[Instructions] How to extract campaign maps from CASC files

General Discussion

The MPQs are gone now. A lot of people have asked how to get ahold of the old maps and other data in the new CASC format. This is one easy way.

  1. download Casc Viewer (I can’t include the link in my post, but it’s on www. zezula .net/en/ casc/ main. html )
  2. Run the viewer and open your Warcraft III directory. (Never run the game with Casc viewer open, it corrupts the data files. If by accident you do, run Warcraft III Launcher and repair install)
  3. Navigate to EnUs-war3local.mpq, or whatever your preferred country localization is.
  4. Navigate to maps and either Campaign or Frozen throne.
  5. Right click and Export the entire map folder to a location of your choice.
  6. Close casc viewer.
  7. Run worldedit and drag and drop the folder of whatever specific map you want to open into Worldedit.

This might work for importing other assets as well.

Apparently extracting the map folders with the “ignore folder structure” box checked causes them to be extracted as proper w3m and w3x files instead of these new folders.
