== Coordinate system ==

The comments about the coordinate system are borderline incomprehensible.

{| class="wikitable"
| Wow's main coordinate system is really weird but understanding it is very important in order to correctly interpret the ADT files.

It's important to remember that:
* Unlike most coordinate systems Z is used for the height, Y is used for the width and X is used for the depth.
* Y is "reversed". The more you go to the right (if north is up), the more it decreases.
* The center of the axis is in the center of the map.
* The top-left corner of the map has X = 17066, Y = 17066
* The bottom-right corner of the map has X = -17066, Y = -17066
* The bottom-left corner of the map has X = -17006, Y = 17066
* The top-right corner of the map has X = 17006, Y = -17066

Just to be absolutely clear, assuming you playing a character that is not flying or swimming and is facing north:
* Forward = D3DXVECTOR3(1, 0, 0);
* Right = D3DXVECTOR3(0, -1, 0);
* Up = D3DXVECTOR3(0, 0, 1);
|}

So this means:
* Right-handed coordinate system
* +x points north
* +y points west
* +z points up (into the air)

Is that correct? Is that easier to follow than what is currently written?
