WoW alpha MPQ maps

[Avatarxxx]

Guys,i wanna ask if anyone know how to pull out old maps from wow alpha.

I ALREADY TRIED MYSELF:
My PROBLEM is that when i open Azeroth.wdt.MPQ archive(maps are in that one,ye i know really different from today wow) in any MPQEditor(MWCS show everything blank) just give me File00000000.xxx file,or unknown files:

File000something.xxx-around 700mb
File000something.xxx-really small one
attributes file

So my question is,anyone knows how maps can be pulled out from this archive???
TNX!! :mrgreen:

just different format. don't pay attention to file names, files unpacks correctly. a 16 byte file is a md5 of a large (you can check it). but what is a structure of a large file - I have no idea.

The structure of the large file is a mixture of WDT and all ADT files available. They just had everything in one big file back then. You can actually split that file up in ADTs. Its one chunk per ADT.
