Modifying *.pub AddOns files
« on: November 10, 2014, 11:12:25 am »
Is it possible to modify the *.pub AddOns files ? F. ex. the Blizzard_AuctionUI.pub

The sourcecode seems to be in the patch files. But how to modify or create a pub file ?

Those are a signature for the respective addon. Unless you now the private key for the signature, you won't be able to properly modify them.

The hack to remove some signature checks out from wow.exe doesn't cover this case ?

Depends on your hack.

Ignore the .pub files and directly modify the code (found in the MPQs).

That works for me  :)  Thank you so much.

However for some unknown reason in my MPQ files was an outdated auctionhouse addon:
Blizzard_AuctionUI.toc
Code: [Select]
## Interface: 30000
## Title: Blizzard Auction UI

But I found here a repository with a lot of interesting stuff for almost all patches:
