I just set up a pvpgn server for warcraft III.
It will allow people to join and play games, exactly like battle.net.

A legal copy of the game is not required, but Warcraft III is a great game that all should purchase.


To connect do this:

Find the file UMRwar3.exe off of seek

1) Make sure you have Warcraft III: Frozen Throne installed and updated to the latest version.

2) Run UMRwar3.exe

3) Start the game by clicking on the "UMR Warcraft III" icon

4) Make sure the gateway is set for UMR, click on Battle.net, and make an account.


- It is hosted on a 24/7 dual sparc64 box.

can u get on battle.net servers after doing this, and what version of wc3 are u running?

thx,
cool see u in there

Yes you can still get on battle.net after this. It makes a new gateway in called UMR.

The version is 1.17, but w3battle.exe will update it for you if you have an older version.

cool it works

Its up and three accounts have been created. Spread the word!

after joining the east server on bnet i came back and the pvp server gateway was gone I guess you have to re-edit the registry everytime you go from bnet to the umr server.

hm, thats probally something blizzard does. Well just reload the reg file and your good to go. You can also put a dos command to import the registry file in the shortcut so it loads automatically everytime.

bump

Maybe it should be a sticky?

Shouldn't it be \\esper\share\



I'm either doing something wrong or your box is down, I can't get into \\esper.

I just moved it to \\war3\share , which is the actual server and is always on.
The files are also on seek


I accidently put the slashes the wrong way because Im so used to linux, oops.

Maybe make a simple php server script that tells if anyone is playing or not.

actually something like that is built into pvpgn, but for now you can im me and I can tell you.


Were starting to get people. 14 accounts so far, and some very active members.

anything like this availible for Starcraft or am i the only person on campus that sill plays it?

It works for any blizzard game: starcraft, diablo I & II, warcraft II. But you willl have to set up your registry to connect to it for each specific game, so I only official support warcraft III: Frozen Throne.
