libmpq is a library which can be easily used in own applications
|
||
|
|
and a set of tools for manipulating mpq archives.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
MPQ, or MoPaQ, is a proprietary archive format created by
|
||
|
|
Mike O'Brien, the man hailed as Blizzard's multiplayer engine
|
||
|
|
genius, back in 1996 as a general purpose archive for use with
|
||
|
|
Diablo, and named narcissistically for its creator
|
||
|
|
"Mike O'brien PaCK". The copyrights to it, however, are held by
|
||
|
|
Havas Interactive, Blizzard's parent company. The archive format
|
||
|
|
is used by many Blizzard titles like Diablo, Diablo 2, Starcraft,
|
||
|
|
Warcraft 2: BNE or a newer version in Warcraft 3.
