File Extractor - Warlords of Draenor

[Cromon]

Im using windows 8.1 and theres no need for compatibility mode here. But glad if it solved your problem.

[cecilb]

yeah, it was very weird - it worked once for me, following the steps - then just stopped.... run it in compatibility mode and it works every time.. gotta love PC's and their nuances.

also - just want to say, big thanks - I had the names by manually converting each m2 to obj, but it was painfully slow. You guys are lifesavers.

Seems to be working here. Nice work! May I ask how it works internally? Is it just hooking the Casc API's directly?

[gurluas]

After some research, the file_list appears to be very incomplete, lacking a lot of dungeon textures and .skins for the models...Very sad.

[akriso]

gurluas - yeah... need to write script or make program for file_list generation...

[gurluas]

Actually, there is another way that also works. You can open m2s and wmos in 010editor, then copy the texture filepaths to the filelist. As for skins...Just guess, a skin simply adds two digits after a filename. So... apple01.m2, would become apple0100.skin, and if it has two skins it'd be apple0101.skin So always add a couple of extra skins just incase, the extractor won't extract what wasn't there.

Ran this overnight, extractor got stuck at some point. How about a progress label?

[Cromon]

@akspa: Yes, it uses the functions from wow
@gurulas: You can extended or even gerenate your own maybe more complete list by starting with the files you have. You can make a program that parses all adt, wmo, m2 for textures, the adt for wmo and m2, the wdt/wdl für adts, the dbc for spell, create, go and item models. Skins and wmo group files can also be obtained from the m2 or wmo directly.
@Xel: Yea, i first thought about creating a progress but that makes it a lot slower. will create an updated version that lets you choose if youd like to have some progress indicator.

[gurluas]

Instead of a Progress indicator how about an indicator telling you whether it's finished, ran into an error, is working, or couldn't start.

[Cromon]

Does all of this. Errors -> messagebox, working -> progress ring, finished -> progress ring gone, launch button active again. Added a version two download with progress indication.

Great, thanks a lot for your efforts!

EDIT: I'm a happy man

There's an updated listfile in the wilds with 426367 valid file names.

[Nifelvind]

Using Windows 8.1 too and did not have to use compability mode either.

[Evarinya]

Hey, do you know how I use these files I extracted into an mpq file? I really want to use these files for wow model viewer :S

[kaelz]

Hi,
I have an issue working the program. When I hit "Launch", there's an error message :
"Unabelt to launch extractor (hModRet == null)
Could you help me please ?
