Accessing Reforged Assets

[Footman16]

Hi I was looking at making some skins I need for my custom campaign however now that Warcraft 3 has moved from the MPQ format to CASC I was wondering if there's an easy way to access all the model, skin and icon files and export them for me to edit them.

If not all I need is the Reforged Spell Breaker skins and icons.

You can use Retera Model Studio or CascViewer.

I've heard CascViewer can corrupt files if not used properly. Also where are the Casc files saved to on the computer?

where are the Casc files saved to on the computer?

In the same folder where the MPQs used to be; there's now a "Data" folder instead.

Can't find it in the Warcraft 3 folder saved to Documents, my backup W3 folder or in the Warcraft 3 or Blizzard folder in the Program Files. Very strange.

That's strange, indeed. I don't have Reforged, but I don't see why they would keep Reforged resources in a separate directory.

I never had any issues with CASCView, also if the CASCView damaged the CASC the game can now be manually repaired with the Blizzard App. The Blizzard App will also automatically scan and repair your game(s), and check for updates everytime you start it. The CASC should be in the directory where you installed your game, I just extracted tons of files recently from Reforged.

Yeah I've finally found the data and extracted the skins and are currently making one, but I'd still need the models since I've never used modelling software before.
