Warcraft II Battle NET Edition with fixes for Windows 7 by mudlord. This is a complete rip of the game. All single player components of the game are intact. It is *not* intended for multiplayer, so if you want multiplayer, buy the game. Via heavy modification of the game, I saved around 300MB of the original image size while keeping everything. Go to c: Games Warcraft II and edited the WAR2.INI so that the cdpath=e: Then in Dosbox type 'mount e 'C: Games Warcraft II' -t cdrom' so that it believes it the cdrom.

So I used the 'Ra7ven's Installer' for Windows for 'Tides of Vengence' and I am now slightly confused of how to apply 'Beyond the Dark Portal' expansion to this?
Thanks in advance!
Thanks in advance!

well i'm using the iso and burning it to a disk for tides of darkness and it seems to work just fine im attempting bdp ring now oh and i'm using 32 bit windows xp so ha suckers i don't need dosbox or boxxer or no virtual machine

There's an easier way to mount than writing long command lines.. I use power iso, so I've mounted my virtual drive (F:) as drive D: in dosbox . Just mount the image to your virtual drive and ur all set.. don't forget to add the mount commands to dosbox conf file so that u don't need to mount drives everytime u open dosbox.

Instructions for Mac using Boxer instead of dosbox (+expansion +patch)
-Download warcraft 2 + expansion as ISO
-The files here are actually bin/cue files not ISO, boxer won't read them, Mac won't mount them.
-Convert bin file to ISO for both war2 and expansion. I did this in windows using magicIso shareware version. I tried first with winIso and PowerISO, neither worked.
-Place both new ISO files in your Mac filesystem in 'users/your_username' folder
-rename the ISO files to war2.iso and war2e.iso (you might want to go to finder advanced preferences and show all file extensions so you don't mess them up)
-Open boxer, go to import game, drag the war2 ISO to Boxer
-let it install in its default settings and location, choosing sound blaster 16 for your sound cards, then finish importing.
-open the new Boxer game file you just made, get it to the dos prompt (don't run the game yet)
-Boxer auto mounts this disc for you now in Drive D. type 'mount -u d' to unmount it.
-now type 'imgmount d ~/war2e.iso -t ISO' and it should give you a successful mount message. FYI boxer lets dos see your filesytem starting from users/username when you type '~/' so that's why it sees the war2e.iso there. Make sure to use the Mac filesystem forward slash for this particular directory location, not the Microsoft ' backslash.
-You should have a blank c: line on your prompt still. Type 'd:' to navigate to the war2e image you mounted. Type setup to install the expansion, use default settings, it should see your original install in c: still.
-quit boxer
-download the Warcraft 2 expansion patch from this site. Go to your boxer game directory, right click Warcraft 2 app and show package contents, drop that patch into its c drive.
-run the Warcraft 2 boxer app, run the patch by typing 'war2ptch.exe' or whatever the patch file is called.
-type war2 to run the game. When you quit boxer earlier, it should have remounted the original disc automatically and it should read as a genuine disc and let you access all single player features with expansion and patch

Hi guys,
Can anyone help me, please? I have managed to successfully install WC2 and the expansion BTDP, but I am not able to run the game. After the installation, it was running smoothly, but I can't get it started. I didn't even have to crack the game. Using Alcohol 120% tool for image mounting.
Game directory:
C:/wc2
image drive E:/
WAR.INI
cdpath=e:/
Could you please send me a printscreen from the DOSBOX - step by step?
email: [email protected]

Hello, I too can't seem to be able to run the expansion. More precisely, I am not sure how to run the installation process itself, as putting the files in the game's folder doesn't affect it in any way (it still simply runs Tides of Darkness).
Can anyone help me, please?

Think of RIP version as the minimal install. You can play the game but without extra graphics, cut scenes, sounds, etc. You can run the program with just the RIP version. To get the extras, download the ISO files and out them in the same folder as the RIP files.
IWasNeverReallyOnyourside2016-12-03-4 points
What is RIP version?
Chris2016-11-20-1 point
Hey Proud, would just like to say thanks! Your directions were the only ones that helped me get BTDP started. Most appreciated.
gaviao2016-10-070 point
Hi, I can't seem to make the BTDP expansion to work, must be doing something wrong. For the TOD i used these instructions:
How to, Windows 10:
1. Unpack the RIP version. Rename the unpacked folder to something easy like W2.
(I will be using path c:gamesw2)
2. Unpack the ISO version and copy both .bin and .cue files to the new W2 folder. Not the folder, just the two files!
3. Start DosBox.
mount c c:gamesw2
c:
w2crack (And yes to both overwrites)
mount f c:gamesw2 -t cdrom
war2cd
Do this and the CdRom issue should not happen. This is because the crack changes the path in the .ini file to 'nothing'. So if your path is like c:gamesw2Cd or whatever for the cd, it wont work and thats why most dont get it working via other comments here.
You only need to do the crack part once.
!! After !! that the standard steps would be:
mount c c:gamesw2
mount f c:gamesw2 -t cdrom
c:
war2cd
Would appreciate the help, thank's

*Correction:
In step #4, I meant to say 'loaded', not what I actually said which was ' loadedcdse'

