Mist of Pandaria addons - Blizzard enables UIs ( .LUA support)

Blue post:
Starting with the next Mists of Pandaria beta build, we plan to enable the use of UI addons. So whether you’re a savvy addon author or the most discriminating player, there’s no time like the present to start planning out your perfect UI.

Addon authors should also make sure to check out prominent addon sites such as WoWInterface and Curse for a chance to apply for a Mist of Pandaria beta key. These sites have recently been given a lot of beta keys to distribute specifically to active addon authors. We likewise strongly encourage authors who have access to the beta to start testing out and fine-tuning their addon updates in the beta as soon as possible.

If you use an addon and start seeing errors, try downloading the most recent version of it. If you are still having errors, you may need to turn off the addon until it has been updated.

So yeah, no more need to create custom fixes/repacks only to run your own AddOns anymore :)

Mists of Pandaria Beta Key Giveaway for Addon Authors from Curse.com

If you are an addon author who still doesn't have beta access, we might be able to help you out! As long as you have a 1,000 user install base for at least one of your addons, you are eligible to grab a beta key. There is no charge, so head over to the Curseforge store to order.




If you can't load it: 


The Curse Team is excited to announce that we've secured extra Mists of Pandaria beta keys to give away exclusively to our addon authors!  These keys are available to any author who has uploaded a legitimate project with an install base of 1,000 or more users to our sites via our CurseForge store page, or the WowAce store page.

If you meet these requirements, claiming your key is simple!  Visit our CurseForge store page, and click on the Mists of Pandaria Author Beta link at the bottom.  Provided you meet the requirements to receive a key, that's it -- you're in!  Each author can receive 1 beta key.
Please note that this is a thank you to our authors, and as such, does not cost any points to redeem, nor does it require you to be part of our rewards system -- The keys are first come, first serve to any author who hosts an addon with us that meets the 1,000 user install base.  Remember to put your battle.net ID in your email!

How to enable your own Mist of Pandaria addons on any Beta Build

Main exe file: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12654979/EnableAddons.exe
virus scan: https://www.virustotal.com/file/6ce4...is/1336224936/

source code: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12654979/EnableAddons.cpp

Just run the exe and it will patch any open wow.exe it finds.
Also, note that the addon api is a bit incomplete atm (several functions seem to be either missing or renamed) so don't expect all your addons to run flawlessly.

Updated to a (hopefully) build independent version (thanks to TOM_RUS for the pattern)
Or if You prefer a permanently patched wow.exe look at this method (thanks to Ssateneth):
Credits go to TOM_RUS for new EXE's and oprime for pattern and patch bytes as usual.

32-bit WoW build 15662 with addons enabled download HERE and VIRUSTOTAL
32-bit WoW build 15662 with addons enabled and LUA Hack download HERE and VIRUSTOTAL
64-bit WoW build 15662 with addons enabled download HERE and VIRUSTOTAL

These files are not patchers, put them directly in your wow.exe folder and run them.

Hex-edited version of _Mike 's program 15662 Filebeam - download

Or you can use your favorite hex editor and edit wow.exe directly: search for sequence: 0x8B, 0x47, 0x24, 0x83, 0xF8, 0x02, 0x75 and replace first 3 bytes of it (0x8B, 0x47, 0x24) with 0x33, 0xC0, 0x90.
Make sure to create backup before editing.
