TorchCraft WINE Server

Instructions

1. Installing Wine

  • On Ubuntu (confirmed on 14.04 and 16.04)
    • sudo apt-get install wine
  • On Mac (confirmed on 10.12.1)
    • brew install wine winetricks

Warning: Chaoslauncher was only tested to work on wine1.6. For most non-ubuntu distributions you must compile from scratch. However, you can still use the server through bwheadless.

Installing Starcraft

  • Download the game at https://eu.battle.net/
  • Wait for StarCraft to download Wine ~/Downloads/Downloader_StarCraft_Combo_enGB.exe
  • Run setup.exe and install the game in some folder (C:/StarCraft is suggested/) via Wine
    • $STARCRAFT will be from now on the installation directory export STARCRAFT=~/.wine/drive_c/StarCraft
  • Download 1.16.1 patch at https://eu.battle.net/support/en/article/classic-game-patches
    • Make sure you download the Brood War patch.
  • wine BW-1161.exe
  • Enjoy a game 🎉

winetricks -q vcrun2013

# Download latest release of BWAPI at https://github.com/bwapi/bwapi/releases
wget https://github.com/bwapi/bwapi/releases/download/v4.2.0/BWAPI_420_Setup.exe
wine BWAPI_420_Setup.exe
# INSTALL THIS TO C:\StarCraft\BWAPI

# Install TorchCraft
cd $STARCRAFT
git clone https://github.com/TorchCraft/TorchCraft.git
bash TorchCraft/quick_setup.sh

Running AIModule

Notes

  • You can just copy a copy of Starcraft over from a Windows installation if you want.
    • BWAPI should be installed into StarCraft/BWAPI
    • Registry keys need playing with: default settings can be applied with regedit docker/common/regkeys. If you messed around with the install path, then system.reg should have something like: 
      [Software\\Wow6432Node\\Blizzard Entertainment\\Starcraft] 1478814272
"GamePath"="C:\\StarCraft\\Starcraft.exe"
"InstallPath"="C:\\StarCraft\\"
  • Other operating systems:
    • Sometimes, you need to emulate a virtual desktop: $ wine /desktop=foo, 800x600 bwheadless.exe -e $STARCRAFT/StarCraft.exe -l bwapi-data/BWAPI.dll --headful
  • If the auto-menu doesn’t work for maps:
    • Run everything from the $STARCRAFT folder
    • Make sure you have vcrun2013 installed through winetricks
    • Make sure winecfg shows that msvcp120 and msvcr120 are being used, and other versions of msvcp are not.
