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).
Built for (latest) Warlords of Draenor files. Backwards compatibility with Mists of Pandaria not guaranteed. Cataclysm and lower probably won't work at all.
MPQ support is currently not planned. Very basic support for the new CASC file format introduced in Warlords of Draenor is present. It can only download content from Blizzard's servers, not load storages already present on HDD (yet).
If you have World of Warcraft (6.0 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 WoWOpenGL.exe.config to the directory that contains WoW.exe.
- OpenTK (recent version already included)
OBJExporterUI (Official site)
Exports various WoW model formats to Wavefront .obj.
WoWOpenGL (Official site)
After some issues and annoyances with DirectX I decided to switch over to OpenTK/OpenGL.
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, DBC reading.
Compiles minimaps. Not important, but still actively developed as I will need it for my other projects soon.
App used to test CASC (file system) related things.
App used to test DBC structures.
First app used to test some formats with.
Eventual replacement project for WoWOpenGL.
Generates heightmaps. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Making a color heightmap from a WDL file, code ported from Noggit to C#. Based on a simple OpenTK example.
Got data from WoWFormatLib and did some preprocessing before going to WoWFormatUI.
Initial test of rendering, gets data from WoWRenderLib and tries to display it in DirectX. No longer actively developed.
Rendering test with WPF.
