MPQExtractor included as submodule will not compile #26

Closed jududdar closed 8 years ago

jududdar commented 8 years ago

Greetings,

Doing the install on a Linux box finally. When I pulled the submodule repo for the MPQExtractor from iamcal, I can't ever get it to compile. I did some troubleshooting for a while, then went upstream from what it was forked from: https://github.com/Kanma/MPQExtractor - that one actually did compile properly. Using Debian 8 x86_64

I am still apparently too dense to use the tool, but it does compile and appears to give proper output - I'm just feeding it incorrectly! I'll keep plugging away at that one.

right, also got an error: âtransformâ was not declared in this scope in main.cpp

it is caused by a missing include at the top of the file #include <algorithm>

the works pretty straight forward, if you are sticking to 3.3.5 ./MPQExtractor -h also shows a couple of examples

I can get files out of it, but it's the patch level thing I am not sure about. For example, I have these files in my Data/enGB folder (that have the relevant files anyhow):

expansion-locale-enGB.MPQ lichking-locale-enGB.MPQ locale-enGB.MPQ patch-enGB.MPQ patch-enGB-2.MPQ patch-enGB-3.MPQ

Then I run the command like so: ./MPQExtractor -e "DBFilesClient\*.*" -f -o out WorldofWarcraft/Data/enGB/locale-enGB.MPQ

I guess my real question is, do I do this command for each MPQ in alpha/numeric order and overwrite the previous files, or is there something I'm missing? I've went through the entire setup with the MPQ extracts I did when I was messing around with Windows, but the outcome was the same (no quests, only dungeons that showed were lich king, no classic/BC). It's almost got to be related to me not knowing what I'm doing with the extractor.

Sarjuuk commented 8 years ago

yes, just replace the previously extracted files. The command to apply patches is for cata and later

Okay thanks, I'll give it a go. In remembering what I did with the Windows extractor, I think I did this exact thing. Looking at what I have, though, I know I forgot to do GlobalStrings.lua so who knows what else I may have omitted in trying to do this with clicks instead of command line (where I can at least verify what the last thing I did was)!

Sarjuuk commented 8 years ago

Don't worry, the GlobalStrings.lua was added afterwards.

references MPQExtractor updated some time ago, forgot to close :)
