mpq file help

I created a new mpq file, imported all the map stuff from my old map and saved it has a TFT map but War3 doesn't even see the game. Yes its saved in the map folder in the War3 directory. How do I make a mpq file readable by Warcraft 3?

Surely it would be more prudent for you to open up the map file and add the art files to it, instead of the other way around?

no can do cuz of the total imported file limit.

I have like over 3000 files to import

I would have thought using an MPQ tool to open the map archieve (.w3x) and then adding the files would circumvent the limit imposed in the editor......

if you try to import files directly into the map's mpq in stops allowing files to be added at 64 so i had to create a new mpq with a file limit of 9000 but the hex of the new mpq is different from the map's hex

Okes i did some research.

Apparently using the import manager there is no limit because it rewrites the archive with a bigger hashtable whenever it reaches a limit (64, 256, 512 etc)
Now at this stage i honestly dont know why you cant use the import manager.

I tested it myself and just imported 137 random files to a map, it worked....

Are you sure you actually tested properly your attempted import of 3000 files?

After you import 64 icons, they stop showing up when you try to use them.

I figured out that it was caused by me using WE Enhancer to import all my icons.
