3fd978ef89 feat(editor): add WLIQ JSON round-trip (export/import sidecar)
Closes the JSON round-trip gap on the liquid catalog format
shipped this batch. --export-wliq-json emits all 14 scalar
fields (incl. 3-byte fog RGB) plus a dual int + name form for
liquidKind so hand-edits can use either representation.
--import-wliq-json accepts either form, falling back to the
int when both are present. Verified byte-identical round-trip
on all three preset emitters (starter / magical / hazardous).
716 documented CLI flags.

fb07b276f2 feat(pipeline): add WLIQ (Wowee Liquid Type) catalog
45th open format — replaces LiquidType.dbc plus the
AzerothCore-style terrain liquid descriptor data. Defines
liquid materials used by terrain MCNK liquid layers, WMO
interior pools, and procedurally generated fluid bodies in
custom zones. Each liquid pairs a render material (shader +
texture array + flow vectors + fog color) with gameplay data
(damage spell, raw DPS, ambient + splash audio cross-refs).

Cross-references with prior formats — ambientSoundId and
splashSoundId point at WSND.soundId, damageSpellId points at
WSPL.spellId.

10 liquid kinds (Water / Magma / Slime / OceanSalt / FelFire /
HolyLight / TarOil / AcidBog / FrozenWater / UnderworldGoo)
covering both natural and magical fluids. Per-liquid: viscosity
(0=water, 1=slime), flow direction+speed (radians+units/sec),
fog density+RGB, packed minimap RGBA color.

CLI: --gen-liquids (3-entry classic Water/Lava/Slime starter),
--gen-liquids-magical (4 magical pools incl. fel/holy/cosmic),
--gen-liquids-hazardous (3 high-damage liquids with WSPL DoT
cross-refs), --info-wliq, --validate-wliq with --json variants.
Validator catches id=0/duplicates, missing shader/material,
kind out of range, fog/viscosity outside 0..1, hazardous-kind-
without-damage warning, and Water/OceanSalt-with-damage warning
to flag accidental misconfiguration.

0c732a9133 feat(editor): add WHOL JSON round-trip (export/import sidecar)
Closes the JSON round-trip gap on the holiday catalog format
shipped last batch. --export-whol-json emits all 13 scalar
fields plus dual int + name forms for holidayKind and
recurrence so hand-edits can use either representation.
--import-whol-json accepts either form, falling back to the
int when both are present. Verified byte-identical round-trip
on all three preset emitters (starter / weekly / special).
709 documented CLI flags.

2666b976c9 feat(pipeline): add WHOL (Wowee Holiday) catalog
44th open format — replaces Holidays.dbc + HolidayDescriptions.dbc
+ HolidayNames.dbc plus the AzerothCore-style game_event SQL
tables. Defines time-gated world events: seasonal holidays
(Hallow's End / Brewfest / Winter Veil), weekly call-to-arms BG
bonuses, world-PvP windows (Wintergrasp), one-shot specials, and
recurring daily / weekly resets. Each holiday has a recurrence
rule (Annual / Monthly / WeeklyRecur / OneTime), a calendar
window (startMonth + startDay + durationHours), and optional
cross-refs to a feature creature, an intro quest, and a token /
item reward issued during the window.

Cross-references with prior formats — holidayQuestId points at
WQT.questId, bossCreatureId points at WCRT.creatureId,
itemRewardId points at WIT.itemId, and areaIdGate / mapIdGate
point at WMS.areaId / WMS.mapId.

CLI: --gen-holidays (3 seasonal starter), --gen-holidays-weekly
(3 weekly BG call-to-arms windows), --gen-holidays-special (3
world-PvP / lunar / children events), --info-whol, --validate-whol
with --json variants. Validator catches id=0/duplicates, kind /
recurrence out of range, durationHours=0, invalid month/day for
non-weekly recurrence, and calendar-only events (no quest +
boss + reward) as a warning.

be96775dc6 feat(editor): add WVHC JSON round-trip (export/import sidecar)
Closes the JSON round-trip gap on the vehicle catalog format
shipped last batch. --export-wvhc-json emits all 10 scalar
fields plus a nested array of seats per entry, and dual int +
name forms for vehicleKind / movementKind / powerType so
hand-edits can use either representation. --import-wvhc-json
accepts either form, falling back to the int when both are
present, and reconstructs the seat array preserving seat
flags / attachments / control-spell cross-refs. Verified
byte-identical round-trip on all three preset emitters
(starter / siege / flying), including nested seat data. 702
documented CLI flags.

