MPQ library for .NET? (C#)

[Vercas]

I've been searching on Google for MPQ libraries for .NET for days now and all I found is:

• SFMpq
• Stoo.WoWLib

And the results:

• Cannot add reference
• When I try to initialize the MPQ, I get the exception: Unable to read beyond the end of the stream - when trying to open war3.mpq

Does anyone know another MPQ library for .NET or some working (fixed) versions of the above mentioned libraries?

Thanks in advance and reputation for the one(s) who help me.

i doubt that you can ever find one. from my mediocre knowledge of C#, it isnt as good in object orientation as C++, thats why hardly any games are made by C#. but thats my mediocre knowledge.

Wrong.
The reasons why GAMES are not made in C# are:

• Requires .NET Framework
  • .NET Framework functions are slower than C++ natives
• C++ can do things at a more basic level
• C++ has pointers!

BTW, please don't post anything if the answer is "No".
Only post if you can help me.

Try MpqLib by Magos.

That only worked for C++, not C#...

It works quite well for me. I'm using Visual C# 2010 Express, I just had to manually adjust the .NET Framework version to 3.5 in order to make it work. (Who uses 4.0 anyway?)

 

[Vercas]

That might be the problem, but I want to deliver .NET Framework 3.0 with my application.
Does that library work for .NET 3.0?

Yep, does work.

So now I must bring this god damn thread back to life because I have two problems with Magos' MpqLib:

• I get an error in the contructor of CArchive when I attempt to open an archive before I have a message loop. This is GAY.
• I get too many headaches attempting to convert it to C#. Moreover, I cannot find the equivalent of some WinNT.h - functions.

So, any more ideas? -_-
