Server.War2.ru / Re: War2PLoader released - UPNP and more
« on: January 12, 2015, 02:01:18 PM »
Its quite bad, the whole screen is blacked (like a worse color bug) and makes client unusable. When I tried it on my Windows XP virtual machine, there is no color problem, maybe windows 7 64 bit has problems.
Did you ever get such black screen with WPpatch or activated war2.bat? I have no idea what's wrong with loader: it uses the same war2 call logic...
Does it work fine now via WPpatch or War2NoCDLoader now? Can you try? Maybe you just copied some broken ddraw.dll to combat dir or w/e?
Maybe to try to start the program as administrator?..

See this is what happens, it still takes 30 seconds to load with the new version.
That's strange, i just checked logs, it looks like updated version on your side, but works like not updated.
How do you run it? It that the file W2PLupdater.exe in you combat directory you start? Is it version 1.0.0.2?
I'll add some additional checks tomorrow to be sure how it works...

I also got your problem with UPNP not working:
Your router doesn't support UPNP. That UPNP device been detected by Loader, was another UPNP device. That's why you have 30 sec timeout with UPNP failed.

I can report success with this app.
That's great! I hope it will also work for less experienced people too.
Oh, there was 1 issue.  The icon that it uses was all broken up, so I removed it and used the war2 exe icon.
That's not quite broken, that was just my try to redesign it, lol... The only broken is the biggest icon (48x48x32 or w/e, it's just a white square with blue border).
I'm not a good designer, need to ask somebody to draw some beautiful icon...

Updated to 1.0.0.2. Now it starts war2 firstly, then tries to forward ports, while you already playing.

Just start it, it will ask about autoupdate, click yes and try.

You can use it to start war2 every time. It will be autoupdated when i resolve your router forwarding problem and release the new version.

Also let me know about green border or w/e. It uses the same logic as existing NoCD loader, so that should not be any bugs with it, maybe just a glitch?

1444
Oh, and you mean we won't need the bound: bot+GameBot anymore? Just 1 GameBot always waiting with it's game all the day until someone joins? And then start, quit and create the next game?
I think i got your idea now, it's really great.
Just need some research for that.
Appreciate anyone's help with the project...

so you think this will fix many hosting issues?

if it does, can it be added to server.war2.ru so anyone who downloads war2 gets these updates?
Yes, i hope so,
And sure, it will be added to the next combat version after this test period. That's why i need help with testing it on several different configurations before the final release.

It takes like 30 seconds to open war2, then it launches with the screen blacked out with green border.
Checked it, your router wrote it supports UPNP but caused an unknown error while port mapping...
I'll move UPNP section after war2 starting in next version, to save your 30 sec.
What green border do you mean?

1446
The idea could be interesting, need to think about it.
Games would be: compstop EASY, compstop MEDIUM, compstop HARD, for example for 2 human players, the number of computers and/or maps would differ across the levels.
You mean 2 human players against several comps and "easy", "medium" and "hard" is number of the computer opponents?
Also allies+vision should be auotgiven to all the human players then.

Server.War2.ru / War2PLoader released - UPNP and more
« on: January 11, 2015, 07:10:34 AM »
Here's a result of my last 1,5 weeks job:

Warcraft 2 Process Loader.
Will be alternative for War2 Process Patcher.

1. The main feature in this version is UPNP.
Checks the Game Data Port on the computer and forwards it through the router, allowing to host games.
Should be used instead of manual router configuration.
Also works for computers from the same newtork (you should manually add different game data ports into the registry. Will be an option in next combat version.)

2. Another feature: it's a loader, not a patcher.
Just copy it into the combat OR ANY OTHER war2 version and start.
War2PLoader will be 100% compatible with all the war2 versions, same as War2Ppatcher.
It will try to find WPpatch.exe and then (if not found) Warcraft II BNE.exe. Then it will start the found version.
Also includes NoCD. In future versions all the features from WPpatch will be moved to War2PLoader.

3. Auto report logs.
Each time you start it, it will send it's result to the server if it works fine or any errors occured. This should help me to check it's work and support the clients.
Also will help to collect statistics, how many users does actually have UPNP routers.

4. Auto update from server.war2.ru.
Each time you start it, it checks the new version and asks you to update it. All you need it just to click "yes".
I plan to make several updates, adding more functionality to this project.

5. Should be fully compatible with new windows.
I tested it on win vista x86, win 7 x86 and win 7 x64. Should have appropriate reaction for all new windows security updates, with working UAC, DEP, virtual store, etc. Should reqest admin privileges just for autoupdate, also should work correctly in "Program Files" directory or w/e.
Combat will also have some new improvements for UAC/DEP/etc compatibility in next versions.

Plans for future:
Several updates for this project:
- to add the same functionality as War2Ppatcher+NoCD and WPpatch.
- to add some hardware binding, to make effective cheater detection.
- to add some kind of antihack checks to block all the existing cheating software and possibly some more general protections.
- possibly some more features, like new games notifier, streaming software, etc.
- this project should be the core of future combat versions, but also 100% compatible with any other war2 version.

Here's the archive: ftp://ftp.war2.ru/war2/utils/War2PLoader.rar
Copy these 2 files into your war2 directory and start exe. Just updated the archive and removed 2 dlls, now useless from there.

Liked it.
But why to make the new page? Woudn't it better to advertise the old existant combat page and war2server group with 1000+ likes & members?

Server.War2.ru / Re: server reconfiguration: versioncheck DEactivated
« on: January 10, 2015, 10:38:07 AM »
I removed versioncheck now. WTF, why to switch it on? It definitely makes some problems for people to join, i don't like to loose people for any cases.

My experiment:
0. i installed win vista and also win7 with all the settings by default. (I mean, i didn't disable UAC and DEP).
1. i just installed combat 3.15, changed install path to C:\Program Files\War2Combat.
2. started war2 (worked after i've added it to DEP exclusions) and got this message about versioncheck.
3. As known, problem is being caused by these 3 files:
- battle.snp
- storm.dll
- Warcraft II BNE.exe
Also I copied these files to VirtualStore: http://server.war2.ru/about/screenshot-policy/#If-you-already-saved-a-screenshot-with-UAC-Enabled
That didn't help.

The same result repeated in both vista and 7.

That means versioncheck at least will not work under new windows with UAC enabled when your war2 is installed into programs files, where any full version will be installed by default.
That's why i disabled versioncheck on the server and have no plans to enable it anymore.

Now every war2 version is working fine with our server.
Have a nice time playing war2!

Good job i think!
People should know that war2 is still alive.
Let them select between war2 and war3. War3 is newer and better-known game in the world, i don't think out war2 players know nothing about war3. But it's good to let war3 players know about war2!

That's great!
Nice to see all the content is available again, we lost nothing!

Let's hope Axolotl will have enough time to do something like redirects or w/e he can do for our projects.
Axolotl, did you restore an ftp access to your site?

« on: January 05, 2015, 07:54:12 PM »
I actually have plans for another ladder system for future.

Not sure how iccup thing works, my thought are about the best possible rating system.
Something like this maybe: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elo_rating_system
Any thoughts?
