Hi, Here's how to get Warcraft 3 running under wine: 1. Use the latest wine cvs. Only that will work. 2. Mount the CD, and run install.exe on the CD with the winver set to win98 under config. (even though 95/98 are exactly the same when playing the game--i hate that) You should disable the ide-scsi thing because it seems to cause problems =( 3. Close the install program. Go to the directory where war3 is installed. mv the Movies folder to Movies backup. The game tries to display a movie clip on start in the retail, and it hangs wine =( 4. Download the NoCD patch for Warcraft 3 v1.00 (I don't know if 1.01 is out yet) at www.gamecopyworld.com. mv war3.exe and worldedit.exe to backup names. Copy in the patched program exe's. You may now run War3 if you wish. Warcraft 3 uses Safedisc v2. With this patch it will bypass it. Run war3 with the command "wine war3.exe -- -opengl". 5. To login battle.net, you need to bypass the exe check. With the patched version of the game, it won't work. So what I did to get it to work is moved the patched exe's to something like "war3_patched.exe" and create a symbolic link "war3.exe" that links to it. Start the game "war3.exe". To login to battle.net, open bash console. Change to the war3 directory, and reset the symbolic link to the original war3 exe, let it sleep 5 seconds, and then reset the symbolic link back to the patched version. While it's sleeping, you need to login into battle.net immediately. This is what I did to get D2 battle.net to work under wine. It should work for war3. You need to be the same version as battle.net for it to work though. (currently only 1.00 is availible for linux, and battle.net is 1.01) 6. To patch the game, you need to get the standalone patches. Set your symbolic link to the real exe's, and patch away =) The beta in contrast worked perfectly. The retail has a couple problems =(. The advantages I find running War3 under linux/wine/opengl, are higher framerates than on both real windows, and winex. And no graphics errors in comparison to winex d3d8, and no sound problems like under real windows. My three button mouse also works unlike windows. All these advantages =) Jesse

Hmm. Sounds suspiciously like the Baldur's Gate movie problem. -- Rob Browning rlb @defaultvalue.org, @linuxdevel.com, and @debian.org Previously @cs.utexas.edu GPG=1C58 8B2C FB5E 3F64 EA5C 64AE 78FE E5FE F0CB A0AD
Hmm. Sounds suspiciously like the Baldur's Gate movie problem.
Warcraft 3 uses Divx for it's movies. If Baldur's Gate uses it as well, then it definately related. Because War3 uses Divx (http://www.divx.com), it might be easy to debug because I think it's open source. I might as well try fixing it. Another thing that's interesting to me, like nearly a year ago, I would guess, I and a couple other people were asking blizzard to release their trailers in a better format than quicktime. Most people in the forums would say quicktime was the best, and we would say, "have you ever heard of divx?" We suggested divx because of superior compression and quality. (And for me, it works in linux =) And a couple weeks later, they rerelease a bunch of trailers under divx, and announced they licensed it. Even on their website they list for the divx trailers "PC/Linux" which is a big deal for me =) And they like it so much they use it in their latest game. Maybe this is another reason I got the beta =) (and another thing, open the first page of the game manual, it lists they use divx, Freetype 2.0, and zlib. No wonder it works so well under linux. Maybe one of these days they will use SDL ? =) Jesse

Not sure -- cd1's moviecd1.bif claims in the first chunk of the file that it's an "Interplay MVE File", whatever that is, and the first bytes claim BIFFV1.

All the movies in the "Movies" directory have extension .mpq, but they are just avi files with divx5 video. but instead of normal "DIVX" fourcc code, they use "BLZ0", but mplayer plays it fine once tweaked for the different fourcc.

ps -ef |grep wine to see if it has gone to debugger (winedbg). if so, you should put "Desktop" = "640x480" or so to see what happened. ___________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? -- Une adresse @yahoo.fr gratuite et en français ! Yahoo! Mail : http://fr.mail.yahoo.com

This is fixed in the WineHQ CVS tree. You just need to wait for the patch to do the WineHQ => ReWind => WineX path (as it's X11 licensed) :-) Or you can also apply the patch yourself to your CVS WineX tree. Lionel -- Lionel Ulmer - http://www.bbrox.org/

It is? I don't think it said so in http://www.winehq.com/hypermail/wine-patches/2002/06/0041.html, and Jesse Allen isn't registered as X11-friendly yet... which is among the reasons why it hasn't taken that route yet.

i finally made warcraft III working : 1. rename the Movies folder as Jesse Allen did. 2. get winex from cvs, then patch srcs with http://www.winehq.com/hypermail/wine-patches/2002/06/0041.html 3. configure wine using ./configure --enable-opengl ..., then build it. 4. run warcraft using : wine /path/War3.exe ( the -opengl doesn't work for me) 5. enjoy ! -- m.f.

I followed your procedures, X crashed when I started to run it. It said ".... deadlock ..." Any idea? Thanks. Leanne

Hi, I don't know what's going on with the current WineX, I can't get it to work. I got an old version that I used with the beta back in March to work. Getting the latest WineX to work seems to be much harder than Wine. Try my How To under "Warcraft III" in the application db found at http://appdb.codeweavers.com except remember this before running install.exe: copy a native msvcrt.dll into your wine installation. Example destination location: ~/c/windows/system If you don't copy that in install.exe will fail like people have been complaining about giving this error message: fixme:msvcrt:__CxxFrameHandler (0x40481e98,0x405959b0,0x40481b20,0x040481ab0):stub?...(repeated) Luckily, people seem to be trying to fix this kind of problem for wine so in the future, you won't need this native dll. I can't believe I missed this part. I thought it wasn't needed because I cleaned out my wine install setting up War3 retail to find out the exact steps. I copied this dll to my home directory thinking it was outside the windows/system path, and would purposely not load... come to find today... I see this F:/msvcrt.dll in some logs!!! doh it was loading it all along. I tried running install.exe without, and discovered what people been talking about. I hope people can get running now, because wine War3 does work very well. =) Jesse

~/.wine/config: ... [Version] "Windows" = "win2k" ... Doesn't work. In fact, this doesn't help, irrespective of the version I set it to. Where else can I set the Windoze version ? I managed to get War3 to work using winex: http://www.transgaming.com/showthread.php?msg=11638&forum=6&thread=11638 Hope this helps, and thanks for the help.
