HOW TO PLAY WC3 FT 1.19 without nocd crack update!

[Ryleh]

Alright, this is rather complicated so bear with me.

First, you need your wc3 ft installation to be patched to 1.18a and have the nocd war3.exe in place.

You also need the orginal uncracked war3.exe that was patched to 1.18a but won't obviously work because it wants a valid cd before it will launch.


Name the uncracked 1.18a war3.exe fez.exe, then put it in the warcraft 3 ft folder with all the other files.

Now you make two batch files.

Name the first batch file wc3.bat

the following text needs to be inside it:

cd\
cd "C:\Program Files\Warcraft III"
start war3.exe
rename war3.exe pie.exe
rename fez.exe war3.exe
exit

Make sure to change the target directory to wherever you have your warcraft installed at so it finds it if it is not in your c drive or whatever.

Now the second batch file needs to be named wc3reset.bat

Put the following text inside it:

cd\
cd "C:\Program Files\Warcraft III"
rename war3.exe fez.exe
rename pie.exe war3.exe
exit


Once again change the target directory to wherever you have your wc3 installed at.


Now run the first batch, it should pop you into game, then logon to b.net, dl the 1.19 patch, and boom it will install it without giving you any errors :P

Then all you have to do is run the wc3reset batch, the run the wc3 batch to pop into 1.19 and play.

Just remember after exiting the game to run the wc3reset batch to reset the file names and there you have it.

Enjoy.

-Edit and addendum:

Make sure the two .bat files are also in the warcraft 3 folder.

This patch upgrades Warcraft III The Frozen Throne from version 1.18 to version 1.19.

Registry error loading key 'Warcraft III\InstallPath'
Das System kann die angegebene Datei nicht finden.


RESULT: Patch failed


Didn´t work. After downloading the patch, I couldn´t install the patch. "An error occured during patch process ..."

any suggestions ?

[Ryleh]

You must have not done the batch files correctly. You will only get a patch error if it is trying to patch over the hacked nocd .exe.

Basically, the batch file runs the hacked 1.18a no cd .exe, then right after it passes the checksum to go ahead and run, it quickly changes the name of the nocd .exe and then takes the uncracked legit .exe and puts it in its place name wise. That way when it patches it will hit the right .exe and you wont get an error.

Capiche?

[jan09]

the batch files weren´t the problem. There was no registry entry for wc3. that occured the error message. unfortunately, I installed the stand allone patch and now I need a cracked war3.exe. or is it possible to downgrade to 1.18 again ?

You can download 1.19 NoCd Crack there --> http://rapidshare.de/files/5302730/War3TFT_119_NO_CD_Release.zip.html

This Line means that u didnt install ur Warcraft into C:\program files

Im 100% sure its on D:... Heeehhe

GOto RUN
Type REGEDIT HKEY_CURRENT_USER>>>>>>SOFTWARE>>>BLIZZARD ENTERTAINMENT>>>>>Warcraft III

No as u can see in the right panel of the window... All the path there is on C: not in the Drive where u installed warcraft.. U can simply edit it by right clicking and puting the right drive

Much easier.. Cut your warcraft folder and paste it on C:\Program Files

Reason for this error is simply the system cannot find the instalation path because its not there..Get it?

[skinyme]

ok ok this is odd but i backed mine up with nero and works fine????

[xjapan_88]

hei man i tried the exact same thing u said.
after i plaed the first bat file and dl the patch from b.net, it says that war3.exe file and world editor cannot be patched.

prob its due to the incomplete patch.
can u give me a link to the correct patch that has everything?
thx man

btw, y is this version of patch so diff?
