WC v1.01

I've been having all sorts of problems with the various MPQ
extractors/editors/etc. I was wondering if this has something to
do with the fact that I applied the WC 1.01 patch. Would this
cause the various MPQ tools to throw a fit? I'm getting ``map is
corrupted'' errors from just about any tool that I try.

If this is caused by the patch, is it safe to reinstall the game and
not apply the patch? I'm slightly worried about the maps that I've
created; I really don't want to recreate them...

TIA,

I think it's safe to say that everyone is using 1.01. If you think your installation is currupted, you can try reinstalling the game and letting battle.net patch it for you. More likely something is wrong with your installation of the editor proggies. Do you have Warcraft III installed in the default directory (C:/program files/wacraft iii)? A lot of the MPQ viewers require it to be...

I have WC installed in the default directory. Is there any
requirements on the location of the map or tools? I've been
trying to use mpq2k and WinMPQ. Mpq2k gives me a corrupted
archive error and WInMPQ shows nothing but (listfile).

Hmmm... maybe I am just an idiot that doesn't know how to use
the tools. I'm going to bounce around and try to see if I am
doing anything obviously incorrect.

WinMPQ work but it takes a while to load the files. Easy wait some minutes. You can test it at the war3_patch.mpq file.
