Flame_Phoenix	Hi guys, I am a new user of Linux and ... I want Wc3 installed on it xD Problem is that I make no idea on how to make it ... I heard people use wine, but I also don't know how to use it ... Can someone please give me some links? Thx in advance.

Vexorian	I bet you had installed wacraft III on your windows partition, and that it has the most recent patch. So, it can't be any hard, open a terminal in this folder: Code: sudo apt-get install wine wine war3.exe -opengl - window

In deed you are correct as usual my friend =D
I already installed wine, I heard that is essential to run windows apps.

One questions though, am I supposed to configure the windows partition? I heard that Linux has problems with NTF disks and that Windows has problems with ext3 disks
(Windows uses NTF, Linux uses ext3).

Another question, will I be able to emulate JNGP on wine ?

Linux used to have trouble with NTFS disks ... Five years ago.

JNGP works in WINE just some stuff:
* It works in WINE, but indirectly (just running newgen's executable won't help, you'll need some Pedit hacking stuff, it is easy though)
* JNGP is basically unnecessary if you ask me.

It is called NTFS and not NTF, and I think Jaunty probably supports those things by default , if not:

Code:

sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g

PipeDream	if you want to host games, you'll have to use a patched version of wine. Add to the bottom of /etc/apt/sources.list Code: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/pxc/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/pxc/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main Then Code: $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install wine Edit: assuming you're on *ubuntu

MMmm I have that reported such problems to me recently... I needed to be sure though.
And yes, it is NTFS, I forgot the "S" in the end, sorry for that xD

Why you say so?
What do you suggest? Using JassHelper alone? I also like the color editor on the tooltips and TESH kinda helps =P
Another thing, I heard the myth that Grimoire works for Linux, and that there is a more recent version for it ... is this truth?

Wha? Mmmmm for some reason I didn't find anything on Ubuntu forum (searched wrong place maybe ...) do you know of some link to do that?
Thx in advance.

If you play melee, you will probably get screwed. I will make diffs at some point for a JNGP execute on linux button.

Wermm, so if I want to have grimoire on Linux I will have problems playing wc3 melee games !? =S

EDIT EDIT

Hey guys, I finally managed to make my WarCraft III work on Linux. Happens that I was experiencing a bug from Wine lol ...

Anyway, I made a small tutorial about it for newbs to learn:
