Host bots

[UncleVasya]

Dota bot:

• create dota lobby;
• get ids of players in slots;
• !balance command:
  • check if all players are present in DB;
  • balance teams, write result in lobby chat;
• !start command to launch lobby;
  • check that teams are made according to balancer output;

---

Discord bot:

• paste balance result in chat after dota bot balanced teams;
• !lobby command to show current lobby info;
• !invite command to invite user to current lobby;
• react with emote on lobby info to get invited (thanks sbx320 for the idea);

---

Hosting:

• setup bots on openshift;

---

Future:

• bind several dota accounts to our player account;
• if unresgistered player joins lobby and has his MMR shown, we can add him to DB right away;
• managing several lobbies with discord bot:
  • !invite 1, !invite 2 etc;
• !balance 3 to show and set specific balance answer;
• after !balance command:
  • bot kicks players from wrong slots;
  • don't allow players to join slots on the wrong team;

Approach without lobby commands:

• balance as soon as 10 players join slots;
• start as soon as people joined correct slots;
• if balanced players leave lobby or join broadcaster slots, reset balance;

Looks like grabing match result is perfectly possible for host bot:
Arcana/node-dota2#240

Commands users ask for:

• !teamkick;

[UncleVasya]
