WMV and 6.0.2
I'm getting this error when I try to load (the newest version of) WMV:
Fatal Error: Could not read data from MPQ files.
Please make sure World of Warcraft is not running.
And no, it's not running. Is it simply because it hasn't been updated yet?
I'll be waiting on the highland, with its wonderful serenity.
Where the stars glow and the brooks flow, that's my way of life.
When the mountains on the highland, and the nature is surrounding me, when the wind blows, that's all I need.

Re: WMV and 6.0.2
Anyway, thanks for the feedback. I guess we just have to wait then.

Re: WMV and 6.0.2
You can convert stuff to work in WMV using a CASC file reader such as http://www.zezula.net/en/casc/main.html to extract the models you're after then creating your own MPQ archive for WMV to read using http://www.zezula.net/en/mpq/download.html .
But it's more complicated than that, so hopefully you know what you're doing. If not I can post a more detailed explanation at some point, I just don't have time atm

Thank you for that, but I was only going to use WMV for creating an updated signature. But I think I'll wait until they update it.Wain wrote:There's still no update.

Re: WMV and 6.0.2
and the wowhead model viewer is way to small and you cannot pause it >_>
I forgot to turn of the autoupdate in Bnet and wasn't able to backup the current mpq files in separate folder >_>
You either go the less the savory way I guess trying to get an older patch/install of wow
or if you have the install cd of Mop you can make a install a separate drive/folder and just keep the MPQ files of that and delete the rest. (not sure if that is actually still possible?)
unless you want the new 6.0 stuff then I guess you have to go the Wain way :3
Re: WMV and 6.0.2
To get it to show Draenor stuff you need to assemble an extra mpq file that contains models that you extract from the new game. But that's another story for another post.
However the good news is that WMV development has restarted and Jeromnimo is working on creating a casc version now.