fields plus a dual int + name form for glyphType so hand-edits
can use either representation. --import-wgly-json accepts
either form, falling back to the int when both are present.
Verified byte-identical round-trip on all three preset emitters
(starter / warrior / universal). 700 documented CLI flags.

dcbc9706f2 feat(pipeline): add WVHC (Wowee Vehicle) catalog
43rd open format — replaces Vehicle.dbc + VehicleSeat.dbc plus
the AzerothCore-style vehicle_template SQL tables. Defines
drivable vehicles: tanks, demolishers, motorcycles, gryphons,
choppers, siege weapons, multi-passenger transports. Each entry
pairs a creature template (the rendered model) with a fixed
seat layout — driver / passenger / gunner seats with their own
attachment points, control flags (kSeatDriver / kSeatGunner /
kSeatPassenger / kSeatHidesPlayer / kSeatNoEjectByCC), and
per-seat abilities mounted to the action bar.

Cross-references with prior formats — creatureId points at
WCRT.creatureId (the rendered model), flightCapabilityId points
at WMNT.mountId for shared fly-speed tables, and per-seat
controlSpellId / exitSpellId point at WSPL.spellId.

CLI: --gen-vehicles (3-vehicle starter chopper/wind-rider/tank),
--gen-vehicles-siege (3 siege weapons with control spellIds),
--gen-vehicles-flying (3 flying mounts cross-ref WMNT
flightCapabilityIds), --info-wvhc, --validate-wvhc with --json
variants. Validator catches id=0/duplicates, missing creature,
enum out-of-range, empty seat list, flying-vehicle on wrong
movement (would fall through world), driver-flag exclusivity
(0 or >1 drivers), and duplicate seatIndex within a vehicle.

0d9c449fdc feat(editor): add WCMS JSON round-trip (export/import sidecar)
Closes the JSON round-trip gap on the cinematic catalog format
shipped two batches ago. --export-wcms-json emits all 9 scalar
fields plus dual int + name forms for kind and triggerKind so
hand-edits can use either representation. --import-wcms-json
accepts either form, falling back to the int when both are
present. Verified byte-identical round-trip on all three preset
emitters (starter / intros / quests).

92327fc0c0 feat(pipeline): add WGLY (Wowee Glyph) catalog
42nd open format — replaces GlyphProperties.dbc + GlyphSlot.dbc
plus the AzerothCore-style glyph_properties SQL table. Defines
the WotLK glyph system: per-class inscribable glyphs that
modify spell behavior. Each entry pairs a glyph item (the
inscriber's craft output) with the spell aura that applies the
modification, tagged with a Major / Minor / Prime slot type and
a classMask of allowed classes.

Cross-references with prior formats — spellId points at
WSPL.spellId (the aura), itemId points at WIT.itemId (the
inscribed item), and classMask bit positions match the WCHC
classId enum (1=Warrior, 2=Paladin, 3=Hunter, etc).

CLI: --gen-glyphs (3-entry per-role starter), --gen-glyphs-warrior
(6-entry full warrior allotment), --gen-glyphs-universal (4
classMask=All utility glyphs), --info-wgly, --validate-wgly with
--json variants. Validator catches id=0/duplicates, empty name,
spellId=0 (glyph applies no aura), classMask=0 (no class can
inscribe), itemId=0 warning, requiredLevel<25 warning (below
WotLK glyph threshold), and glyphType out-of-range.

shipped last batch. --export-wchn-json emits all 10 scalar fields
plus dual int + name forms for channelType and factionAccess so
hand-edits can use either representation. --import-wchn-json
accepts either form, falling back to the int when both are
present. Verified byte-identical round-trip on all three preset
emitters (starter / city / moderated).

0be9bf86db feat(pipeline): add WCMS (Wowee Cinematic) catalog
41st open format — replaces Movie.dbc / CinematicCamera.dbc /
CinematicSequences.dbc plus the AzerothCore cinematic_camera SQL
table. Defines pre-rendered videos, in-engine camera flythroughs,
text crawls, and still images, each with a media path, duration,
skippable flag, and a polymorphic trigger that fires on quest
events / class first-login / zone entry / dungeon clear /
achievements / level milestones.

