3 - Custom patch and custom wow.exe!
Spoiler: click to toggle Harbinger WoW sports a nice custom patch that allows us to see and spawn objects that aren't within the core database of the server. This means we can spawn many different types of things like house, towers, effect objects and more. 1. To begin with you download these files: http://www.mediafire.com/?o0bf6fskkni6dq72. Next you need to place the wowlauncher406.exe within you World of Warcraft directory. Aka your main WoW folder where you find the wow.exe and the launcher (At this time you may also want to right click the wowlauncher406.exe and make a desktop shortcut for it). 3. Once you have placed the wowlauncher406.exe within the folder you -must- be sure to remove, not delete, the retail wow.exe file from the folder. Simply place it on you desktop or within a secondary folder for safe keeping. 4. Now what you want to do is go into the Data folder, located near the top of the main WoW folder, and place the custom object patch in it. (Note: Repeat this process for any other custom patches you want to use, such as the Mag'har patch) 5. Once all of this s done you should be able to log into the server without having crashing issues and also be able to see the custom objects. Important: If your WoW is updated to the latest patch, aka anything that is 4.3.2 and above, then you may want to create a second WoW folder and perform these steps with that folder. Be sure to rename the copied folder to something like Imperium WoW or Private Server.
