[QUESTION] Crash upon joining world

[Shruik]

Hey folks,

i know this isn't about modding but more about shrinking the client but it may be worth a try to ask you:

I currently try to shrink the wow 3.3.5a client to a minimum. by deleting all duplicate files that i could find in the mpq's i came from 16.6gb to 10.9gb but now i get some errors  :twisted:
First wow told me that some files were missing so i created empty mpq's such as lichking.mpq so that i was able to start the game. but now upon entering the world i get errors like this one

Before this i got a similar error blaming the azeroth.wdt to be corrupt. I 'solved' this by putting the called file in my new common.mpq (wow needs this one ).
Please don't hate on my poor methods i'm just getting back into this kind of stuff. My question is: do you have an idea how to solve this other then by putting every 'corrupt' file in the common.mpq?

My current file structure is this:

WoWFolderData
- common.mpq
- lichking.mpq (empty file so that wow is starting)
- patch-2.mpq
- patch-3.mpq
- patch-4.mpq
--enUs
--Interface (not changed by me)
--base-enUS.mpq
--locale-enUS.mpq
--realmlist.wtf
--speech-enUS.mpq (empty file so that wow is starting)

Thanks in advance to anyone who's willing to think of this

There isn't much you can do. Wotlk still replaces entire files with ascending patches, however cata (e.g.) 'adds' on them. You could create a dummy wmo/m2 and use it for the time being until you have every duplicate fixed, but I doubt you have much chances beside that.

And, can not see a reason to hate. It's an interesting thought and would make a bunch of things easier to say the least.
