Good Autorefresh bot ?

[DieKralle]

3ICE do you have a good autorefresh bot for me ? and no I don't want to download Ghost++
I just need a good autorefresh bot that doesn't have a virus in it or something that messes with my computer. I had my experiences with that...
I can open a lobby by myself without a bot, I just need something to refresh the lobby.

Visual custom kick is the one tool I've always been using. http://www.3ice.hu/blog/autorefresh-pc-mac/

Edit: With the new patches recently released many things might not work yet. Seriously the latest patch even wiped exe's like "frozen throne.exe" from the install directory, so any memory injectors and custom launchers are definitely broken. At least I'm fairly certain. I do believe war3.exe is still the core executable though. But TFT and RoC are mixed up now with both using Warcraft III.exe to launch.

Uhhhh... both links you put for the VCK lead to websites that are not safe or contain some sort of scam or virus. Please update the links. Maybe it is just for me like that...

[3ICE]

No those websites are down permanently. Probably just domain parked, but could be malicious. Either way, VCK won't work with the current patch.

Edit: Checked both, simple domain parking. No virus there. Just stupid scare tactics from over eager protection software... What antivirus / web security suite are you using?

[DieKralle]

Avast but I checked the links again and they are working again. Do you have a download link for VCK (Non virus)

[3ICE]

There's no point.

Either way, VCK won't work with the current patch.

Understood. Will they even fix this ?

[3ICE]

Probably not. Abandoned website => author has moved on.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help. I use Ghost++ which as it happens has almost completely killed manual hosting. Even with refreshing, people just won't find your lobby in the storm of spam. Dozens of empty, deserted bot lobbies, all refreshed faster than normal humans could. Push any legitimate host off the list.

It's true, but I wonder why in WoW 3 Reign of Chaos are less lobbys than before...

This constant patching affects host bots as well. Developers can't keep up.

Edit: Also a lot of people didn't figure out yet the button for switching back to RoC.
