I've been using the empty scan-files since Demonkunga uploaded them and they've worked grate. No GM-talk or anything... yet.

[ultramega]

So fo model edits that don't require MEfix, they are still not being detected?

[Ivoivo]

so what fix is safe to use

Since it can't scan without scanfiles the WoWME should be safe atm.

Scan hooks into the login, it doesnt scan while your playing.

Still, the blank scan-files won't scan at all.

Removing WDB editing (or even MPQ editing for that matter) would put way too much strain on the servers. Things are client side for a reason and they work best that way.

---Then you could have a game like Age of Conan that has TOO much client side material >.>
*cough* 25gigs *cough*

True, but Blizzard has other viable options to remove editing. First of all, as seen by the recent scan.dll fiasco, they can simply implement several client-side checks that would place virtually no extra load on their servers. If they are serious, for MPQs at least, they can detect and ban. For .wdb edits, however, it is both harder to prove intentional tampering and probably not worth the effort to police as it offers nearly no advantage to players using them.

Been using the blank .dll's and racial change for the last 2 days and no bans or emails or warnings, GM contacts or anything here. As said they have many effective ways to deal with model editors but implementing them is pretty pointless as most model edits are just simply Blizzard files anyway but its impossible really for them to distuingish different cases without implementing big changes in policy; i think this recent change is just a scare tactic to put off most people doing it.

My WoWME is not loading up WoW, only the launcher will load it. :confused: Even with the fix made by demonkunga

[Phoen!x]

What about the Kynox's Fix ?
It work for me o/

[Baun]

Ok they got it, earlier than i expected. Now it says "Coundn't check the Gameversion..." Yo Kunga, any Idea how to get this working now?

[busorjan]

Press f8 before login, it will make the fix quit.

[Baun]

Okay, this happens when u forget to hit f8 once, u instantly think damn they got it:wave:
Sorry for that, trying to get into these ME's. kind of like if.

The funny thing is that Blizzard will keep on nerfing it aslong as "fixes" like these are posted on public forums. Blizzard can see this too, you know.


Anyways, ty.
