HuM->HuF working with Normal WoW Launcher.

[Snuggles]

This is very very weird.

I have been using model editing programs for quite a while now, just for simple edits so i can play as a Human Female since i like the stance.

Last night before 3.2 went live, i thought id remove the wowme.exe from my WoW folder, (dunno why, just always do) and after getting my last peice of t8.5 last night i decided that i would rather pay £12 to play a female human 'legally' since i didnt want to run the risk of getting banned while i feel like ive achieved quite a lot and so i did, lunchtime today. anyway.... i removed the wowme.exe and went to bed.

Came back from work today, installed the patch, went into my WoW folder and grabbed the 'Launcher' made a shortcut to my desktop and loaded wow. I noticed that my character was still female, i thought that perhaps the customisation had allready happened, but i didnt specify anything! Weird....

So i thougth about it for a while... then it hit me, i hadnt removed the 'Patch Z.MPQ' from my data folder before running the 'Launcher'

So... i removed it and loaded wow again with the launcher and bang, i was human male again, still with no customizable options.

Now, could someone else please try this to see if it works? put some charctaer changing MPQ into data folder, remove wowme.exe from WoW folder and run WoW with the 'Launcher' from WoW folder.

Not sure whats going on really, but perhaps blizzard implemented something in 3.2 today that allows models to be changed on wow with the original launcher, thus catching us model changers out = Banfest?

Im still awaiting customisation option that i paid for today.

Could someone try this out and get back to me.

Peace.

All of my model edits are working without wowme installed.
HuF>Scourage Male
Swift White steed>Spectral Tiger.
Very Weird but awesome :P

Same my HuF -> BeF is working too, I wonder why

[schlumpf]

Bullshit. You just haven't removed the MPQ before patching. Its merged in the files. Run repair.

[Raeli]

Fraid not... I was a human as I took it out a couple of days back, I saw this post, tested it and I'm now a BE with no wowME.

This is on enGB client if it makes any difference, but this is definitely happening, of course you can disbelieve me if you wish, but I have no reason to lie.

[Snuggles]

Does anyone know why this is happening? Should we continue to run the wowme.exe to enable our edits? or just run the launcher?

[Snuggles]

Bumpppppppppp

[schlumpf]

I don't know why I should answer again, when you just ignored my first one. Do as I said.

The Edits do work Now without WoWMe. About that your first reply Schlumpf
Dunno the reason but we had this talk at Darknest -model editing site.
Some of us thinks that Blizz lowered security (probably allowing ppl to model edit) or just trying to get hackers easier. Dno.

But you do not have to reinstall or repair.

« 20:24: May you test, if it reads MPQs now without model editing fix?

» 20:24: how do you want me to test that?

« 20:25: Get some MPQ, put it in, start, crash, write "no".

» 20:25: alrighty, sec.
» 20:26: nope
» 20:26: crashed

Its just as I said. If you don't remove your MPQs when patching, they get put in the patch.MPQ.

M8, I removed patches from my World of Warcraft and after patching I added them back there and working without WoWMe. What can you say about that then.

Also tho I gave those patches to my game -m8 and it`s working for him also.

Nice for you.
