You should be able to do it with storm library

it'd help immensely if unarchiver can open mpq files. :)

i have seen many projects use stormlib windows side, just not on mac side. i suppose
it doesn't hurt to shoot them an email. if not using storm lib though. does their mpqformat
page help enough to just code something without storm lib?

paracelsus:

The library still doesn't seem to have a license so it's not actually possible to use
it, unfortunately.

Not sure if this is of much use, don't know of programming yet.

Is there some documentation on the new format?

llmondrup:

Better late than never.
You would be a hero for all Blizzard players on Mac platforms if you do this. The older
MPQ Extractors can't open the new MPQ formats, therefor we don't have anything to extract
MPQ files with.

This would help immensely! There aren't any other MPQ programs for Mac that work well,
so this would be a godsend!

Definitely a yes!

Many of the AddOn developers for WoW, including myself, would love to have this.

I guess it is possible, but I'm not sure if there's much demand. If anyone else wants
it, do speak up.

(It's also a bit worrying that there doesn't seem to be any license given for the library,
but that can probably be worked out somehow.)
