Location of second and third Rexxar campaign chapter map files (OrcX_02 and OrcX_03)

[Wayshan]

Hi, I have been searching the MPQ files for the second and third maps of the Rexxar campaign, but all I was able to find was the first map and its submaps (OrcX01_1-5) in the War3xlocal file. Does anybody know how to access these? Many thanks!

 

[Chaosium]

I see them in the war3x.mpq

 

[Wayshan]

Hah, that is strange, I am running at 1.27 and I don't have this map folder in the war3x.mpq at all

Can I kindly ask you to attach these to this post?

 

[Chaosium]

Here they are

I have a non-english version (1.27 too) and the campaign maps are in war3xlocal.mpq like you said in the 1st post, but I think the rexxar maps that came later are actually in war3patch.mpq

 

[Pandaprewmaster325]

they are in the patch mpq one not the war3x since they were added in later patches

Yeah, I suspected it to be so, but my patch mpq file seems to be corrupted or it's because of the language (non-English) version. I basically see all the files in one folder and most of them have incorrect or nonsensical names. Thanks for the help guys, you are the best! And special thanks to you @Chaosium for uploading these!

you need a list file for it to be read

Hmmm, never heard of it? Where can I get it?

WCIII listfile (1.27b) - Warcraft 3 Reign Of Chaos

[Wayshan]

Alright and now maybe dumb question - how do you use it?

well you open the mpq patch file it asks for a list file then you press on the 3 dots and find the listfile then press ok and its readable now

 

[Wayshan]

Wow, the more you know! Amazing, thank you! Now I can see the maps in my local files as well!

The map file for Rexxar Campaign was located in "War3xLocal.mpq" (for Act 1) and "War3Patch.mpq", but when Blizzard merged both ROC and TFT clients starting in 1.28, it was stored in "War3x.mpq" file instead for all 3 Acts (along with the 4 main campaigns for TFT).

If you want to open the "War3Patch.mpq" file (for 1.26/1.27), you'll probably need the Listfile so that when you open that file it doesn't show weird names.

As a bonus, if you want to identify the sub-map names for Act 2 (it's a bit confusing due to the map having 5 submaps for main quest and 4 submaps with dungeon monsters), here's a correct one:
1.OrcX02_02.w3x (Coastal Base - Infiltrate Theramore Quest).
2.OrcX02_03.w3x (Theramore City - Escape Theramore Quest).
3.OrcX02_04.w3x (Dustwallow Marsh - Ogre Quest).
4.OrcX02_05.w3x (Mulgore - Tauren Quest).
5.OrcX02_06.w3x (Tidefury Cove - First Blood Quest).
6.OrcX02_07.w3x (Tombs of the Ancients).
7.OrcX02_08.w3x (Den of the Lost).
8.OrcX02_09.w3x (Magistrate Temple).
9.OrcX02_10.w3x (Outland Arena).

Interesting thing is: Editor throws an error like this if you attempt to open each submaps for Act 2 (My version is 1.29.2):

For legacy builds of Warcraft III pre-dating the reforged development, they are located in the patch MPQ. This is because The Forzen Throne did not ship with the bonus orc campaign finished, and instead it was released post-launch by patch. Legacy builds of Warcraft III deployed all patch content and changes inside the patch MPQ, which is why those campaign files are located there.