Cross-references with prior formats — triggerTargetId resolves
by triggerKind to WQT.questId / WMS.areaId / WMS.mapId /
WCHC.classId / WACH.achievementId, and soundtrackId points at
WSND.soundId.

CLI: --gen-cinematics (3-entry starter), --gen-cinematics-intros
(4 class intros), --gen-cinematics-quests (3 quest-bound
cinematics referencing demo questIds 1/100/102), --info-wcms,
--validate-wcms with --json variants. Validator catches
id=0/duplicates, empty name/mediaPath, kind/trigger out of
range, missing target id for non-Manual/Login/LevelUp triggers,
zero-duration entries, and non-skippable pre-rendered videos.

89fcd4d4cb feat(editor): add WAUC JSON round-trip authoring workflow
Closes the WAUC open-format loop with --export-wauc-json /
--import-wauc-json, mirroring the JSON pairs added for
every other novel binary format. All 33 binary formats
added since WOL now have full JSON round-trip authoring.

Each house round-trips all 14 scalar fields plus the
factionAccess enum dual int + name forms (alliance / horde
/ neutral / both).

Verified byte-identical round-trip on the faction-pair
preset (3 houses including Stormwind/Orgrimmar/Booty Bay
with different cut rates and auctioneer NPC IDs preserved
through the JSON layer).

Adds 2 flags (679 documented total now).

af214d8b34 feat(pipeline): add WCHN (Wowee Chat Channel) catalog
Novel open replacement for Blizzard's ChatChannels.dbc +
the AzerothCore-style chat_channel SQL tables. The 40th
open format added to the editor.

Defines the world chat channel system: General, Trade,
LookingForGroup, GuildRecruitment, LocalDefense, plus
per-zone area channels and custom user-created channels.
Each channel has access rules (faction / level), join
behavior (auto vs opt-in), broadcast policy (announce /
moderated), and optional area / map gating that auto-joins
or auto-leaves the channel as the player moves.

Cross-references with previously-added formats:
  WCHN.entry.areaIdGate -> WMS.area.areaId
                           (channel auto-attaches in this area)
  WCHN.entry.mapIdGate  -> WMS.map.mapId
                           (channel auto-attaches on this map)

Format:
  • magic "WCHN", version 1, little-endian
  • per channel: channelId / name / description /
    channelType / factionAccess / autoJoin / announce /
    moderated / minLevel / areaIdGate / mapIdGate

Enums:
  • ChannelType (10): AreaLocal / Zone / Continent / World /
                      Trade / LookingForGroup / GuildRecruit /
                      LocalDefense / Custom / Pvp
  • FactionAccess (3): Alliance / Horde / Both

API: WoweeChannelLoader::save / load / exists / findById.

Three preset emitters:
  • makeStarter   — 4 stock channels (General Zone +
                     Trade + LFG + GuildRecruit) with
                     default autoJoin policies
  • makeCity      — 5 city-specific channels (3 Stormwind +
                     2 Orgrimmar) with mapId / areaId gates
                     so they auto-attach on entry
  • makeModerated — 3 moderated / restricted channels
                     (LocalDefense level 10+, WorldDefense
                     moderated, RaidCoordination level 60+)

CLI added (5 flags, 677 documented total now):
  --gen-channels / --gen-channels-city / --gen-channels-moderated
  --info-wchn / --validate-wchn

Validator catches: channelId=0 + duplicates, empty name,
unknown channelType / factionAccess, world / continent
channel with area or map gate (gate is silently ignored at
runtime — usually a typo), minLevel=0 (no level gate at all).

13f09b8cb7 feat(editor): add WPET JSON round-trip authoring workflow
Closes the WPET open-format loop with --export-wpet-json /
--import-wpet-json, mirroring the JSON pairs added for
every other novel binary format. All 32 binary formats
added since WOL now have full JSON round-trip authoring.

Two top-level arrays mirror the binary layout:
  • families[] — familyId / name / description / icon /
                  petType (dual int + name) /
                  baseAttackSpeed / damageMultiplier /
                  armorMultiplier / dietMask + name /
                  abilities[]
  • minions[]  — minionId / name / summonSpellId /
                  creatureId / abilities[]

Verified byte-identical round-trip on the starter preset
(2 hunter families with 3 abilities each + 1 warlock Imp
with 2 abilities including autocast preferences preserved
through the JSON layer).

