Warcraft III TFT replays

I was curious if there is a way to watch old replays on a newer version of WCIII TFT? Or is it as I fear and you can only watch replays on whatever version you currently have installed? I keep a couple of installs so that I can watch old replays, but I wanted to post some here, as I saw others doing the same. Also is there a way to dl older patches? And if none of that is possible is there free or relatively cheap software that could video capture/record what is on my screen, as a cheap last resort? Any help is greatly appreciated.

I'm confused as to what you're requesting in the first part of your post. However, as for video capture I believe there's a program called FRAPS. I've never used it as I have little need for recording what I do on the computer, although I've heard it suffices.

When you watch a replay that is from a previous version of warcraft, say 1.18, then the updated version won't let you watch the replay.

As far as I know, there is no way.

You can get a free version of Fraps, which I've used, but it only records 30 secs at a time. You can, however, record as many as you want, so if you're willing to patch them together in Windows Movie Maker, then use it, else pay a small price for the full version. Unlimited recording :)

>"I'm confused as to what you're requesting in the first part of your post", Varine.

I think I got the first part of my question answered, thanks guys. What I am refereeing to here is that when you play battle.net online it automatically upgrades you with the latest patch, thus making old replays recorded prior to the patch incompatible with the new upgrade. They cannot be viewed. I am praying that there is a way around this, however, with what I know so far this is pretty much wishful thinking. 5x + Rep if anyone can genuinely help me get around this. I have some killer replays, but seems odd to circulate them; no one would want to revert to older version just to watch.

>Thanks Chocobo. I didn't have those links, though I already keep a couple of installs just for the purpose of watching old replays. I am looking for something that others would find less cumbersome in order to watch some of my older replays.

>Ninja_sheep, thanks man. If those work that might get me one step closer, and it is the closest thing I've seen so far in making it easy to switch back without having to reinstall. Unfortunately it's still a 50 megabit file and that is a lot to ask someone to download. If I can get that to work for me, I will totally plus rep you. I don't know if it works yet, or if others would be willing to try it. I'll post back later.

watch old replays,how to switch by hand,patches,downloads,versions,ROC,TFT

I was asked several times, how to watch old replays. So I spend some time to prepare this:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

how I do it:

later version:
- download the patch you want to use
- use the patch

earlier version:
- copy a war3.exe, which is older than the patch you want to use, and paste (overwrite!) it into your Warcraft III folder
- download the patch you want to use
- use the patch

1.10 special:
- copy all 1.07 files and paste (overwrite!) them into your Warcraft III folder
- copy all 1.10 files and paste (overwrite!) them into your Warcraft III folder

1.11 special:
- copy all 1.07 files and paste (overwrite!) them into your Warcraft III folder
- copy all 1.10 files apart of war3.exe and paste (overwrite!) them into your Warcraft III folder
- use patch 1.11

1.12 special:
- copy all 1.07 files and paste (overwrite!) them into your Warcraft III folder
- copy all 1.10 files apart of war3.exe and paste (overwrite!) them into your Warcraft III folder
- use patch 1.11
- use patch 1.12

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All these files are for WarCraft III - The Frozen Throne - English and come from different sources (Blizzard, GameFront, GamersHell, ingame and from users). I renamed them all to make it as consistent and obvious as possible:

- Blizzard never released a stand-alone 1.10 patch
- ROC1.10 won't work, TFT1.10 shows up instead of ROC1.10 after starting Warcraft_III.exe
- all downloaded 1.13b patches don't work for me
- there is a difference between (some?) replays of patch 1.14 and 1.14b
- there is a difference between (some?) replays of patch 1.20 before and after d
- there is a difference between (some?) replays of patch 1.24 before and after c
- patches fail when there is a comma in the path

    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
