Play Warcraft III in Window mode !?
« on: October 21, 2010, 03:54:34 am »
Anyone in this forum knows some kind of programs can make Warcraft III run in window mode?
Window mode can help me a lot when writing guide, taking note abt bug and idea. Press Alt+Tab like hundred times a day is so depressed.
I would really appreciate any help, just don't send virus and porno material, thank.

It's easy.

1 - Make a Frozen throne shortcut (if don't have one in your starting area)

2 - Right mouse click in the shortcut > properties

3 - The you will have "Destiny"(or maybe its destination. My language is portuguese, so...) . It's the game path between " "

4 - In the end of this (off the " ") put -window.

Example :

Original

Destiny(Destination or W/E)  "C:\Whatever\Warcraft III\Frozen Throne.exe"

Modified

Destiny(Destination or W/E)  "C:\Whatever\Warcraft III\Frozen Throne.exe" -window


5 - Then just execute the shortcut and play in window mode.

Hope I have helped.

Get used to using arrow keys for moving camera. I use window mode for testing, when I first used it, I got owned cus my would go out of game window, so no camera pan.
