Alternatively, you can add a file to a specific subdirectory using the -d or --directory-in-archive argument.

$ echo "For The Swarm" > fts.txt

$ mpqcli add fts.txt wow-patch.mpq --path "texts\swarm.txt"

To overwrite a file in an MPQ archive, set the -w or --overwrite flag:

$ echo "For The Horde" > allegiance.txt
$ mpqcli add allegiance.txt wow-patch.mpq
[+] Adding file: allegiance.txt
$ echo "For The Alliance" > allegiance.txt
$ mpqcli add allegiance.txt wow-patch.mpq
[!] File already exists in MPQ archive: allegiance.txt - Skipping...
$ mpqcli add allegiance.txt wow-patch.mpq --overwrite
[+] File already exists in MPQ archive: allegiance.txt - Overwriting...
[+] Adding file: allegiance.txt

Add a file to an MPQ archive with a given locale

Use the --locale argument to specify the locale that the added file will have in the archive. Note that subsequent added files will have the default locale unless the --locale argument is specified again.

$ mpqcli add allianz.txt wow-patch.mpq --locale deDE
[+] Adding file for locale deDE: allianz.txt

Add a file with game-specific properties

Target a specific game version by using the -g or --game argument. This will automatically set the correct encryption rules and MPQ flags, although they can be overridden.

$ mpqcli add khwhat1.wav archive.mpq --game wc2
[+] Adding file: khwhat1.wav
