As some of you might know www.wc3sear.ch requires two server side applications in order to work correctly.
The first tool is a blp 2 jpg converter which is needed to automatically convert icons, minimaps and skins into jpgs for display on the page.
The Second tool is a tool which can open Maps like WinMPQ and automatically extracts files.
The big Problem is the two Applications I had were written for Apple Macintosh. The new server is a Linux machine and therefore the old Apps are useless.
The Creator of the one and only 3rd party War3 Map Editor ( http://www.wc3sear.ch/?p=Tools&ID=12 ) Zepir was able to make me a MPQextractor tool for linux, using Shadowflares Linux MPQ API:
http://shadowflare.gameproc.com/
So thanks to Zepir and ShadowFlare you'll soon be able to upload Spells and Maps again. :!:
The second tool is currently in development by BahamutZero who wrote the Macintosh version of it. He now rewrites the tool for linux as well
Thanks again to Zepir for the quick and competent help!
