Introduction

A command-line tool to create, add, remove, list, extract, read, and verify MPQ archives using the StormLib library.

⚠️ Warning: This project is under active development and will change functionality between released versions until version 1.0.0.

Overview

This is a command-line tool, designed for automation and built with the Unix philosophy in mind. It is designed to work seamlessly with other command-line tools, supporting piping, redirection, and integration into shell scripts and workflows. For example:

  • Run one command to create an MPQ archive from a directory of files or a single file
  • Run one command to list all files in an MPQ archive
  • Pipe the output to grep or other tools to search, filter, or process files
  • Redirect output to files or other commands for further automation

If you require an MPQ tool with a graphical interface (GUI) and explicit support for more MPQ archive versions - I would recommend using Ladik’s MPQ Editor.
