Server.War2.ru / Re: Is it me or the Server is Down?

It appears that the university it blocks everything :-(

It must be the reason why it works from home and not from here. The weird is that it used to work from here too...

Thanks

As Evil~Ryu has pointed out, I have a different problem than the server.

I have attached the red screen.

I have tried un-installing and re-installing but it didn't fix it.

Does anyone has an idea for fixing this?

Thank you!

Battle.net is not responding.
Please try connecting again in a few minutes.

Yes it is a red message.
It happens exactly after Verifying CD-Key (which takes forever)

Thanks

Hi all, is the server down?

The page: http://server.war2.ru/status/ show some users logged in but I can't enter.
It takes forever to check the cd key and after that it says there is a problem with the server try again later.

Thanks

Support Requests / Re: [done]port 1024

I have started to get that message too :-/ (for port 1024)

To my understanding it is a problem of my router, I need to reboot it and then it is okay.
As the PC ips change every now and then you need to either set a static ip for your pc or put new port FWs every time.

I have chosen the second for now. What happens is that sometimes while you are FWind 6112 it asks you for 1024. A router reboot though fixes that!

Hi all, I registered to attend the tournament but now I have to go.
If Spirit (the other player registered) wants to do the match we can schedule it here.

Cheerios

After a night of Gaming I want to give some more feedback on the mentioned problems:

a) The graphics of battle.net enviroment are non visible (THIS PROBLEM IS STILL PENDING BUT IT IS NOT CRITICAL)
b) If I play full screen I loose the keyboard focus (FIXED)
c) I cant host games because of a port issue (FIXED BY USING THE GUIDE: http://en.war2.ru/support/warcraft-ii-hosting-latency-fix/)
d) Mouse even in the slowest speed is toooo fast for my taste (THIS WAS FIXED BY DISABLING THE TOUCHPAD)

To solve (b) I create a virtual screen using: xinit -- :1
This has the problem that this screen is under the user that it creates it and sound does not have permission.
To solve the sound problem you need to add your user to the audio driver and reboot.

sudo adduser $USERNAME$ audio

Every time before executing war2 you open a terminal and run: xinit -- :1
this gives you a console there execute a script like this (a slightly updated script version than the previous one):

#!/bin/bash

#Lets find and disable the touchpad:
ID=$(xinput list | sed -n 's/.*touchpad[[:blank:]]*id=\([0-9]\+\)[[:blank:]]*.*/\1/Ip')
xinput set-prop $ID "Device Enabled" 0

#Lets change our screen resolution to 640x480
xrandr -s 640x480

#Lets execute wine with war2combat
env WINEPREFIX="/home/$USERNAME$/.wine"
wine C:\\windows\\command\\start.exe /Unix /home/$USERNAME$/.wine/dosdevices/c:/users/Public/Start\ Menu/Programs/Warcraft\ 2\ Combat\ Edition/Activated\ War2Combat.lnk

Other tricks found:
War2Observer from showdog works under linux and my solution!
But in order to work you must execute it separately, before xinit -- :1

I do so from the terminal as a background call: wine .wine/drive_c/War2Combat/War2Observe.exe &
But you could also click on it.

I want to use the cpu savior from IL but all my efforts failed for now. Thus this is an added topic!
And unfortunately, the war2 insight is not working either thus no replays :-( for now.

Thanks for reading, for all your responses and for enduring me and some of my tests!

Cheerios
ps: If anyone needs more help to get war2 running over linux I'll be glad to give a hand!

Great News!!!!

I have solved the most important problem for now! (Indeed by searching for Starcraft!)

Keyboard focus: SOLVED
Solution is pretty complicated though:

Everywhere you need to replace: $USERNAME$ with your username :-P

First we need a shell command that will setup and execute war2:

war2.sh

xinput set-prop 10 "Device Enabled" 0 # This disables my touchpad because I'm on a laptop
xrandr -s 640x480 # This is important you will need to set the screen resolution to 640x480 (do not worry this is temporary only for this script)

# The following are needed for WINE
env WINEPREFIX="/home/$USERNAME$/.wine"
wine C:\\windows\\command\\start.exe /Unix /home/$USERNAME$/.wine/dosdevices/c:/users/Public/Start\ Menu/Programs/Warcraft\ 2\ Combat\ Edition/Activated\ War2Combat.lnk


STEP 2:

You need to add your user to the audio driver!

sudo adduser $USERNAME$ audio

and restart your pc

STEP 3:

Create a War2 Screen

open a terminal and type:
xinit -- :1

that will give you a new screen where we will run war2

now you execute your script!

This solution works for multiple games!

I have already tried that :-(
Wine and Play on Linux function fine as long as you do not connect to battle.net!
I can have perfect LAN games or perfect single player games. The moment I go to Battle.net the problems start.

I'm sure I will find a solution eventually, especially now that I found out that starcraft has the same problem. I'm sure there is a guide to fix it :-) for starcraft as it is more popular :-(

Cheers

Hi all again,

I have been very busy lately so I haven't yet tried all suggestions. But I did try some stuff:

i) graphics fix by aqrit
this didn't work :-( It also made the game slower to launch!
ii) Wine doesn't really have directx but uses a lame emulator. I tried to install directx to wine but it got really complicated. In other words even if this would solve the problem it does not worth the effort.

I also tried with Starcraft and there I managed to get 1 game to run properly over Battle.net but I never managed to get a 2nd :-(
Thus the problem is for both games and it is similar!

I tried also some other small stuff with no success. (Wine Setting and Wine window management)

I'm still on it and I will keep you informed.

ps: For now I have not tried anything about the ports as the  EF_Host bot solves the problem ;-)

That is great!
Thank you guys for the thumbs up, quick responses and info.

This weekend I'm busy with finishing a paper but next week I will devote sometime to get you some more feedback!

Quest Accepted: I will collect a guide with all  the details of how to make it work perfectly over linux.

I use Ubuntu, but by my experience if you get to work it on one the transition to the next linux is easy. Thus after I fix the problems on Ubuntu I will be happy to have requests for other distributions.
The main issue is fixing that damn keyboard focus that doesn't allow me to play on full screen.

Cheerios!

Mods & Development / War2 over Linux
« on: May 12, 2016, 09:29:37 PM »
Hi all,

for better or worst I'm using Linux. Currently I run war2 using Wine but I would like to see a native version...

Why? Because I have several problems:
First of all, if I play only single player the game is ok. I also assume if go non enhanced multiplayer it should be fine.
The moment I go to Enhanced multiplayer all hell breaks loose!
a) The graphics of battlenet enviroment are non visible
b) If I play full screen I loose the keyboard focus
c) I cant host games because of a port issue (perhaps this can be bypassed)
d) Mouse even in the slowest speed is toooo fast for my taste (this perhaps can be fixed with a linux system command)

Anyhow, I would be willing to help in order to make a linux version! Or create an extensive guide of how to make War2 play properly under linux.

Thus I'm starting this post...
First question, do you have the source code? if so, perhaps we could try to compile under linux! That would be the ideal solution.
Second question, anyone else uses linux? Do the same issues arise?
Third question, who is willing to help me for this!

Thats for now!
ps: Thank you for the great job of reviving War2! You reminded me the great times I had when I was younger!
ps2: Slowly, I will do my best to get involved with the development.
