- Main thread: Window events, update, render
|

## Performance Considerations
|
||||
|
||||
### Rendering
|
||||
- **Frustum culling:** Only render visible chunks
|
||||
- **Batching:** Group draw calls by material
|
||||
- **Frustum culling:** Only render visible chunks (terrain and WMO groups)
|
||||
- **Distance culling:** WMO groups culled beyond 160 units
|
||||
- **Batching:** Group draw calls by material and shader
|
||||
- **LOD:** Distance-based level of detail (TODO)
|
||||
- **Occlusion:** Portal-based visibility (WMO system)
|
||||
- **GPU skinning:** Character animation computed on GPU (256 bones)
|
||||
- **Instancing:** Future optimization for repeated models
|
||||
|
||||
### Asset Streaming
|
||||
- **Lazy loading:** Load chunks as player moves
|
||||
- **Unloading:** Free distant chunks
|
||||
- **Caching:** Keep frequently used assets in memory
|
||||
- **Async loading:** Terrain chunks load asynchronously (prevents frame stalls)
|
||||
- **Lazy loading:** Load chunks as player moves within streaming radius
|
||||
- **Unloading:** Free distant chunks automatically
|
||||
- **Caching:** Keep frequently used assets in memory (textures, models)
|
||||
- **Priority queue:** Load visible chunks first
|
||||
|
||||
### Network
|
||||
- **Non-blocking I/O:** Never stall main thread
|
||||
- **Packet buffering:** Handle multiple packets per frame
|
||||
- **Batch processing:** Process received packets in batches
|
||||
- **RC4 encryption:** Efficient header encryption (minimal overhead)
|
||||
- **Compression:** Some packets are compressed (TODO)
|
||||
|
||||
### Memory Management
|
||||
- **Smart pointers:** Automatic cleanup, no memory leaks
|
||||
- **Object pooling:** Reuse particle objects (weather system)
|
||||
- **DBC caching:** Load once, access fast
|
||||
- **Texture sharing:** Same texture used by multiple models
|
||||
|

|
||||
## What Works Right Now
|
||||
## Quick Start
|
||||
|
||||
### Prerequisites
|
||||
|
||||
Ensure you have all dependencies installed (see main README.md for details).
|
||||
|
||||
### Build & Run
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Build the project
|
||||
cd wowee/build
|
||||
# Clone the repository
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/yourname/wowee.git
|
||||
cd wowee
|
||||
|
||||
# Get ImGui (required)
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/ocornut/imgui.git extern/imgui
|
||||
|
||||
# Set up game data (see "Game Data" section in README.md)
|
||||
# Either symlink Data/ directory or set WOW_DATA_PATH environment variable
|
||||
|
||||
# Build
|
||||
mkdir build && cd build
|
||||
cmake ..
|
||||
make -j$(nproc)
|
||||
|
||||
# Run the application
|
||||
# Run
|
||||
./bin/wowee
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The application will:
|
||||
- Open a window with SDL2
|
||||
- Initialize OpenGL 3.3+ with GLEW
|
||||
- Set up the rendering pipeline
|
||||
- Run the main game loop
|
||||
- Handle input and events
|
||||
- Close cleanly on window close or Escape key
|
||||
## What Works Right Now
|
||||
|
||||
## What You See
|
||||
### Authentication & Character Selection
|
||||
- Login with username and password
|
||||
- Realm selection with population info
|
||||
- Character list with 3D preview

|
||||
- Enter world seamlessly
|
||||
|
||||
Currently, the window displays a blue gradient background (clear color: 0.2, 0.3, 0.5). This is the base rendering loop working correctly.
|
||||
### In-Game Gameplay
|
||||
- **Movement**: WASD movement with camera orbit
|
||||
- **Combat**: Auto-attack, spell casting, damage calculation
|
||||
- **Targeting**: Click-to-target, tab-cycling, faction-based hostility
|
||||
- **Inventory**: Full equipment and backpack system with drag-drop
|
||||
- **Spells**: Spellbook organized by class specialties, drag-drop to action bar
|
||||
- **Quests**: Quest markers on NPCs and minimap, quest log, quest details, turn-in
|
||||
- **Vendors**: Buy and sell items with gold tracking
|
||||
- **Loot**: Loot window for items and gold
|
||||
- **Chat**: Send and receive chat messages (SAY, YELL, WHISPER)
|
||||
- **NPCs**: Gossip interactions, animations
|
||||
|
||||
## Next Steps
|
||||
### Rendering
|
||||
- Multi-tile terrain streaming with async loading
|
||||
- Animated water with reflections and refractions
|
||||
- Dynamic day/night cycle with sun and moon
|
||||
- Procedural star field (1000+ stars)
|
||||
- Volumetric clouds with FBM noise
|
||||
- Weather effects (rain and snow)
|
||||
- Skeletal character animations (256 bones, GPU skinning)
|
||||
- Building rendering (WMO) with frustum culling
|
||||
- M2 particle emitters
|
||||
- Post-processing (HDR, tonemapping, shadow mapping)
|
||||
|

