haax-mpq

CLI utility to build MPQ archive from a folder.

Usage

haax-mpq <directoryPath> <archivePath?>

• directoryPath: Full path to the folder
• archivePath: Full path to the output MPQ file. Default: <directoryPath>.mpq

Patchignore

You can add a .patchignore file to your archive folder that will list rules about what files shouldn't be included in the built archive. It uses a similar syntax to .gitignore files (using anymatch library).

If no .patchignore file is found, these defaults will be used:

# ignore git related stuff
.git/**
.github/**
.gitignore

# ignore all file formats that have nothing to do in patch
**/*.json
**/*.yml
**/*.yaml
**/*.exe
**/*.dll
**/*.db
**/*.csv
**/*.png
**/*.psd
**/*.txt
**/*.md
**/*.sql

# ignore special mpq files
(listfile)
(attributes)
(signature)
(user data)

.patchignore

Executable

You can also use this CLI as a standalone executable that can be found in Releases. Download haax-mpq.exe for Windows or haax-mpq for Linux. You can then drag & drop any folder you want to archive onto the executable.
