WoW Format Test

Messing around with parsing WoW file formats for educational purposes. Built from the ground up, but with lots of copy pasta from older projects (noted in thanks paragraph).

Supported expansions

Built for (latest) Legion files. No backwards compatibility with anything older than current retail version.

Configuration

If you have World of Warcraft (7.2.5 or higher) fully installed you can use your installed data instead of falling back to downloading stuff. To set this up, simply change the basedir setting in (executable).config to the directory that contains WoW.exe.

Requirements

  • OpenTK (recent version already included)

Projects

Main projects

OBJExporterUI (Official site)

Exports various WoW model formats to Wavefront .obj. Primary application.

WoWOpenGL (Official site)

After some issues and annoyances with DirectX I decided to switch over to OpenTK/OpenGL. Somewhat deprecated since OBJExporterUI has a model viewer included.

WoWFormatLib

Does parsing of WoW's raw data files and returns them in a object that other applications can use. Handles CASC (WoW's filesystem), file parsing.

MinimapCompiler

Compiles minimaps. Not important, but still actively developed as I will need it for my other projects soon.

Test projects

CASCtest

App used to test CASC (file system) related things.

DBCtest

App used to test DBC structures.

WoWFormatTest

First app used to test some formats with.
