Yes, you can open it in read-only mode. Decrypting it however is a different matter.

May you post the MPQ?

There is no decrypting necessary. You should be able to open it just fine.

From what I've read you cant edit MPQs that dont have a listfile, and the MPQ has 2GB.

And i cant post link because i dont have enough posts.

One can open and edit mpqs without list files. They are not different at all.

What else should it show? There are no names.

I guess the only way to see them is by an external listfile?
