if your mpq did that to it self becuase it was old sometimes it happens to me dont know why

you have to extract the listfile and change it to txt by save us all and name it listfile.txt by notepad ++

but if someone took out the listfile by purpose if his path are custom paths I dont think its possible

I'd say he doesn't even know how to actually use listfile. Forgive me if I'm wrong though.

I am now completely retired from modding. I am still reading PMs and reacting to them, however, I am not keeping up to date with what is going on in the community and my ability to help you is becoming very limited - I no longer remember some things, I don't have tools installed anymore, and I don't know what is up to date nowadays.

And it didnt work, :( i guess I need the original listfile, or one that resembles one from 3.3.5a.  But i learned something new today.

Well, if there are any custom files you wouldn't find in any blizzlike client version, you are screwed and need original listfile.

Ok, I am doomed.  IT isnt my file, so no Listfile.txt :(  

Its suposed to be Desed work, http://www.ac-web.org/forums/showthread.php?193993-Release-Siege-of-Orgrimmar-Timeless-Isle-Darkmoon-Faire&p=2264239#post2264239

Sorry to necro this.   How about editing a file inside the encrypted file.  Lets say I located the DBC files and want to delete them, but the option is disable.  Any work around this?

You need to open the current MPQ with your listfile, and extract all of its contents and make a new MPQ. I believe once someone encrypts the MPQ, it's no longer editable.

If there are any custom filenames, you will have to rebuild the structure by anazying the files. On old clients it is possible to do 100% for the files that are actually used and referenced by the game DBs, ADTs or models. 

Also this whole MPQ listfile removal process is not encryption.
