Hint: Watch replays in a window

[Kaini]

I noticed (again) that lots of poeple don't know that they can watch replays in a window.

Simply start the Frozen Throne.exe with the -window parameter.

The most easy way to do this in Windows is write a small *.bat file. Maybe you have to change the path. (Tested, should work.) Filename must be something.bat not .bat.txt!

Edit: Thanks to jolin he found a mistake

@echo off

C:

cd "C:\Programme\Warcraft III\"

"Frozen Throne.exe" -window

For Linux users this small shellscrips works, maybe you have to change the path. (Tested by me, should work)

#!/bin/bash

cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Programme/Warcraft\ III

wine Frozen\ Throne.exe -window

You can chat...

You can write into a textfille...

You can watch and do something different...

while you watch the replay.

sorry reading my post over it seems a bit arrogant/condescending.

I agree this is useful *thumbs up*

or...

you make a shortcut and write that command in there

gl hf

Alternatively, you could make a shortcut on your desktop, click properties, and change

 "C:\Program Files\Warcraft III\Frozen Throne.exe"

into

"C:\Program Files\Warcraft III\Frozen Throne.exe" -window

So the shortcut would always start window version. You could name this shotcat Warcraft windowed or something

This is relevant if you play on a Mac, but Command+M will put WC3 into windowed mode. Pretty useful for replays, but the mouse cursor gets a bit crazy if you scroll off the WC3 screen so not really recommended for actual playing. Not sure if any mac users didn't already know this, but this seemed a good place to throw it out there.
