Add suport for MPQ file format (blizzard compression format for all their games) #527

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

You should be able to do it with storm library

it'd help immensely if unarchiver can open mpq files. :)

I guess it is possible, but I'm not sure if there's much demand. If anyone else 
wants it, do speak up.

(It's also a bit worrying that there doesn't seem to be any license given for 
the library, but that can probably be worked out somehow.)

Many of the AddOn developers for WoW, including myself, would love to have this.

This would help immensely! There aren't any other MPQ programs for Mac that 
work well, so this would be a godsend!

Better late than never.
You would be a hero for all Blizzard players on Mac platforms if you do this. 
The older MPQ Extractors can't open the new MPQ formats, therefor we don't have 
anything to extract MPQ files with.

Is there some documentation on the new format?

Not sure if this is of much use, don't know of programming yet.

The library still doesn't seem to have a license so it's not actually possible 
to use it, unfortunately.

i have seen many projects use stormlib windows side, just not on mac side. i 
suppose it doesn't hurt to shoot them an email. if not using storm lib though. 
does their mpqformat page help enough to just code something without storm lib?
