Hello there, I need your help!
Well, first things first, I'm new around here, so I'm not sure if that is the right place to post, but it didn't seem wise to make a new thread just for a few questions.
So, thing is, I finally got warcraft3 up and running again, and decided to give a try to DotS, I downloaded a whole bunch of maps found here and elsewhere. So the first question is: is there a map archive with all the versions somewhere? I only found a few mediafire links here and there and since I don't read a word of Chinese, I can't correctly browse touhou.cc. And the second question is, which map are you guys using the most? 967? 977? Both?
And now is the actual problem that I have. Please note that I am running war3 through wine on linux, therefore it's likely that my problem may not be related to the map or the game, but I still give a try, maybe someone had the same problem and maybe I just did something wrong.
So of all the maps I tried, the versions 949, 952, 954 work fine.
965 and 967 are playable but I have a graphical glitch: the portraits of the characters during the picking phase are just white squares. After that, everything is fine.
Now for 977 and 980, I have the same problem as before, but even after that, the whole map is totally white (I can't even see the forms of anything), except for the hud and the life bars. Needless to say that it is unplayable. I can still see the animated portrait and the spells correctly in the hud though.
So I used fontcraft (I see chinese characters in game), I extracted the THDotS外置文件包0004 in my warcraft directory and used the .reg file (btw, should I have the THDotS directory or directly the Hero and Textures one?), I tried to use opengl and directx. And still the same.
I'd really like to play it, but I feel it's not really worth it if the 967 is getting obsolete, so that would be nice if any of you had any idea to help me.
Thanks in advance.
Btw, last thing, is there a customkeys.txt somewhere for the map? If not, is there a way to get the list of the id codes of every spell (I can't open the map in the editor)?
