1. File Extractor For Mac

Following the success of, Blizzard Entertainment released the second game of the series in 1996. Once again the game was set in the kingdom of Azeroth with a single player game revolving around commanding either a force of orcs or humans through a multi-mission campaign. At the time of Warcraft II’s release Blizzard Entertainment were in direct competition with Westwood and their franchise. As a result the game features a host of new and improved features when compared to its predecessor.

The graphics have been overhauled and now feature higher resolution artwork, rendered in SVGA, and along with this the sound has been enhanced. In response to Command & Conquer there are new units, both naval and air, as well as resources and buildings to support them.

While the base building and resource harvesting game mechanics remain essentially the same, the AI has also been slightly improved. Units are now quicker to respond and have options to allow them to patrol and carry out tasks independently without continual player interaction. These changes were enough to ensure that Warcraft II dominated gaming awards in 1996 and catapulted Blizzard Entertainment into the ranks of the elite developers of the time. Their success and that of Westwood in the late 1990s had a huge impact on the real-time-strategy genre and without a doubt shaped the games of today.

Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness has an addon available:, don't miss it! External links. Extract the image files to a folder e.g. C: OLDGAMES IMAGES. In DOSBox mount the folder - ‘mount c c: OLDGAMES’ and press ENTER.

Then mount the CD Image - ‘imgmount d 'C: OLDGAMES IMAGES Warcraft 2.cue' –t iso –fs iso’ and press ENTER. Then - ‘D:’ press ENTER.

Run the installer – ‘INSTALL’ press ENTER. Install using the default location (C: WAR2) and sound settings. Run the game – ‘WAR2’ press ENTER To play in future simply repeat steps 2 and 3 and use the following commands:. ‘C: ‘. ‘CD WAR2’. ‘WAR2’ With the RIP version, launch war2cd.bat to play.

You may first run setup.exe to configure the sound card. Grant 2017-04-22 3 points Mac version MAC OSX Sierra 10.12.4 Guide Step by step 1. You will need to d/l two additional applications- 1.1 Boxer - 1.2 bChunk - 2. D/L the ISO version of WC2 (Important) 3.

Unzip the file two files, Warcraft 2.bin and Warcraft 2.cue 4. Open the application Terminal on your MAC. You can find this under the 'Utilities' tab, or Shift+Command+U. Follow this guide on how to create an ISO file from the Bin/Cue files. 5.1 You should now have a file named Warcraft 2.iso01.iso, and a numerical series of files named Warcraft 2.iso02.crd, etc. Go back to Boxer. Open and install it, if you already haven't done that.

6.1 You have three options browse your games, import new games, of DOS promo. Choose import new games.

Drag and drop the file Warcraft 2.iso01.iso into the Boxer frame. Choose INSTALLER.EXE, and press Launch Installer. Choose a sound card, I tried Generic OPL-3 and it worked fine for me. The Boxer screen goes to a DOS promt. Type, WAR2 to play the game.

Get some nachos, drinks and turn off the cell phone. It's Warcraft 2 time. Khan 2016-06-20 28 points SHORT EASY AND WORKING WITH RIP TOO 1)create a folder in drive C named 'w2cd' 2)now extract the RIP zip file, you have two folders in it the 'MACOSX' one ant the other 'warcraft-ii-tidesxxxxx'.

3)Rename the warcraft one as 'w2'. 4)copy 'w2' to 'w2cd'. So 'w2cd' has another folder 'w2' in it. 5) now open dosbox by double clicking and perform the following in case sensitive. Z: mount c c: w2cd Z: mount d C: w2cd W2 -t cdrom Z: C: C: cd w2 C: war2cd.bat Voila! Thank me Later. Windows10 2016-06-17 -4 points DOS version The reason some dont get it working i because the CDRom path is wrong.

How to, Windows 10: 1. Unpack the RIP version.

Rename the unpacked folder to something easy like W2. (I will be using path c: games w2 ) 2. Unpack the ISO version and copy both.bin and.cue files to the new W2 folder. Not the folder, just the two files!