D-Man2016-09-223 points
Here is how I did it:
My game folders are:
w2cd = wc2_tod
w2 = game files (Game folder inside of wc2_tod folder)
wc2-btdp = wc2_btdp game files
Step 1)
Make sure wc2-btdp folder is in w2 folder
Here is what I did after that:
2) once done, goto step 3
3) Drag w2cd folder onto DoxBox (App Icon)
4) Once in Doxbox has loadedcdse, follow next step
5) type in cd w2 (warcraft games folder)
6) Run detectcd.exe
7) it will ask you which one to detect
8) type in detectcd C:w2wc2-btdp
9) type cd wc2-btdp, run setup.exe
10) Run war2.exe
11) Select Single Player Mode
Viola! It will be there!
- And the game should run perfectly, giving you the option of which
game to select.
To run the game a 2nd time after the intial run, follow steps 3-9 and instead of running setup.exe, just run war2.exe
I got a working version of BTDP from a different website, I don't remember which one though.
Sorry.

Okay so I tried following Proud's steps but when I get to the install from my virtual drive it keeps telling me incorrect or missing WAR2.EXW in directory. I've renamed my TOD folder to WAR2 to keep things simple. I've had no problems with the base TOD game I just can't seem to figure out how to get BTDP to work. I downloaded both TOD and BTDP from this site. any ideas?

what if you get an error when you try to run the install ?
I keep getting an error because I'm using a 64-bit OS

Proud2016-03-141 point
for those that need help with getting this to work hes what i did. used the RIP from WC2:Tod from here.
1.First mount the parent dir of your war2 rip to c: (i.e. my rip folder was c:warcraft2todwar2)
z:mount c c:warcraft2tod
2. mount the expansion image with your virtual drive program then mount it in dosbox ( my virtual drive is h:)
z:mount d h:
3. run the install on the disk. if you put the parent dir for warcraft2 as c: then the default install path (C:WAR2) should be fine (you may have to rename the RIP folder to war2 or you can replace WAR2 with whatever the folder is named)
z:d:
d:install.exe
4. now for the fun part (and the reason you need the RIP to do it my way). first unmount your d:
d:z:
z: mount -u d
then remount it like this (once again my virtual drive is h:)
z:mount d h: -t cdrom switch
now get into the RIP folder (once again this is my path and since c is mount to the parent already)
z:c:
c:cdwar2
c:war2
5. the important part. run the detectcd.exe file in the RIP folder for the drive you mounted you virtual drive to (in this case i mount d: as h:)
c:war2detectcd.exe d:
should display:
WARCRAFT 2 DETECT CD V1.0 - by PiXIE 96/10/11
c:war2
6. just type war2 to play.
now if you want to play the old campaign just mount the original image ( or disk if you have it) to d: using the same -t cdrom switch, do the detectcd and run war2.
1.First mount the parent dir of your war2 rip to c: (i.e. my rip folder was c:warcraft2todwar2)
z:mount c c:warcraft2tod
2. mount the expansion image with your virtual drive program then mount it in dosbox ( my virtual drive is h:)
z:mount d h:
3. run the install on the disk. if you put the parent dir for warcraft2 as c: then the default install path (C:WAR2) should be fine (you may have to rename the RIP folder to war2 or you can replace WAR2 with whatever the folder is named)
z:d:
d:install.exe
4. now for the fun part (and the reason you need the RIP to do it my way). first unmount your d:
d:z:
z: mount -u d
then remount it like this (once again my virtual drive is h:)

z:c:
c:cdwar2
c:war2
5. the important part. run the detectcd.exe file in the RIP folder for the drive you mounted you virtual drive to (in this case i mount d: as h:)
c:war2detectcd.exe d:
should display:

Art for Warcraft II: Battle.net Edition on GOG.COM.
Warcraft II: Battle.net Edition is a Battle.net-enabled version of Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness, with the expansion Warcraft II: Beyond the Dark Portal built in. It was released on September 30, 1999.[1] This is essentially the same as Warcraft II, but it allows for usage on Battle.net, and, unlike its offline counterparts, does require a CD Key to install.
On March 28, 2019, Blizzard partnered with GOG.com and released it digitally for the first time.[2]
Overview
The game features many upgrades and enhancements over the original version. Features from StarCraft, such as right-click commands for units, and queuing multiple units for production, were implemented. The game was also ported to be natively supported under Windows, unlike the original game which ran under DOS. A fix for newer processors was included so regardless of how fast your processor was, the screen scroll speed was consistent; unlike the original version which was meant to be run on a 486 processor and when running on a modern processor, the screen scroll speed was too fast.
The original version of Warcraft II supported online play, but only through IPX protocol, and not the TCP/IP protocol which became standard after its release. Many players used the paid-for program Kali, which emulated an IPX network over the internet and allowed people to play it easily online. Warcraft II: Battle.net Edition added support for Battle.net.
Upgrades
Other upgrades and enhancements over the original game include:
- Ability for up to eight players to compete over Battle.net using 'Spawning' technology from one CD.
- Automatic map passing over Battle.net.
- Implementation of Top vs. Bottom multi-player template.
- Shared Vision in multi-player games.
- Improved game set-up, game options, dropping of players and inclusion of Battle.net chat.
- Game speed is set prior to a Battle.net game beginning, and cannot be changed.
- Incorporation of the 3 Pauses per player/per game rule.
- Assigning and selection of Groups through # keys.
