Changes to the ADT System?

[berlinermauer]

Hey Guys,
From here, it looks like Blizzard has changed the whole ADT-System. I hope it's just an error related to my MpqLib or something, however that's where I am at:

My ADT-Parser want's to read the MHDR-Header and the MCNK-MapChunks, however the only Chunk, I read in any .adt-file is HCTP and it's 313kBytes long.

Edit: My _archives.Values.FirstOrDefault(a => (a.FileExists(path) != false)); says the first appearance in wow-update-base-16309.MPQ.

May this be the problem? Is the HCTP just accidentally fitting in Chunk-Format? Do I need to use world.mpq? And will http://www.ownedcore.com/forums/worl...cataclysm.html (.NET MpqLib updated for Cataclysm) (this) MpqLib automatically apply that patch, if I am opening world.mpq?

Thanks in Advance Guys

Reverse the magic, it's PTCH => Patch files. I don't know how they actualy work, but I think it like some kind of a diff-patch. You need to apply those patches to the original files inside the world.mpq (or just use crystal mpq :P)

hm, I now changed it to work with world.mpq, however it seems like it does _not_ contain Azeroth_34_19.adt anyhow?
> Do you have a new CrystalMpq Version? Mine somehow broke with the 5.X Patch (don't know which particular it was) also the lastest official release is 2010 so I doubt it has patching-methods.

btw if you have msn/icq pm me pls, would be nice

Have a look at MPQ Archives - Incremental MPQ patches
It describes how the patch files work.

So there is no premade-spoonfeeding lib, so I need to programme one on my own?
I believe the only working method is exporting all files to disk and then apply all changes.

I'll try my best the next few days, but I'd love if someone may put up his lib.
