Extract files without listfile

[Ralle]

I am in the need of a feature to extract all files in a MPQ missing the listfile. My plan with the files is to index hashes to cross reference with resources uploaded on hiveworkshop.com to create automated attributions to authors of uploaded resources. I imagine this working in multiple ways:

1. Extract all files with sequential number naming
2. Extract file by number (this exists in other MPQ tools) which requires a way to list all files by number (and other MPQ metadata)

Either way is fine with me.

Is extracting a file by its number a feature of StormLib? I had a quick glance at its API, but it doesn't seems so. MPQExtractor is only a small layer on top of StormLib, but if this is supported somehow it should be easy to add this feature in MPQExtractor.

Oh, okay.

Do you have any other idea for how to extract files without a listfile?
