Ladik's MPQ Editor Tutorial

Chapter #3 Creating a MPQ
Image
Hopefully you already have readed the "Export Files" Chapter
as you will now come to see why the Folder Structure is important
Else you will either have to read It or look into a already made MPQ to get the Idea

To begin, Select "File" from the top panel, then select "New MPQ..."


_____________________________________________________________________________
Image
Select the Place where you want to Create you MPQ
By Either writing the Directory or selecting it by clicking the Square box [...]


_____________________________________________________________________________
Image
Now Select which option you want to Chose
you can Either select to import selected files manualy
or Import a folder and every files and folder in it (which which is quicker, but i recomend the Manual)

_____________________________________________________________________________

Now Select the Size of the Hash Table, this sets the Maximum numbers of files the MPQ can contain Default is 1024 files
you can increase or decrease the numbers if you so desire


_____________________________________________________________________________
Image
Now Select the MPQ Format you want to use

_____________________________________________________________________________

The Final step before the MPQ is created, here you will see the selected options you have chosen

_____________________________________________________________________________

Now that the MPQ file is Created it's time to Import files

I recomend that you Drag 'n Drop files or folders, that you want to have in the MPQ

Below you will see how it should look with a Imported Character Folder
(the 2 files in the root will be created as soon a file have ben imported to the MPQ)

Now when your done Importing files to the MPQ, Close The MPQ
and the MPQ is now ready to be used with wow's patch system.


If you removed any files or closed the MPQ before your ware done, you will have to start over!