### 6. UI Screens (Low Priority)
|
||||
**Files:** `src/ui/*.cpp`
|
||||
**Goal:** Create game UI with ImGui
|
||||
**Settings**:

||||
- Authentication screen (username/password input)
|
||||
- Realm selection screen
|
||||
- Character selection screen
|
||||
- In-game UI (chat, action bars, character panel)
|
||||
### Advanced Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
ImGui is already initialized and ready to use!
|
||||
**Environment Variables**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Set custom WoW data path
|
||||
export WOW_DATA_PATH="/path/to/WoW-3.3.5a/Data"
|
||||
|
||||
## Development Tips
|
||||
|
||||
### Adding New Features
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Window/Input:** Use `window->getSDLWindow()` and `Input::getInstance()`
|
||||
2. **Rendering:** Add render calls in `Application::render()`
|
||||
3. **Game Logic:** Add updates in `Application::update(float deltaTime)`
|
||||
4. **UI:** Use ImGui in `UIManager::render()`
|
||||
|
||||
### Debugging
|
||||
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
#include "core/logger.hpp"
|
||||
|
||||
LOG_DEBUG("Debug message");
|
||||
LOG_INFO("Info message");
|
||||
LOG_WARNING("Warning message");
|
||||
LOG_ERROR("Error message");
|
||||
# Run with custom data path
|
||||
WOW_DATA_PATH="/path/to/data" ./bin/wowee
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### State Management
|
||||
**Server Configuration**:
|
||||
Edit auth server address in the login screen or configure default in Application settings.
|
||||
|
||||
The application uses state machine pattern:
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
AppState::AUTHENTICATION // Login screen
|
||||
AppState::REALM_SELECTION // Choose server
|
||||
AppState::CHARACTER_SELECTION // Choose character
|
||||
AppState::IN_GAME // Playing the game
|
||||
AppState::DISCONNECTED // Connection lost
|
||||
```
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
Change state with:
|
||||
```cpp
|
||||
Application::getInstance().setState(AppState::IN_GAME);
|
||||
```
|
||||
### Connection Issues
|
||||
|
||||
## Testing Without a Server
|
||||
**Problem**: Cannot connect to authentication server
|
||||
- Check that the auth server is running and reachable
|
||||
- Verify the server address and port (default: 3724)
|
||||
- Check firewall settings
|
||||
|
||||
For development, you can:
|
||||
**Problem**: Disconnected during gameplay
|
||||
- Network timeout or unstable connection
|
||||
- Check server logs for errors
|
||||
- Application will return to authentication screen
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Mock authentication** - Skip SRP and go straight to realm selection
|
||||
2. **Load local assets** - Test terrain/model rendering without network
|
||||
3. **Stub packet handlers** - Return fake data for testing UI
|
||||
### Rendering Issues
|
||||
|
||||
## Performance Notes
|
||||
**Problem**: Low FPS or stuttering
|
||||
- Press F1 to check performance stats
|
||||
- Reduce graphics settings in settings window
|
||||
- Check GPU driver version
|
||||
|
||||
Current configuration:
|
||||
**Problem**: Missing textures or models
|
||||
- Verify all WoW 3.3.5a MPQ files are present in Data/ directory
|
||||
- Check that Data/ path is correct (or WOW_DATA_PATH is set)
|
||||
- Look for errors in console output
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem**: Terrain not loading
|
||||
- Async terrain streaming may take a moment
|
||||
- Check for MPQ read errors in console
|
||||
- Verify ADT files exist for the current map
|
||||
|
||||
### Gameplay Issues
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem**: Cannot interact with NPCs
|
||||
- Ensure you're within interaction range (5-10 yards)
|
||||
- Check that NPC is not in combat
|
||||
- Left-click to target NPC first
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem**: Spells not working
|
||||
- Check that you have enough mana/rage/energy
|
||||
- Verify spell is on cooldown (check action bar)
|
||||
- Ensure you have a valid target (for targeted spells)
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem**: Items not equipping
|
||||
- Check that item is for your class
|
||||
- Verify you meet level requirements
|
||||
- Ensure equipment slot is not already occupied (or drag to replace)
|
||||
|
||||
### Performance Notes
|
||||
|
||||
Default configuration:
|
||||
- **VSync:** Enabled (60 FPS cap)
|
||||
- **Resolution:** 1920x1080 (configurable in `Application::initialize()`)
|
||||
- **Resolution:** 1920x1080 (configurable in Application settings)
|
||||
- **OpenGL:** 3.3 Core Profile
|
||||
- **Rendering:** Deferred until `renderWorld()` is implemented
|
||||
- **Shadow Map:** 2048x2048 resolution
|
||||
- **Particles:** 2000 max (weather), emitter-dependent (M2)
|
||||
|
||||
Optimization tips:
|
||||
- Frustum culling automatically enabled
|
||||
- Terrain streaming loads chunks as needed
|
||||
- WMO distance culling at 160 units
|
||||
- Async terrain loading prevents frame stalls
|
||||
