Enables are how WoW rendering engine controls how the world is painted into your screen. We call it Enables because that's what the reverse engineering suggests. Altough you may see it called "rendering flags" too.
This is how a normal render pipeline works for any WoW version (pseudocode).
Wow.exe-> StormStaticEntryPoint
Wow.exe-> PaintScreen
Wow.exe-> OnPaint
Wow.exe-> CGWorldFrame::RenderWorld
Wow.exe-> CGWorldFrame::OnWorldRender
Wow.exe-> CWorld::Render
WoW.exe.DayNightRenderSky
WoW.exe.GxSceneClear
WoW.exe.DNSky::Render
WoW.exe.DNStars::Render
WoW.exe.DNPlanet::Render
WoW.exe.DNPlanet::Render
WoW.exe.DNClouds::Render
WoW.exe.CWorldScene::RenderHorizon
WoW.exe.CWorldScene::RenderChunks
WoW.exe.CWorldScene::RenderMapObjDefGroups
WoW.exe.CWorldScene::RenderOcean
WoW.exe.CWorldScene::RenderWater
WoW.exe.CWorldScene::RenderMagma
WoW.exe.GxXformPop
WoW.exe.GxRsPop
WoW.exe.CWorldScene::RenderDoodads
WoW.exe.CWorldScene::RenderObjects
Start rendering again
So as you can see, the stars, planets, clouds and environment stuff is first painted, then the map ADTs are drawn, RenderMapObjDefGroups are WMOs and get painted after ADTs, then every liquid is painted, after that every M2 (Doodads) are painted too, and finally NPC/Players (RenderObjects) as the last step.
Enables
You should know that poking these Enables may crash your client, specially in early versions of the game (alpha, vanilla, tbc)
The following list of addreses can be used to find Enables in the mentioned versions:
['0.5.3']: renderFlags: 0xA4046C, renderFlagsDefault: 0x07104B73 ['0.8.0']: renderFlags: 0xA96C30, renderFlagsDefault: 0x1F900B77 ['1.1.2']: renderFlags: 0x69FE7C, renderFlagsDefault: 0x1F110F77 ['1.8.0']: renderFlags: 0x7EC93C, renderFlagsDefault: 0x9F110F77 ['1.12.0']: renderFlags: 0x87B2A4, renderFlagsDefault: 0x9F910F77 ['2.4.3']: renderFlags: 0x9A4510, renderFlagsDefault: 0x1F104F73 ['3.3.5a']: renderFlags: 0x8D774C, renderFlagsDefault: 0x1F104F73 ['4.3.4']: renderFlags: 0xA741A8, renderFlagsDefault: 0x0001BFFF ['5.4.8']: renderFlags: 0xE371D4, renderFlagsDefault: 0x0001BFFF ['6.2.3']: renderFlags: 0xF8422C, renderFlagsDefault: 0x00011FFF ['7.2.5']: renderFlags: 0x102FF3C, renderFlagsDefault: 0x7FF7FFFF ['7.3.5']: renderFlags: 0x1252CC0, renderFlagsDefault: 0x7FF7FFFF
Where renderFlags is the location of Enables in the memory (WoW.exe + renderFlags) and renderFlagsDefault is the default value for that version, just in case you have to reset it.
Depending on the WoW version you may see a different rendering mode as none all modes are supported in all the clients. And in all years of development these have evolved for obviously reasons.
WoW Alpha 0.5.3 is quite special on how Enables work, as you may see some rendering flags that doesn't exist in Vanilla and above.
One great thing about these Enables is that they can be used to illuminate some parts of WoW that weren't illumated properly, like Dun Garok in WoW 0.5.3.
