Requirements:

• WinPCAP (It has been tested with version 4.0 to 4.0.2), get it here
• Important: please restart your pc after the driver install!
• Waaagh!TV Recorder
• To upload a game, you need an account for the homepage. That's all! However, in order for the games to appear in the games list, you have to create an organisation (check the user menu), and then request it to be certified. Non-certified games will only show up in the games archive and the individual user game lists.

Login data: IP: games.waaaghtv.com - Port: 10384 (not 10383!)

Step 1:

Leave battle.net (if you are loggend in) and start the recorder.
Choose your network device and press "Start listen".

Step 2:

Fill in your desired game name (better event-name, e.g. "inCup Final"). Beside the game name textfield is a "#1". This is the counter which indicates that this is your first game. It will automatically count up after every game, so you do NOT have to change it. The game name in the client would be "inCup Final #1", the game name of the second game would be "inCup Final #2" and so on. Apart from that you may also set up a delay for your game, in order to prevent cheating issues and/or to synchronise your game with a shoutcast.

Step 3:

Click on the server tab, enter the IP (or address), port, your username+password and press "Connect" (if you don't have a server account and you want to test the recorder locally, you may skip this step).

Step 4:

Now you are able to enter battle.net and join the game. If you set yourself to referee/observer, your "Recording state" will change to "Ready for game start".


The host may start the game now and your "Recording state" should once again change to "Recording".

When the game has ended and if you have recorded the game successfuly, your Recording state will say "Last game recorded + Searching for games". You can join the next game and record it. The recorder will automatically increase the counter in the game name by one.

Video Tutorial - Basic Installation, Configuration and Usage

WaaaghTV Recorder Tutorial from Ch W on Vimeo.

Windows Vista

The following only applies when using the Recorder under Vista.
The WaaaghTV Recorder works under Vista. However there are a few things to take care of.

WinpCap

You need the latest WinpCap Version 4.1+ is required. Winpcap cannot capture from all network devices with Windows Vista. Dialup devices like DSL modems, analogue modems or Alice DSL modems do not work (Fix for Alice Modems). This is a limitation of WinpCap, there is nothing we can do about it.

Adminstrator privileges

The Waaagh!TV Recorder needs be run with Adminstrator privileges. Right-click on the recorder and select "run as Administrator".

UploadAllWhenFinished

It is strongly recommended to set UploadAllWhenFinished=1 in the wtvRecorder.ini (see Issues). The Recorder tends to get stuck on "Uploading Last Game" under Vista a lot if UploadAllWhenFished is at 0.

Issues

The recorder has some known issues (and certaily some unknown).

• - Chat messages of players using a non-default port or an seperate connection to the recording computer (especially if the recording computer is able to host warcraft games) are not recorded.
• - There has to be at least one observer from the beginning on in the game
• - After game end the game upload will be paused until the statistics screen is quit resulting in a lag of data for all viewers. That can be solved by exiting the "Game over" and the statistics screen as soon as possible or (recommended, especially for games of (commonly) only small or medium interest) edit the .ini file the recorder creates after the first launchand set "UploadAllWhenFinished" to 1 instead of 0.
• - In case "UploadAllWhenFinished" is left at 0 you may not join the next game as long as the old upload is running. Else the last game will get broken at the end and your recorder will crash and has to be restarted.
• - Sometimes scanning the GGClient (Garena) port doesn't work. In that case edit the wtvRecorder.ini and set LastGGPort=1513. 1513 is the default port, if you configured GGClient (Garena) to use a different port you have to enter that port in the ini.
