Warcraft 3: No CD Error

Hey there everyone.

I'm quite new to Arch Linux but it seems to be really cool. smile
But now I'm stuck with a problem: I want to play Warcraft 3 using wine. It worked fine for me with other distros like Ubuntu or Zenwalk (Slackware based). But now, all the time the "no cd error" appears. And I dont know what to do. Since I've experienced this error quite often I first looked at my wine configuration.
But there is an entry for /dev/dvd (my dvd-drive) and it's also marked as "CD-Rom"-drive.

Then I thought it has something to do, that my CD isn't mounted correctly so I installed autofs. But it doesn't change.
It's correctly mounted and I can access the files but when I run "wine Frozen Throne.exe -opengl" it raises that error..

Thanks for help.

Oh and I use wine 0.9.50.

Re: Warcraft 3: No CD Error

Hey.  I'm surprised you say you could get it to work with other distributions.  In my case, I've always had to use either Cedega or a no-cd crack in order to get it working.  I suggest you use the second option. smile

 Make sure you have Warcraft III installed properly.

ERROR 1: Could not find Warcraft III directory.

 Make sure you have Warcraft III installed properly.

That's what I get when I run "wine Frozen\ Throne.exe" after I copied the files from the folder. I receive the same when I try to run "wine Install.exe" which seems to be an Installer for the No-CD and Battle.net Crack.
The No-Cd Crack without battle.net support ran anyway..

Re: Warcraft 3: No CD Error

Well, to run W3 you don't need the CD (YES, YOU DON'T NEED IT), you only need to patch war3.exe with the NOCD crack.

If you play on battle.net and you don't want to use CD, there is a shellscript to do that:

#!/bin/bash
#Script made by iphitus
wine war3.exe &> /dev/null &
pid=$!
sleep 10
mv war3.exe war3.cracked
mv war3.orig war3.exe
wait $pid
mv war3.exe war3.orig
mv war3.cracked war3.exe

You have to place the original war3.exe on the same folder, but renamed as war3.orig, and use the cracked war3.exe.

If you want to use "wine Frozen\ Throne.exe" or the same for ROC, just keep WarcraftIII.exe and Frozen Throne.exe files in their original version, and have on the folder the cracked war.exe.

In summary: YOU ONLY NEED TO PATCH war3.exe smile

Enjoy!

Re: Warcraft 3: No CD Error

Copy protection is working in wine... you just need to add yourself to the optical group.
