war3patch.mpq files all unknown

Hey, I have been having some problems with war3patch. When I open it with WinMPQ it shows a long list (447 files to be exact) of files in the "~unknown\" dir and all named "unknown_XXXXXXXX" with the X's being hex numbers. I tried using techMPQ to get files out (specifically AbilityData.slk and the race ability files) but TechMPQ freezes when I try to extract the files. I was wondering if anyone had a fix for this or had run into it themselves.

You need to make sure the (attributes) and (listfiles) are in there by adding them from another file like war3x.mpq or war3.mpq. If after you do that some of the files show up then you just need to get the (attributes) and (listfiles) from the newest war3patch.mpq for TFT. If that doesn't work I would reinstall WC III and TFT and make sure to back-up the files (or at least the .mpq's).

When the patch 1.10 came out for WC III RoC before TFT came out, Blizzard purposely did not include the (attributes) and (listfiles) for the patch because it contained data for TFT. I knew this and burrowed the (attributes) and (listfiles) from my War3.mpq and got a peak at all the abilites, units, etc. for TFT before it came out.:D

I don't have TFT, so that may be part of the problem, but thanks for the advice. Adding the listfiles got all the files I cared about. Thanks again :D .
