Banjoball

[NY_Mets]

Link to map (or load code if it's on the public hosting bot): http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/maps ... -a-218858/
Slot layout if applicable (for example, if some slots need to be closed): 4v4, close bottom two slots on each team.
Number of players until autostart: 8
Problems with map (like cheats and such), if any: None.
Why the map should be autohosted: It's an excellent new map with a consistent & growing community of around 50-100 players on USEast (including communities in Asia and Europe.) We play many in-house games every night with people from Clan FEAR, NHL, GotE, Bang, and Done (All are Banjoball Clans.) We want to help grow the game and we're sure a banjoball autohost bot would be popular.

@ny_mets

Updates on map popularity plz.

Wat type of game is this?

[NY_Mets]

@nabo.
It's continuing to grow, particularly on USEast server. I think the game would be very popular on autohost because we have so many players in the community that often newer players are left out of in-house games. As such, they could get a chance to play on autohosted games.

The map is a 4v4 sports map. It's basically fast-paced soccer with spells.

Here are a few gameplay videos to give you an idea:

I've played it a few times some months ago, it was fun and always filled fast.

After playing the map today, I must say it is quite addictive. Fast paced, fun, team play, short (not too short); overall an extremely fun map. I highly recommend this for auto host!

Pros:
- Fun
- Fast paced
- Reasonable game time
- Team play
- Multiple "soccer field" terrains to choose from
- Various characters with their own unique ability

Cons:
- If red is absent at start, rmk is required
- Map bugs here and there (happened once), where game wouldn't start

@ny_mets

Do u know about people experiencing fatal error if they join a game after a game of banjo ball?

Im suspecting fatal errors due to the chef hat...or may b something else?

Aside from few fatal errors ive seen my friends experience, the game itself looks fun, competitive, and potential to be popular with the ENT community.

@nabo.
I've played a ton of games and never seen that problem before. Are you sure you were playing the latest version (1.13)?

Ya it happened with few of my mates including me. Fatal error while playing dota. A restart after a game of banjo seems to fix the problem i think.

I seen that problem in few maps, i will tell creator of map to fix this problem. And yes @nabo restarting game helps.

I wish I could reproduce the problem, I'd be able to fix it then. Since Wc3 keeps some of the data from previously played map, I assume it'd be something imported that causes the problem.
I'll look into it.

@garfield1337

Found the problem?

I could get crash.txt error reports from the wc3 if tat helps.

[Garfield1337]

1.15 update might have fixed the problem. I can't know for sure since I can't reproduce it.
