Imitate GM Whispers through GMotD (2.4)

[Saiket]

Exploit hotfixed 2008-04-04. GMotD now under same restrictions as normal chat, except newlines are allowed.


Note: My original thread about GMotD exploits is too old to bump. It's updated however, and can be viewed here. Just know that this isn't a repost.

On that note, I'll get straight to the new exploit. The theory behind it and variations on it can be viewed at the threat linked above.

1. Fake GM Tell (2.4):

   /run local p,m,g,s="","",GuildSetMOTD,GetGuildRosterMOTD()g(s.."\r\124TInterface\\ChatFrame\\UI-ChatIcon-Blizz.blp:18:12:0:-1\124t \124cffff80ff\124Hplayer:"..p.."\124h["..p.."]\124h whispers: "..m.."\124r")g(s)

   Add the player name and message text into the two empty sets of quotes for the desired effect. Unlike the original tell macro, this one has the official GM logo from patch 2.4 in front of it; see below. Note that the macro is cramped for space. If you need more room for the whisper text, brush up on your Lua coding and use a variable containing the message.
   
   Here's a shot of the 2.4 GM message whisper:
   

As an interesting side note, you can send any images in the game client over chat. You can also specify any size for the image, and offsets for where the image should be rendered.

Details on the syntax on the official UI-Macro Forum. Backup of blue posts in case the first link is down.

What are the odds of getting caught doing something like this?

(I reallly like the roll idea, I most likely would never use it to win anything big though.)

+Rep Good exploit

if this is right couldn't you just use a trial account to scam?

[Pinkedz]

Doesn't work.

[Saiket]

You've gotta be in a guild, you need GMotD edit privileges, and only guild members will see it.

It's in the post I linked right at the top.

[Combate]

Doesn't work. too for me

[padman]

[Snake2k]

Yes it works, but the Makro size is to small :/

how to put there other image than Blizz logo ? show me an example

[Phygar]

Go learn model editing. And replace \r\124TInterface\\ChatFrame\\UI-ChatIcon-Blizz.blp with another picture.

Errr... it's probably just in the interface folder. put in the file relative to the interface\addons folder.

Here's a simplified version that just puts an image below the GMotD:

/run local g,s=GuildSetMOTD,GetGuildRosterMOTD()g(s.."\r\124TPath\\To\\Icon:Width:height\124t")g(s)

You can replace that Path\\To\\Icon with any texture path in the game client, as long as you use double backslashes. For example to show a Blessing of Salvation icon 64 by 64 pixels, use this:

/run local g,s=GuildSetMOTD,GetGuildRosterMOTD()g(s.."\r\124TInterface\\Icons\\Spell_Holy_GreaterBlessingofSalvation:64:64\124t")g(s)

so to get this right it shows that ur GM?

[Saiket]

so to get this right it shows that ur GM?

It just makes one fake chat message that looks legit. You can add any message you want to the whisper, and you can make it look like it came from any person by changing the name.
