WoW Color Hack WoW Color Hack (Use color-codes in text)

[AlexM]

Edit: Yeah I wrote "WoW Color Hack" twice in the title and I don't know why...you can thank marijuana for that.

I've decided to release this...

Here's an excerpt from the read-me:

        WoWColorHack.flt

        -=Preamble=-
                I'm quite surprised that no one has released
                anything similar yet - the theory behind
                this dates back to the alpha days. Hell,
                I first used this filter on my own alpha
                sandbox.

        -=Theory=-
                *Almost* all text in WoW either allows for
                or at one time allowed for the use of color
                codes. These color codes look like this:
                  The following text is |cFF00FF00 GREEN
                The tag is |c and the hex-code is obviously
                the color. These codes are used throughout
                the game and are how most, if not all,
                colored text is handled.

                So why not just
                  /say |cFF00FF00 Marijuana
                and be done with it? Well, Blizzard made the
                client automatically replace any |'s that
                typed with ||'s (which ||c is NOT a tag).
                Then the client just displays
                  |cFF00FF00 Marijuana
                (replacing ||'s with |'s for display
                purposes only).

                Thus, you have to circumvent the client's
                alterations. A packet filter in WPE Pro
                would work nicely. Perhaps if I make my
                own color tag and replace it (using a
                filter) with the actual color tag, I will
                bypass the client.

                Thanks to Diablo II's ridiculous color
                code shenanigans, Blizzard was smart this
                time and made their server start checking
                for color codes sent by you. Therefore
                filtering |c into your chat message will
                do very little because the server will
                change the |'s to ||'s. Lucky for you,
                they haven't done that everywhere.
                It's up to you to try it out here and
                there. 

                                !!!!!!!!
                      ON OFFICIAL BLIZZARD SERVERS:
                I know it still works in your guild
                information text, your guild note
                text, and your guild MOTD.

                I know it used to work in mail but
                last time I tried, it returned a 'Mail
                Database Error' or something to that
                effect.
                                !!!!!!!!
                          ON EMULATED SERVERS:
                As far as I have tested, it works in all
                text.
                                !!!!!!!!

                Pretty much everyone who has developed
                a server for WoW (presumably} knows about
                these codes and how they work which is
                why I'm surprised this sort of filter
                has yet to be released to the public.

        -=Hack=-
                This filter replaces all occurances of
                'fc' with '|c' sent from the client.
                Simply typing
                  fcFF00FF00 Marijuana
                will send
                  |cFF00FF00 Marijuana
                to the server.
                Just open it in WPE Pro, turn on the
                filter, and start your colorful
                adventure.

        -=Detectability=-
                I cannot guarentee how detectable this is.
                It requires WPE Pro which injects code
                into WoW - which Warden is known to be
                capable of watching for. On the other
                hand, I've yet to ever be banned from it
                (and have been using it on and off since
                day one). Still, my situation may be a
                little different than most which prevents
                my ban.

                Also, it would be hella-easy for Blizzard
                to to just add a few extra lines of code
                to their servers that automatically ban
                anyone who sends text with a |c in it
                instead of a ||c. Would they? Doubt it.
                Could they? Def.

Obviously virus free since it's just a WPE Pro filter.

On a final note, nothing this does is "client side only". In the above screeenshots, the colored text is visible to everyone.

Oh yeah, and please read the damn Read Me. This hack expects that you know how to work WPE Pro (not in an advanced way - just open this filter).

i see wat u are doing but theres macros that change ur colour too like this:

/run if (not scm) then scm = SendChatMessage; end; function SendChatMessage(msg, type, lang, chan) scm("\124cff00ff00\124Hitem: 19:0:0:0:0:0:0:0\124h"..msg.."\124h\124r", type, lang, chan); end;

changes your text colour to lime green i dont know if it works anymore but u can give it a try also i havent tried your colour hack yet but ill see if it works

also for some reason u can get a temp ban for using the macro dumb asss blizzard bans u for using theyre own macros

That just sends a chat message - which disconnects you because you are using the item-color tag incorrectly.

My hack lets you put color in all guild related text and (on emulated servers) you can use color in chat and mail (and if it is an especially poorly written emulated server, character names and guild names).

You need PermEdit to allow WPE to see WoW.

What are other colors?

It's a hex code...you know... [Lightness][Red][Green][Blue]
So you can make any color in the 32bit spectrum.

[jpz109]

How do you use this? I'm confused. What do I type for colors?

[xkillerb]

You can just change the color of the text within WOW with the options on chat or combat logs. Then again, it only changes it for you.

I just saw this.. I need to try this.. that is actually pretty cool..

[das Murloc]

Cant get it to work, i target Wow, open the file whit WPE, mark the box, but nothing happends,

[Dll_Injection]

This is sick man. Best post i have seen here in a while. +rep.

[Cypher]

This is interesting, nice work.
