No this post isn't about using a txt-editor.

In fact it's quite simple to get access to ALL files within a mpq file.

You need to start mpq2k in the dos-command mode or by using some executer programm.

However you do it, you'll have to enter the following thing:
"mp2k.exe l [mpq filename] > output.txt"

This will generate a txt file from every file within the mpq. You now have to use a txt editor or anythin similar to cut the txt down to the format used by mpqview, but thats pretty much it...

Hope i tell you something new with that one, else i would look rather silly, pointing out well-known facts, wouldn't i.

I wish it were that simple.

I have done just what described above, and yet my data list was not complete---I got more directory entries from Jeff's data file than from concatenating all the trimmed mpq listfiles. Also, on some files the full file name was truncated (this happened for sound files with very long names a lot).

Has anybody else seen this problem?
