After reviewing some comments and some thinking, I decided to remove this program. We all seemed to agree that in the end this app would be targeted by exploiters and hurt the fairness of WoW on a somewhat high level and cause too much attention in the eyes of Blizzard.


@ A_Snake01: I apologize for anything I said that offended you. I never meant to cause such an uproar of people arguing about WoW ethics. And obviously, as an unethical person who uses hacks constantly, I do have to say that you Snake are right, and I am the one who is wrong.

Modelchanging maps = instant ban in most cases...well, atleast on live servers.

Question to mods:
Can you guys change my user-name to SomeWhiteGuy? I look like a noob like this, lol. Please~ I'll ibe you my beat map editor as a way to say thanks~
I reg'ed a "SOmeWhiteGuy" account, but was unable to post, so I just went back to using this one. And now I gorgot my pw for the other account.. :\
--------------------

A map edittor refers to a program to edit the .adi and .wmo files in the WoW .MPQ file. I'm making one in Visual Basic, and man, it's a pain in the ass. So I guess I should first verify that such a thing dosn't already exist... It dosn't right? I looked all over for one for several days straight with the intention of putting an underground passage in the Warsong Gultch from one base camp to the other.

And yes, I know there is a map VIEWER, but I dont think an editor exists.

As for how far I have gotten with my project, here is a screen shot of opening Azeroth_31_49.adt (this file contains the west side of Elwyn Forest and GoldShire).

I have no response for you. You're smart enough to design an editor for warcraft, but you're stupid enough to want to exploit WSG. I am beyond angry right now. Everything I've ever said has fallen on deaf ears. It's all about gaining the unfair advantage, never about seeing what you can create. Why? Why does no one here see it? the despondency really starting to settle in on me. I'm losing hope for model editing. If you make it to facilitate the creation of terrain exploits, and release it, blizzard will do everything it can to stop model editing. I don't understand it... How you could go to such lengths for an exploit..

The anwser is because this ia a hack site. If you want to see a model VIEWING site, goto the fourm of the people who made the WoWMapCiewer.
Like, dude. Just look at the main page and count how many times you see the word "HACK" and "CHEAT".
So yeah..... I think this is more of a hacker site than a "lets all play fair <3" site.

You're right. I'm done.

Iv been doing it for the last past week. They cant detect it.
Why havent I been banned? Simple, because they know they can just make WoW kill ModelChanger.exe on startup and that would be enough. Then wow.exe will crash upon loading a section of map that does not agree with their signature file.
They tried to stop ModelChange.exe in the last patch, but it seems a new version of it came out (MCPTR6692.exe), so it's all cool.

You're right. I'm done.

Err.... dont take it the hard way. Didn't mean to piss you off. :x
If it makes you feel any better, I havent been abel to actually use this without falling into eternity yet. :\

Looks like quite an amazing program... It's the fact that you made it simply to cheat in WSG which is viewed as quite pathetic and upsetting. There are many ways of exploiting WSG as it is, and when you use an amazing, dieing art form, it's quite a pain to see. We'd rather not see a quite impressive program, which can be used to create astonishing things, used in such a vulgar way, which is very likely to push Blizzard to create more nerfs to prevent us from creating.

Infecting an art form. It's like huffing an artist's paint...

You could actually make some pretty nice maps for custom content in private servers. If you want id like to discuss some things with you. The WSG hackin part doesnt really bother me though. Your program interests me

[SomeWhiteGuy]

@idusy: I can't reply to PMs because my account apparently is to new. (Need to make ten more posts).
But to anwser your question; I haven't yet released the program yet. It's to buggy to work outside my own Visual Basic compiler.

I could probably get a an alpha or beta out by tonight if you guys actually want it.

That would be lovely.

[holy.concept]

YOU ARE MY HERO! Please, PM me an alpha client or post it, I love you!!

Nearly Speechless...

Very nice program dude.

Expect the nerf in about a week or two. Was bound to happen eventually...

Enjoy the program while it lasts.

Believe what you wish, doesn't make much difference.
