>downloading dolphin porn.

do you seriously expect me to download god knows what from Sup Forums 2.0 ? kill yourself my man it's probably ransomware or some shit

Has all the convenience features you'd like.
Queueing techs.
Build hotkeys.
CD quality music.
Both ToD and BtDP content.
Widescreen and HD resolutions.

Ebin.

It's legit.

Whatever you say senpai.
You can just google Wargus if you don't believe me but good luck setting it up on your own.

wow this sure convinced me retard

Meh. I'm on a VM. I'll give it a try.

Like I said, if you don't believe me just google Wargus (look for 2.4 version). You will also need to grab the Stratagus engine .exe from Stratagus 2.3 version since 2.4 version of Stratagus (the one that comes with Wargus 2.4) is fucked and won't launch.
They're both on github btw.

>some version of VC wasn't fucking found

Damn it. This bullshit. This is why I don't usually use Windows.

Nevertheless. It seems there is indeed WC2 in there. I cannot guarantee there's nothing else in there along with it.

It's a fully installed and setup version of Wargus 2.4 with Tides of Darkness and Beyond the Dark Portal data included and ready to go. Literally retard proof, all you do is extract the files and launch Wargus.

Like I said, you can literally set it up yourself if you don't trust me.
You will need DOS version isos of WC2 and Beyond the Dark Portal btw since it doesn't work with B.Net edition.
It install music a bit wrong though (due to music being in wrong order on beyond the dark portal CD and it overwriting the default one from wc2).
It also lacked the Orc 6 and Human 6 music tracks that were added in B.Net edition so I added them to that premade package in the OP.
Also added Orc briefing since this thing by default reuses Human briefing music track for both.

Does it have training queues (from console version) though? Only thing deterring me from playing desu

inb4 git gud

Nah I'm going to use it. Thanks for sharing. My Windows installation is expendable anyways.

yes.
It has many features of modern FPS like training queues and ability to select way more than 9 units at once.

You can queue units and techs. Yes.
It basically plays like WC2 with WC3 convenience features.

Also this is what I meant by fixing the briefing part (pic related).
Left is original lua script, right is my edited.

I meant RTS, fuck.
You know what I mean.

I am reminded now of how bullshit it was that AI churned out Dragons and Griffons in 5 minutes and know my exact base coordinates.
Oh well, fun 5 min.

Set it to Easy :^)

But seriously this actually made WC2 playable for me due to all dat modern RTS convenience and higher res.

So Blizzard is letting indie devs make games out of their property now?

It's reverse engineered.
It doesn't even run on WC2 engine, it runs on the custom Stratagus engine which is some small indie engine.

bump

I always liked those target lines, Tiberian Sun also had them.

>click repeatedly on a critter
>it explodes
They even got that right.

Played the shit out of this game when I was a kid.

Maybe I'll play it again for nostalgia

It's better than it was back then thanks to unit build waypoints, keyboard hotkey shortcuts for building etc, queueing techs and units etc.

You can also use control groups and select more than 9 units at once.

Shit's great.

Case in point, pic related.
11 units selected at once and assigned to Control Group 1.

...

Thanks a lot man. I loved this game as a kid but didn't know how to get dosbox to work. This is much nicer.

Clicking critters till they explode never gets old.

You're welcome.

Nice.

Thanks OP.

>tfw you didn't liked Warcraft 3 because they used 3D instead of glorious 2D graphics

>tfw you didn't liked Warcraft 3 because they used 3D instead of glorious 2D graphics
Tbh you have kinda shit taste senpai.

Also while we're on the subject, there's a remake of Warcraft 1 for WC3 complete with custom models.

What's the best way to play Warcraft 3 and Frozen Throne?

I'm all burnt out on CnC and I want to try some classic strategy.

Install WC3
Install WC3 1.27 patch
Install TFT
Install TFT 1.27 patch

Play.

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO
I just finished playing through Warcraft 2, don't pull me back in!

But this is WC2 on steroids, DO IT FAGGOT

Did you play Dark Portal too? If not then you have NO EXCUSE

>type "disco" without quotations in ingame chat
DUDUDUDU DUDUDUM

IM A MEDIEVAL MAN

It doesnt seem to have the most important feature of them all, more than 6 units in a group.

>into the trash it goes

>It doesnt seem to have the most important feature of them all, more than 6 units in a group.
But it does you retard.
You literally are a dumb fat redneck that can't even READ THE FUCKING THREAD.

See

Wh-wh-wh-wh-what do you want?

Wh-wh-wh-wh-what do you want?

WHY DO YOU KEEP TOUCHING ME

AND THEN THERE'S THIS FAGGOT
YOU EVEN FUCKING REPLIED TO THE POST THAT PROVES YOU CAN CONTROL MORE THAN 6 UNITS YOU DUMB NIGGER

Can it be played in windowed mode, this is an important question.

I configured it so it launched in 640x480 windowed mode by default so even people with netbooks can launch it.
You can configure it for any resolution your system supports and full screen from ingame video options yourself.

tl;dr yes

yes.

All the standard resolution choices that'd you'd expect from a modern game are there.

WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF WARCRAFT

>meanwhile 20 years after WC2 came out WoW is on its death throes and is utter garbage and we're sitting here playing a source port of Warcraft 2

>download anything from Sup Forums
I think back to when Sup Forums was swarmed with bots, thanks to idiots falling for Sup Forums links that infected their machines.

Sweet. Thanks

Holy shit you can even enable damage drawing to show exactly how much each unit is hitting for

You do realize it's open source right?
github.com/Wargus/stratagus/
github.com/Wargus/wargus/
You could compile and set it up yourself.
I just made it easy for people and fixed some problems.

