RtC

[Malhorne]

I wanted to know how to know what exactly is RtC.
Then how to use it.
Thanks everyone who will answer me :3

Its basically a hack that adds some new natives to wc3. The problem is that you have to hack warcraft 3 too in order to play RtC maps, thats why nobody uses it.
Really not worth using it, except for making a singleplayer map.

This here is an old post, but its straight from the developers.

Here's from the hive.

EDIT: Looks like muzzle already gave the best answer. Thanks.

 

[Malhorne]

There isn't a way to recreate such a tool for 1.26 without too much hacking :/ ?
And there is a way to create our own natives with C++ or I dreamed ?

 

[chobibo]

If blizzard decides to give away the source...

 

[Malhorne]

Hum okay xD

 

[chobibo]

You could put together a team and write an opensource engine for warcraft 3, Just like OpenMW. (morrowind) Good luck Malhorne.

 

[Malhorne]

What's OpenMW ?
Anyway I don't think I have the knowledge at all to do such a thing...
But I though I could use it if it allows even more

If you just want to work on RtC, you could downgrade with a patch version switcher and wait for TriggerHappy to make it work on the current patch, IIRC, he is trying to contact the developers of RtC to get the source of RtC. He might be able to update it so you could practice on 1.24 while waiting for that to happen.

 

[Malhorne]

Why not
Thanks chobibo
What is the best 1.24 for RtC ?

 

[chobibo]

Try 1.24b

 

[Malhorne]

Okay
I'll test it later.
When I'll read the manual and more.

Its basically a hack that adds some new natives to wc3. The problem is that you have to hack warcraft 3 too in order to play RtC maps, thats why nobody uses it.

Not really.

It's a 'hack' that lets you create your own natives, it's not a native pack..
And what do you mean the problem is you have to "hack" wc3 to play the maps, it's already done for you! lol. And nobody uses it because it doesn't work on the current patch.

There isn't a way to recreate such a tool for 1.26 without too much hacking :/ ?

No, lol.

Also, here's the correct RtC thread;

Aw fuck, TriggerHappy is correct, I gave the wrong link sorry dude.

TriggerHappy's gonna be mad nao!

 

[Malhorne]

Ok thanks TriggerHappy.
So to sum up this : this allows you to create natives.
This works only on 1.24 and which 1.24 ?

 

[TriggerHappy]

I use 1.24.4.6387, I'm not sure which letter that is.

 

[Malhorne]

Ok thanks I'll search if I got the time this evening.

 

[chobibo]

*Bomber drops package*
Package
It reads: Release Patch 1.24e (1.24.4.6387) for warcraft III.
Achievement Unlocked!
Googling Bastard!

 

[Malhorne]

Okay thanks

 

[muzzel]

And what do you mean the problem is you have to "hack" wc3 to play the maps, it's already done for you! lol. And nobody uses it because it doesn't work on the current patch.

Sure you dont have to write the hack yourself, but you have to apply it yourself / start the hacked wc3 version. And that _IS_ the reason nobody uses it, since you cannot just host your map in battlenet and players can join. They all have to download and start the hacked wc3 version in order to play your map. And that just doesnt work out (you can do it with some friends, but not viable for public games).

Even in 1.24 where RtC worked nobody used it.

 

[TriggerHappy]

Even in 1.24 where RtC worked nobody used it.

The patch wasn't around that long lol

 

[Malhorne]

Yes you're right on that one.
Do I have to hack war3 too ?

 

[chobibo]

The launcher does that for you.

 

[TriggerHappy]

I'm doing some work on updating it for patch 1.26a, hopefully I can upload it today.

Basically I didn't realize I could change the addresses in a config file.

 

[Malhorne]

You manage to upload this to 1.26 :O ?

 

[TriggerHappy]

Not yet.

For some reason it would crash for me on patch 1.26, but then I manually downloaded the patch from b.net, and it doesn't crash anymore.
But it can't load the custom natives because the addresses are wrong, but RtC comes with a config file to change the addresses yourself.

If I manage to fix it I will upload it, but for now I haven't.

 

[Malhorne]

Tell me if you manage to do so
I'll be glad to create custom natives like this !!
It could just be so fucking awesome !

 

[chobibo]

@TriggerHappy How do you look for addresses? I'd love to help.

 

[TriggerHappy]

I'm using CheatEngine.

 

[Malhorne]

Anyway good luck to you

 

[chobibo]

Okay, I'll try.

EDIT: Is this the file? haha, I dunno where to start lol, I'll just provide moral support lol.
