We need a FAQ thread!

In order to stop posts like "I don't get MPQView to work" or "WinMPQ Problem" we need an effective FAQ thread, that is only accessible by moderators and which will be updated with solutions frequent problems.

Here are the first three entries:

1) How to set up MPQView:
- Extract MPQView into a folder
- Copy storm.dll from your Warcraft III folder into the MPQView folder
- Get listfiles to work with it

2) How to get listfiles for use with MPQView
- Go to my website
or
- Create a new TXT file. Add "(lisfile)" (without the quotes) into the first line.
- Use it as listfile
- Extract (listfile) from the MPQ (e.g.: war3.mpq, War3Patch.mpq)
- Add .txt to the filename of the extracted file (or rename it as you wish) and use it as listfile.

3) How to install WinMPQ (excerpt from the readme of my tool Warcraft III Spell-Autoimplementer):

a) Downloading the required files:
Go to http://shadowflare.ancillaediting.ne...ad.html#WinMPQ
Download all files where it says "Required Files".
These are:
WinMPQ: http://shadowflare.ancillaediting.ne...cgi?WinMPQ.zip
- Visual Basic 4 Runtime: http://shadowflare.ancillaediting.net/download/Vbr4.zip
- Runtime Files Pack 3: http://shadowflare.ancillaediting.ne...d/RunPack3.zip

b) Installing WinMPQ and the required stuff:
- Installing Visual Basic 4 Runtime:
Extract all the files from vbr4.zip into some temporary folder. Then run setup.exe. If the setup is done you should
delete the temporary files.

- Installing Runtime Files Pack 3:
The same as above for RunPack3.zip. Be sure that, if you use the same temporary folder as before, you have deleted
the files extracted from vbr4.zip to avoid any conflicts.

- Installing WinMPQ:
Just extract all the files from WinMPQ.zip into a directory (I'd suggest to use something like
C:\Program Files\WinMPQ\. Run WinMPQ.exe to test if it works.



I think a FAQ thread would improve that forum.
