Blending Modes
Wrath of the Lich King and Cataclysm do not use separate alpha blending. Later expansion clients likely do use separate alpha blending.
Blend_BlendAdd was added after Cataclysm.
Values for functions match OpenGL, but each has a D3D equivalent.

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
0 | Blend_Opaque | Disabled | ONE | ZERO | ONE | ZERO |

Fog Modes
Because blending modes adjust how color is applied during a draw call, fog color often has to be modified accordingly.
The following fog modes were taken from Mists of Pandaria (build 15662).
Fog Mode | Action | Blending Modes |
---|---|---|
0 | Disable fog logic in shader | - |
1 | ? possibly: use fog color without changes ? | Blend_Opaque, Blend_AlphaKey, Blend_Alpha |
2 | Override fog color to 0x000000 (black) | Blend_Add, possibly: Blend_NoAlphaAdd |
3 | Override fog color to 0xFFFFFF (white) | Blend_Mod |
4 | Override fog color to 0x808080 (half white) | Blend_Mod2x |
5 | ? submerged camera related ? | - |
6 | ? liquid plane related ? | - |
