« on: November 08, 2024, 06:04:01 AM »They will definitely ruin it. The only way to remaster it is uodate the graphics a bit, the rest is perfect.Agreed, although I feel like Dragon/Gryphon sprites were rushed, and they should respond faster
New maps by competent mappers, tilets(upper ground, ramps, bridges, doodads, map triggers, larger maps), audio tracks and.. ..maybe.. pathing could be improved
The basic game is solid

If you are instead looking for some kind of first person video recorder, there is this

And there is WarVideo, both of which I know nothing about

No, why don't you download some replays and try it out 
1) Logon to any bnet server
2) Load up the replay file (alt+tab and hit open replay in War2Insight, then click view replay)
3) Create a game, select the map the game was played on, set game type as Meele and tick Fixed Positions (and set a game password)
4) Set the exact number of "computer opponents" listed at bottom of the War2Insight window, this changes per replay depending on the number of players.
5) Start the game.

It's not a screen recorder, it records multiplayer games into a replay file (.wir) that you then play back in War2 (bnet).
You replay the game as an observer and are granted full vision of each player, or, if you want to see the game from one teams perspective select a unit/building from one player and hit INSERT for team vision.

You can record and replay games with War2Insight, I don't think it allows rewind though. See the readme inside the program.
105RC2 is the latest version compatible with all versions new and old, but not older versions of Widescreen/HD.
105RC2_HD (attached to this post) compatible with older versions of War2HD (if you launch from Warcraft_II_HD.exe, use this)
If you want auto record record try War2InSight104AutorecordStarter.zip, it may work with the latest HD(launched from Warcraft II BNE.exe), but not older versions.

« on: August 12, 2024, 10:55:53 PM »
Switching out the music this way is only possible with the full edition of War2Combat (not lite or standard)
You can push custom music into BNE and GoG editions with cmdmpq too but they use different paths internally, e.g.
~unknowns\unknown_0000012c instead of music\human3.wav
etc

« on: August 12, 2024, 07:11:52 PM »just use combat with plugins support + HD patch if you want to play campanigns with this plugin.
so basically you not need gog to play campanigns because gog is shit
so probably you do not need this plugin for multiplayer at all.
and that means you want it for singleplayer? just use combat for that, gog is shit
Yeah, I'm only interested in singleplayer. I know I can use War2Combat, but I want to use original gog version (with high quality music ripped by me from my original DOS CD and placed into install.mpq). That's why I asked if it was possible to add a plugin to the widescreen patch, since it already use similar plugins.
You can replace the BNE audio with any MPQ tool, INSTALL.EXE is an MPQ file afterall.
Place cmdmpq, the bat file I attached and the .wav files (named human1-6.wav, orc1-6.wav) into the root game directory and run the bat file to switch the game music.
human1 is BDP Track02 (0m:0s - 2m:52s)
human2 is BDP Track02 (2m:52s - 6m:28s)
human3 is BDP Track03
human4 is BDP Track04
human5 is BDP Track05
human6 is BDP Track06
orc1 is BDP Track10 (0m:0s - 2m:23s)
orc2 is BDP Track10 (2m:23s - 5m:54s)
orc3 is BDP Track11
orc4 is BDP Track12
orc5 is BDP Track13
orc6 is BDP Track14
Code: [Select]
@echo off
cmdmpq a INSTALL.EXE human1.wav music\human1.wav
cmdmpq a INSTALL.EXE human2.wav music\human2.wav
cmdmpq a INSTALL.EXE human3.wav music\human3.wav

Fifteen seconds to drop players is far too short, in later titles Blizzard increased the drop timer to 45 seconds.
What should it be, ideally?

Support Requests / Re: Map errors on editor
« on: July 19, 2024, 01:05:30 PM »
I modified the installer to include the original tome files from the War2BNE disk (combat editions are stripped down for portability)
Make sure you close all instances of the editor before you reinstall, the tomes won't be replaced while the editor is still open
https://fastupload.io/027ee735571fa6fb
If that doesn't work you might like to try War2xEd

You don't have to reinstall the whole game, there is a standlone map editor by iL (3.6mb download)
https://ftp.war2.ru/war2/Map%20related%20software/war2combatmapeditor102.zip
just remember to update your shortcuts, it installs to Program Files in a folder named War2CombatMapEditor.
(no guaruntees this fixes your problem)
