War2PLoader released - UPNP and more

[iL]

why does war2ploader call wppatch?

The main thing for that moment was UPNP, I prefer to release it as fast as possible, to add wppatch featuers into the new loader later. I'll do it later and then it will not call wppatch.

renaming Wppatch worked

beep fixed when launching warploader

That's great! Nice to resolve the problem

The new loader worked for me.  People were not able to join my game ever, aside from my friend, who would manage to get in every once in a while.  After I tried the loader, I hosted a game and a bunch of people got in.

The only problem now is that neither my WarVideo or Insight recognize the game as Warcraft 2.  They don't work for me with that loader, so I am unable to record games.

Time to join the 21st century and stream instead

iL:  player gklemenc tried the hosting fix and it did not work for him... let me know if you saw any errors or anything else that can help

[GaNzTheLegend]

so far it seems to have a pretty high success rate, it should be added to the download asap

[I hate naggers]

well it wont solve anything if some1 doesnt have external ip or upnp on the router

so basically this just fixes hosting for people who cannot figure out how to port forward?

kinda like a program that does it for them?

No IGD UPnP Device found on the network.

Sure, UPNP will be one of options in the new war2 loader.

exactly, you still need external ip (dynamic or static) to host games.
If you have it, but use upnp-compatible router between you and your ISP, that is the only situation when this upnp feature will be useful for you.

generally yes.
