it wants me to read blizzard.j and common.j files in it but when i extract it and open it it gives me a bunch of un-readable junk, is there another program i need to read it? i downloaded all 3 of the above ( win mpq wont work says missing .dll even though i re-installed it many times). edit= the first "it" and "in it" means the jass tutorial (wc3jass.com) |

> says missing .dll Type that DLL's name in google and with little luck you'll get a download link. |

WinMPQ requires VB runtimes and some other thing I've forgotten. If what you've opened looks somewhat like this then it's JASS code. Quote:
20 bucks say, you've just opened blizzard.j ;-) |

no it looked more like chicken scratch, triangles circles small numbers at the top of triangles etc |

obviously its something in hex or some other language other than a JASS |

hahaha...chicken scratch, sorry about the off-topicness but..chicken scratch is just such an amazing little word/phrase thing. |

lol, posting this question in 3 forums and still havent got the answer i was looking for in several days >.> <.< all i want to know is what steps would i take to getting to look at common.j and blizzard.j so i can try to learn jass sorry for the inconvience Strangly ive spent my entire life on a computer, and i cant figure this out when most of you probably figured it out a long time ago. Although pitzer mike has been the most helpfull(getting me the listfile and trying to point me in the right direction, but ive never done any programming ever) accept if you count friend teaching me how to get snes/gameboy emulators to work but that was so long ago i dont even remember how to do it now-a-days |

Ok, if the other tools didn't work for you, let's try it with PowerMPQ then. 1. Start the program 2. Click the open button, select war3patch.mpq -> you now should have loads of ~unknown files in the list 3. Go to Options/Configuration -> File Lists tab 4. Click Add Listfile, select the Listfile.txt that I uploaded the other day, ok, ok 5. Now to refresh the view you have to reload the mpq, that means click open again and select war3patch.mpq again. -> the ~unknowns should now have turned into normal paths, you shouln't have trouble finding scripts\common.j and scripts\blizzard.j now 6. Last but not least: right-click the files you want to get and click extract from the menu ... |
