Multiple War3 on bnet

1. Create a copy of your war3 directory while not playing war3. You'll want to save it in perhaps the root war3 folder where "C:\WarCraft3\War1\" is your original and "C:\WarCraft3\War2\" is your second one
2. Follow previous steps to get both warcraft 3's running at once and in windowed mode
3. Start up both warcraft 3's in windowed mode
4. Set desiered gateway in first war3 then login to bnet.
5. Do the same with second war3, but change gateway to a different one (can't run multiple war3's on bnet in same gateway unless different CD key)

Right, but this tutorial was inspired by THAT very tutorial not working for me. Plus, this is a different method.

Edit: And my way doesn't really require any mods. Just a simple thing that tricks the war3 into not knowing its running twice.

Awesome. Other people have had issues with the other tutorial as well, I'll be sure to link them to this if that question ever arises again.

Approved. Also, I went ahead and changed the color red to one of the allowed colors (see the stickies for more info).

Thanks, good deal. Also thanks for the info.

It worked to an extent for me. I could open two wc3 instances, but I could not open local area network on the second one, so it turned out completely pointless.

It might be worth noting that you need to run the program as an admin too.

IT's true, you cannot LAN this way. I'm sorry. Its only good through bnet.

Edit: An it's not completely pointless, you can test features of your map through bot hosting.