Adds 2 flags (672 documented total now).

ab72380ee0 feat(pipeline): add WAUC (Wowee Auction House) catalog
Novel open replacement for Blizzard's AuctionHouse.dbc +
the AzerothCore-style auctionhouse / auctionhousebot SQL
tables. The 39th open format added to the editor.

Defines per-house rules for the auction system: faction
access, deposit rate (basis points of buyout price), house
cut on successful sale, three listing duration tiers with
per-tier deposit multipliers, disallowed item-class bitmask,
and the auctioneer NPC.

Cross-references with previously-added formats:
  WAUC.entry.auctioneerNpcId   -> WCRT.entry.creatureId
                                   (Auctioneer-flagged NPC)
  WAUC.entry.disallowedClassMask
                                  bitmask of WIT.Class values
                                  that may not be auctioned at
                                  this house

The faction-pair preset captures the canonical asymmetry:
faction houses charge 5% on a successful sale while neutral
houses charge 15% — the cross-faction tax that makes
neutral AHs profitable for goblins.

Format:
  • magic "WAUC", version 1, little-endian
  • per house: houseId / auctioneerNpcId / name /
    factionAccess / baseDepositRateBp / houseCutRateBp /
    maxBidCopper / 3 duration hours + 3 deposit multipliers /
    disallowedClassMask

Enums:
  • FactionAccess (4): Alliance / Horde / Neutral / Both
  • Rates use basis points: 10000 = 100%

API: WoweeAuctionLoader::save / load / exists / findById.

Three preset emitters showcase typical auction setups:
  • makeStarter        — 1 neutral house with default 12h /
                          24h / 48h tiers
  • makeFactionPair    — 3 houses (Stormwind / Orgrimmar /
                          Booty Bay) with auctioneer NPC IDs
                          + canonical faction-vs-neutral cut
                          rates
  • makeRestricted     — 1 house disallowing Containers (1) +
                          Quest items (12) + Keys (13) with
                          tighter durations + 1000g bid cap

CLI added (5 flags, 670 documented total now):
  --gen-auction / --gen-auction-pair / --gen-auction-restricted
  --info-wauc / --validate-wauc

Validator catches: houseId=0 + duplicates, empty name,
factionAccess out of range, duration tier=0, durations not
in short<=medium<=long order, houseCutRateBp >= 100% (seller
loses money on a sale), warns on >50% cut.

a3af35ec49 feat(editor): add WPCD JSON round-trip authoring workflow
Closes the WPCD open-format loop with --export-wpcd-json /
--import-wpcd-json, mirroring the JSON pairs added for
every other novel binary format. All 31 binary formats
added since WOL now have full JSON round-trip authoring.

Each condition round-trips all 9 scalar fields. Two
enum-typed fields emit dual int + name forms:
  • kind       (true / false / quest-done / has-item /
                 min-level / class / event / area / title / ...)
  • aggregator (and / or)

Verified byte-identical round-trip on the gated preset
(5 conditions in 2 groups demonstrating both AND and OR
aggregation, with full polymorphic targetId / minValue /
maxValue payload preserved through the JSON layer).

Adds 2 flags (665 documented total now).

62e793800c feat(pipeline): add WPET (Wowee Pet System) catalog
Novel open replacement for AzerothCore-style pet_template +
pet_levelstats SQL + the pet-related subsets of
CreatureFamily.dbc + SpellFamilyName.dbc. The 38th open
format added to the editor.

Defines two related kinds of player-controlled NPCs in
one catalog:
  • Pet families  — hunter pet families (Wolf / Cat / Bear /
                     Boar / Raptor / Spider / etc.) with
                     per-family ability sets, base stat
                     multipliers, and diet preferences
  • Warlock minions — Imp / Voidwalker / Succubus /
                       Felhunter / Felguard, each with
                       their own summon spell, creature
                       template, and ability list

Cross-references with previously-added formats:
  WPET.family.familyId          -> WCRT.entry.familyId
                                    (matches creature family)
  WPET.family.abilities.spellId -> WSPL.entry.spellId
  WPET.minion.summonSpellId     -> WSPL.entry.spellId
  WPET.minion.creatureId        -> WCRT.entry.creatureId
                                    (used for stat scaling)
  WPET.minion.abilities.spellId -> WSPL.entry.spellId

The starter preset's familyIds (1=Wolf, 2=Cat) match
WCRT::FamilyId enum values, so a hunter taming a wolf via
WCRT links straight through to WPET ability sets.

