Hello, Welcome to Eurobattle.net Wiki - European Warcraft III PvPGN Server.

Installation requirements
- Windows XP SP3 or greater
- Warcraft III 1.28.5 (install in path that has only ASCII characters, not unicode! Especially for Turks and Br, you will have problems. No accents!)
- Eurobattle.net Client : Installer v9
- Visual C++ Redistributable 2015 x86 (Required by our Client)
- Visual C++ Redistributable 2013 x86 (Required by Warcraft III 1.27a+)
If you don't have the game, you can download it from our site
Installing Warcraft III
Unfortunately we are unable to provide direct game links at this time, you can:
1. Buy original CDs and patch to 1.28.5
2. Ask a friend
3. With "Download" button inside the client in "Warcraft" tab. Button will turn green and you need to wait for it to finish the download. You can click on the button again to cancel the download. Download is resumable. Only one version can be downloaded at a time. Files are stored in %appdata% directory. A dialog window will take you there on download completion.
Installing Eurobattle.net for new users or clean install
Eurobattle.net provides its services to all users, no matter if they have a licensed copy of the game or not. If you don't have the license keys, Eurobattle.net Client will provide you with temporary ones which will let you connect to our servers.
1) Make sure that you have Warcraft III 1.28.5 or 1.26a installed on your computer.
2) Download and install Visual C++ Redistributable 2013 and Visual C++ Redistributable 2015 x86 here or from the official Microsoft site unless you have them already. These frameworks are required in order to be able to use our Client.
3) Download the newest Eurobattle.net installer
4) Unzip the installer and launch it.
5) Progress through the installation, make sure to select the desired Warcraft III path and the path you want the Client to be installed to:
Note that the path MUST contain only English characters.
6) After the installation has been successfully completed, the Client's shortcut will appear on your desktop:
7) Launch the Client and wait patiently until it patches your game (if necessary). You might be asked to confirm the installation of patches (their size varies from ~50 MB to ~950 MB).
8) Lastly, add Eurobattle.net/gproxy.exe and Warcraft III/w3l.exe to the whitelist in your antivirus (especially Avast is notorious for removing the files silently).
In case you aren't able to connect to our servers or are experiencing other problems, check our Troubleshooting Section before posting in the Technical Support Board on forum.
For existing users
If you have Eurobattle.net Client already installed it should automatically update itself and the game on startup.
Upgrade from older versions to 1.28.5
Client should detect an autoupdate and update itself. Upon restart it will detect an outdated W3 version and try to update the game on it's own after you agree with the dialog. Simply wait a minute or so for the client to update your game to 1.28.5. Game autoupdate should work if you have no game mods and are using the English version of the game.
If quick update fails, client will ask you to do a full game upgrade instead. Full game upgrade downloads all essential game files and can take some time. You can either accept and wait or use Warcraft III Installer to update instead. You can always use the setup to update your game as long as the latest version on official battle.net is 1.28.5. After you update using Warcraft III Setup make sure to run installer v9 as well!
If you have non-english game, you should always use setup to upgrade if possible. If Eurobattle is on an older game version than official, you either need to use our full game upgrade and use english version or find correct files to downgrade your copy of the game yourself.

GHost hashes
1.28.5
Compile the latest version of bncsutil and vesioncheck should work without custom hashes. If you can't do that, here are the hashes:
bnet_custom_war3version = 28 bnet_custom_exeversion = 0 5 28 1 bnet_custom_exeversionhash = 201 63 116 96 bnet_custom_passwordhashtype = pvpgn
1.26a
bnet_custom_war3version = 26 bnet_custom_exeversion = 1 0 26 1 bnet_custom_exeversionhash = 39 240 218 47 bnet_custom_passwordhashtype = pvpgn
