Running Warcraft III From A Burned Disc?
« on: July 16, 2006, 08:51:50 pm »
I can't play the game, it wants me to insert the game disc.  I can, however, install both W3 and TFT from my burned discs (and even a mounted ISO image).  I tried a loader file, but I can't get on Battle.Net with it.  Anyone know how I can boot up my game from the burned/mounted drive without modifying any of the files the game uses for the hash?

IIRC to use a mounted ISO you have to install from the mounted ISO (not a burned copy).  Use sd4hide if it's still giving you problems

I installed from my F: drive (virtual drive mounted with Alcohol 120%).  I'll try sd4hide and see if it works.

[edit]
Didn't work, installing sd4hide now.

[edit2]
Okay, now I'm pissed.  SD4Hide didn't work with F, so I uninstalled and reinstalled on G (virtual drive mounted with DAEMON Tools), and it still gives me the "where the fuck is the CD?" message.

It's not going to like a burned CD, but if you feel like wasting your time go for it.  I don't remember what protection scheme it uses, but it is  technically legal to use a no-cd if you own the program.  Just install the patch files manually by downloading from blizzards ftp before "installing" the no-cd exe and keep the real exe in a backup folder.  Current patch is 1.20e.

I've played on burned cds online.

I own the game somewhere....

Anyway, I tried a burned disc last night, and it doesn't work.  Give me a link to a no-cd patch?

I use VirtualDrive and it works perfectly.

I have a programming folder, and I have nothing of value there

Running with Code has a new home!

I found one, years ago, that worked. Too bad I forgot the site. :-\

But yeah, it worked on Battle.net too. If you find out the protection it uses, I don't think it'd be too hard to make the new EXE pass checkrevision.

I'd personally do as Joe suggests

You might be right about that, Joe.

Sent you a pm with one that I have verified that works.  While on the topic, I hate having to use the no-cd in linux because the anti-cheat client we use in CAL detects it as a hack.  I haven't seen any information on getting wine to recognize an cd for running tft, but maybe I could emulate the drive within wine a la daemon tools, anyone know offhand if that would work?

Maybe, though I'd say use Cedega.  I hear it's better than Wine.

It appears to work, but I still need a TFT key before I can get on Battle.net (I used a public one, which is always in use).

Yea, I'm not sure where my spare is.  I only use the one tft key for myself, the rest of my keys are ROC keys used by bots.
