additional Client fixes - Byte Patcher

[Albusturt]

Can someone add an option to increase the range of nameplates?

[Jolikmc]

I like how Microsoft Defender SmartScan prevents this from being run under Windows 10. That's totally not sketchy at all. (:

What bytes are being modified and what are their to-and-from values? All someone needs to do is compare a modified EXE with a stock one to find out. I'm extremely paranoid about this sort of thing and would prefer to know what it's doing rather than blindly use it and have something insanely bad happen. Thank you.

Defender gives you a warning because this executable changes the binary code of another executable. This is of course not a normal behaviour, but it's not malicious. I am able to observe the connections WoW.exe is making and I can say this is safe to use. If you learn how to use a good firewall and check active connections you can be rest assured.

While that addresses my first concern, it doesn't really answer the follow-up question. (:

I just want to know what bytes are modified and I'm too much of a sissy-coward to experiment with an unsigned executable, myself.

Check my comment on the first page I made a few days later.

Just checked the Binary of the 1.16 Patch there seems none of these changes made, readded the Download Link to the tool if anyone want's to use it :)

If anyone want's to do it them self via hex-editing:

Code: Select all

Large Address Aware Flag aka 4GB Patch: 0x126; 0F > 2F
Disable Cache: 0x455B38; 57, 44, 42 > 0, 0, 0
Improved FoV: 0x4089B4; DB, F, C9 > 66, 66, F6
Sound Channel limit: 0x435D38; 31, 32, 0 > 32, 35, 36
AutoLoot: 0xC1ECF; 74 > 75

If you wanna do it through Cheat Engine you need to add the base address wich is "0x40000" to the offset or simply put "wow.exe" infront of it, for example for improved FoV it's either 8089B4 or wow.exe+4089B4 but it isn't persistent and editing the binary itself makes the changes permanent.
Also no external Tools for hex-editing required, https://hexed.it/ works just fine.

I just wanted to say thanks, this thing is awesome for sneaking and pickpocketing quickly!

I don't suppose it would be possible to have sound while wow runs in the background included?

[Atello]

The changes don't get applied for me. Specifically the autoloot portion does not seem to work.

[Blvckshvde]

dropbox link not working for me

[Remorsx]

Any way to reduce sound channels to 64?

[Ashstache]

Can this be used for the new exe, the Tel'Abim patch?

[Pequisto]

Would like to know this as well. :)

[Imhitchens]

Edit: Damnit. Posted this in the wrong thread. Sorry

[Dhrazar]

Okay, aren't the increased sound channels, improved Field of View and the 4GB patch already included in the latest game version exe?

[Fosoyo]

Can anyone explain the purpose of disabling the cache?
Thanks

[Fosoyo]

This sounds great thanks, hoping others will check it out. I'll wait till then, just incase :p.

I mean it could look sketchy since it's my first post on the forum, but it isn't harmful in anyway and you don't even need to give it admin privileges to run it.

I was using this for my own at first, but I figured I might share it so people don't need more than one .exe or backups for example when you're using the improved-fov exe from Torta and want to revert back later on.
Just with a click of a button you can do now so, without the need of extra backup files and no need to fiddle around wit Hex Editors if you wanna undo stuff when you didn't made an backup.

But since it's modifying another application, it could potentionally get flagged from your Anti Virus as malicious.


Edit: If there's questions or someone wants to see the source code itself, you can ping me on the turtle wow discord server.

Can you explain how to download this and use this? I added the FOV mod but it removed all of the advanced Resolutions

[Lemonlime]

This still working?

[Huma]

default wow.exe from turtle already have fov, sound channels and 4gb, the autoloot is failing half of the time and for some strange reason i feels worse performance with this patch

[Dhrazar]

This patch is outdated and it gives you a ton of crashes!

[Jx]

Use vanilla-tweaks instead.

[Dhrazar]

Use vanilla-tweaks instead.

Why should I use those tweaks? As said above, these changes are already included in the twow.exe or did I miss something?

[Jx]

The main reason to use vanilla-tweaks is for auto-loot. The byte patcher in this thread attempts to enable auto-loot, but doesn't do a good job of it.

Regarding the other patches (large address/4gb, sound channels, and FOV), yes, the TW EXEs come with those baked in.

[Dhrazar]

I've installed VanillaFixes and vanilla-tweaks, the result is incredible. FPS got nearly doubled, I can even run weather effects option on max, because it's crippled my performance before.
Auto loot is working now flawless. Also to mention I have both HD-Patches running.
Thank you Jx for the explanation before! :-)

Can you point me to the HD patches please?

I've installed just A and B, C is in my opinon weird, when the auto-attack sound, "feels" like all other sounds.
Also to mention, weapon sheath will no longer work with these, but I'm okay with that for now.
And delete your WDB folder if you install one of them.

I've placed it in my WoW Turtle folder, and checked options like auto loot and nothing happened after PC restart...

[Amnesia]

Hi,

Looks like this doesnt work any more with the new 1.17.0 patch

Any idea on how to make it work again ?

That's a fantastic quality of life improvement ;)

Thx !

From just upthread :

Use vanilla-tweaks instead.