Start DosBox. Mount c c: games w2 c: w2crack (And yes to both overwrites) mount f c: games w2 -t cdrom war2cd Do this and the CdRom issue should not happen. This is because the crack changes the path in the.ini file to 'nothing'. So if your path is like c: games w2 Cd or whatever for the cd, it wont work and thats why most dont get it working via other comments here. You only need to do the crack part once.!! That the standard steps would be: mount c c: games w2 mount f c: games w2 -t cdrom c: war2cd Other stuff: While at c: you can also run setup to get sound and music.

Use Soundblaster for sound effects and GeneralMIDI for music for best quality. Oldplayer 2016-05-26 1 point Hey guys.so i saw a coment on here reguarding a server that is available to play online agesnt other people.i looked into this and yes it is true.but as an advant gamer i noticed there are no music files associated with that version, and maybe ican speak for some of us when i say. This is an older game and the main reason i would play this is because of 1 the legendary BGM of wc2 and the story line.yes pvp is fun.but i have always enjoyed the thrill that the BGM provides to the experence.its quite annoying to hear only the clings of battle afterall. FinetalPies 2016-05-17 1 point DOS version I FINALLY got it to work. I was getting an 'insert CD' error, which I couldn't figure out through DOSBox, especially since I can't manually type in file directories since the backslash key on my keyboard is broken.

Here is how I did it. I used D-Fend Reloaded. I ran the Crack.exe by dragging it on top of DOSBox and overwrote the files.

I copied the folder location to all the wc2 files and pasted it into the.ini file under CDPath=. Then I ran D-Fend, dragged the folder into the window like it instructed me to, and set 'WAR2CD.bat' as the executable and 'setup.exe' as the setup.

File Extractor For Mac

For whatever reason, it stopped giving me the missing cd error (I had tried running WAR2CD.bat through DOSbox with the edited.ini file already) So yeah, very frustrating, needed to download an additional program to get it to work, huge pain. But it works now and the game is just like I remember it. BriGuy 2016-03-01 0 point DOS version Ok, it took a while for me to do this and get it to read the files following TATSUKICHI.

What I did is download the iso. After that, I downloaded the RIP files and placed them directly in the folder where the bin and cue file were. The main file (before the ISO folder) I named WTOD. Then named the ISO folder W2. Inside the ISO folder I named the RIP folder WII. Following his steps I was able to load it just fine.

Z: mount c c: wtod Z: c: C: cd w2 C: CDwii war2 After hitting that it starts up as usual only when starting a game it wont go into demands for a cd. This is by far the simplest I think it's going to get to explain how to make it work and there is no hidden files to dig up or anything. Hidling 2015-12-16 3 points Mac version Tutorial for OSX: 1.Download the rip version and extract it to /desktop/wc2 2.

Go in to the folder and edit war2.ini with texteditor 3. The first line says 'cdpath=.'

, change it to 'cdpath=d: ' 4. Download dosboxer (Just google search it) 5. Now open dosboxer dospromt up. Enter the following commands: mount c /users/yourusername/desktop/wc2 (enter) mount d /users/yourusername/wc2 -t cdrom (enter) c: (enter) war2 (enter) I made this tutorial because i found the other ones here pretty complicated, especially if you do not have any experience with dosprompts like me. Stranger 2015-07-28 1 point DOS version You have got only a.bin and a.cue file.

If you want to play with this game, you need a program whitch can extract these files, and maybe a DosBox emulator (if you not using older 32 bit Windows). Get the 'Daemon Tools Lite' program. (or you can use WinRar or other program too). Open Daemon Tools, and add the.bin image file to a virtual disk.

If you do it well, you will see a lot of file, in a virtual disc folder. If you use 32 bit Windows system, click Setup.exe, and follow the installer. Else download DosBox, and follow Tatsukichi's comment. (Mount a folder, and copy all files in the CD to the mounted folder.) Step 4. You can remove the virtual CD with Daemon Tools. HairyPenines 2015-04-29 4 points DOS version To all of you having problems running this game (or any game using DOSBOX) First off you have to understand the fundamental filing system in which your computer stores things. You call them folders, but they used to be called directories.

Your hard drive is most likely the C: drive. Click on My Computer Double click on C: hard drive (or whatever you might have named it) Right click anywhere that you are not touching anything in that window.

