How to bypass Itemcache editing in 2.4

[qosmio]

Dear Memebers oF mmowned.com ,

I have been on this site of quite a while now , and thought it time I gave this site a contribution .
As you guys might be or might not be aware , Blizzard has indeed gone hard on model editing in 2.4 . Therefore meaning WoWME of 2.3 will not work on 2.4 . Therefore a fix as been released . I am not going to honor and post it here as it is not a property of mine , nor have the permission .

But

What I can tell you a BAD news , Blizzard has changed the “Structure of the Itemcache “ which the classic way of changing your weapons is not possible anymore

But

I can show you guys how to do it , its bit faster than the old way and easier too .

Ok , what we need there do this is . 2 things :
1) An Hex Editor ( hex Workshop )
2) The old itemcache (2.3 )

Steps to do so :
1) Open the 2.3 itemcache with the Hex editor
2) Search (text string ) for which item you want to replace . For example ( Gladiator’s Pummeler)
Once you done searching you’ll find yourself looking at the right side something like this. Gladiator's Pummeler.Gladiator's Pummeler.Gladiator's Pummeler.Gladiator's Pummeler.n
3) Go to the last letter of the last word of the item ( THE LAST WORD ) ( which is r ) and not ( .n)
4) Highlight it ( r)
5) Look at your screen on the left and you’ll see yourself looking at this figure ‘72’ and after it is ’00’ u need to go to move right after the ‘00’ and you’ll find these these figures ‘6E99’ .( remember items differ so codes differ . EVER ITEM HAS A UNIQUE CODE )
6) The ’00’ will always be there so u need to always looking for the figures after it . that’s what we going to be changing .
7) So now we know what the code for Gladiator's Pummeler is ‘ 6E99
Open Itemcache (2.4) with hex editor
9) Search (hex value ) code of the item u just looked up in itemcache 2.3 (Gladiator's Pummeler is ‘ 6E99)
10) Once you search it will show on your screen on the right ( ‘Gladiator's Pummeler ) and the code on the left .
11) ]This is where Blizzard tried to hide it , but I guess we where just too smart . Just simple replace that code with the item code of the weapon/item u want .
12) ]OMG ! don’t ask me how you find the code again ! .. Just open the 2.3 itemcache and find the code …. Everything is up there :P ( professionals ignore this
13) Have fun .
you Screwed ur itemcache ? . Just delete it . And run WoW . it will come back automatically fixed

yeh, an alternative is to look 6 0's after the highlighted letters and there are the numbers/letters to alter.

The WDB structure changes almost every major patch.

My New Version of MES is out as well that fixes the structure change

Also what they did is instead of 1 trailing 0x00 After the string there is now 4. They also removed the duplicated names

before the Structure was

Field - 1 itemID - Integer
Field - 2 entryLength - Integer
Field - 3 itemClassID - Integer
Field - 4 itemSubClassID - Integer
Field - 5 Unknown - Unknown
Field - 6 name - String - With 1 Trailing 0
Field - 7 name - String - With 1 Trailing 0
Field - 8 name - String - With 1 Trailing 0
Field - 9 name - String - With 1 Trailing 0
Field - 10 itemdisplayID - Integer

Now the Structure is

Field - 1 itemID - Integer
Field - 2 entryLength - Integer
Field - 3 itemClassID - Integer
Field - 4 itemSubClassID - Integer
Field - 5 Unknown - Unknown
Field - 6 name - String - - With 4 Trailing 0's
Field - 7 itemdisplayID - Integer

There was also 134 Fields total so far i can find around 128

This is all we need to know, the rest is just a complicated around it. Nice post tho
