Me and some folk have been looking to back up the different language versions of Warcraft III classic, but three in particular have proven hard, which were Japanese, Czech, and Chinese (Simplified), these are also *installers*, not regular patch files, but more like when you get a link like
WAR3&locale=en-US&os=WIN
as opposed to this
http://ftp.blizzard.com/pub/war3x/patches/pc/War3TFT_127b_English.exe
That sort, to get the legacy installer, the thing is, this does NOT work for the three missing languages in particular, even cross referencing Language codes and looking into the mpq game config files for languages, none of that works and throws up an error message (while putting pl PL will get the Polish install), Wayback machine was no help either.
Even editing the main mpq file to change the language code won't work, you can patch it to a new language that way, but that'll only patch the *text* (and I don't remember if it even gets all of it), not the voices, those'll still be whatever the old language was.
I'm asking was there *ever* language installer style exes for these three languages? I'm looking to back up what I can and finding these has proven nearly impossible, even finding existence of these hasn't been easy.
