Errors

Not enough space on the disk

If such an error occurs when adding files, you should recreate the archive by specifying the maximum number of files.

example.bat

rem Set variables.
set MPQEditor=D:\MPQEditor.exe
set MapFile=D:\MyMap.w3x
set MapFileBackup=D:\MyMap_backup.w3x
set MapTempDir=D:\MyMapTempDir

rem Extract the files to a temporary folder.
rd %MapTempDir% /s /q
%MPQEditor% /extract %MapFile% "*" %MapTempDir% /fp

rem Create backup
echo F|xcopy %MapFile% %MapFileBackup% /y

rem Delete map file
del %MapFile%

rem Create a new archive and set the file limit to 500.
