don't ever edit the original MPQ files, instead just add to a new MPQ with a later load order

it's not possible to delete data from a MPQ, you just delete the pointer to the data. So whenever you add a file it keeps growing in size until you rebuild the MPQ. Also it's easy to break stuff when editing the blizzlike MPQs
