[Beta] Item Model Swapper for 4.0.3a

[TOM_RUS]

Basically it allows you to change how items on your characters looks in game.

Small HOWTO:
1. Tool assumes you have wow install path in your registry, .NET Framework 4.0 installed and following files exists and in correct format: <wow_dir>\Cache\ADB\<locale>\Item.adb, Item-sparse.adb
2. Edit 'locale.txt' file with your client locale.
3. If you meet above requirements, it should (!) runs fine.
4. To swap item model, you have to:
4.1. If item exist in cache, just change Model field to ModelId you want (it's editable o_O).
4.2. If item not in cache yet, just Drag&Drop it from left panel and change Model field to ModelId you want.
5. Click File->Save to save your changes.

P.S. Make sure that client isn't running when you swapping models.

P.P.S. If cache keeps resetting, try to remove Cache\ADB\Hotfix.tbl file before you start client.

There's almost no error checking in code, if you do something wrong, program will most likely crash.

Make sure you not put any whitespaces, new lines etc in there. File should be exactly 4 bytes length, and locale is case sensitive.

You can try Mono, but I have no idea if it will work under mono or not (most likely not bacause of stormlib dep). Or you can run Windows in VM.

This might sound stupid, but what exactly is my "client locale" that I should inject into locale.txt? Can you give an example of what a proper locale.txt should look like when using this program?

Can't seem to download it, tryed with different browsers and anti virus on/off..
Anyone experiencing the same? If so, would anyone be so kind to reupload it?

Ohhhhhh. That makes much more sense! Thanks a lot for the quick response.

Hmm i got it working now, but there is 1 major problem :O
I can only change 1 model! When i change everything at once, it will only show the last changed model.. if i do them seperatly, one will take place for another. So i can only see 1 model change whatever i do.

When running the program, even with or without administrator rights (Windows 7 64bit), I get a "File Item.db2 not found!" error. I checked, and as expected, there is no file that has that name anywhere in my WoW directory. Do I need this file or is there something different I can do to fix this problem? (You never mentioned an Item.db2 as being needed in your original post, although I have no idea what or where Item.db2 is or should be)
