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!

Damn Darky! I didn't want something big! And the hardest part of the job was done by SF MPQ API...
I almost did nothing... :p
Anyway, if there are linux developpers who'd like to get famous by writing an MPQ app for linux, I can give you the source code as basis. Just PM-me on wc3campaigns forum or catch me up on IRC or on ICQ.
