How to add .j files by using RMPQeditor?

[boiled_vodka]

Well, Usually I use MPQMaster to extract/overwrite .j files, but MPQMaster got crashed for sum reason.
So I tried to use Ladik's but it was too hard : l
Then I skipped to use RMPQeditor. It worked well to extract the .j file but I have no idea how to overwrite it w/ RMPQeditor :S

Can sum1 help me out, pleaz

I dont think RMPQEx has that kind of option.. rebuild the MPQ like the FAQ says and youll be able to open the map using MPQMaster.

I've read the post you told me, but IT'S JUST CONFUSING :S

dont read the whole post. just read what you need and that is. rebuilding MPQ.

There was a topic about this a couple days ago.

Open the target map with MPQ Editor Old Version set to "read only" and "force opening of MPQs". Then select all of the files, and press the extract button found in operations, and select the target folder. Then open regular Mpq Editor, and select the "Build MPQ from directory" option in operations. Save as a .w3x file. open the vexorian's map optimizer, and use it on the map WITHOUT compress names selected. Then proceed to open XVI32, and use the Blocks <N> chars option from there on the regular map. Select decimal and type in 512. Hit Copy As Hex String. Go to the recently optimized map, and select the first block and hit Paste As Hex String. You now have a playable, un corrupted map.

stucked on optimizing step. it says 'couldn't find the map's script file' and there was none when did extract all files of the map Im trying to rebuild..
Theres just no .j or .i file but some .xxx format files, blp and 1 .wav file :S.... Did I do right?
Is there any options I need to check before optimizing the map? cuz I didn't check other options except the basic 2.

You should use an external listfile when you open it up in MPQ, that way the .xxx will become the known files such as .w3i and .j.

RMPQEx is a read-only editor. That being said, you can use it to help you with rebuilding the map by getting all the names, extracting everything, and placing the files into a new map.

Grrr... I messed it up :S
1st time I did rebuilding MPQ, it was around 8.3 mb.. then added cp and done optimizing but only saved 500kb.
After that I did XVI32's 512 hex (copy from origin -> paste to rebuild) then saw the map on the game list(LAN) but when clicked it on the map list, W3 got crashed...

ps. sigh. I can't attach .7z file :l

If you already rebuilt the MPQ no need to do that step with XVI32... Just rebuild it using x-dep and optimize it using vexorian optimizer..
