<@271350028985958408> i got the response, we do not have the original notes, but the exact method we used was enumerating every single mpq, then placing the newest version of `AccountLogin.lua` in each of them and then replacing the saved account name (`GetSavedAccountName()`) with the mpq number, then restarting the game -> removing it from the loaded mpq until we've gone through all mpqs. If you want to use it, I can do it as well for parity since it's a fairly manual method

Couldn't you just add the same file in all those patches and just see which is used? like grass in elwynn?, then delete backwards through the patches to see the order?
A bit tedious though :/

Thanks for the idea and looking into it, I'm happy to plough through it manually or it might suddenly come to me where someone had done the research before (my searches and memory is failing me). Either way probably won't get round to it tonight

oh, and do NOT make any assumptions that locale or patch files always comes before or after base mpqs, the crappy notes I do have suggests locale files load first, but that their patch files load before some of their other files (which is why i'm not trusting the notes at all)

I wouldn't be surprised if there's hardcoded references to shaders in particular MPQs in the client or similar
