PHYS

.phys files are chunked. The files are used by Blizzard's Domino physics engine which got added to WoW in the fourth expansion (MoP). In build 15464, there is one .phys file "item/objectcomponents/waist/buckle_panstart_a_01.phys". .phys files are an extension to M2s. The M2 requests a .phys file to be loaded by having GlobalModelFlags & 0x20 set.

The main PHYS chunk is followed by an unordered sequence of unique chunks of the other types.

// vec*: * floats
// mat*x*: * times * floats.
