Force host for parties

[PD 2]

Is there such a thing? Can I force host if I'm the party leader?

I have looked all over this site and nothing showed up, so don't tell me that I did not look in the hacks section.

Thanks in advance,
PD.

There isn't such hack

Problem is, host selection is server-sided. If you use a standard force hoster with a party, you can be sure that one of your party members will be host, but it's not certain that it will be you.

Yea, already tried it out, but the one with the best connection of your party will be host ... Too bad

I wonder if there's a way to tell the game you have a better internet connection than everyone else on the lobby...

It may sounds stupid but I did try to change the value of your ping. Of course it didn't work cause, I suppose, I didn't have the correct value. But there is a way to show your ping as text. With it maybe you will be able to change ping value and make the game always you the host, extreme lags or nothing at all.

To show ping as text (Pointer):

Read hex value of BE2DEC and add C

Change Final Result to 1 (4 Bytes, Decimal)

It also looks into your amount of quits, etc etc ... So yea ...

Ah, thanks for the answer, guys! Anyway, if launching the force-host allows AT LEAST one of the party members to be the host, then that's good enough for me to know. Always thought it wouldn't work at all.