(we are making a new directory/folder) Name that folder anything you want as long as it is 8 LETTERS or less. Don't name it anything fancy. I suggest 'oldgames' NOW. Do you have dosbox? Go download it, I'll wait. Now that you have dosbox and an oldschool directory name you are ready to run this game:P Download this game and put in in your oldgames directory in its own directory named war2 (do i need to explain how to make a new directory?) extract the game in there and run dosbox Now in dosbox: type Mount c: c: oldgames (or whatever you named your 8 or less letter directory) now type c: yes just c: this will change you to the new virtual drive labeled c: that you just made:P now for shits and grins type dir dir is a dos command that shows you what's in the directory you're currently in.

Now type cd war2 (change directory war2) now type war2cd.

Trevor 2015-01-09 0 point DOS version Game is working great on windows 8 without cd crack, it took a few minutes to work out the quirks, thanks for all the comments. Any ideas on fixing the in game scrolling? Mine is way to fast so I am clicking the mini map to navigate. I tried updating the dosbox-0.74.conf with lower sensitivity. I also tried changing the options in the warcraft2.ini file for speed, mscroll, kscroll, mmscroll, and mkscroll with lower values and much higher values, neither seemed to do the trick. Kronick 2014-07-27 0 point DOS version In response to the where to extract question.

What I did is make a separate folder to extract to. I use Dosblaster which deploys DosBox to play the game without having to go through the annoyance of mounting drives and so forth. From DosBlaster I go-to file-Import Game- select the folder that shows the.exe.batch or both.NOTE THESE ARE FILES SO WONT SHOW WHEN IMPORTING GAME FOLDER. CHECK EXTRACTION POINT FOR APPROPRIATE FOLDER Once game is imported, double click the joystick icon that shows the game name ( windows opens with a few.exe.batch or both files) and select one and you should be good from there.IF MANY FILES SHOW AND NOT SURE JUST TRY EACH. I created a folder called Dos.

Inside created separate game folders so my desktop wouldn't be cluttered. Once I extract to created folder I check that folder to see if it made it's own folder or not. Sometimes zip/compressed files when extract have the habit of making or not making their own separate folder(s) Thus why should always make an extraction folder just on the off chance there is no self made folder. I would think no one wants millions of files on their desktop. Also just for an off note, some games will play without using dosbox or third party software. You just click the appropriate application file (.exe) Such is the situation with Theme Hospital and Colonization. (MAINLY WINDOWS XP) I am noticing that a lot of games will work regardless 32 or 64 bit as long as using a dos emulator and windows version doesn't matter for most.

Gamechamp 2013-08-03 4 points DOS version I tested 1SolutionToUniteThemAll's solution and it worked, although it can be done even simpler than that. You don't need to make a subfolder of the game within the game folder. All you do is edit the config files first line from cdpath=. To instead say cdpath=c: (use whichever drive letter you plan to mount in dosbox) then mount the game folder and execute war2.exe and it'll run. I used D-Fend Reloaded to do this, since it takes care of everything for me. I had set cdpath to D: and then through D-fend specifically I went to the profile editor for the game then 'Drives' section and added the link to the game folder, setting it as 'folder as hard disk' and selecting the drive letter to be D. Worked like a charm.

1SolutionToUniteThemAll 2013-07-11 4 points DOS version Piecing together stuff from different posts I got it to work. I edited the war2.ini file like several people did (it finally saved the changes.) I don't know what the warcraft folder means but I typed: cdpath=e: and then saved Within Dosbox I mounted two drives c: and e: drives with c: being the first extraction location and e: being the same contents in a subfolder.

So I have on my actual hard drive c: warcraft and the exact same contents in c: warcraft warcraft (This latter one is mounted as the E: in dosbox.) I did not use war2cd.bat. I executed using war2.exe. To summarize after you edit war2.ini, within dosbox type: mount c c: warcraft mount e c: warcraft warcraft Then execute: war2.exe I also downloaded the hack from the megagames link and extracted it to the c: warcraft folder. I don't know if it is critical. Now if I can just figure out how to play! Tatsukichi 2013-03-22 12 points DOS version Instructions for noobs like myself that haven't used dosbox, simple enough for a monkey like me. These are step by step ways to make it easier for you with no used-this-for-years shorthand that seems to make things simple but is over the heads of us children.

