Novel replacement for the implicit taxi/zeppelin/boat scheduling
that vanilla WoW drove from a tangle of TaxiNodes.dbc +
TaxiPath.dbc + per-zeppelin GameObject scripts + hard-coded
transport interval timers in the server's MapManager. Each WTSC
entry binds one scheduled passenger route to its origin /
destination coords, vehicle type (Taxi/Zeppelin/Boat/Mount),
departure interval, in-flight duration, capacity, and faction-
access gate.
Initially designed with magic 'WTRN' but discovered collision
with existing trainers catalog (also WTRN) — renamed to 'WTSC'
(Transit SChedule) and updated all CLI flags.
Three presets:
--gen-trn-zeppelins 3 vanilla Horde zeppelin routes
(OG<->UC 240s interval, OG<->Grom'Gol,
UC<->Grom'Gol)
--gen-trn-boats 3 vanilla boat routes (Auberdine<->
Stormwind Alliance, Menethil<->Theramore
Alliance, BootyBay<->Ratchet Neutral
cross-faction)
--gen-trn-taxis 3 taxi gryphon/wyvern routes — capacity=0
indicates solo gryphon ride
CRITICAL scheduling invariant validator catches: when capacity > 0
the departureInterval MUST be >= travelDuration. A zeppelin with
interval=60s + travel=90s with capacity=40 would overflow the
vehicle pool — next zeppelin departs before prior arrives. Solo
gryphon (capacity=0) is exempt because each ride is independent.
Validator also catches: id+name+origin+destination required,
vehicleType/factionAccess range, zero intervals/travel, duplicate
routeIds, duplicate route names. Warns on same-map routes
(originMapId == destinationMapId) — preset taxi route Crossroads
to Razor Hill triggered this warning in smoke-test (both in
Kalimdor mapId=1, intentional).
Format count 127 -> 128. CLI flag count 1346 -> 1353.
