[Gear Swap] How to gear swap with hex editor [4.0.1]

[recklesss]

Hello everyone,

I saw a few post about people wondering how to gearswap in the new patch 4.0.1.

I found out how it worked for me and decided to make a little guide for those that haven't been able to figure it out yet.


1. First off u need a Hex Editor such as XVI32(the one I use).

2. Open the program and search for Item.adb(for me its C:\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft\Cache\ADB\enGB") Open the Item.adb.

3. Ones you have opened the Item.adb file u want to go to wow.allakhazam.com and search for the item that u want to chance(the item u really have ingame) and find the display info of that item( search ur item on the site, click on it, right site ull see "xml" click on that and look for item display), here's a screenie:

4. If you have found the display info code like u can see selected on the screenie, u want to copy that display info and use a hex calculator like this one: Index DOT Html/Css Hex Calculator. then U copy the displayinfo in that calculator and press Hex, now you will have the code. This is what mine looks like:

5. As you can see on the screenshot it says "FB54" which is ALMOST the code u want to look for, the only thing u must do it switch the number arround so "FB54" becomes "54FB" and voila thats the display info of the item u were ingame.

6. Now u go back to ur XVI32(hex editor) and press ctrl + F (search): as you can see I have "Hex String" selected instead of "Text String" so you should too. After uve "Hex String" selected u can type in the display info, if u look back to step 5 of this guide you know how u must type it in there, which for me is "54FB". You hit the "Ok" button to start the search.

7. If you've followed the guide correctly u should find the item u wearing ingame like this: .

8. Now you can just repeat step 3 + 4 + 5 to find the display info and change the info that uve just found to the display info that u want ur item to look like ingame.

I hope this 'guide' will help some people, I know its prolly a terrible guide as I've never made a guide before and I didnt have much time to make it.

Good Luck! If you need any help or more information, just replay to this post and ill try to assist you.

It does work, but here some tips how to avoid mistakes:

(i had no idea how to do it, took me about 10-20 minutes )
Make sure World of Warcraft is closed!!
After u opened the file with the editor, click on the button "search" and then "replace".

Find --> hex number of original model replace with hex of ur model u whish to replace with.
Click on "replace all". Afther you finished this process, click on "file" -> "save".

It works, thanks for your guide.
