How To see rogues and target other types better.....

[Dianetix]

Hi all...ok my first exploit post. :-)
(I have tried it and it does work).

You all know just how hard (and annoying) it is when from out of no-where a rogue pops up and slices you to bits? Or how annoying it is to try and target a small human dwarf etc in a BG?

Well try this and you will not have a problem again.

REMEMBER: BEFORE you do this back up your wow folder in case you make a mistake. AND also remember that this effects YOUR computer only….no one else playing wow will see what you see. ;-)

First of all go download a program called WinMPQ. WinMPQ is a great little prog that lets you unpack the .MPQ files in the data file area in your world of warcraft folder.

When you have unpacked the files, go find a nice well known character, such as a Fire elemental.

Then you simply take the Fire Elemental graphic (or whatever you decided to choose) and put it in your wow folder, which by default is: C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Data. You then call it (for example) Human Dwarf, so that your wow installation will think that a human dwarf (or rogue or whatever you picked) looks like a Fire Elemental… ;-)

Now the fun part.

When you “See” a rogue/dwarf/whatever on screen you will see the Fire elemental instead. So how does this help you?

Easy……… Small player characters will stand out MUCH better and from a greater distance than there default graphics, and they will be easer to target too!

Also rogues seem (and I say seem, because they do for my shammy!) to appear to you quite a bit further away when they are stealthing than they normally do. A friend of mine stealthed to test this out when I was doing it and I could see him at least twice the normal distance away in stealth then when his graphic was normal.

I asked a friend of mine who used to work as a GM about this and was told that in the current patch the way a graphic loads in and displays was changed slightly which would account for why I could see my m8 before I should have done.

So I hope this helps some of you. I know that this works as I did it myself several weeks ago, and I did check the search in the forum to see if this had been posted before and it did not come up with anything.

Thanks for looking!

or make the gnomes/dw0rves look like Gruul!

It's funny because most people ignore giant models. Eg. Getting raped by a Fel Reaver.

Easier targeting? You could just use tab. The stealth detection part seems cool tough.

tab ftw all i got to say

[danthorg]

ahaha nice one

[hordewarrior]

Good one, will try it out once I have paid a month for wow again.

[Captain Planet]

or you could change all the stealthed models to huge ones

Or change stealth animation to something like blessing of freedom or hellfire.

seem a pointless effort to make them easier to "click on" when you could tab target (default 'tab' key) or target and auto-attack (default 't' key)

but seeing through stealth before the normal time is nice too

Lawl! nice. I Made Gnomes Look Like Illidan :P
Good For a Twink Server

[Leethax]

Well sounds good. though I always use tab so dont really need it

[gregox]

lolz nice one

[Drax13]

well theres a macro that autotargets the closest to you and casts a spell in my case sence im a rogue, sap. maybe it could be alterd to cast say icelance ?

#showtooltip Sap
/console targetNearestDistance 10.000000
/targetenemy [noharm][dead]
/console targetNearestDistance 41.000000
/cast [harm,nodead] Sap

Why not edit the Stealth animation so when they stealth it looks normal? Is that possible?
