Correct MPQ load order - Githubissues

namreeb commented 3 years ago

Some files exist in multiple MPQs. To get the right data, we have to get the load order correct. This issue will serve as a placeholder for all specific issues that getting this wrong can cause.

Examples:

World\maps\Azeroth\Azeroth_33_28.adt exists in world.mpq and common.mpq. common.mpq contains the correct version.
DBFilesClient\AreaTable.dbc exists in enUS\locale-enUs.mpq, enUS\patch-enUS.mpq, and enUS\patch-enUS-2.mpq. Not sure which is correct but locale-enUS.mpq is definitely wrong.
world\wmo\outland\floatingrocks\nagrand_rockfloating_waterfalls.wmo exists in expansion.mpq and expansion1.MPQ, and expansion1.MPQ contains the correct version

In TBC there are a couple of reversals of the locale-files. Hopefully this doesn't cause any problems!
