Anyone knows where I can find the MPQ file format specification? What I need is a detailed byte ordering of how the data is stored/compressed. I'm working on a program to "protect" mpq files from being opened and so far, I've made a program to "mess up" jass code. Basically, all white space and comments are gone, and all variable and function names are replaced with hard to remember names (like "dfkgj" instead of "Trig_Shoot_Action"), etc. What I need now is to find other ways to make it harder to edit maps and so I need the MPQ file format specification. |

Check the website www.zezula.net for MPQ related programming. There is also an article about MPQ here: http://shadowflare.ancillaediting.ne...opaq/index.htm I know no location, where you can find a real format specification, but maybe someone else knows. |

We can´t mess that much with the MPQ files, due: 1) If the game can read the file, then any MPQ extractor can. 2) We can encrypt/mess up with the MPQ but then the game will not read it. Take a look on those sites ScFreak mentioned above an here: http://athena2000.myrice.com/mpq/index.html |