Struggled but the way I got mine to work on dosbox made folder under C: called oldgames and in that a folder called w2tod, threw the game files in w2tod, then renamed the long named file 'warcraft-ii-ti.' To 'wc2tod' copied all the files from this and pasted into the first w2tod file. Then in dosbox: (don't use caps lock, the cdrom part was case sensitive) Z: mount c c: oldgames Z: mount d C: oldgames W2tod wc2tod -t cdrom Z: C: C: cd w2tod C: w2todwar2cd.bat Voila!

The game starts! Credit where it's due, mixed what was commented on here by fluffy, and admin, to what I was trying to follow on the Dosbox wiki basic setup. Heck this may be what fluffy was talking about entirely but I couldn't really understand anything in there except make copy of file in same file. Though mine wouldn't let me keep it the same name so added a 'c'.

Now, we will start off by getting the actual files we need. Before getting anything, you will need MySQL 5 and a server management tool like SQLyog or Navicat. MySQL 5: MySQL AB:: MySQL 5.0 Downloads SQLyog: MySQL GUI Tools, MySQL Monitor, MySQL Manager, MySQL Performance Tuning and Optimization Navicat: Navicat - the World's Best MySQL Front End for Windows, Linux & Mac OS X Now for the server files.

I maintain a fully updated list of official UDB releases here: HacksDB. View topic - The Unified Database for MaNGOS. Currently, the latest versions are: MaNGOS: Core 4752 UDB: 0.8.2 Daybreak Currently, this is for WoW 2.2.3. You will also need DBC Files, a Map Extractor, and optionally, a Vmap Extractor. DBC Files: Mangos-Files.de Maps Extr.: Mangos-Files.de Vmaps Extr.: Mangos-Files.de So, download the above files.

Remember to grab the realmd.sql from UDB too. You will need it. Now, let's arrange our files a bit.

Extract your MaNGOS core to C: MaNGOS. Put the Map Extractor in C: MaNGOS Map Extr. Put the Vmap Extractor in C: MaNGOS Vmap Extr. Put the UDB files in C: MaNGOS sql.

Put the DBC files in C: MaNGOS dbc. That should do. Installing MySQL When you have downloaded MySQL, simply install it. Select the usual configuration and tell it to use minimal system resources. I recommend you to enable remote access when it asks you for that. Now, install either Navicat or SQLyog. Personally, I prefer having both since SQLyog is good for importing/exporting and Navicat is good for editing.

Now that you have done this setup part, we should be able to move on to the database import part. Note: Remember your MySQL password!

You're gonna need it later on! Importing The Databases Now,let's import our datas! First off, in your MySQL application, add a database named 'world' or anything else and a database named 'realms' or whatever you might want to call that.

In the realms database, import the realmd.sql. This will add basic functionality to our Realmd process. In the realms database, select the realmlist table.

Then add the following line: Code: id - name - address - port - icon - color - timezone - allowedSecurityLevel - population 1 - Your Realm Name - Your IP - 8085 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 0 - 0 Remember, you should change the icon and color depending on your realm type. You can change realm type later on. Also set the timezone to match your timezone. Now, open up the accounts table and add a new row.

Edit the following fields like this: Code: id - I - gmlevel - email - joindate - tbc 1 - YourPassword - 3 - YourEmail - Date And Time - 1 All columns not mentioned above should not be edited. Just edit the ones I mentioned. Your password should be automatically encrypted. Remember that the joindate format must be like this: 2007-10-18 16:23:24 Now that you have your realm added and a fully working GM account, let's move on to setting up the server files. Setting Up MaNGOS Now we're at the point that will take quite some more time. I will describe as much as I can in the MaNGOS configuration files.

First off, let's configure the realmd.conf file, just because it's the smallest one.:) Note: Below, I will add my own comments in the files. My comments will be prefixed with //. Open up realmd.conf. Lines to edit are in red. Lines that you MAY have to edit are in green.
