Editing the client

[banaantje12]

I have a working MaNGOS server:
MaNGOS rev. 2671
ScriptDev rev. 132
SDB 0.5.2

No I want my own client. All the World of Warcraft logo's must be replaced with my logo's and all World of Warcraft text must be replaced by my text.

And the icon of the laucher to!

Anyone knows how to do that? Maybe a complete 1.12.1 enUS source?

You do realize that by editing client files you are making illegal actions? Warcraft's Warden could upload that data and your IP and the rest, well you can figure that out, anyways, if you want to do it, you can try a couple of tools that are on the net such as MPQ extractors and image editing tools. Just search around.

that's hell of the work.

here are few things you should know and consider before any editing stuff:
>you will have to give all the client files to your firends/server users if they want to see the same graphics you tend to implement/change. (that's much of hosting/download bandwidth) - 1st for NO
>when blizzard releases newer WoW client, you will not be able to use the patch, because your files will be damaged and even full repair could not fix the version to vanilla one - lots of re-downloading for you and your clients... - 2nd for NO
>well, I could think of more, but previous arguments were pretty strong to let you forget of your idea..



use winMPQ for MPQ file editing/updating. of course, if you understood the methods of WoW file structure, you could make e.g. custom.MPQ which would override default logos, etc, and it would not be hell for updating, but I don't know if that's easy, as I haven't seen many override packages (usually hackpacks, but not many of them got it).

Ok, but I managed to edit the "Lunsher.exe" to get my own logo and if I take it in to C++ or Visual Basic i should be abel to make the "Lunsher.exe" take Information / News from the privet server.

Talking about illegal actions, then editing the "realmlist.wtf" is illegal.
