From now on 3DArmory.com, we’ll post articles, tool reviews on WOW Machinima. The very first tool we gonna review is the WOWNima MPQ Extractor from http://www.wownima.com.

WOWNima MPQ Extractor is a WOTLK compatible extractor for your Machinima needs.  If you’re already on the machinima scene, sure you’re already aware that Blizzard had changed MPQ file structure with WOTLK expansion which rendered most MPQ tools unusable. Though, WOWNima extractor is WOTLK (patch 3.0.9+) compatible.

Download it from: http://www.wownima.com/downloads/wownima_extractor-0.1.zip

Installation

Just download the zip file above, extract and run the setup.

The Program

When you run the program, you’ll see a screen similar to this:

The program will try to locate your World of Warcraft folder or ask you so and then will list you the avaible MPQs. From the MPQ list, select the ones that you want to be extracted. There’re progress indicators on the bottom and finaly you’ll get the extracted contents.

We’ve also created a sub-forum for Machinima discussions and WOWnima extractor questions avaible over http://forums.battlearmory.com/forumdisplay.php?f=29
