Warcraft 3 Delay Reducer 1.3.1.2

This bundle is marked as useful / simple. Simplicity is bliss, low effort and/or may contain minor bugs.
This tool originates from here

Reduce Warcraft III's Battle.net delay of 250ms and LANs 100ms to any value you wish.
Supports changing while in game for anyone who cant handle the current value.

Instructions:

Errors while trying to start the application?
Then you need .Net Version 2 Framework: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=0856EACB-4362-4B0D-8EDD-AAB15C5E04F5&displaylang=en.

Changing Delay

Right click the icon in the task bar.
Enter your desired value into the text box and press Enter.

If the text box is disabled it means the program cannot find Warcraft III.

Switch Languages

Right click the icon in the task bar.
Click Language then click on the desired language.
Restart W3DR.

If you only use English and dont want the Language menu to appear then just delete the Language folder in your W3DR directory.

Ingame Commands

!dr 70

Notes

You dont have to remake the game if you forget to open W3DR, you can just open it while in game and change the latency.
This is only for the host, if the host is not using W3DR then you will have delay, if the host is using W3DR then all players will have reduced delay (even if players dont have W3DR).
Players using GGC, LC, Hamachi and LAN can now reduce delay.
Vista users need admin priviliges.
It might be a good idea to put [DR] in the title of your games so others will know they are joining a delay free game, it also allows players who only join delay free games to easily identify games. eg. [dr] ap pros, leavers banned

ok i feel like a noob asking this but....what is the best # to set it at? (is it best2 have high or low #s?)

It really depends. If the host has a good connection, and all players come from the same country, he can set it low (about 80). If he has a bad connection, he must set it higher (around 120-130).

If you are a bad host, and do a low !dr, the map will spike very badly. There are already problems with players (not the host) spiking because of their crap internet connection.
