WMV not loading MPQ
« on: May 13, 2017, 06:45:53 pm »
Hey there,
 I packed some .wmos into an .mpq to use them in noggit (to convert it to 6.2.4 later)
But the WMV will not load the MPQ, it just errors out:
Code: [Select]
18:38:29: Opening D:\WoDModding\Clients\3.3.5a\Data\patch-a.mpq
18:38:29: Error opening archive D:\WoDModding\Clients\3.3.5a\Data\patch-a.mpq

18:38:30: Opening D:\WoDModding\Clients\3.3.5a\Data\enUS\locale-enUS.MPQ
18:38:30: Opening D:\WoDModding\Clients\3.3.5a\Data\enUS\base-enUS.MPQ
I am not quite sure how to tackle this problem as it will not load the MPQ.
I already searched for various keywords, but i can't find a thread similiar to this.
Thanks in advance

Hey Amaroth, thanks for that quick response! What do you mean by Access Rights?

Right-click a file, go to its Properties, take a look at Attributes at the bottom of dialogue window which appears.

It is the other way around. I want to place 6.2.4 Wmos in Noggit  (which is based on 3.3.5) to use them in the WoD Client

Have you tired to create the mpq from scratch from a folder?

What version of MPQEditor are you using? I had all kinds of issues with some of newer versions, resulting in corruption of MPQs and so on.

I keep using old 3.2.0.535. This version works flawlessly for me. I really suspect that you've got corrupted archive in some way.
