WinMPQ overflow error
 

Since today's patch I'm unable to extract any files from the Patch.mpq using WinMPQ, is anyone else having this issue?

Ugh!

I've been so busy with other stuff (ala this site, etc) that I haven't even downloaded the patch yet! :eek:

Yeah I've been getting the same error, anyone with some suggestions?

I've found a work around... (do this while the game is shut down)

Get the blizzard unpacker firstly:

Next:
Rename your world of warcraft/interface/framexml folder (i used framexml-mod).
Go into your World of Warcraft/Data Folder
Rename interface.mpq to something else (I used interface1.mpq)
Rename patch.mpq to interface.mpq

Then:
Run the blizzard unpacker.
This will unzip all of the patch files to the default Framexml folder since it thinks its unpacking the interface.mpq.

Next:
Move the files you need to modify from the framexml folder to your framexml-mod folder.

Finally:
Delete the new framexml folder.
Rename the framexml-mod folder back to framexml.
Rename your interface.mpq back to patch.mpq.
Rename your interface1.mpq back to interface.mpq

I had the same problem and so I wrote my own MPQ Archiver. It's called MPQ Archiver (ok, so I'm not very clever).

It's pretty crude and probably full of bugs, but seems to do the job. It'll only extract files right now.

You can find it at http://www.tersoft.com/WoW%20Utilities.html

I'm sure many folks will find that very handy, Tergiver, thank you for also coming over here to link it on this thread as well. (I had noticed that you just posted it over on the Blizz forums, was about to come point it out to folks myself) :)
