Private Games

[Quetra]

It seems like when I host a private game using ENT Link it still shows up in the Games list on this website, meaning people are still able to copy the game name down and join who I haven't given the gamename to. It shouldn't be listed there, but it is.

Private games are listed on the 2nd row section of the https://entgaming.net/forum/games.php list.

Private games will not show up on the filter list on bnet. However, yes, people can join if they know the gamename. This is normal.

You are able to kick people as the "host" if you dont want them + rechange the name as you see fit using the commands !pub [name] or !priv [name]. Any problems?

Well it just defeats the purpose of having a 'private' game if the game is not actually private because people I don't know can still join it. I know I can kick them, but its a bit rude and doesn't change the fact that private games are not actually private because the game can be viewed in your game list. What is the idea behind listing them even if they are private? If I made the game private I obviously don't want people I don't know to be able to join.

Best solution I can give you is to make a name that people will not join, but only your friends. You can kick whomever. We do not care. You are the host. We only regulate autohosted games, unless someone mhs in your private game and you report.

The "private" games are mainly for ENT users to host a non-autohosted map(s) to play with friends and others. You could call it non-autohosted public or private service.

Moreover, certain users from other platforms like garena or euroserver are able to join certain private hosted games. Therefore, the list exists for them also.

You are using our bots, so making it totally private makes less sense. If you really wish to make a private private game, you can host one yourself. I do not see how it is a problem to kick people, let your friends join, then start the game with your desired group. You may close certain amount of slots and try the !hold [name] function if that helps.
