Notably it’s before the data migration of 1.28 which changed the locations of game files, and it doesn’t auto update to Reforged like 1.31 did for so many people. It’s the most “pure” version since the classic team started updating the game and therefore has the least amount of changes and bugs. So if anyone was ever paranoid about this, I think this is a nice way to ensure that what you download here on Hive can be independently verified (by me, at least) to be the original game program from Blizzard.As a few others have said I like 1.27, at least for single player where map size limits aren’t of concern. Notably, these hashes from my own backup exactly match the Hive's Patch 1.29.2 backup in every way (except that I don't have a bncache.dat file).
That means the 6 item slots aren't hardcoded at all and they've changed it in the past. Last but not least, somewhere was mentioned that you need to set the date back to ~2002 to start some patch.Īnyone with reverse engineering knowledge is welcome to participate and bring the betas aliveĮDIT & PS: 2001 ECTS video gameplay demo : One for the CD check for each patch and another for the installer. Still, if anyone is seriously interested in exploring those versions, I guess we need to recreate cr. I'm gonna see if the betas support -loadfile to start a map in singleplayer without any hacks.
However there is a nice list of all known beta versions and a tool to play the beta versions on a custom PvPGN server (is it the correct name?) Unfortunately some links were removed and nothing was archived. I found this useful thread about RoC beta and TFT beta (aka Warcraft 3 Expansion Beta) here: Warcraft 3 Beta - BetaArchive