Format:
  • magic "WPET", version 1, little-endian
  • families[]: familyId / name / description / icon /
    petType / baseAttackSpeed / damageMultiplier /
    armorMultiplier / dietMask / abilities[]
  • minions[]: minionId / name / summonSpellId / creatureId /
    abilities[] (each: spellId / rank / autocastDefault)

Enums:
  • PetType (3): Cunning / Ferocity / Tenacity
                  (WotLK+ talent tree categorization)
  • DietFlags:   Meat / Fish / Bread / Cheese / Fruit / Fungus

API: WoweePetLoader::save / load / exists +
WoweePet::findFamily / findMinion + dietMaskName helper
that decodes a dietMask into a "meat+fish" string.

Three preset emitters showcase typical pet catalogs:
  • makeStarter — 2 hunter families (Wolf + Cat) with full
                   3-ability sets + 1 warlock Imp
  • makeHunter  — 8 classic hunter families covering all
                   3 petType categories with appropriate
                   diet masks
  • makeWarlock — 5 warlock minions each with summon spell
                   ID and creatureId pointing into WCRT

CLI added (5 flags, 663 documented total now):
  --gen-pets / --gen-pets-hunter / --gen-pets-warlock
  --info-wpet / --validate-wpet

Validator catches: ids=0 + duplicates, empty name, petType
out of range, baseAttackSpeed<=0 (would divide by zero in
DPS calc), dietMask=0 (pet cannot be fed for happiness),
minion missing summonSpellId / creatureId.

650651ee2b feat(editor): add WGLD JSON round-trip authoring workflow
Closes the WGLD open-format loop with --export-wgld-json /
--import-wgld-json, mirroring the JSON pairs added for
every other novel binary format. All 30 binary formats
added since WOL now have full JSON round-trip authoring.

Each guild round-trips header scalars (12 fields) plus the
4 sub-arrays:
  • ranks[]    — rank ladder with permissions + money cap
  • members[]  — character roster with rank + notes
  • bankTabs[] — per-tab name + 3 permission masks
  • perks[]    — purchased buffs with WSPL spell refs

factionId emits dual int + name forms (alliance / horde).

Verified byte-identical round-trip on the full preset
(1 guild with 6 ranks + 8 members + 4 bank tabs + 3
perks; all permission masks and per-rank money caps
preserved through the JSON layer).

Adds 2 flags (658 documented total now).

f290a0d4a9 feat(pipeline): add WPCD (Wowee Player Condition) format
Novel open replacement for Blizzard's PlayerCondition.dbc +
the AzerothCore-style condition_template SQL tables. The
37th open format added to the editor.

Defines reusable boolean conditions that other formats can
reference for gating: "player has quest X completed",
"player level >= N", "player class is mage", "player has
item Y in inventory", "WSEA event Z is active".

Conditions can be grouped and combined with AND/OR
aggregators on a per-group basis: a quest-giver gossip
option that says "show only to level 60 alliance mages
who completed quest 1234" composes 4 conditions sharing
the same groupId with AND aggregation. The runtime walks
each group, applies the group's aggregator, and returns
the boolean result to the caller.

Cross-references with previously-added formats — the
targetId field has a polymorphic interpretation by kind:
  WPCD.targetId (kind=QuestCompleted/Active) -> WQT.questId
  WPCD.targetId (kind=HasItem)               -> WIT.itemId
  WPCD.targetId (kind=HasSpell)              -> WSPL.spellId
  WPCD.targetId (kind=HasAchievement)        -> WACH.achievementId
  WPCD.targetId (kind=AreaId)                -> WMS.areaId
  WPCD.targetId (kind=EventActive)           -> WSEA.eventId
  WPCD.targetId (kind=HasTitle)              -> WTIT.titleId
  WPCD.targetId (kind=FactionRep)            -> WFAC.factionId
  WPCD.targetId (kind=Class/Race)            -> WCHC class/race id

Future format extensions can reference WPCD.conditionId in
their own gating fields — WTRG triggers gated by player
state, WGSP options visible only when conditions are met,
WMOU summon spells condition-gated by quest progress, etc.

