[QUESTION] Removing Menu Options in WoW

[Rezolute]

Hello everyone,

I just ran across these forums today and hope to be a descent member and take what I learn and give back.


First things first I just started using Noggit / WarcraftStudios to edit WoW. But one of my projects I'm working on for learning purposes is I'd like to remove the Dungeon Finder icon on your WoW Menu options completely from the list, then remove the Convert to Raid option and many more options from said Menus.

If anyone has any insite on this It would be much appreciated and if I come across anything I will glady share it!

Thank you again!

Please note this might need to be moved to client side moding. Because I can disable and remove the systems from the core itself and disable them server side but I'm wanting to physically remove the options from in game. My plan is to make a WoW Single Player project with Co-Op a maximum of 5 player connections to the Server at a time. I have been doing blizzlike reversing and repairs to ascent emu and mangos (including branches) since about 08 but I want to extend my knowledge and learn the latter of the client side and actually mod the game like I did with Skyrim.

Yes, this would be client-side. All the UI elements you see in the client are written in XML and Lua, the same stuff you'd use to create an addon… essentially, the default UI is a standard set of addons.

You might need a WoW binary with integrity checking disabled, I'm not sure.

This might be going out on a limb but did 2.4.3 require this check. I did a check with Olly and didn't see any GlueXML references.

I can't tell you for sure, I mainly work with 1.12 and 3.3.5. In my limited experience, though, 2.4.3 was the most strict of the three in regards to modding.

[Rezolute]

I removed the check. I figured it out its just a bit diff then other clients last one I played with patching the wow.exe was 3.3.5. I'll share a patched 2.4.3 exe tomorrow afternoon I must sleep now.

There's a constant.lua file in the frameXML folder, and if memory serves me right there is a setting for minimum  level to show the LFD option, just set that to > max level...

If my.memory still is good.

[Rezolute]

Might it be more a server side initiation? Because I checked the constant.lua and there wasn't anything regarding LFG so I actually found the LFGFrame.lua and LFGFrame.XML file but it just pulls "" as the level so I didn't see that as defining.

Patched WoW 2.4.3 client:

The LFD menu option level check is line 131 in constants.lua in the FrameXML folder, Show_LFD_level.  But that's from a 3.3.5 client, I'm not sure about anything 2.4.3
