javaguy Posted July 3, 2005 Report Share Posted July 3, 2005 What it says, with Mandrake 10.1. I think I've tried to figure this one out before. Here's my drive info: $ l -la /dev/cdrom lrwxrwxrwx 2 javaguy disk 3 Feb 26 09:04 /dev/cdrom -> hdd $ l -la /dev/hdd brwxrwxrwx 1 javaguy disk 22, 64 Feb 26 03:15 /dev/hdd ...and also, just in case it's relevant... $ l -la /dev/scd0 lrwxrwxrwx 2 javaguy disk 3 Feb 26 09:04 /dev/scd0 -> hdd Been playing WoW a lot, and it's got me nostalgic for War3. Smile Now if I can just get it to work... Oh, I'm launching using Point2Play, if that matters. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artificial Intelligence Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 Did you try to change from win89 to winXP in the configuration box? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javaguy Posted July 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 Well, I hadn't tried that, but now I have. Same result, though. :( And here's something else wierd. After I tried that I looked at the permissions for /dev/hdd, and they had changed back to brw-rw----. WTF? I did a chmod to make them brwxrwxrwx again and tried again, still with the same result, but it looks like something is playing with my device permissions. Is this a Mandrake 10.1 behavior? 'Cause I do not like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artificial Intelligence Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 Can you actually see any files on the CD? If so have to tried to copy all the CD to your hard-disc, I did that with Wow to get it installed. Edit: Try to install other version of Cedega via P2P and see if it make any changes. Though it can be a Madriva problem though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javaguy Posted July 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 Yes, I can see all the CD files on /mnt/cdrom. I've tried configuring p2p for different Cedega versions, with no luck. The game installed okay. I'm willing to try copying the CD in its entirety, but will that really "look like" the CD to the W3 client? Thanks again, Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulSe Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 Have you tried it without Point 2 Play? I tried P2P once and dropped it immediately. Try just running the game with the cedega command. Game-specific topics can also be found on the Cedega forums at http://www.transgaming.org/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javaguy Posted July 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 Yes, I've tried it with cedega directly. As with p2p, it installed just fine but said CD not detected when I tried to run it. ...And yes, the CD was mounted, and I could view files on it. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulSe Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 Well, it's not the most elegant solution, but what about using a No-CD crack? I used one for a while with Cedega and Warcraft 3, just because I got sick of having to find the CD everytime I wanted to play. If you bought the game, I can't see any reason why you shouldn't be allowed to use a No-CD crack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javaguy Posted July 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 Can you point me to one that works? I found one by "Amir Warez" that said to copy the entire CD into a folder and replace the install.exe with his. I ran it, and it seemed to work, brought up the install thingy, showed the license agreement, and when I clicked Agree it just went back to the install window and didn't install. I tried clicking Disagree too, to no avail. I'm a little wary of downloading cracks anyway, so any advice on this front would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

SoulSe Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 http://www.gamecopyworld.com/ They always have good patches and insist they are intended for legal use only :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javaguy Posted July 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 From the WC3 page of GCW: "No-CD & Fixed Executables for this game are not available @ GameCopyWorld. " :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulSe Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 Try those evils feckers over at http://www.astalavista.box.sk/ You'll have to make sure you have popup blocking on - otherwise they're going to spawn pr0n popups all over your desktop, other than that it is still the best source for cracks. NB - We are discussing cracks in this thread in an attempt to help a user with a LEGAL COPY of Warcraft 3 to get it to run. No other use of cracks can be viewed as acceptable and we are not encouraging the use of cracks in pirating software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
