I ask this in terms of warcraft3
I have 1gb ram.
the warcraft3 folder has war3.mpq(420mb) and war3x.mpq(330 mb) files which "has to be most frequently" read files.
I want any one of those files(I can take away a maximum of only 450 mb of ram... this was found using a 3rd party program) to be put into a ramdisk
that won't be a problem...
here is the problem:
when wc3(warcraft3) seeks the .mpq file,it should get redirected to the files location in the ramdisk and read data from it
what I've tried:
1)used eboostr,but it didn't cache the abovesaid files even when I used a 2gb usb drive for the caching and I also tweaked the software to its limits but it still didn't cache the files.
2)"cut" one of the mpq files to another location.took the shortcut of the new location."cut" the shortcut and pasted it in the old location with the "exact same name" of the original file.but it didn't work,wc3 was not redirected.
solution I desire:
1)a utility which enables my wc3 to get redirected to another location when it seeks my mpq file.
OR
2)a utility that can cache a "specific" file into ram and "ensures" that the file is read only from the ram.
