[GProxy++] HOW TO

1. Presentation of GProxy++

You might experience deco on the bot, usually bot will say something like "ECONRESET", and you get pissed, because your internet connection didn't break, and everything is fine on your side, so you blame the bot, but the bot is not the one to blame
Actually, the blame is on warcraft III, and how warcraft III handle the connection with the remote server. It is your warcraft III client that thinks that you lost the connection and so kick you out of the game.
You have 180sec to reconnect, even if your router crashed, as soon as you get a new stable connection within 180sec you will get back into the game (I am not sure if you don't have a fixed IP adress, usually people have a fixed IP adress)

GProxy++ acts like a bridge :
Bot <-----internet----> GProxy++ <-----LAN----> Warcraft III

So Warcraft III connects to an emulated battle.net server, emulated by GProxy++, as the connection is LAN, it is perfectly stable, and so warcraft III will never think you got disconnected.
On his side, GProxy forwards all the requests between the Bot and Warcraft, and if the internet connection is cut, GProxy is better at maintaining the connection than Warcraft.

2. Set Up Of GProxy++

• Download and extract gproxygui_v1.1.zip anywhere
  
• Open gproxy.cfg with notepad and change the value of bnet_hostname to
  
  • uswest.battle.net for Lordaeron
  • useast.battle.net for Azeroth
  • asia.battle.net for Kalimdor
  • europe.battle.net for Northrend
• Run gproxy.exe as administrator
• Warcraft III should start, connect to Battle with the usual way (battle.net button)

3. Troubleshooting

I have a missing dll:
Install Package redistribuable Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 (x86)

I get kicked out of bnet when joining a game:
This is a bug to blame on GProxy, you must have entered the wrong game name

It doesnt work:
Gproxy should have added a realm in the list of realm (where you can choose between Northrend, Azeroth, etc ...). You should have a GProxy realm, you should connect to this one

Yeah, you have 180 sec to reconnect to the game, I guess your rooter took too long to get the Internet connection back

[l3f]

not sure, but I think after 60secs or so other players have the option to drop you. so, even though you make it after 60 but before 180 you still can't reconnect. Out of my 6-7 'minor' discs so far using it, only once a guy waited for me (while losing!) and I reconnected, gproxy couldn't do it in the others (all < 180sec)

[FML|Mage]

Correct, players still have the option to drop you after 45 seconds, or to use the vote kick feature. Or at least that's my understanding.

Thx for answers guys.
Just want to be sure GProxy works correct for me.

If you see [G] in front of game names in the game list, then your GProxy Works

I made an other thread a little bit more detailed, maybe we should merge them :

[SteppinRazor]

No you cannot, because Gproxy crashes with warcraft III

[rygorych]

ah ok I was testing with alt f4, but I guess I'm doing it wrong. I have to specifically DC from bnet, without closing war3, for it work, correct?
