Description :
WoWmapview is a 3D map viewer for World of Warcraft. It uses the data files included with the game to display the 3D game world, which you can explore by flying anywhere. It allows access to off-limits developer areas and unfinished instance maps.

The reverse engineering of the game data files is a work in progress, so obviously the viewer is neither perfect nor complete, and definitely not optimized.


System requirements for WoWmapview:

at least 512 megs of RAM,
Geforce2 or better video card (needs to support 2 texture units)
an installed World of Warcraft client (the open beta version is ok, too)

Changes :
0.5
Terrain: some LOD, fog, lighting
Map objects: liquids, fog
Models: ribbon and particle effects
0.4
Terrain: high-res heightmap, shadows, animated textures
Map objects: fixed indoor lighting, some minor fixes
Models: animation, animated textures
