Hello everyone, first post here. so I've seen this post And I'm wondering If I could do the same with MPQ files for WoW Cataclysm? I know Twinstar.cz (Apollo-WoW) have done it, so I know it's possible. Anyone has ideas on how can I start this? Thanks.

Thank you for replying! However, I've setup my own cataclysm client and server (https://github.com/The-Cataclysm-Preservation-Project/TrinityCore) and it still works (it is still downloading in the background), so I think this is different from what you are describing. After a bit of research, I've discovered that there is a file: WoW.mfil that describes the server that they are using: version=2 server=limelight location=http://cdn.twinstar-wow.eu/15050.direct/ server=limelight location=http://cdn.sispnet.de/15050.direct/ manifest_partial=wow-15595-0C3502F50D17376754B9E9CB0109F4C5.mfil So they are using limelight (after googling it turns out to be a cdn) and they have these addresses: http://cdn.twinstar-wow.eu/15050.direct/ and http://cdn.sispnet.de/15050.direct/ when you add manifest_partial to the first address you get this: http://cdn.twinstar-wow.eu/15050.direct/wow-15595-0C3502F50D17376754B9E9CB0109F4C5.mfil If you click on that link you'll actually find a document containing the paths, sizes, locales of the all MPQ files needed by the client. it seems that this manifest_partial tells the client where to download these files. We can actually append the path of the MPQ files to the address and get the file like so: Downloading world.MPQ for example: http://cdn.twinstar-wow.eu/15050.direct/Data/world.MPQ So how are they setting up their server? Is it simply serving this document on the manfiest_partial endpoint and hosting the MPQ files? This seems too good to be true. Again, If anyone got any ideas please share!
