a smarter approach than looping over every possible combination of valid ascii file names?

well somehow you have to come up with directory paths and file names;
i dont think fully (or partially) randomized generation of a full path + file name is a valid strategy

doing a smart approach will certainly cut down on computation time... the only problem i see is if they purposefully generated unusual file names to hamper reversing with smart approaches/constraints.
using special characters like german äöüß, emojis (lol) or forward slashes.
the hashing function works on any data, not just "valid" or expexted strings is what i mean ^^
anyway, will be addressed as a future addition to my mpq library

well thats definitely NOT a feasible way to bruteforce a MPQ, but as always if it's your hobby then enjoy what ur doing

collisions are a worry with bruteforcing the primitive hashing scheme old blizz stuff uses (and even some current blizz stuff)

if its similar to the db2 tablehash one at least

that one is extremely collision prone

even with a wordlist and limiting it to valid characters its extremely rough

so hopefully mpqs arent as bad
