot abuse and will enable players to check whether host is really going to host the game mode he advertised in the game name.
Before you use !start to start the game you must first use
!mode to set the game mode (ie: !mode rd).
We made a new relative rating system based on ELO,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elo_rating_systemCurrent score value has been replaced by PSR which stands for "player skill rating". Every player with no games starts at 1500 PSR, then you lose/gain rating as you lose/win games.
If you are inactive and not playing any ladder games for a while your PSR will start to decay automatically and you will lose position in the ladder.
All game modes except -em will give you the same PSR gain. -em game gives less information about players skill, so PSR gains from -em game are a lot less than non -em game.
The new system takes into account who are you playing with, who are you playing against and whether you won or lost the game.
Example:
You stack your team with pro players in sentinel against noobs in scourge.
If sentinel wins, players from sentinel will get low or no rating increase to their PSR.
If scourge wins, players from scourge will get high rating increase to their PSR.
You can check how it works in more detail online with game simulators below or join a game and test it.
http://playdota.eu/forum/index.php/page,game_simulator.htmlhttp://playdota.eu/forum/index.php/page,game_simulator_em.htmlNew commands related to PSR:
| !min <PSR> | kick players with PSR lower than <PSR> |
| !max <PSR> | kick players with PSR greater than <PSR> |
| !balance | balances the lobby slots based on players PSR |
| !rating, !r, !psr [name] | display your PSR, optionally add [name] to display PSR for another player |
| !ratings, !rs | display each team chances to win |
| !rankall, !rateall, !rall | display PSR for all players |
Other bot changes- Added
!forfeit/
!ff command:
You can !ff the game after 25 minutes DotA time, this will prevent unnecessary prolongations of the games where one team is obviously winning. Vote from every team member is needed to forfeit the game, so if there's 5 players in the team you need 5 !ff votes to forfeit the game.
After game is forfeited to opposing team game will end and you can leave, opposing team gets a win and your team gets a loss.
- Increased lobby count down time to real 5 seconds, it starts from 10, 9, ..., this should give you enough time to leave the game if you don't want to play.
- !mute command has been removed.
You can now stop spammers/flamers or w/e individually with a set of !ignore commands.
| !ignore <name> | stop receiving chat messages from a player (it tries to do a partial match) |
| !ignorelist | displays a list of players you are ignoring and a list of players ignoring you |
| !unignore <name> | start receiving chat messages from a player that you previously !ignored (it tries to do a partial match) |
- !rmk/!checkban commands are not spamable anymore.
- !statsdota/!sd - removed 5 seconds block, you can now check stats faster.
- !kick command is now enabled in lobby.
- !owner command has been fixed, when host leaves first player that uses !owner will become the new game owner.
- Bot will now save stats for your hero only if you're in the game.
In other words, if you DC at 20 minutes bot will remember what items/kills/creeps/etc. you had when you DCed and will save that to your ladder(!sd) stats. Your teammates won't be able to feed with your hero and increase your deaths or any other stat in the stats anymore.
- Added support for !hcl command for custom games and !hcl/!mode command for ladder games.
- Other bug fixes and command improvements that i forgot to mention.
New stats websiteMade a new stats website,
http://playdota.eu/statsAll those replay missing bugs, hero missing, items missing, no chat log, etc. bugs should be fixed now.
