Window Mode for WarCraft 2!

[Delete mine too]

Files ripped from dxwnd project for warcraft 2.

1. Make a backup copy of ddraw.dll from the warcraft 2 folder.
2. Replace it with this one and the config file.
3. Load warcraft 2 and enjoy window mode!

 

This also helps a little bit with windows 8. It is still messed up but i can see icons and bnet is shifted like it is running in the normal screen resolution defaults for war2. But game play, lobby is perfect.

I get war2 windowed in one screen and the black chat window outside of the war2 640*480 window...

Battle.net is buggy but game play and lobby is perfect.

Is this actually useful for anything?

- Not useful for gameplay (resolution too small)
- Not useful for chat (just use stealthbot)

Maybe if theres a way to resize the window it is in that would be cool

Can't really use WineD3D on Windows because it likes to ONLY use ~16 colors in 256 color mode

However,
[http:] //www.bitpatch.com/downloads/war2_ddraw_test.zip
is basically the same idea as what is done with the wine patch for War2BNE.

It attempts to ports the game to 32bpp and defeat DWM Desktop Composition.
I haven't yet added fullscreen back to it... because I don't like the Transparent Blit concept this uses.

in-game screens-shots should work normally except there won't be a screen flash when a ss is taken...  Screen-shots of the Battle.net screen won't work, instead use Alt+PRTSC and paste it into mspaint.
