[mansnicks]

Is there a patch like that?????
yes indeed :happy:
i found it out when i was logging in to northrend. it auto-download the patch :oops:

[PROTOZZ]

Y,there is.It has been released few hours ago!
Here it is switcher from 1.23 to 1.24
More information at :


[edited by tp_moonstar] dont pull 1.24 links.. it might confuse people arround.

[TP_MoonStar]

Look.. here's the thing..

The patch is totally unneed for us and users who play here... it's mostly a map maker patch however you will not be able to connect here with 1.24 YET.


Wer're still thiking if we allow this patch as optional patch or make it as oficial one here.

Installer + loader + appl and everything else is done and ok but i dont plan on allowing 1.24 yet since blizzard pretty much ****ed up releasing whiout letting notice ;/ LOTS of maps bugs so i rather wait a little bit :)


Sorry for bad english but i'm tired now.

Take care,

[Thorun]

ADDITIONAL
• “Shadowing” global variables with local variables no longer is possible.
• Fixed a type conversion dealing with operators (i.e. adding a handle with an integer)
• Added the ability to store hashtable handles in a hashtable
• Added getSpellTargetX and getSpellTargetY natives
• Added a new base handle type “Agent” of which many types now extend from.
• Added a SaveAgentHandle native which can be used for saving most handle types
• Added a JASS optimization dealing with global variable change events.
• Increased max map file size from 4MB to 8MB.

These are only improvements concering JASS and the famouse "hack" exploit. Completely useless for the server.

Still, server should be upgraded anyway, for watching replays from other servers and other related stuff.

[LOGiStiK]

Map size increased from 4 to 8. Nice, this way we can put .mp3's in the map and still have around 3-4mb for custom stuff.

There have been a lot of questions about 1.24 and DotA, so I'm going to take the time here to answer them.

A new warcraft patch has been released with the focus on fixing a bug that could cause you to get a virus when joining a game. As a result of this, some core Warcraft 3 functions that are used in DotA and most other maps had to be removed. To make up for the significant loss in functionality, new replacement functions were also added to the patch.

Some confusion comes from the fact that some maps like 6.59d work under 1.24. This is only partially true. There is nothing special about those maps, 1.24 is configured to run some maps in temporary 1.23 compatibility mode while 1.24 is further developed. The patch has not been properly configured to run 6.61b in this mode, so 6.61c will be released. That map has no changes except the version string.

As a result of the function changes, maps are not cross compatible between 1.24 and pre-1.24. A lot of code in has to be rewritten for maps to become compatible with 1.24. The next version of DotA (6.62) has all of its code updated to follow the 1.24 requirements.

As of right now, 1.24 still has various bugs in it's functions that prevent most 1.24 maps from running properly on it. As these issues get fixed in coming 1.24b/1.24c patches, 6.62 beta will be updated alongside them. As soon as the new patch is stable and 6.62 is tested on it sufficiently, it will be released. Hopefully the map will return to a stable code state in the very near future.

Once the 6.62/1.24 situation is over, regular map development will resume. The versions that follow it will most likely focus primarily on balance improvements and performance tweaks.

For people that cannot easily do multiple patch upgrades (net cafes for example), I recommend you wait until 1.24b/c is released before undergoing that effort.

If something isn't clear, feel free to PM me and I'll try to answer it.

Looks like, if you don't update = new dota maps wont run on your server :)

[mansnicks]

#9 even better than that:

1.24 will most likely be compatible with 6.61c sometime tomorrow, hopefully earlier in the day rather than later.
most likely that means that if you dont update server to 1.24 patch, then you can't play 6.61c tommorow :D

http://www.playdota.com/forums/14932/1-24-questions-answered/

[Taz.]

But 6.61b = 6.61c

the c is just to make it compatible with 1.24

On xpam keep playing 6.61b until we update.

[Cen]

But 6.61b = 6.61c


yea, exactly

This means server doesn't need an update until icefrog releases new version with some changes. :)

[Bloodlaus]

ARE YOU KIDDING?? You cant tell me that you only wait to update the server only because of freaking DotA? I cant believe it... Me and some others accidentally got the new patch because we loged in for some people in normal battlenet, but unlike me some of them cant delete wc3 and install 1.23 again because they cant finde CD or Keys. There are other nice maps beside of DotA (i even wouldnt call dota nice) which are wanted to play, so i beg for mercy and serverupdate.

[Mitsuki]

Yes, eurobattle.net crew is just a bunch of jokers. Every magic and trick requires some preparations. Be patient.

