Batch updated to Weeks 1-140 (from 1-124) on January 8, 2008.

The Satyr Saturday replays are back and in batch format for newcomers. The updated links now rely on CC's bandwidth instead of the Star Alliance's.

Since the Satyr Saturday has existed for over 140 weeks (with over 1400 replays!), here's the batch files of the replays based on the Warcraft 3's version.

Many of our games were played on custom maps and due to Warcraft III's replay system, the TFT replays are NOT independant from the custom map (as opposed to Brood War). In addition, the replays require the concerned map to have the same relative path when it was loaded.

Thus there is the need to include large map packs including the custom maps used during the Satyr Saturday event.

To ensure SS replays played on custom maps can be watched, you need to follow these steps :

Note : You will need approximately 563 Mb of free space on the partition that contains your Warcraft 3 installation for the following map downloads and copies of the first batch.

Satyr Saturday replays Weeks 92 to 140 (130 Mb) (Only compatible with the version of TFT 1.21 or any later minor version)
Satyr Saturday replays Weeks 23 to 91 (209.0 Mb) (Only compatible with lastest minor version of TFT 1.20)
Satyr Saturday replays Weeks 22 (2.3 Mb) (Only compatible with the lastest minor version of TFT 1.19)
Satyr Saturday replays Weeks 1 to 21 (30.3 Mb) (Only compatible with the lastest minor version of TFT 1.18)

To ensure SS replays played on custom maps can be watched, you need to follow these steps :

Note : You will need approximately 563 Mb of free space on the partition that contains your Warcraft 3 installation for the following map downloads and copies of the first batch.

1 ) download the first batch of maps : Maps Batch #1 (122 Mb)
2 ) create a folder called "Good maps" in the maps root folder of your Warcraft 3 directory.
3 ) extract the first batch's contents in the folder "Good maps" of your wc3 maps folder
4 ) ALSO extract the first batch's contents in the folder "download" of your wc3 maps folder

5 ) download the second batch of maps : Maps Batch #2 (319.0 Mb)
6 ) extract the second batch's contents in the folder "download" of your wc3 maps folder

This will ensure you can play the vast majority of the Satyr Saturday replays related to custom maps.

SPECIAL NOTE FOR 1.20E REPLAYS:
Since the latest major version is 1.21 and a huge quantity of our replays are only compatible with 1.20e, you might be interested to dual-install TFT to be able to watch the 1.20e replays.

The steps are basically the following :

1 ) Uninstall TFT if your version is 1.21 or later (if it's somehow still 1.20e, skip to #3)
2 ) Reinstall war3/TFT and update with this patch (if your TFT language is not English, check for a 1.20e patch of your language here instead.
3) Make a copy of your TFT folder (to dual 1.20e and the latest version of TFT) with a copy name such as "Warcraft III v1.20e"
4) Update your real TFT copy to the latest version (presumably 1.21a with this English Patch) or by connecting to the Battle.net server

Thus, you will just have to rename your real TFT folder copy to some name and then rename your 1.20e TFT to the same installation folder name to launch 1.20e TFT. Rename both back to their former names to play your lastest version.
