Care to elaborate that question?

As it seems, and in tests I did today, "FuckItUp" removed the listfile from the custom MPQ files properly, but for some reason, implemented Addons in the MPQ were no longer available and working. I assume that you are disagreeing that you can prove, but it's weird Oo

First of all: Are you able to reproduce this by having a patch including an add-on, starting wow with it, then using this tool and starting wow again, leading to it being broken?

I don't know by heart how WoW determines the addons to load, but the problem here is, that it needs to find files that are not listed anywhere. On models etc, there is some file where the filename is referenced. Therefore, it is possible to load hash(filename) from the mpq.

As there is no list file and there is no list of all addons available, there of course can't be a hash(Interface/Addons/mypersonalunknownaddon/mypersonalunknownaddon.toc) somewhere. It relies on a list file.

You may be able to "fix" this by having an MPQ with  empty files with the right names, which gets loaded before the "corrupted" MPQ containing the correct data. It should be able to find the files as a listfile is present and be able to load the latest version of the files.

This will kind of defeat the "trick" here, though, as you are giving out the filenames with the second MPQ. It might as well be possible to have a partial listfile with only one MPQ.


Which will be better would be integrating the addon into the official UI. This will also prevent the user to disable your add-on. You won't need a listfile then, as those files are referenced by the (frame|glue)xml.toc.