>9
>enough

fucking shills ITT

>9

CAN
YOU
EVEN
READ?
READ THE POST AGAIN YOU DUMB NIGGER
CHECK THE FUCKING SCREENSHOT AGAIN YOU DUMB NIGGER

SERIOUSLY GODDAMN

Ignore the retards, it's legit and working well. Thanks m80s

Warcraft 2 and 3 threads make me really sad. The aesthetics have for me embedded a whole childhood world.

Anyone else always used to think that human on the left had a dog head?

Warcraft will never be the same. RIP.

Come on, man.

Oh and on a side note, don't enable OpenGL in video options.
It breaks the FMVs.

doesn't matter, bloodlust ogremages are still the only way to play this game

How could you possibly come to that conclusion?

Also I miss the times when Metzen actually could draw good and wasn't allowed to actually write anything, just draw artworks.

>Metzen

DID SOMEONE INVOKE MY NAME?

Bump

>This program can't start because VCRUNTIME140.dll is missing from your computer

Thanks Sup Forums, got my hope up for a bugged piece of shit. I was looking forward to it, too.

>Sup Forums doesn't like RTS
WHAT HAPPENED?

>hurr durr I'm retarded and don't have VCredist installed
How underage and new are you not to have it installed when pretty much every modern game requires having VC installed?

Nigger you need Visual C Redist installed. What said.
microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145

Is this your first time using Windows?
Did you get a computer today?

I'm not even mocking you, that's a serious question.

There's nothing here that says this is worth installing over that awesome Battlenet torrent with the fixed .exe that fixes the colour glitch and makes the game completely portable on a pendrive. With ripped CD quality tracks as well.

Battle.net Editon has the following limitations

1. Max 9 units selected at once
2. Only 640x480 resolution
3. Can't queue shit
4. Can't use waypoints

Enjoy nostalgianigger.

fucking retard

What? I've played games on windows my entire life and not once have I ever heard of needing to download some shit from the microsoft website. What does it do?

>I've played games on windows my entire life
All five years?

All assets of original War2 are used, but with all the modern resolution options and modern RTS mechanics.

It's completely portable, no installation required, just unzip and go.

The music included is the ripped CD music from the originals.

If you can't understand how dumb your post is, go back to >>/vr/

I too love being able to only control 9 units, have 480p resolution, 25 FPS lock and and not being able to queue anything.
Cause that's all limitations of original WC2.
The point of this is to bring modern RTS convenience to it.

Nigger literally almost every single game nowadays requires it and comes with it. It's just instruction sets and necessary .dlls for many games.
LIKE, SHIT DUDE, PIC RELATED
99% of people don't ever have to download that manually from microsoft website since that fucking thing comes with good 90% of games on Steam.

>Enjoy nostalgianigger.

I am doing, thanks.

None of those things warrant a re-install. Sorry you aren't getting all those delicious mouthwatering (you)s, but it's not worth it.

If you need all that garbage then you're shit at the game anyway; why not just edit the files and give your units infinite health too?

Keeping quality posting alive single handedly aren't you, user?

Well fuck you guys, I installed it and the same message is still popping up.

Le ebin troll I guess.

Based user. Going to nostalgia hard over this. Need to get around to trying out WC3. Only ever played the demo but I played Warcraft 2 often

>If you need all that garbage then you're shit at the game anyway; why not just edit the files and give your units infinite health too?
Plesae fuck off back to /vr/ if you think basic sane RTS features are cheats. You belong in that shithole.

You need 32bit version, not 64 you fucking retard.
I'm sorry that you're a computer and tech illiterate nigger.

>not having a 21" 4:3 monitor just for playing old games

It's summer again isn't it?

One quick google search taught me how to fix it. Don't be a helpless bitch.

only issue I seem to be having is when I go beyond where the map ends, I get endless hands.

It must be summer if summerfags like you are acting autistic again.

I'm getting the exact same error. Even after uninstalling and reinstalling vcredist, both 64 and 86.

confirmed for being shit at games.

I think reddit is more your place, chief.


>pitch it as a HD version implying graphical improvements
>ruin it with those target lines

What the fuck is wrong with people?

no way this is legit..

Another well worded and eloquent post from you, squire. Top marks. Have a (you).

>can select more than 9 units
MY BODY IS READY
time to purge greenskins for humanity

It can disabled, you grognard.

That only applies to the early maps which are too small for your resolution to fill the entire screen.
Once you reach bigger maps that problem disappears.
CnC1, Red Alert 1 and Dune 2000 have the same exact "problem" when running in high resolutions.

did it fix the retarded pathfinding from the original?
>tfw all my units get stuck in trees on the way to enemy base

It's better than original that much I can tell you but it's still tile based so pathfinding leaves a lot to be desired.

The pathing and AI are a lot better.
Also, each map can be played at a different difficulty level. The higher difficulty levels can get intense real fast.

You need to copy it to the games folder where the exe is, use windows search toolbar.

Afterwards you might get 0xc00007b, google the issue for dll fixes

Have fun with it then, hfhsafnard

It's clear from the thread you're in a minority if you think this is remotely worth it.

>those unique ips

ahhh. How embarassing

Is there something similar for war1?

>play it to see if it's legit
>"save replay"
>all those quality of life improvements
>"you have X grunts" notification
YES
YES
IT'S LIKE WOW NEVER HAPPENED
THANK YOU BASED user

There's a full remake of WC1 for Warcraft 3.

BUMP
EVERYONE NEEDS TO SEE THIS

That was my reaction yesterday when I found out about this.
