    So i need a tauren female shaman NPC sounds for my map, i found them in World of Warcraft\Data\enGB\speech-enGB.MPQ. But Ladik`s mpq editor cant extract ogg files from this archive properly. May be its just my archive/editor bugged and someone can help me to do this? I need several "attack","what","yes","hello","greeting" sounds in ogg or mp3 format. Ill be totaly dissappointed if files are protected and impossible to extract. =(

    @Dzuke911: Go

    Try using WoW Model Viewer to extract them.

    I tried to use WMV 7.0.4 for saving oggs - it doesnt work at all. Ladik`s editor works with sound.mpq perfectly, but it doesnt work with speech-xxx.mpq for me. =(

    WinMPQ can open the German localization of that. So, it should work with the American one, too. http://sfsrealm.hopto.org/dwnload.html#WinMPQ

    WinMPQ did same thing as Ladik`s MPQ:it opens speech.mpq file, but then it extract broken file that cant be played via any player or SC2 editor. OGGs from Sound.mpq extracted perfectly by any extractor - but all sounds i need from speech.mpq are broken and i cant use them =((( seems they are protected by blizzs.

    As far a I know, Blizzard doesn´t protect any of their mpq´s. If you can extract them but can´t play them, then it´s most likely that the audio player doesn´t support OGG´s. When I import an OGG from the speech.mps and play it in the editor it just works. Are you sure you don´t have the sound disabled/muted?

    So basically, generally and obviously... add more rocks.
    Hope is just deferred disapointment.
    Dropbox is an easy way to share maps between project members.

    I use standart windows media player and tried to play them in sc2editor - it plays ogg`s from sound.mpq but cant play ogg`s from speech.mpq.

    Exaken, please, can u extract it for me? i need all ogg`s from folders: Sound/Creature/TaurenFemaleShamanNPC and Sound/Characters/TaurenVocalFemale from speech-enGB.MPQ ( or speech-enUS.MPQ).

    so i just figured problem: my speech-enGB.MPQ is broken - i have also speech-ruRU.MPQ and Ladik extracted same ogg file without any problems. ill try to launch wow repair - may be it will download required file.

    When I open them in WMP it says it doesn´t recognize them. Anyway, here you go.

    Big big big thx!!!!

    you just need codecs for playing ogg by WMP i think. I downloaded codecs with ogg convertor and my WMP can play files you extracted.
