- ABOUT
-
- This program will patch your installation of Warcraft 2
- so that it can operate with or without your Warcraft 2 CD.
- It is not intended as a way of copying your CD for all your
- friends.
-
- GETTING STARTED
-
- Copy WC2CRACK.EXE, DETECTCD.EXE and WAR2CD.BAT into your
- Warcraft 2 directory.
- Run WC2CRACK.EXE, if there are any problems you will be
- informed at this stage.
- Only use this program on installations from CD or from
- Blizzard's upgrade patches, not on an installation that
- you or someone else has modified.
- After the modifications are complete, Warcraft 2 should be
- quite happy about running without the CD installed.
-
- TIPS & TRICKS
-
- If you sometimes wish to play without the CD, and sometimes
- with the CD, you can run DETECTCD.EXE before running WAR2.EXE.
- Be sure to tell DETECTCD where your CD-ROM is.
- e.g. DETECTCD F:\
- If DETECTCD finds your Warcraft 2 data, it will tell Warcraft 2
- that you want the speech and the cut scenes, otherwise
- Warcraft 2 will just run without them.
- Have a look at WAR2CD.BAT for an example on how to do this
- automatically, just run WAR2CD.BAT every time instead of
- WAR2.EXE.
-
- If you want to play Warcraft 2 on a computer that has no CD-ROM
- drive, such as a laptop, you don't ever have to run DETECTCD.
-
- If you have a lot of free drive space on such a computer, you
- could install all the speech and cut scene data onto the
- hard disk, you will need about 100MB free though.
- Make sure that DETECTCD knows where you have put the data.
- e.g. If you put the data in C:\WAR2CD\DATA, you will call
- DETECTCD C:\WAR2CD
- You will only have to run DETECTCD once, after transferring
- the files. If you later delete the files, run DETECTCD
- once again.
-
- If you have the Beyond the Dark Portal CD, you can now play
- all the levels from both episodes without having to put in
- your old Tides of Darkness CD. Yes, Blizzard put all
- the Tides of Darkness information on the Beyond the Dark
- Portal CD, but didn't tell anyone.
