PLEASE
NOTE: THIS WILL NOT ENABLE THE USE OF BATTLE.NET SERVERS WITHOUT OWNERSHIP
OF AN LEGALLY PURCHASED CD KEY!!! ALSO NOTE THAT THE INFORMATION SUPPLIED WITHIN IS NOT SUPPORTED IN ANY WAY BY BLIZZARD ENTERTAINMENT OR ITS EMPLOYEES. |
Please make sure to follow these steps *EXACTLY* to increase chances of successful multiplayer setup. This guide is intended for person(s) who own the game, want to use a unofficial patch to enable it to play without cd thereby denying correct cycle redundency checks (crc's) to battle.net and/or for people who want to play on custom game servers.
Things you will need before you can use this guide are:
1. The original Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos CD.
2. The latest patch for Warcraft III from www.blizzard.com.
3. The special replacement ax loader file (depends on whether you plan on playing on PvPGN or BNetD server type).
4. Any No-CD patch if you require game to run without CD.
5. A Gateway editor.
6. Some patience and concentration :P
Installation:
Firstly, install a clean copy of Warcraft 3 (Default directory is C:\Program Files\Warcraft III\ . You may also install to another location of your choice. I will now in future refer to this directory as the "War3 dir"). After you installed the game, update to the latest version of the game (see no.2 above). Then, if you plan on using a No-CD patch, rename the "war3.exe" file to "war3.org" (This file will be used for checksums when connecting to any battle.net server), and copy the "cracked" "war3.exe" file to the war3 dir. Then, rename the file "blizzard.ax" (also in war3 dir) to blizzards.ax and copy the modified ax file (which at this point should be named blizzard.ax) to the war3 dir. Finally add either "-pvpgn" or "-bnetd" (depending on server type, which you can find out by asking the admin of the server) command line parameter to the "warcraft III.exe" shortcut.
Warcraft III is now ready to play. All that required doing now is to add the name and address of the game server (if it is a custom server not on the default list) with the special gateway editor application. You may now play Warcraft III online. Enjoy.