But the C works on 1.23

[HELRAISER]

Well despite being HUGE fun of Dota and being VERY happy that there will be no really problem with it, there are more maps that i like to play, and they update to 1.24.

Problem with 1.23->1.24 is that many older versions of maps wont work on 1.24... Is a double-edged knife kinda....

Maybe make 1.23 and 1.24 both patch work on eurobattle?

[Painkiller03]

Guys, i have reinstalled wc3 frozen throne then used the 1.24 patch directly cuz i didn't have 1.23a and the patch runs ok..So how what should i download to play battle.net?

[Win_Natural]

Lots of ppl want 1.24 upgr on eurobattle. Moon, or other admin, can u give us a date ? when will eurobattle 1.24 upgraded ? Thx.

[MiZiGe]

it is not the question of when, more "why". As TP_Moonstar said, it is completely unnecessary for us.

[TBK.Goldy]

It's because they want to play the new Dotinha that works only on 1.24, or am i mistaken...

edit: i'm not mistaken. Exhibit A: ^^

[LOGiStiK]

6.62 is hugely bugged.
6.62b is mega bugged.
Just for your info.

It's not about dota only ... For eg. : if we want to dl and watch some 1.24 replays [of normal game] we can't on 1.23. That's why i'm asking for a date :tiphat:

[billa104]

then by the way, there will be no update to the new patch?
and if so, please give a specific date.

[CroNichaR]

You should see when the real not bugged 1.24 patch will be released then you'll be able to know when will server run on 1.24 patch (maybe not even then)

Well man just download switcher ... google it (http://www.dota-utilities.com/2009/08/warcraft-version-switcher-patch-123-124.html)

[xsuperloadx]

I'm for update too. I'd like to play new TBR 2.0b version, switcher is useless, you can't play it in singleplayer mode. I't also works only for 1.24 patch.

I don't know if you are serious with "we will never update" attitude, new version of maps will start (already started) to use hash tables and I doubt they will make 2 versions (one for 1.23). Soon there will be obsolete maps everywhere.

[CroNichaR]

xsuperloadx why should server go on beta version that is still testing and has a lot of bugs just because you like to play maps that works only on 1.24??

[BloodMen]

y i agree with cronichar i think its better play games without bugs ..

[xsuperloadx]

1.24 patch isn't mandatory on battlenet? I don't own original game so I can't tell. If it isn't or it's bugged beta then I apologize.

[Antinamespoofer]

May I ask when are you planing the update? I have a problem with garena-eurobattle tournaments, lot of ppl has already the newer version and I do not have much time for downgrading and upgrading. So If you already know If it is going to be in some months / next year? Thanks.

[TheDevilInMissJ]

War Craft 3 is the easiest game in the world to get cracked u find it on all torrent sites and most of the versions work in copy paste
but if u do copy paste an earlier version of war e.g 1.20 or any older version u wont have the install path in the reg in order to update all u have to do then is run regedit find hkeycurrentuser/blizzardentertainment/warcraftIII then right click new string value make it installpath and type the path of your warcraft 3 very simple my self i have the game in 3 locations 1 is 1.23 one is 1.24 and anothe is 1.07

[Night_Demon]

Guys is 1.24 allready updated ?? Because i cant join eurobattle.net cant enter....!?!?

[philansel]

yes me 2 i cant join!! yesterday had to w8 the whole day to play and today it was fine i played one game and i start d/c and getting huge ms 11 345 lol?? well can some1 help?? me cant join !!

[Night_Demon]

Come on is 1.24 updated or WHAT ?!?!?!?! because we cant join server...Or maintance again?!

[Psykeeper]

There is simple reason why should EuroBattle.net get updated to 1.24...every new DotA is going to work only on 1.24.Sorry for bad english :P

[CroNichaR]

Psykeeper actually new DotA maps don't work on 1.24 patch ...
You haven't tried to play them on 1.24 and you're only concluding that you will be able to play them, they are made for normal 1.24 patch and not beta version that you think of...

[TBK.Goldy]

Pls guys... have some consideration for our developers team (moon shakar etc)... they want to make this server even better by including some new pictures and new stuff aswell as the new patch... so be patient... let them work their job... and i promise you won't be disappointed.

Anyhow, the new dota versions are the SAME as the old ones... the difference is in the fact that those JASS orders changed due to the new patch...

so pls chillax, and stop spam useless posts with childish comments.

[Shakar]

you don't need to worry, we are only 1 step away from upgrading.

If all goes right, this weekend EuroBattle.Net will be upgraded to 1.24b.
