Servers that store heroes/characters

Ok, I don't get it... How do you have a server that stores your characters...? Are you talking about the b.net server, useast, uswest and that stuff? I'd really like to know.

I dont think that is possible, but if you are referring to the 'Gauntlet' And 'Legacies' maps, They are "Stored" Through a trigger that is some sort of equation that equals Level, Agility, Strength, Intelligence, Gold, Wood, Etc.

Not a bnet server... not anything thats built into the warcraft 3 game, it's technically unrelated. Your probably talking about the server idea in use by Dark Crescent MOD. An external program saves information about your character to a file server and then loads the information into the game when the game is loaded again.
It's not part of the game, you need an external program and a server to do something like that, and I don't know enough about it to teach you

Actually i believe thats the way 'legacies' works, but thats not how guantlet works. Guantlet actually has a server that stores information. I dont know specifically how either works, but I believe legacies uses a "code" or long string that is deciphered. However, for those of you who played gauntlet as it became more and more popular might have noticed the numbers were getting longer every time you save. 10000, 100000, 1000000, 10000000, 100000000 etc. He's just incrementing the number used to track your hero as you save. I would LOVE to know how he made a server for that, and made a map that worked with it though.

Yes, the external kind. But hmm, I'd really like to know how to do this. Guess I'll have to learn myself. Thx for the info.

Legacies doesn't use an equation, and gauntlet uses a much simpler method of an equation based on exp, no servers or externals involved in either case.
