I've been tolled that Blizzard uses a program which can detect such edits and it would plain ban people when caught. Meaning that there is no GM to come along saying "Ey we found a mod in your WoW database.. mind explaining that?" meaning that you get no warning?
The only way such a program can detect model edits would be because it spots an extra patch called patch-X.MPQ (or whatever) along the other standard Blizz patches. Now what would happen if you would implement your mods within a standard Blizz patch? Wouldn't that solve the whole being detected problem?
I read something regarding scan.dl and a program which can bypass this, can someone inform me further on this or direct me to a topic were there is more info on this subject and how to use it?
Other then that great post! |

Also, Warden doesn't scan your hard drive as such, it compares your open processes to a list of hash's compiled by blizzard. It exists to catch third party programs used for botting etc. There's a post about it here somewhere.. Anyway, your MPQ's aren't open in a process so Warden can't scan it, and even if they were, Warden doesn't scan the contents of a program as it's a breach of privacy. If Blizzard could detect this, everyone here would have been banned as soon as they hit login. |

Atleast thats my understanding? Not exactly a programmer. |

Reputation: 1 | | | If I model edit for a specific purpose... for a set period of time, am I only vulnerable for that timeframe? Ex.
Say im using an editor to remove a wall to get to a boss faster (by myself in my own private instance). I get what I need and delete the edit and delete WoWme. Assuming there is no reason to be suspicious of anything and I don't tell anyone... am I in the clear afterwards? Or do they look up history from ages ago? |

Therefore, in the end they might just end up losing money on it. But on the other hand, they need to do "something, sometimes", so that it looks like they'r working on it.
-This is, ofcourse, as long as you don't exploit with it. I'm talking about gear changes ect.
That's what i think atleast |

I will stay with the fact to use them on Private Servers or for testing on my own local WoW Server...but not on the official ones, since I highly doubt, that Blizzard will change the EULA in any way regarding model editing and skin editing... |
