- Zone manifest gains audio fields: musicTrack, ambienceDay,
ambienceNight, musicVolume, ambienceVolume
- Serialized to/from zone.json under "audio" key
- Info panel: collapsable "Zone Audio" section with text inputs for
music/ambience paths and volume sliders
- Preset selector: Elwynn Forest, Durotar, Darkshore, Dungeon, None
- ZoneManifest stored persistently on EditorApp so audio settings
survive between exports (was recreated each save)
- Custom zones can now specify their own background music and ambient
soundscapes via zone.json
- importHeightmapImage(): loads any resolution PNG/JPG/BMP/TGA via
stb_image, supports both 8-bit and 16-bit precision, maps to terrain
vertices with bilinear coordinate mapping
- Both image import and RAW import now wrapped with undo
(recordGeneratorUndo/commitGeneratorUndo)
- UI: File > Import Heightmap now offers "Import Image" (any format)
and "Import RAW" (binary) as separate options
- Enables professional terrain workflows: paint in Photoshop/GIMP,
generate in World Machine/Gaea, import directly as terrain
- Minimap slope overlay: toggle "Show Slopes (collision)" to visualize
steep terrain chunks with red intensity overlay (50 deg threshold)
- Lets zone creators preview walkability before exporting WOC
- About dialog updated to show 7/7 format replacements including WOC
- Help panel documents collision preview and export includes collision
New format: WOC (Wowee Open Collision) — binary collision mesh for
custom zone walkability. Magic WOC1 (0x31434F57).
- WoweeCollisionBuilder::fromTerrain() generates collision triangles
from terrain heightmap with slope classification (50 deg threshold)
- Per-triangle flags: walkable (0x01), water (0x02), steep (0x04)
- Respects terrain holes (skips triangles in hole regions)
- Binary save/load with bounds, tile coords, triangle data
- Auto-exported on zone save alongside WOT/WHM/WOM/WOB
- Added to content pack validation (score now 0-7)
- FORMAT_SPEC.md v1.1 updated with WOC binary layout
- 19 new test assertions: flat terrain generation (32k tris all
walkable), save/load round-trip, hole skipping
- 328 total assertions across 84 test cases
- Ctrl+Shift+E keyboard shortcut for WCP content pack export
- Help panel expanded: object tools (snap/align/flatten/scatter/select
by type), all terrain generators, stamp save/load, export shortcuts
- ObjectPlacer::loadFromFile restores activePath_ from loaded objects
so users can continue placing the same type after loading
- WCP export menu item now shows Ctrl+Shift+E hint
- Terrain stamps save/load to JSON: reuse terrain features across zones
and sessions. Save/Load buttons in Sculpt > Stamp/Clone panel
- WCP Inspect now shows full file breakdown: terrain/model/building/
texture/data counts with total size. Powered by readInfo file list
parsing with auto-categorization by extension
- stats.json now includes chunk count, triangle count, tile count, and
editor version alongside existing object/NPC/quest/texture counts
- Fix unprotected std::stoi in custom zone WOT filename parser
- Flatten Ground: flattens terrain to object height with smooth falloff
around placed buildings/structures (undoable). Button in object panel
- Scatter auto-align: checkbox enables terrain snapping + slope alignment
for scattered objects (trees snap to ground and lean with hillsides)
- Batch convert now falls back to asset manifest when filesystem dir is
empty — converts M2/WMO from game data without filesystem extraction
- Public terrain editor wrappers: beginGeneratorUndo, endGeneratorUndo,
markDirty, stitchChunkEdges, getChunkVertexWorldPos
New features:
- Align to Slope: rotates objects to match terrain surface normal at
their position (trees on hillsides lean naturally). Works with
multi-select. Available in object panel and right-click context menu
- Batch Convert Assets: File menu option to recursively convert all
M2→WOM and WMO→WOB files in a data directory to open format
- Import & Load: one-click WCP unpack + auto-open the imported zone

Bug fixes:
- ObjectPlacer::clearAll() now resets uniqueIdCounter_ to 1
- NpcSpawner::clearAll() added with idCounter_ reset (was manual clear)
- clearAllObjects() uses NpcSpawner::clearAll() instead of manual clear
- Quest panel has terrain-loaded guard (prevents crash before loading)
Features:
- Zone rename: editable map name field in Info panel (press Enter)
- Load objects/creatures/quests from both output/ and custom_zones/
directories (WOT zones from custom_zones now get their NPCs loaded)
Bug fixes:
- Fix README.txt version from v0.8.0 to v1.0.0
- Reset NPC idCounter_ on loadFromFile to prevent ID collisions
- WCP content pack uses project author/description if loaded instead
of hardcoded "Kelsi Davis"

