Messages
Shows the history of whispers you have received and sent since you loaded up
Warcraft III Banlist (You can also store the messages by ticking "Store the
messages to a file" on Preferences → Messages). Last message on bottom (as
in the game). You can customize the looks of this section using the stylesheets
available on the Preferences tab → Messages.
In Version 2.7 the channel mode has been introduced. It offers a chat
interface just like in WC3 itself. You can activate it by pressing on the little
peon button at the right bottom corner. You need to have WC3 running in
background and joined a channel.
If you want the program to start in that mode by default, you can reach this
by checking the related checkbox at Preferences -> Messaging.
Help
Displays this help document.
Q: The program doesn't do anything. I am not receiving whispers in my
Messages tab and my Recent Game tab does not show my game or the players.
A: Make sure that you have the right NIC selected. See [url=#setup]chapter 2[/url] on how to configure it.
A: Did you install the WinPCap drivers? Download them from the
* official
homepage
* A: Try toggling
"Promiscuous Mode" on Preferences → NIC Settings.
A: You can also use the diagnostic center (right hand of the NIC selection),
it will tell you what's wrong.
Q: I do receive messages, and I do see players joining in
"Recent
game", but when someone joins who is on my banlist, nothing happens!
A: Make sure to enable at least one of the alert options provided by the
program. Add a wav file to the event
"Banned player joins" or enable
the running text.
Q: Where do I input those commands you speak of?
A: Commands are used within WC3 at any chat line.
Q: Warcraft says the command I just used for managing the banlist doesn't
exist. Am I doing something wrong?
A: No, everything's fine. Warcraft always says the command is unknown
because for the battle.net server it really doesn't exist. But nevertheless the
program listens to the network stream and reacts if it finds one of the
WC3Banlist commands.
Q: This idiot has just left my game. What is the easiest way to add him to
my local banlist?
A: In Warcraft III, hit enter. Then type
"/banlast", without the
quotes. Hit enter again. You can type
"/check playername" (where
playername is the name of the person that just left) to check if he is indeed
added. If a sound is specified for the event
"Ban Sound", this will
also be played.
A: Since 2.7 it's also possible to use color substitutions instead of
nicknames. For example if you want to ban the yellow player as leaver type
"/ban $yellow leaver" Q: What means
"timed out" or
"t/o" when I try to ping
someone?
A: This means that no response was received (maybe due to a firewall that
ignores pings), so that the ping time could not be measured.
Q: I want to put someone on the global banlist. What should I do?
A: There is no global banlist. But you have the opportunity to share you
local banlist with others by using the Buddies' Banlists system.
Q: I completely lost my local database! What can I do?
A: If you use the Buddies' Banlist System, all is not lost. Go to Tools in
the Local Database tab and click on
"Restore local database".
Q: I'm on the banlist of someone. How can I get off it?
A: Depends on who banned you. The only person who can remove you is the host
who banned you. Generally speaking, if you appeal to the host
politely and ask them to remove you, they will do so without a problem. If it's an
approved host, contact them at the
* Banlist.nl forums
*via PM and they will
likely work something out.
Q: My NIC doesn't show up in the NIC selection box. What can I do?
A: Your NIC is not supported the version of WinPcap you have installed. If
there is a new version of WinPcap available, try downloading it at the
*WinPcap homepage.
*Q: When I use /fromall or /pingall the result shows up at the top of the
screen, but I want it to appear in the chat! What should I do?
A: Press Ctrl+V to paste the results into the chat line. Then just press
Return.
