StormLib 🌪️

StormLib is a Ruby gem that provides a wrapper for the StormLib C++ library, allowing you to work with MPQ (Mo'PaQ) archives in your Ruby projects for World of Warcraft and other Blizzard games.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'stormlib'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install stormlib

Before installing the gem, make sure you have the following dependencies installed on your system:

• zlib1g-dev
• libbz2-dev
• build-essential
• libstdc++-12-dev

You can install these on Ubuntu or Debian-based systems with:

$ sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev libbz2-dev build-essential libstdc++-12-dev

Here are some examples of how to use StormLib:

require 'stormlib'

# Open an existing MPQ archive
archive = StormLib::Archive.new('game.mpq')

# List files in the archive
files = archive.list_files
puts "Files in the archive: #{files.join(', ')}"

# Extract a file from the archive
archive.extract_file('readme.txt', 'extracted_readme.txt')

# Create a new MPQ archive
new_archive = StormLib::Archive.new('new_archive.mpq', create: true)

# Add a file to the new archive
new_archive.add_file('local_file.txt', 'archived_file.txt')

# Don't forget to close the archives when you're done
archive.close
new_archive.close
