WoWME for Warlords of Draenor

[akriso]

Take the latest MOP build, create a combined listfile of all MPQs -> covers approx 95% of all filenames. Extract map.dbc from the new client. Loop through all the maps and check all adts (from 0/0to 64/64) -> you get all terrain files. Loop through all adt files and extract wmo and m2 paths -> all non-creature and non-gameobject models. Open the creature, item, gameobject and spell dbcs and extract all model files -> all gameobject, creature, item and spell m2 files. Extract textures from adt, wmo and m2. Youll have > 99% of all files.

can are u give mor inf about how to do it ? ( Loop through all the maps and check all adts ... ) etc

Well, youd have to parse the files and extract the file names. For example from map.dbc you get the names of the continents. Every possible adt has the form: world\maps\continent\continent_XX_YY.adt where XX and YY go from 0 to 63. So you can simply create a list of all those files and try extracting them. The MWMO and MMDX chunks of an ADT contain the list of all wmo and m2 models used in the adt. You can write those into the list as well. So basically youd just have to parse all the files and you get a lot of names.

Cromon, any chance you'd be willing to share what it was you changed in the client?

I tried using Modcraft - View topic - [TOOL]*Replace binary patterns in files with given data on the WoD client. It claimed to be succesfull, but I still can't get the files to load on the current build. It might be that my files are outdated, but I'd like to doublecheck.

Thanks

Hello GuBehT

The changes are in CASOpenFile. This function has the following signature:
bool CASOpenFile(const char* codeFile, unsigned int line, const char* fileName, CASFILE* outFile, int flags)

And you can find this part:

  if ( a5 & 1 )
  {
    v8 = sub_411196(a3, v5, v6, &v13, 260);
   ....

Which essential points here:

.text:00412ACD                 test    byte ptr [ebp+arg_10], 1
.text:00412AD1                 mov     [ebp+var_8], eax
.text:00412AD4                 mov     [ebp+var_4], edx
.text:00412AD7                 mov     dword ptr [esi+4], 2
.text:00412AE1                 jz      short loc_412B61

You change the first instruction to:
test byte ptr [ebp+arg_10], 0

and the last to:
jnz short loc_412B61

[GuBehT]

Thanks a lot.

Now to do some testing! (Or rather, tomorrow)

It's good to know that the old archiveOverride still exists in one way or another. I still use this method for testing world edits in 3.3.5, which makes life 100 times easier than having to repack questionable edits into MPQ files over and over again. Thanks for researching this, Cromon!

Thanks Cromon !
However, I didn't find "CASOpenFile" in WowB.exe with IDA with the latest build (18505) and there isn't any "test byte ptr[ebp+arg_10, 1" at 412ACD, which makes me wonder how jh16 did it :

I know that the locations have changed between the moment you made your post Cromon and now (new build), but I would like to know where to look for so I could do this myself.

Thanks in advance

new build 18522 updated,and is there a new offset or patched build?
I have no experience with IDA or other tools.
