Terminal Help Please!

[cheesytoe10]

I am trying to get Warcraft III custom kick working in terminal then in X11... but i tried doing what you have to do for Autorefresh
the file for autorefresh is WarcraftIIIAutoRefresh.exe

This is the Code for Autorefresh:

cp (file that i dragged in)  .autoref.exe

but i cant figure out what to replace .autoref.exe with for Custom kick.
The file for Custom kick is W3XCustomkick.exe
because ive tried .customk.exe, and many others... how do i find out what im supposed to type for certain programs please help.

Thanks Cheesytoe! =)

.exe files are Windows executables, they aren't going to work on a Mac.

First off what are you asking?

Are you asking how to copy files or how to rename files or or how to modify some game you want to play? The shell command you showed us could have been done just as easy using Finder. You don't need the terminal to copy or rename a file.

Also, are these .exe files Windows executables? If sohow are you going to run them on a mac? I can think or four ways you might be trying.

He could be using Wine. I hear it works. WarcraftIII is on Wine's "gold list"

but im trying to get it to work as mono... in X11.. like they did for Autorefresh...

but how would i do that... thanks

(Actually yeah i do use Wine... but i mostly use CrossOver its hella good for me... works with lots of programs even steam)

Hi,

I'm the author of this tutorial... the line that says cp ... .autoref.exe is just a making a copy of the file in your home directory as invisible file... what really matters is then setting "mono .autoref.exe" in X11. just duplicate these steps, and replace .autoref.exe by whatever you copier the file to, and you should be good to go...

This only works if the original .exe application has been written in .NET though, so I can't say for sure whether it will work.
