[FIXED]!"Warcraft 3 On Battle.Net"

MarinvHs · 2007-10-19 23:47:29

Hi, I installed Warcraft 3 : Reign Of Chaos and Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne, using wine.

Then, I downloaded the patch to version 1.21 and installed it also, with wine.

Now , I can't play on Battle.net, I've tried many times...it just says

"Initiating connection to Battle.net" and stays like this for more than 3 minutes...

if this is usefull, this is the info shown in my ~/.wine/user.reg file in [Software\\Blizzard Entertainment\\Warcraft III] 1192835475

"InstallPath"="C:\\Program Files\\Warcraft III"
"InstallPathX"="C:\\Program Files\\Warcraft III"
"Program"="C:\\Program Files\\Warcraft III\\Warcraft III.exe"
"ProgramX"="C:\\Program Files\\Warcraft III\\Frozen Throne.exe"
"War3CD"="D:\\"
"War3XCD"="D:\\"

If anyone has the solution, or any suggestion, a line to add, any tip please answer.

Wine versions 0.9.46 and 0.9.47 have broken Battle.net support for War 3
You should you 0.9.45 if you wish to enjoy battle.net (like myself)
Here is the PKGBUILD that I used to build wine 0.9.45:

# Custom wine PKGBUILD by Dheart.
pkgname=wine
pkgver=0.9.45
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Emulator of the Windows 3.x and Win32 APIs"
url="http://www.winehq.com"
arch=('i686')
license=('LGPL')
depends=('freetype2' 'fontconfig' 'libjpeg' 'libungif' 'alsa-lib' 'glut' 'libldap' 'libxslt' 'lcms' 'libxxf86dga' 'freeglut' \
         'libxinerama' 'libxcursor' 'libxrandr' 'libxrender' 'libxdamage')
makedepends=('alsa-lib' 'sane' 'fontforge' 'flex' 'bison')
install=(wine.install)
source=(http://easynews.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/wine/wine-$pkgver.tar.bz2)
md5sums=('feecc3ccb4639b672d8446154a4fb700')

build() {
  cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
  ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --enable-opengl --with-x
  make depend || return 1
  make || return 1
  make prefix=$startdir/pkg/usr install || return 1
  mkdir -p $startdir/pkg/etc/wine
}

Copy/paste it issue makepkg and then Pacman -U the .pkg.tar.gz file.

P.S. I don't know when the wine team are going to fix the issue... There are several patches proposed by the community, but not even one seams to fully fix the problem (in fact most of them don't work, a few let you connect to battle.net, but you can't join a game... So It's better to use the old wine.

It says "==> ERROR : install scriptlet (wine.install) does not exist"

Where do I get wine.install

There you go... forgot to paste that too.

Now I get this error

 makepkg
==> Making package: wine 0.9.45-1 (Sun Oct 21 17:05:14 BRT 2007)
==> Checking Runtime Dependencies...
==> Checking Buildtime Dependencies...

   -> fontforge
   -> flex

my PKGBUILD file is in /var/abs/local/wine45, together with wine.install file

Umm... Duh... You are missing dependencies...

pacman -Sy sane fontforge flex bison

Then you should be able to build it.

MarinvHs · 2007-10-22 01:05:30

I got this after I did "makepkg" and waited like 3 minutes:

...........
config.status: executing dlls/user32/resources commands
config.status: executing dlls/wineps.drv/data commands
config.status: executing include/wine commands

Configure finished.  Do 'make depend && make' to compile Wine.

PKGBUILD: line 19: make: command not found
==> ERROR: Build Failed.  Aborting...

And when I tried pacman:

[root@myhost abs]# pacman -U wine-0.9.45.tar.bz2
loading package data... 

error: failed to add target 'wine-0.9.45.tar.bz2' (package name is not valid)

Sorry for all the noob questions, but Im beggining with Arch

Install make as well.

Further more, pacman installs arch packages which are .pkg.tar.gz and not just .tar.gz (or .tar.bz2)! That's just wine's sources you was trying to install.

Oh ok, I was just following the tips since the first answer, and it said to use pacman -U
I found it weird aswell, I'll try your tip now, thanks!!

MarinvHs · 2007-10-22 20:00:00
