Install Guide

Since a lot of people are having some issues installing, i decided to do this guide.

1. Download file one from this thread.
2. Extract RtC v0.10b.exe somewhere and run it, it's a self-extracting archive so it will ask for a path.
3. Type in the location you desire, for example "C:\", it's independent of wc3, so anywhere you'd like will work.
4. When you create a map, you have to import the "common.j" file included, to enable the natives. Should be imported to "scripts\common.j"

The application you'll probably want to use are:

• RtC.exe - this one will start Warcraft III with RCN and WarSoc automatically injected. It will also check if your war3.exe is corrupted and will attempt to fix it if you allow it to.
• RtCLaucher.exe - an automatic launcher for RtC, it list all maps in a specific directory (default is Maps) and allow you to automatically run warcraft and load the selected map.
• RtCInstall.exe - a tool to ease adding common.j to a map, just find your map, select the APIs, press Install and a generated common.j should be added automatically.

Might be a very short guide, but really, that's all there is to it.

Sorry for a 20 day (something like that) bump... But it says:

Invalid Link Specified.

Could ya fix that?

Thanks.

Fixed :)

It says: 'Could not find war3err.dll'

What does that mean?

It's a problem with the release, war3err needs to be enabled.
See this post for a solution.

lol, do all the extra options like 'No limits' work? without lag? and btw i heard there would be a no-player limit but i don't see anything of that yet.. maybe to come later? Anyways keep going guys this is great =D

Well the "no limits" thing has very little to do with this project, it's not a part of RtC.
It comes with Jass NewGen along with some others. Our project is just custom natives.

The player limit will not work in a manner that you can suddenly use more than 12 slots. It will instead be a single player game with a completely customized internet package manipulation.
But no, it's not quite finished yet.

Ok, so i just downloaded and extracted to desktop and whatnot...but what do I do with the folder? It has tons of files in it and stuff...I tried to run the RtCInstall...I selected a map but it froze my computer...then the RtCLauncher did nothing..so I selected the regular RtC.exe file; all it did was open Warcraft...I dont see anything special about this...

> I dont see anything special about this
You're not supposed to. Try playing the demo map inside the Maps folder (move it to your Warcraft's Maps folder first) and you'll see.
It is rather odd that RtCLauncher doesn't work. Do you get an error message or something? Which OS do you use? Try delete RtCLauncher.ini and then run it again.

Im using Windows Xp. And also, i deleted my whole file and redownloaded. Everything works now. I tried the demo map and it was really awesome, but what exactly is RtC supposed to do? I mean..you upload maps to it and you can host them from there, but no one can join? What exactly are planning to do with this?

Okay. First of all: Hi All! I am totally new here, hope that you will welcome me well. :)

Well.. being pretty new, i dont know how to use this probably. I saw the clip on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5t9NWViPrE and i quickly got from there to here. I want to do the same as in the video.

1: Is this all i need??

Okay.. i Downloaded the program, and installed it in a folder of its own in my warcraft directory. I think its correctly installed. I got 1.21b version of Warcraft, and it is'nt cracked.
Well.. I cant open any maps with the program! I first opened The RTC-launcher. I added "Goblins in Space" to my maps as i read i should on this site.. I just cant open it! Not with normal Warcraft nor the RTC-program. When i click "Start Game" it just do nothing..
i can open any other map with the RTC-program, but there is no difference of opening them in Warcraft 3 or in the RTC-program.
Everytime i add the Common.J file to any map using the RTC-Launcher, it wont open anymore.. (though i havent tried with blizzard maps, only with my own quick-made maps)

2: Whats wrong??

Okay.. And one more thing: I think there is a problem with closing the program. (Both the world editor and the RTC-program) When i close the program and sooner opening it again, it says that it is already running. (And i just closed it..) The only way solving this is to restart the PC.

3: How to fix this?? xD

Hoped you understand my problem.. It got a bit messed up.

Take a look at this post, might have some answers to your problems :)

>When you create a map, you have to import the "common.j" file included, to enable the natives. Should be imported to "scripts\common.j"
Is it possible to import it in an allready created map or do I have to remake it?

You can import it into an already created map. :)

Umm Im just gonna point out that i did get rtc to run somewhat on my linux server

i used Wine and Mono-Porject to get it to work and it seemed to work best if compiled from scratch onto your articture (mac peeople that means you need GCC)
