Wc3Patch.mpq help!

BloodElf53 · Sep 20, 2004

Sorry if this has been asked before but
How do I open Wc3Patch.mpq? I have tried with all the .mpq files programs that I know of and I can't extract and files from it. I really want to learn how to because then I can mod skins from the patch like the firelord skin.

Thanks in advance.

P.S. If you are wondering why I put the poll in it is because I want to know how many people know how to and am I just stupid or is this something almost no one knows how to do.

Use WC3 Viewer to open up the mpq for you.

Thanks but, I tried that a while ago when I open that tree window thing there is always this little plus sign on the other MPQs that I know of and I click on that to start looking in it for models, but with Wc3Patch.MPQ it isn't there. If you don't understand what I am saying I will try to reword it so it is more clear.

Thanks in advance, and sorry about being a noob.

Hmm, abit no clear.
Do you mean it cannot be opened? Do you mean your missing that mpq?

BloodElf53 · Sep 30, 2004

Ok, so I have the mpq file and I can sort of open it, but when I open the tree viewer it won't let me browse through the files there. Also if you could tell me how to take a screen shot of my screen then I could show you what I mean.

Thanks in advance.

P.S. Yes I do know about computers just I have never needed to take a screen shot outside of a game.

Strange. I can browse the files. Maybe re-install wc3 or re-download and re-use WC3 Viewer?

Btw, you can take screenshots quite easily with a screenshot programs, find loads on www.download.com or Irfanview which is downloadable on the tool section of this site.

Ok, this this is what I ment but I am inhancing it with screen shots :lol: . So when I open Wc3Patch.mpq and the open the tree viewer this is what the tree viewer looks like

Burper53-iviewcapture_date_01_10_2004_time_12_16_32.jpg

and this is when I open war3.mpq or war3x.mpq

Burper53-iviewcapture_date_01_10_2004_time_12_17_43.jpg

in the first one the little plus sign was missing, so I can't look through the files in it. Now that I have given you more infomation can you please tell me what I am doing wrong or if it is just something weird with my computer.

Thanks in advnace.

Upload the image to a server (search them) some are free like www.uploadit.org or www.photobucket.com and use the IMG tags to tag the URL.

BloodElf53 · Oct 1, 2004

Thanks, now see my post above for what I was trying to say but didn't know how to upload images.

BloodElf53 · Oct 11, 2004

Somebody? Please? Help? :cry:

Its cause you don't have the listfile for that particular MPQ. WC3Viewer doesn't support listfile importing, so don't even make it try to open that particular mpq

BloodElf53 · Oct 18, 2004

How do I get a listfile?

Thanks in advance.

Like Mecheon said, even if you got a listfile you wouldn't be able to add it to W3Viewer, the only thing you can do is extract the files using an MPQ opener, like PowerMPQ, WinMPG, Ladik's MPQ Editor etc.

BloodElf53 · Oct 20, 2004

Ah, Thank you. Now I think I will try to get those programs to work on my computer... :lol:

I have the Listfile posted here:

http://www.wc3sear.ch/viewtopic.php?t=7093

I even say how to put it into Winmpq so you can permanantly view the War3patch.mpq

Enjoy the editing!

BloodElf53 · Nov 23, 2004

Woohoo thanks! Now all I need to do is find some time tp try this out... :lol:

P.S. No, if you think I am going to type the listfile in line by line, I am not gonna do that, I know how to cnp. Heck if I did I wouldn't EVER have time.

BloodElf53 · Nov 23, 2004

OK. I have found out that your listfile does help, but it is missing the first 120 something files. I belive that the firelord is in that and the main thing I wanted was the firelord cause he is so cool. If you have the time PLEASE finish the listfile.

Archemorus · Nov 30, 2004

I have updated my listfile. It now contains the model files that you wanted

BloodElf53 · Dec 4, 2004

Thanks! I noticed that there are still a lot of things left out. How do you make the listfile? I would like to know so I could make my own.
