Revision as of 14:23, 6 September 2017

WDT files specify exactly which map tiles are present in a world, if any, and can also reference a "global" WMO. They have a chunked file structure.

MPHD chunk

Contains 8 32-bit integers.

uint32 flags;
uint32 something;
uint32 unused[6];

These are the only flags checked:

enum mphd_flags {
 wdt_uses_global_map_obj               = 0x0001, // Use global map object definition.
 adt_has_mccv                          = 0x0002, // ≥ Wrath adds color: ADT.MCNK.MCCV. with this flag every ADT in the map _must_ have MCCV chunk at least with default values, else only base texture layer is rendered on such ADTs.
 adt_has_big_alpha                     = 0x0004, // shader = 2. Decides whether to use _env terrain shaders or not: funky and if MCAL has 4096 instead of 2048(?)
 adt_has_doodadrefs_sorted_by_size_cat = 0x0008, // if enabled, the ADT's MCRF(m2 only)/MCRD chunks need to be sorted by size category
 adt_has_mclv                          = 0x0010, // ≥ Cata adds second color: ADT.MCNK.MCLV
 adt_has_upside_down_ground            = 0x0020, // ≥ Cata Flips the ground display upside down to create a ceiling
 unk_0x0040                            = 0x0040, // ≥ Mists ??? -- Only found on Firelands2.wdt (but only since MoP) before Legion
 adt_has_height_texturing              = 0x0080, // ≥ Mists shader = 6. Decides whether to influence alpha maps by _h+MTXP: (without with)
                                                 // also changes MCAL size to 4096 for uncompressed entries
 unk_0x0100                            = 0x0100, // ≥ Legion implicitly sets 0x8000
 unk_0x0200                            = 0x0200,
 unk_0x0400                            = 0x0400,
 unk_0x0800                            = 0x0800,
 unk_0x1000                            = 0x1000,
 unk_0x2000                            = 0x2000,
 unk_0x4000                            = 0x4000,
 unk_0x8000                            = 0x8000, // ≥ Legion implicitly set for map ids 0, 1, 571, 870, 1116 (continents). Affects the rendering of _lod.adt

 mask_vertex_buffer_format             = adt_has_mccv | adt_has_mclv,                    // CMap::LoadWdt
 mask_render_chunk_something           = adt_has_height_texturing | adt_has_big_alpha,   // CMapArea::PrepareRenderChunk, CMapChunk::ProcessIffChunks
};

See a list here.

The second integer as of WotLK is not ignored but stores something too:

for( int i = 0; i < WDT_MPHD.something/8; i++ )
{
   WDT_MAIN[i].flags = 0;
   WDT_MAIN[i].somedata = 0;
}

The other bytes seem to be unused from what I can tell. In 6.0.1.18179 I was unable to find any code referencing something other than flags.

vertexBufferFormat = !(flags & adt_has_mccv) ? EGxVertexBufferFormat_PN
                   : flags & adt_has_mclv ? EGxVertexBufferFormat_PNC2
                   : EGxVertexBufferFormat_PNC
                   ;

mcal_size = flags & mask_render_chunk_something ? 4096 : 2048;

MAIN chunk

  • Map tile table. Needs to contain 64x64 = 4096 entries of sizeof(SMAreaInfo) ( 8 ) bytes each.
struct SMAreaInfo     // -> CMapAreaTableEntry
{
#if version < ?       // until they maps are split into adts
  uint32_t offset;
  uint32_t size;
#endif
#if version > ?       // beginning them being split into adts
  uint32_t Flag_HasADT : 1;
#endif
#if version ≥ Cata
  uint32_t Flag_AllWater : 1;
#endif
  uint32_t Flag_Loaded : 1;

  uint32_t asyncId;    // only set during runtime.
};

On Cataclysm, 2 on a tile displays "fake water" ingame. If only one "fake water tile" is activated, "fake water" will appear everywhere you don't have an ADT loaded. (seen on 4.3.4.15595)

MWMO, MODF chunks

For worlds with terrain, parsing ends here. If it has none, there is one MWMO and one MODF chunk here. The MODF chunk is limited to one entry. See the ADT format description for details.

MWMO chunk

  • A filename for one WMO (world map object) that appears in this map. A zero-terminated string. 0x100 is the maximum size for this chunk due to being copied into a stack allocated array (at least in MOP)! (including \0).

MODF chunk

  • Placement information for the global WMO. 64 bytes. Only one instance is possible.
Offset 	Type 		Description
0x00 	uint32 		ID -- unused, always uses MWMO's content instead
0x04 	uint32 		unique identifier for this instance -- unused, generates uid dynamically
0x08 	3 floats 	Position (X,Y,Z)
0x14 	3 floats 	Orientation (A,B,C)
0x20 	3 floats 	Upper Extents
0x2C 	3 floats 	Lower Extents
0x38 	uint16 		Flags
0x3A    uint16          Doodad set index
0x3C 	uint16 		Name set?
0x3E 	uint16 		Padding
struct SMMapObjDef
{
  uint nameId;
  uint uniqueId;
  C3Vector pos;
  C3Vector  rot;
  CAaBox extents;
  uint16 flags;
  uint16 doodadSet;
  uint16 nameSet;
  uint16 pad;
};
  • How to compute a matrix to map WMO to world coordinates

Refer to MODF(ADT)

_occ, _lgt

This section only applies to versions ≥ WoD.

WoD added _occ.wdt (occlusion) and _lgt.wdt (lights) for each .wdt. They are only used for adt-maps, not WMO-only ones.

occ

MAOI and MAOH might be zero size. (WMO-only WDTs)

MVER

struct
{
  uint32_t version; // 18, just as all others
} mver;

MAOI

struct

  uint16_t tile_y;
  uint32_t offset; // in MAOH
  uint32_t size;   // always (17*17+16*16)*2
} maoi[];

MAOH

unknown. blocks referenced from MAOI. Possibly shorts. either really huge or small values. possibly a 2d map for something.

short interleaved_map[17*17+16*16];

lgt

Might only have MVER for WMO-only WDTs. Level designers are able to freely place lights, without placing models containing lights now. This is used below lamp posts and alike. As of Legion, there is support for point and spot lights.

MVER

struct
{
  uint32_t version; // 18, just as all others, 20 at some point in legion
