War3Loader

Allows you to quickly install and run Warcraft 3 files on Mac OS X.
Useful for quickly viewing replays, testing maps, etc.

This was mostly made to help me mod spells a bit easier and to watch friends'
replays easily. I figure it may be of use to other mac-users.​


Installation

  • Extract the file from the ZIP.
    132502-albums6802-picture74633.png
  • Copy "War3Loader.app" and put it in "Applications".

Usage

  • Right-click the map or replay that you want to open, and then select "Open with". War3Loader may already be there, if not choose "Other…" and find "War3Loader".

  • You'll have three options:

    (1) Run as Load<Type>.ext - This will install the file as a "temporary file" in the proper folder, titled "Load<Type>.ext" (such as LoadReplay.w3g, or LoadMap.w3x). The next time you run War3Loader with this option, it'll overwrite that file (this will prevent downloaded maps from cluttering your folder too much, or it'll be useful to quickly test spells/systems that you may not want to keep). Then it will run the file in Warcraft III (default test map settings).

    (2) Install and Run - This will install the file in the proper folder (see below), retaining its name (and replacing any existing files under the same name). Then it will run the file in Warcraft III (default test map settings).

    (3) Install Only - This will just place the file in the proper folder, retaining its name and replacing any existing files under the same name.
"Proper Folders":

  • Warcraft III Map: "~/Maps/Scenario"
  • Warcraft III Expansion Map: "~/Maps/FrozenThrone/Scenario"
  • Warcraft III Replay: "~/Replays"
  • Warcraft III Campaign: "~/Campaign"

FAQ

  • I get an error "Could not find Warcraft III folder".
    The app only checks for "/Applications/Warcraft III" or "/Applications/Warcraft III Folder". If you have it in another location or under a different name, then you must edit the source with your path (see below). If you need help, just contact me.
  • I can't open a campaign.
    The Warcraft III app can't run campaigns like that. It can still install it though.
  • One of my maps were overwritten. How do I get the old one back?
    Check your Trash folder. The files are not deleted permanently, just moved to the trash.
  • Nothing happens when I right-click the app, it just closes.
    You aren't supposed to run the app stand alone. See "Usage" and run it that way. It will only work if a file is passed to it.
  • I get a different error.
    Contact me.

Source

The source is open-source, and written in neat user-friendly AppleScript. To view/edit it, just go to the War3Loader.app, right click it, and select Show Package Contents. Navigate through Contents/Resources/Scripts/main.scpt. Open that file and edit it as desired.​

This looks useful to MacOS X but the Problem is, There's no program for windows XP, Vista, 7 or 8 :C if there's a version for Windows, it would be really useful.

JNGP's "Register Shell Extensions" does pretty much the same thing. So you can always use that. :) It isn't 100% the same but it is similar.

I mean, I could make a Windows version, I just don't think it'll be much better than the shell extension.

It really should be compatible to Windows users, 64 & 32 Bit.

Yep. I still use it.

I could probably make & release a better one though. This one just assumes your paths are "/Applications/Warcraft III" or "/Applications/Warcraft III Folder". They actually write down the install paths within a plist, so I should just read it from there.
