Let's see, anyway, upnp thing is definitely the same, but i think i can get it myself: they use upnpc-static.exe it looks like working console application and it's opensource also.
Color fix could be similar that we need, not sure, but color fix should be the same or a little different.

The color fix we have doesn't work for everyone and gets screwed up with the custom banners.

Sure, color fix have to be refactored...

I have good news about uPNP, looks like that source code has just been built by me. I hope to release something working for uPNP in several days...

There are different ways to fix colors, no one works perfectly. This DirectDraw registry fix is one of them. The main problem is war2 is not only DirectDraw game, but also uses some more technologies, especially for chat with it's icons.
I think should do something like to write custom directdraw wrapper for war2 especially.

The creator of it has got back to me and said he will try to port it to warcraft 2 but not right now cause he is busy on other things.

I do have statistics on the % of community that had UPnP capable routers (that were enabled AND disabled) from when I ran War2Custom.  Of the 841 unique users that connected to the server 93% had UPnP capable routers.  Of that 93%, 78% were actually enabled.  These are based on numbers that are several years old and I would only expect that to increase as time progresses.  UPnP is better than nothing right now,  but a real solution is in the works that will make UPnP irrelevant ;)