- Multi-select: Ctrl+Shift+Click adds objects to selection, transforms
(move/rotate/scale/delete) operate on all selected objects at once
- Time-of-day slider (0-24h) with automatic sun angle, light color,
ambient, fog, and sky color transitions (dawn/day/dusk/night)
- View > Sky/Lighting menu: color pickers for light/ambient/fog, fog
distance sliders, preset buttons (Dawn/Noon/Dusk/Night)
- loadADT prefers WOT/WHM open format from custom_zones/output dirs
- Selection count display when multiple objects selected
- setSkyPreset now delegates to setTimeOfDay for consistency
- Show active texture name in info panel when in paint mode
- Display terrain height range (min/max/avg) in properties panel
- Document Alt+Click eyedropper shortcut in help panel
- Texture eyedropper: pickTextureAt() samples dominant texture at world
position by reading chunk alpha maps. Alt+Click in paint mode or
click the Eyedropper button to activate
- loadADT now checks custom_zones/ and output/ for WOT/WHM open format
files first, falling back to ADT binary only if not found
- Fix unused variable warning in scatterPatches
- Document Alt+Click in help panel

- Fix stale static char buffer in quest objective loop (showed wrong
objective's description when editing multiple objectives)
- Zero-initialize all quest UI text buffers for null termination safety
- Fix unused variable warnings in terrain_editor.cpp
- Add chain link combo to quest creation (select next quest in chain)
- Add completion text field to quest creation form

- Lists all discovered custom zones with name and quest indicator [Q]
- Tooltip shows description and author on hover
- Click to load the zone's WOT/WHM terrain into the editor
- Parses tile coords from WOT filename for correct positioning
- Full round-trip: export → discover → reload for iterative editing
- File > Project > Git submenu: Init, Commit, Push, Pull operations
- Init Git Repo: initializes git in the project directory with initial commit
- Commit Changes: auto-saves zone then commits all changes
- Push/Pull: sync with remote repositories for team collaboration
- Git Status: shows current repo state directly in the menu
- Teams can collaborate on custom expansions using standard git workflows
- File > Project submenu: New/Save/Load project, add zones
- "Add Current Zone to Project" captures loaded map/tile info
- Project path editable in the menu
- Zone count shown for quick reference
- Foundation for multi-zone custom expansion workflow:
create project → add zones → edit each → export all as WCP
- File > Export Open Format (.wot/.whm) menu item for standalone export
- Every zone export (Ctrl+S, Export Zone) now also writes .wot/.whm
alongside the ADT/WDT — dual format output
- Export package now contains: ADT + WDT + WOT + WHM + JSON files
- Both Blizzard-compatible (for existing servers) and open format
(for wowee-native loading and redistribution)
- File > Export Content Pack (.wcp) saves zone + packs into WCP archive
- Auto-saves zone first, then bundles into the novel WCP format
- WCP is a custom format unique to wowee (not MPQ, not CASC)
- Output: output/MapName.wcp ready for distribution
- Toast notification on success/failure
- "Create + Generate" was setting a flag but never calling generateCompleteZone()
- Now properly chains: create terrain → run full procedural pipeline
(noise → smooth → normals → height paint → slope paint → detail → water → beaches)
- Uses generateAfterCreate_ flag to defer generation until after terrain is created
- Pick height, Punch Hole, Fill Hole, Delete All in Radius buttons
no longer require cursor to be actively on terrain
- All buttons now use last known brush position consistently
- Fixes the fundamental UX issue where clicking a UI button moves
the cursor off terrain, making the button do nothing
- About dialog was broken because ImGui::OpenPopup inside BeginMenu
has wrong ID scope — popup never appeared
- Changed to a proper ImGui::Begin window with showAbout_ flag
- Closeable with X button or clicking About again
- Shows version, author, feature summary, and tech stack
- Removed isActive() requirement from all "Create at Cursor" buttons
(Mesa, Crater, Hill, Valley, Stamp, Ridge, Flatten Platform, Holes)
- Buttons now use the last known brush position which persists when
cursor moves to the UI panel to click the button
- Fixes: "Create Mesa at Cursor can't work if cursor is clicking
that button" — now it uses wherever the cursor was last on terrain
