I got a couple of Q's and i need A's

Q)What is the listfile for? do i neeed it?

Q)What is the chk file for? Why does it say It's not found when it is in the same directory as Storm.dll, SCedit, and MPQ2k (isn't in the SC folder)

Q)Why does the Scmtoolkit closes when i put a scenario.chk file in the same directory?

Q)Do i need a file called MPQrun.bat? i ask this because the MPQ2k asks for it

THanks for anyone's help!!!

Q)What is the listfile for? do i neeed it?
A) The listfile is a list of all the files in your MPQ. WinMPQ probably adds an entry there every time your add a file to your MPQ. If it is deleted, then WinMPQ won't recognize any the files and therefore they won't show up.

Q)What is the chk file for? Why does it say It's not found when it is in the same directory as Storm.dll, SCedit, and MPQ2k (isn't in the SC folder)
A) A .chk file is actually an uncompressed map. If you open any map (.scm or .scx) in an MPQ viewer, then you'll find a .chk file in there. In fact, if you change a .chk file to .scm/.scx, then it works like a normal map. All of the original missions are stored on the CD in .chk format.

Q)Why does the Scmtoolkit closes when i put a scenario.chk file in the same directory?
A) I don't know......

Q)Do i need a file called MPQrun.bat? I ask this because the MPQ2k asks for it.
A) Why are you using MPQ2K? IF it works, just use WinMPQ!

Q)Why does the Scmtoolkit closes when i put a scenario.chk file in the same directory?
A) I'm not sure, but Scm Toolkit does extract scenario.chk to it's folder when opening an scm/scx file.

Q)Do i need a file called MPQrun.bat? I ask this because the MPQ2k asks for it.
A) Mpqrun.bat is a file that Scm Toolkit creates. It is just used so Scm Toolkit will know when mpq2k is done extracting the map. Scm Toolkit deletes this file after it is done with it. Previous versions of Scm Toolkit would have you click an ok button when the file is extracted.
