Sandbox for Legion Beta

[doityourself]

Sandbox is like finished... but it doesn't make sense to release anything now, because the current BfA does not start

What do you mean?

Download the BfA client and try to start it. It won't launch

That's odd.

Its an exception raised in the loader VEH. The handler is called again and again which results in a stack overflow.

Its fixable by patching those bytes:

.text:000000014002540C F4 hlt
->
.text:0000000140025413 F4 hlt

.text:000000014002BD93 F4 hlt
->
.text:000000014002BDA5 F4 hlt

.text:000000014002D532 F4 hlt
->
.text:000000014002D53D F4 hlt

.text:000000014002DB7B F4 hlt

.text:000000014002ED89 F4 hlt
->
.text:000000014002EDA7 F4 hlt

.text:0000000140026D67 F4 hlt
->
.text:0000000140026D79 F4 hlt

nop all hlt opcodes in those ranges and the loader will finish successfully.

edit:

I wont upload the binary but just run this patch:

byte[] data = File.ReadAllBytes("WoWB-64.exe");
List<int> offsets = new List<int>() {
149511, 149512, 149513, 149514, 149515, 149516, 149517, 149518, 149519, 149520, 149521, 149522,

Can someone help me out here? So how does this Alpha download work, I downloaded the Alpha from the other thread but cannot open it.
I'm dying to get the new beta models (example: The ferret companion pet / Vulpera / New Horse Mounts) in WoW Model Viewer... So, how do I do this exactly, I'm very confused.

[Mechl]

How's it looking for a sandbox update now that we have a working exe?

Thanks you for your great work

Hmmm. The 7.3.5.25928 sandbox works for the most part and I can do the major commands like fly, scale, run\flightspeed etc, but it seems some commands such as morph and commentator don't work at all.

Commentator just gives me a load screen and changes nothing(doesn't disconnect the camera from the character at all), and the only functionality the morph command has is to change spawned NPCs into little checkered boxes(usually used for NYI\WIP models). Does absolutely nothing when used to try and morph my own character no matter what npc or model ID I use.

Are there any more updates or bug fixes planned for the legion sandbox or are you just going to be focusing on the BFA alpha\beta client now, King?
