Title: Help with Ladiks CascView
Post by: Anton on July 27, 2014, 08:41:27 am
I need help extracting gamefiles from the WoD-Beta. Ladik, who made the MPQ-Editor recently made CascView, a program to extract files from Blizzards new Casc-system. The problem is, I don't know how to use it. I downloaded the program, but when I try to open the WoD Data-folder using the "Open Storage" button nothing happens. I read his description on the download page but I can't see what I am missing.

Maybe someone here can explain how to use it in an easy way, thanx.

K i got it ....

Here is CascViever for 32bits

1. ExtractFiles Somwhere
2. Edit Path to your WOD WoW in " WOD.cmd "
3. Start " WOD.cmd "
4. it will ask you for List file so enter " World of Warcraft ListFile6x.txt "
5. Make a Burger and Profit

AGAIN EDIT:
I just reached new toy CMD entering of parametrs is more adaptive then i tought

so in WOD.cmd will be something like that

".exe" ""path to Wod"" ""Path to ListFile""
Example of my one
CascView.exe "E:WODWorld of Warcraft BetaData" "E:ProjectWoWClient601cascview-en32World of Warcraft ListFile6x.txt"

Thanx for help, but I dont really understand.

1. What files shall I extract?

2. What do you mean with "Edit Path to your WOD WoW in " WOD.cmd ". How do I do that?

3. How do i startt WOD.cmd. Which program shall I use to start it?


As you see, I'm not very used to this, would be nice with an easy explanation. Thanx again. =)

Thanx for your help. I opened WOD.CMD but the path there is your example "E:WODWorld of Warcraft BetaData"
How do I change that to fit my own directory which is C:ProgramWorld of Warcraft Betadatadata

I did so now. And i click Wod.cmd, Cascview opens then as it should but when trying to open the datafolder with the program nothing happens. It could be that Warlords Beta is 64 Bit and Cascview is 32 Bit.

Post by: Alastor on July 27, 2014, 01:13:04 pm
so why are you still here go on zezulas pages and download 64bit then use again Wod.cmd

I wanna thank you for all your help. But unfortunately this method doesnt work. Nothing happens when opening the program thorugh Wod.cmd and using Open Storage. Could be that CascView needs to be updated or something, it is still a very early version of the program. One could only hope that in the end it will be as easy to use as the MPQ-Editor.

Thanks, that was the best guide. I've done exactly as you show in that Picture, but still the Casc Viewer is empty. I have attached a printscreen here of the commands I use so you see what I have done.  :)

Thank you so much for all help! I'm so happy now that I can extract Casc-files! CascExplorer is great!
You should talk to Ladik so that he can develop his program, would be nice to use it one day.

The latest CascView has shown up, with instructions. Since I have Heroes of the Storm, however, just running the app without commandline options will only open up HOTS data. I cannot seem to get WOD data to show up within Zezula's viewer, but TOM_RUS's viewer works perfectly.

Well, it was not just me being a noob here, Ladiks CascView DID NOT work for me. Dahaga even helped me via Skype and he could see it didn't work. But CascExplorer from Tom worked in an instant.
