The aim of this project is to create an opensource viewer of models and maps for World of Warcraft.

There are two frontends built using this code: standalone map viewer and webgl library built for web.

Webgl version of model viewer runs on https://wow.tools/mv/ page

The following text is intended only for developers. Usual users can download ready-to-use binaries from releases page

• Git
• CMake >3.13
• Python 3
• Any latest compiler: MSVC/Clang/GCC

• git clone https://github.com/Deamon87/WebWowViewerCpp.git
• git submodule --init --recursive

Configure and build as usually you would do with CMake project. Lately I had issues with makefiles, so I recommend using ninja generator

Otherwise, you can look at the github actions script in .github/workflows/ folder to look at how project is built there

• Grab an app from releases page
• Run app
• Open your Local Casc (File -> Open Casc Storage)
• Update the database (File -> Update database).
• Open Map Selection dialog (File -> Open Map Selection)
• Select a map and adjust the zoom to find the point on minimap. Select a point and click GO

As an option, after v0.1.5, you can start app with "-vulkan" option from command line, which will switch from OpenGL renderer to Vulkan. Vulkan renderer is far from perfect, but it even now shows more performance compared to OGL

Happy exploring :)
