Would be kinda neat if you could bookmark certain folders in the online storages

Local flags broken for Overwatch

Selecting a different locale for Overwatch always return all the files, because every file has "All Locale" flag for some reason.

nazjatar dooads - failed to determine filename by hash

Hi!

I faced issue with new map of nazjatar, CASC can't find pretty much all filenames by hash.

For example:
uint filedataid = 2565473;
var wowRoot = CASCHandler.Root as WowRootHandler;
var hash = wowRoot.GetHashByFileDataId(filedataid);
// gives us hash = 12054412729205539052

Is there any updates on "listfile.txt" for filenames?
i am using last version from here: https://github.com/wowdev/wow-listfile

Thanks in advance!

[FIXED] FileNotFoundException on DBFilesClient\\Map.db2

I'm trying to read DBFilesClient\Map.db2 as I was before I update to latest change of CascLib because I need FileId loading as well.

However, it will return me a FileNotFoundException, any idea ?

File.Exists returns true on "DBFilesClient\Map.db2".

` _casc = CASCHandler.OpenOnlineStorage("wow", "us");

        if (_casc.FileExists("DBFilesClient\\Map.db2"))
            _casc.OpenFile("DBFilesClient\\Map.db2");`

Am I doing something plain wrong ?

thank god!!!

thanks verrrrry much

fileid not showing

Unless I miss it in front of my nose, I can't seem to see fileids

Could they be a column ? or an additional option, like there is "Copy name" can there be "Copy id"?

Thx ! Great tool !
(btw I had to build from source to get the blp preview to work, it doesn't for me when using
https://github.com/WoW-Tools/CASCExplorer/releases/tag/CASCExplorer-v1.0.109

while at it, any chance the ogg preview would be a player instead of ascii dump?

Overwatch filelist

The new filelist type of extraction for Overwatch extracts a lot of files as packages which make the files useless, compared to the old method where you was able to get every files properly.

CASCconsole pauses during extraction till calling process terminates

I am using CASCconsole to extract UI related game files from Heroes of the Storm and SC2 from a Java app.

It works fine when I call it from my .bat files, but now I am trying to execute it from my own Java app and I run into an odd problem:
In the beginning, it works fine up to a point where the extracted files should be written. Then, the three process instances my app started only sit there with 0 CPU usage and only continue after closing my Java app. It seems like everything is done besides writing the files to my HDD. Only a few files were written until it "pauses".

TLDR:

1. Java app starts 3 CASCconsole processes to export files matching three masks
2. CASCconsole processes run with a lot of CPU usage as expected
3. CASCconsole processes drop to 0% CPU usage after a while
4. Only a few files were extracted; not all of them.
5. Once the calling Java app terminates, the processes finish writing the last remaining files and terminate themselves.

Do you have any idea what could be causing this and how I could circumvent that issue?

In the end, I would like to wait for the CASCconsole process to finish from within my Java thread to be able to visualize that the extraction is running.

edit:
I am using the v0.21-alpha release.

CASC will not load properly..

i downloaded the Latest one, i have windows 10

the first image shows which thing i click on first from the zip file to start the program...
second image shows the error i get.

i got to my wow folder (not inside it) just the wow folder to request it get files from that folder. please help :( this is getting frustrating.

i have also tried using other versions of CASC to no avail.
additionally, i tried going into the wow folder and changing the name of the indices folder, to something else, then started the game, then tried to open casc again... same error.

should the game be running or perhaps i need to cross my eyes a certain way to get this to work?

Add information to title about whats going on at the moment

Maybe add information to the main window title, so we know whats up?
Also if we're extracting things from the CDN maybe add the information about what we're extracting to the title helps.

Collaboration place?

Is there a web forum, chat room, or other location where I can find some documentation or ask questions about this project?

Generate build.info for the game [Question]

Is it possible to download only build.info for wow particular build (for example retail) (english us locale)?

I do get new wow.exe from CASCExplorer when new build comes, but there is no build.info so i can't use local storage for CASC, which works much faster then online obviously, as it take build info information from wow folder.

Thank you!

p.s. i do not use battle.net launcher

Some suggestions / Debug etc.

First thanks for your software, so here are some suggestions

• A option to disable the debug log would be fine to have inside the config, the Read - Write and Wait IO is a huge performance blocker.
• Multithreading (It seems it only can handle 1 Thread while loading against Jenkins Hash, i mean overall it can and does but is not using it for this specific job) , to use more than 25% of the avaiable ressources could be a huge improvement.

Sincerly Yours

COD: Modern Warfare online storage download error

Files not downloaded properly.
To download file used partial eKey (9 bytes), instead of full eKey. Full eKey (16 bytes) located in "download" file.

Problem of loading osi retail

Game: Diablo 2 resurrected osi retail
Both offline and online only shows jaJP language files
No locale flags

CASCHandler.FileExist(): Returns true on files that are already removed

rev 07a356e

For example:

Opening the latest WoW-Beta online storage and calling
casc.FileExists("Interface\\Worldmap\\TheStoneCore\\TheStoneCore2.blp");
Returns true, but the file doesn't really exist. You'll get an exception when calling OpenFile() on it.

Same is true for: "Interface\Worldmap\Hilsbrad\Hilsbrad1.blp" and other map files.

Please post updated CASCExlorer.zip package if you have working fix.

Duplicate Key Scanning Error

Do not require Wow.exe to load a storage.

Everything you need should be in .build.info

Add option to export listfile as a csv with filedataid and the file.

Currently It seems like the only way to get the filedataids are through a list_root program that you have to go hunting for someone who has it compiled already.

CASCGame.DetectLocalGame is unable to detect non-windows game types

For wow, macOS has

• World of Warcraft Beta.app
• World of Warcraft Test.app
• World of Warcraft.app

folders existing in the game path. In /$product/blobs/game it should have the names for other products as well.

Only WoW(Beta) is working

When i try ptr and retail sometimes it gives me errors some times stucked at downloading, why?

How to extract files with CASCConsole

I'd like to know how to extract files using the CASCConsole.

I tried the command below with the product set to hsb (Hearthstone) and online mode set to true in the config file, but without any result.
