Introduction

What's up guys, this is going to be a video series of how to mod the interface and will branch out of various areas, starting with modding the Create a Character screen. It will hopefully teach you how to work your way around the interface XML and Lua files, but more importantly it will hopefully help you teach yourself in the future.

Disclaimers

- I am hopeless and seeing through things like this, so don't be too surprised if it comes to an abrupt halt. I apologize for that, but it's just something I do and can't promise any different.
- This is all going to be for the WoW 3.3.5a client, however I doubt that much will change in terms of using Lua and XML for newer versions.

Prerequisites

Requirements

- WoW 3.3.5a (Wrath of the Lich King)
- Custom WoW.exe with GlueXML check removed (See Recommended): viewtopic.php?f=26&t=181
- Knowledge on how to create patches (See Recommended): viewtopic.php?f=26&t=41
- Knowledge on how to extract interface files: viewtopic.php?f=26&t=41

- No more patches: viewtopic.php?f=26&t=1828
- Remove GlueXML Check Tool: viewtopic.php?f=59&t=883
- Instead of the above 2, you can just download my WoW.ex: https://www.mediafire.com/?0wsv4j9391j3a6h
- Notepad++ (It's a godsend)
- Create a shortcut to your WoW.exe, right-click it, go to properties, at the end of the Target add -console

4th and 5th parts are up. Which concludes the first section of the basics: Eventually I will get around to making the cleanup series, but I probably need to sharpen up my photoshop skills first.

The tutorial is very helpfull, big thanks from me! Especially the part where you showed how to use a console. I didn't know that it exists in the 3.3.5a client. I thought they blocked it after Classic alpha.
