You probably created the MPQ with the MPQ compactor, right? The MPQ compactor makes MPQs as small as possible by limiting the number of files you can have, that's why you're getting this problem. Just use the MPQ compactor to put your graphics into your MPQ instead of WinMPQ. Or you could do the whole thing manually using WinMPQ. It's a bit difficult to use both at the same time.

Then use the "Add Folder" button and select your folder. If everything is in the right path and you don't enter anything in the "Path" dialog box, it'll add the folder as is, so everything should end up fine.

Maybe if you clicked on Options... and changed the maximum files from 19 to 1024... tongue.gif

Note: this limit will only effect new MPQs, the limits will remain the same for openned MPQs.

...you mean the MPQ?

If so, it should be able to handle up to about 2 megabytes...this sounds like a computer problem. tongue.gif

5,200kb is 5.2mb, TERRAINFIGHTER. tongue.gif But StarDat.mpq has like 80 megabytes or something, doesn't it? (I don't have SC on this computer.)

...I thought you said 520... tongue.gif

And I'm pretty sure StarDat is only 2mb, but I can't really check it to find out...
Maybe you need to fill your MPQs up with less junk? If they're bigger than the originals, then that's a pretty big problem... blink.gif

Try using the "Compact" function in WinMPQ. It helps sometimes.
