Warcraft 3 1.24E Unicode Patch

[sengjung123]

For those who likes to play foreign war3 maps, eg: chinese, tamil, korean, etc etc.(though i have never seen a tamil map before)

Introducing
Unicode Patch for Warcraft 3 TFT.

3 ways to patch it:

---

1: Warcraft Version Switcher.

Link here.
(google if u must.)

---

2: Replacing Files.

Back up the following files:

Code: Select all

game.dll
storm.dll
war3.exe
war3patch.mpq

By backing up, you can either:
-copy paste the files to some other folder
-add .backup to the files (eg: game.dll ---> game.dll.backup)
(not sure .backup works or not, its just a theory.)

Then, extract the same files from the file here.

---

3: Potato.

Criteria:

• just plain lazy and don't want to do the steps above(like me)
• has loads of free space on your hard drive.(like me)
• (optional) using garena to play warcraft 3.(like me)

steps:
-make a duplicate of the ENTIRE warcraft III folder.
-rename it to warcraft III unicode.
-extract the same 4 files.
(if using garena) rename the executable settings to the one that your unicode is in, to run unifont wc3.

eg: original wc3 exe settings -> C:\Program Files\Warcraft III\War3.exe
your unicode patch wc3 folder: C:\Program Files\Warcraft IIIunifont
new wc3 exe settings -> C:\Program Files\Warcraft IIIunifont\War3.exe

nothing IMPORTANT!!

Spoiler:

after doing the steps above,
haiku:
get a potato
then, stir fry the potato
eat the potato

Can't you just use fontcraft to patch warcraft with a suitable font for a certain language though?

And lol, that mafia game. Wonder where monty went still.

but unicode's better, i think.

Imagine:
one patch to rule it all.

plus, its 1.24e, and won't crash while playing with others who don't have unifont too!

Easy bro, same shit effect but you need to tinker with registry files... For advanced users: enable "allow local files" for warcraft 3 in windows "regedit" then make a "Fonts" folder inside your Warcraft 3 folder, then place Arial MS Unicode there. Rename to "FRIZQT__.ttf"
