External MPQ for resource

[The6thMessenger]

Well, my map is somewhat getting larger with so much files i needed to import, especially my own set of triggers. The limit to map size it about 8mb, and my map is at 7mb. then i had an idea, i want to make an external MPQ file that will contain my resource and allow me to use more than 8mb of files without getting the map itself larger than 8mb. But yeah i will distribute my map with an additional MPQ file.

Anyways, i'm asking for help in how to make an annexed MPQ file, basically how do i do this?

Thanks ^_^

I think that question had been asked before..
check this out http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/world-editor-help-zone-98/mpq-223617/

I quotes something important from that URL.

I hope you are aware that stuff in the MPQ is local only to your system... Other people playing the map will obviously not have it in their MPQs (as how would it get there?!).

just a warning, unless your map is a really good one, I doubt anyone will be willing to download an additional MPQ just to play it...

I found a way to pack my own items for MPQ resource, but the main problem is that how can i assign the WC3 Engine to recognize and use my custom MPQ
