Model Editing UnNerfed This Maintenance

[dalnar]

It appears Blizzard has removed the function of ignoring ambiguous MPQ files. You may once again load single or multiple MPQ's using the old naming template: "patch-x" without the use of the CFG.

Pics or it never happened.

Pics prove nothing as you could pack a bunch of edits into a single mpq anyway.

Try it yourself; Rename your mpq's to the old template, clear your .cfg file and use the exe to open WoW.

I am not explaining how the new method works, nor am I posting links to the files. I am simply letting everyone know that the "new" method is no longer necessary.

Does this work? anyone confirmed this?
Does this mean that you no longer need the wowme thing? just old things?

Wait...when could you -not- load ambiguous MPQs? There has long been a problem loading MPQs with m2s in them, but haven't regular old patch-x.mpqs worked as long as they only had blps in them...like forever?

I am talking about mpq's with .m2 extensions in them. As long as you name the mpq patch-x, you can open WoW with the force .exe and you will have the patch-x applied. You don't have to put anything in the .cfg file. Which was required before.

As an example, I'm am currently running 4 different mpq files (with m2's) and my .cfg file is blank.

Point being, I bet if someone updated the old ModelEdit.exe for the live version, it would work.
