Make a backup of the original and then edit it. When you have messed it up, restore the backup. This is as easy as pie.

No i meant so when i would press the tft.exe file it would play using my own editted verison of warpatch.mpq.

You want it to read the normal patch.mpq with ROC or what?

The TToR mod did make a backup of the old patch.mpq, and replaced it with an edited one.

Have you checked the shortcut's command-line parameters? It's entirely possible that Warcraft III has a parameter that lets you set which archive(s) to use. I'd do it, but I don't have TToR installed right now.

I believe that TToR just uses a pair of batch files (.bat) which manually renames the war3patch.mpq to a backup and replaces it with the other one.

I made a mpq and want to make my own .bat file to play it.

To make a .bat file like the one above, just write that into Notepad and save it as a .bat instead of a .txt

You want to make the .bat rename war3patch.mpq to war3patch.mpq.tft and rename war3patch.mpq.ne (for example) to war3patch.mpq. If you create the .bats to say what Panto said, and save them as Whatever.bat and open them it will automatically rename the files for you.
