If you want source code or want to help, email me at yeah maybe thats it, got ati card and ive only just got the bloody driver to work You can also type ip and it will list the players' external ip addresses (if there are lanners, they will have the same ip). So you can type ping anytime, but if you want no time outs, you will have to wait about 30 seconds.ĥ. Why do I use both? Well, the ping program will timeout on people with improper configurations, but the echos will always work. When you type ping it will use the ping program for a client if there has not been any echos yet, which take 30 seconds or so to start. For clarity, snoopy has two methods of pinging: the program ping and using Warcrafts' built in echos. To ping players, minimize to the terminal running snoopy and type ping. It needs to be running before clients join or it wont catch them, so start it sometime before you start a game.Ĥ. So it is safe to enter your password when prompted.ģ.

Though under development it currently has one useful feature: the ability to ping. It is a utility to help host games in Warcraft III (especially DotA). Wine 1.0 patched for Warcraft III is now in the repository for both Hardy and Gutsy.Īlso in the repository now is a project I have started that is still under heavy development called snoopy. Thus the source code on my repository is what those packages are built from thus preventing me from secretly distributing unsafe code. You are only allowed to upload signed source to the repository and they build it. Usually you should not trust unsigned repositories, but the structure of uploading to PPA makes such repositories more secure. To remove my version of wine, remove the lines you added to /etc/apt/sources.list and run the following:Ī note on the security of this repository: PPA repositories are not signed repositories. Sudo apt-get remove wine & sudo apt-get install wine Then remove your older version of wine and install the one from my repository: Then run the following from terminal to make apt aware of the new repository: Note: If you have the repository from WineHQ enabled, you should disable that repository to prevent conflicts.

Plus by producing packages rather than just compiling from source, it makes it easier to update and remove the packages.

With the interest people seem to have in running Warcraft 3 through wine and the need for patches to get it to run well as seen in this how to post() I felt providing a PPA repository for these packages might be appreciated by some people who feel lost when building packages.
