BigMPQSpecificExtractor

Yeah,

I kinda wondered why WinMPQ was so slow at opening big MPQ files, and I made this BigMPQSpecificExtractor.

It opens up big MPQ-files WAY faster ;)

Edited because:
HollowMan put in the storm.dll file from the retail (and keeps moving the page around), here's the NEW download:
Get it @ Wc3Mappers.Wc3Campaigns.

Ps. I just made it for fun, but do feel free to use it and check out the source!

cool... im testing as we speak.,... 1 problem tho......... it says subscript too far out of rang

nvm this works great GJ!

Hey, cool that it works ;)

What was that subscript problem though?

storm wasnt in the folder.... hey yur prog is great but....... IT SUCKS UP TOO MMUCH MEMORY!!!

Yeah, if you mean when one tries to extract more than let's say 25 - 50 files from the MPQ it's getting a bit 'stressed'

I'm working on this, but I hope to get that a bit better ;)

As for when not extracting files from any mpq, it should take ~20mb when you've loaded your war3beta.mpq (that's about 3 opened internet explorer windows)

I wouldn't say that's too much, is it?

Ps. I'm running WinXP Pro, so that might make the difference

i can open 3 ie windows and it not cause THAT much damage to my memory... i mean i had to reboot twice after using it

Maybe it's computer dependent, when I open up photoshop 6, I can't open up anything else and my system feels like an 386 (I can hardly use that proggie)
But I can open up like 40 internet windows...

Ps. I 'only' have 256mb DDR, that stuff is expensive like hell here in NL

GOT DAMNIT!!! this is so ******* great i love it!...lol. Sereaously its really good, u ´can change many things and its way faster, thx for this.

The only downfall is that u cannot edit the mpq file directly, u can only export files, u should fix that. But its so fast i hate dose slow madda fakkaz, so plzzz make it like winmpq but WAAAAYY faster bcuz it takes like 5mins to load a mpq in winmpq and when u only change the name of a thing i takes 5 more mins.

why would you edit the main mpq files or the patch mpq? If you use it to edit the smaller ones like w3m map files then you can use winmpq. Bigmpq extractor is only usefull for extracting files from very big mpq's, at least thats what I sue it for

new link is broken :p

Thanx for pointing it out to me -> fixed it (Hollowman keeps moving things around)

i cant use the proggie(it says something or some file is missing even i have storm dll in its folder...

Please give the >precise< error!

I'm sorry, I can't give much help, except that you should leave the directory structure intact while extracting it. (can't think of much else that can go wrong)
