Cache -> Maps tool.

r6

Default: Prints cachefolder path.

Option 1: Prints mapnames and locations from local cachefiles

1. Find all *.s2ma files from the cachefolder.
2. Using MpqLib to open the s2ma files.
3. Get mapname without using locale ( ugly hack read from MapScript.galaxy autogenerated comments )
4. Print Mapnames plus location
5. repeat 4 until all valid maps have been printed.

also has an option to sort by Creation date.

Option 2: Copy cache maps to .\Maps and renaming them to <mapname>+<Creation date>.sc2map

1. Find all *.s2ma files from the cachefolder.
2. Get mapnames without using locale using MpqLib.
3. Copy the .s2ma files to .\Maps and rename them to mapname.sc2map.

Option 3:

Same as Option 1, but does not print the mapnames( only locations ). Also has an option to print raw locations.

What may be coming:

• Save locations to file.
• Smaller size of application by integrating a new mpqlib made by myself.

  Hi,

  Can anyone teach me how to run this? I really have no idea how to make this work at all. How do you use MpqLib to open the *.s2ma files? The MpqLib.dll can't run for me. Sorry if this is a noob's question.

  Thanks.

  In fact, that's what I did. I used date sort... But yeah, it would be really nice if you could change the system. :P Perhaps make it so that those unsupported characters change to something else, or that the tool simply ignores those characters? Or perhaps even an option to not rename the files, just keep them in their weird random name, but still turn them into map files...

  @Alex06 Yes, my errorhandling seems pretty crappy. For example if a map has some unsupported characters by windows file management, it would probably crash. If there is a error in opening the mapfiles for filenames, The other files will crash. I should rewrite this system. Thus if there is any error with mpqlib, it will crash.

  Have you tried to use option 1 with date sort? Atleast it gives some info to go on.

  It crashes when I try to get it to save the 389 maps it found in the cache to a folder...There are some really nice maps I have downloaded and want to get on my laptop for offline play without having to log in and download them again there too, especially since after a patch, all maps are cleared from the cache... This tool would be really useful, if it worked. It keeps telling me the program has stopped responding after 5 seconds of choosing option 2. R5 didn't crash, but it did only copy barely a few of the maps...Is there any way to fix this or do this manually? Hm...

  New version uploaded. Hopefully fixes the application. Also all the maps have an unique identifier, though temporary it is the file creation date. Works for now.

  Yes, its a little broken right now. If you use the maplisting, you can see that it detect most of the maps, though something prevents it doing what it is supposed to do. I will see if i can put up a new rev soon.

  Edit: Yeah, out of around 170 detected maps, only around 13 gets copied. Will see what i can do. Also if you use option 1, its kinda a bummer that the console windows flushes a lot of maplocations.

  First its a very useful tool. But it doesn't find every map or at least not the one i need. Also when I do option 2 I get like 5 maps but I have definitively more than 100...

  There is currently a problem with mpqlib, cannot idenfify it yet - but printing out names seems to be unstable. Also there is a problem with outputting files if the files exist.. It ignores all of the other files if such a case happens. Which is frequent. The second problem is fixed, but the first one is harder. Will see if a new version is up soon.

  Thanks for this cool tool theb0rg,

  In regards to complaints, you do not need this tool to do it.
