    [QUESTION] Is it possible to make several MPQ files into one?

    Hey
    I got a question here. Let's say I have these custom patches:

    Patch Z
    Patch S
    Patch M

    Now I want all these patches to become one big patch.
    Is that possible, and if it is, how do I do?
    I've looked everywhere.

    Thanks!

    Add all of the edited files into one patch. So instead of just adding whatever is in Patch Z, add the Patch S and Patch M files as well and don't forget the treepaths etc.

    Note: patches should be named as Patch-Z btw, just in case you didn't know

    you write down the treepaths and then extract it, and put it into the main patch MPQ file you want it to be in pretty simple tbh

    You can do so with MyWarcraftStudio, a MPQ editor:

    MyWarCraftStudio.rar

    Note two things, though:

    1) There's little reason to bother unless you're running out of available patch-#.MPQ names. For instance, if I had three model edit patches, I'd probably just name them such as patch-7.MPQ, patch-8.MPQ, and patch-9.MPQ, dropping them in my WoW data directory without combining.

    2) Some model edit patches can't be used at the same time as others without more complicated combining methods. It depends whether you're getting effectively multiple versions of the same file being modified, like two different spell swap packages could have that issue if both modified Spell.dbc. Many model edit patches don't have that issue, though, like I have a spell swap package and a separate character->creature swap in different patches active at the same time.

    Ah ok thanks. One question remaining then; is it possible to blend model patches with objects patches. Let's say I got
    Patch-Z (Model patch)
    Patch-M (Model patch)
    Patch-4 (Game object patch)

    To one patch?

    Yes, as long as there are no conflicting issues with files of the same name/treepath in the same patch.
