Clean & wholesome warcraft 3 discussion

blk_jack

Just wanted to start a topic where we stay clear of technical issues (including the most recent announcement regarding you know what), and getting the game to work with WineX (See THIS LINK for details on -that-). So on that note...

Just got wc3 today and have been rocking battle/net a few times since. So far my record is 3-1, the 3 being wins. However I'm not exactly the greatest at the game. My first win was a fluke due to the person quitting as soon as the game started, although my last two have been enjoyable battles in which I did destroy my opponent.

So I ask you people who do play on battle/net - how are you doing, do you enjoy the multiplayer and differences from Starcraft/wc2/etc, AND do you have any tips or something else of your own to add?

Yea that's pretty much what I've been reading. Strategies and checking out replays. I think replays are some of the coolest things they've added to the game. (I never played starcraft or diablo so I dunno if they're in that).

Can somenone explain how to install warcraft3 under Gentoo?

Please tell us how you got it working. It would be nice if someone could post a step by step guide ;-)

1) Install WineX
2) Install Warcraft3

If you're looking for specifics on each you might want to 1) Goto the WineX site and search for Warcraft 3 and/or install instructions. Or 2) Goto the blizzard site and look up how to install wc3.

The cdrim is not found while the installation progress.

Have you tried copy files direct of the cd to verify theres no errors on the disk?? sounds like theres media errors if it's canning itself after youve managed to get that far.....

Cheers

Yeah, I have copied all files on the disk. And tried to install from disk. The same error message.

I have read so many threads in this forum, but nobody had this problem too.

yeap , it's a good game alright , wierd that the installer stops at the same place every time ,the only thing I can think of at this stage is a difference between ,cvs/ebuild and the bin, that is causing the crash ....

Cheers
