My name is Kenneth and I write cool Mac and iPhone software. This is my personal weblog where I post about stuff I find interesting. I usually write about Mac development, the business of shareware and the Mac community in general.

However, it’s still quite a clunky hack, and many commenters have been unable to get it work smoothly. Even I gave up on it when I upgraded to Leopard.
Introducing Warmonger
Warmonger is a Mac-like autorefresh bot for Warcraft III. It does that and only that, but it does it well, reliably and most importantly, natively.
Warmonger is completely free, too.
Using Warmonger is easy: Create a game on Battle.net, switch to Warmonger and hit Refresh, get back to War3 and enjoy your autorefreshing game.
Warmonger knows to stop automatically when your game starts. Once it’s launched, you don’t even have to worry about it anymore. It really is that simple.

Add your thoughts!
Does this work on anything below Leopard?
Tried to boot it on OS X 10.4.11, with no success.
Nope – I should’ve mentioned it but this requires Leopard. You can still try the old tutorial which was written on Tiger.
You’ll probably get banned for using this. Wouldn’t try it.
Autorefresh bots are perfectly legal by Battle.net rules and have been used for years. There’s no risk involved.
i need a banlist and a spoofer
and custom kick
Yeah, works great.
Bots just need a shorter delay to leave the game
And need banlist
Hey, I am using Mac 10.4.11 and I downloaded the thing but when I open it up, nothing happens. Help!
Warmonger requires Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard minimum.
Awwww damnit. Think you can make one for lower? I use ar.py but it’s really slow
Tiger is getting old, I think it’s time to upgrade
. I don’t have any 10.4 install left to test on, so I’m afraid Leopard will remain the minimum.
How much is an upgrade :P
$129 on the Apple Store, although you may find it for cheaper on Amazon.
Okay, thanks :D
Do you know if theres anyway to speed up the rate of the auto refresh ar.py?
your my hero, thanks man, really.
cheers man. it works awesome.
have you ever thought about figuring out how to make delay reducer work?
Thanks alot great job. Saved me time from doing this myself. Are you working on any other bot projects? Cheers~
awesome bot!
i agree with hazza
you should really make a delay reducer 4 mac
AWESOME!!! NOW I CAN HOST!
You rock Kenneth!!!
This rocks thanks man I’ve been needing this.
Thanks a lot !
Should you update it ?
Man i love this!. Now all i need is some way to see the latency of the people thats joining my game.
i have to press refresh for it to refresh it doesnt automatically do it. what do i do?
Hey,
Can you write a delay reducer?? or some kind of LAN hostin 3rd party program..because people are sayin due to the mac’s parameters we can’t have 3rd party programs but this is obviously not true if this refresher works. btw i like it alot thx
Yo, I’m using this but nothing hapens. I’m using snow leopard. Also Under “name” what do I put?
Are you planning on releasing a Delay Reducer? If not, can you point me to any resources on how I can develop one?
THANKYOU. It is working perfectly on my macbook pro - snow leopard.
I don’t know how you all understood how to set this up, I can’t seem to find the .config equivalent so I can insert my CD key/Ports/all that stuff. And seeing how there is not a bit about HOW to go about doing this….I’d be grateful if someone made a guide!
Yeah, I agree, this is awesome
but needs a delay reducer for user. bot system spends too much time in game before opening the slots
Would you like to link sites? I’ve been looking for another site with battle.net stuff to link with.
Can you upgrade the refresher? I have this same 1 for awhile and its getting annoying cause it has like 3 second in game-lobby delay.
Can we have the source code? It would be nice if I can do a single refresh using a keyboard shortcut when ever I want.
how do i open warmonger while i have warcraft 3 up. i have to completely quit out of warcraft 3 to get to warmonger
I want host with my mac, i search listchecker on it but does not exist. This program only is enought ? how can you ping people ?
and for banlist ?