Format:
  • magic "WPCD", version 1, little-endian
  • per condition: conditionId / groupId (0 = standalone) /
    name / description / kind / aggregator / negated /
    targetId / minValue / maxValue

Enums:
  • Kind (17): AlwaysTrue / AlwaysFalse / QuestCompleted /
                QuestActive / HasItem / HasSpell / MinLevel /
                MaxLevel / ClassMatch / RaceMatch /
                FactionRep / HasAchievement / TeamSize /
                GuildLevel / EventActive / AreaId / HasTitle
  • Aggregator (2): And / Or

API: WoweeConditionLoader::save / load / exists / findById.

Three preset emitters showcase typical usage:
  • makeStarter — 4 standalone conditions covering the most
                   common kinds (quest-done / has-item /
                   min-level / class)
  • makeGated   — 5 conditions in 2 groups demonstrating
                   AND-aggregation (alliance + mage + lvl 60)

d14f820a14 feat(editor): add WGEM JSON round-trip authoring workflow
Closes the WGEM open-format loop with --export-wgem-json /

Two top-level arrays mirror the binary layout:
  • gems[]         — gemId / itemIdToInsert / name / color
                      (dual int + name) / statType+Value /

                      chargeCount

Verified byte-identical round-trip on the enchants preset

80ebf1dba5 feat(pipeline): add WGLD (Wowee Guild) catalog format
Novel open replacement for AzerothCore-style guild +
guild_member + guild_rank + guild_bank_tab + guild_perk
SQL tables. The 36th open format added to the editor.

Each guild entry holds the complete social-organization
state: header (name, leader, faction, MOTD, info,
creation date, level + experience, bank money, packed
emblem), rank ladder with permissions bitmask + daily
withdraw caps, member roster with rank + join date +
public/officer notes, bank tabs with per-tab and per-rank
deposit / withdraw / view permission masks, and purchased
guild perks referencing WSPL spell IDs.

Cross-references with previously-added formats:
  WGLD.entry.factionId       ~  WCHC.race.factionId
                                 (guilds are faction-locked)
  WGLD.entry.perks.spellId  -> WSPL.entry.spellId

Format:
  • magic "WGLD", version 1, little-endian
  • per guild: header (12 scalar fields + 4 strings) +
    ranks[] + members[] + bankTabs[] + perks[]
  • per rank: rankIndex / name / permissionsMask /

  • per member: characterName / rankIndex / joinedDate /
    publicNote / officerNote
  • per bankTab: tabIndex / name / iconPath /
    deposit+withdraw+view permission masks
  • per perk: perkId / name / spellId / requiredGuildLevel

API: WoweeGuildLoader::save / load / exists / findById +
shared addDefaultRanks helper used by both starter and
faction-pair presets.

Three preset emitters:
  • makeStarter     — 1 small guild, default 5-rank ladder
                       (GM/Officer/Veteran/Member/Initiate),
                       3 members borrowing names from WCRT
                       merchants for cross-format consistency
  • makeFull        — 1 fleshed-out guild: 6 ranks (with
                       Recruit added) + 8 members + 4 bank
                       tabs (officer-only withdraw on tabs
                       3+4) + 3 perks referencing WSPL

                       Shout / Thunder Clap as placeholder
                       perk procs)

a50d83f6c9 feat(pipeline): add WGEM (Wowee Gem / Enchantment) format
Novel open replacement for Blizzard's ItemEnchantment.dbc +
GemProperties.dbc + SpellItemEnchantment.dbc. The 35th
open format added to the editor.

Defines two related kinds of item enhancement in one
catalog:
  • Gems         — socketable jewelry pieces with color
                    (red / blue / yellow / meta) that fit
                    into gear sockets, granting stats or
                    triggering passive spells when socketed
  • Enchantments — persistent buffs applied to weapon /
                    armor pieces, either by an enchanter
                    spell or by an item proc (Mongoose,
                    Crusader, Berserking)

Cross-references with previously-added formats:
  WGEM.gem.itemIdToInsert  -> WIT.entry.itemId
  WGEM.gem.spellId         -> WSPL.entry.spellId
  WGEM.enchantment.spellId -> WSPL.entry.spellId

Format:
  • magic "WGEM", version 1, little-endian
  • gems[]: gemId / itemIdToInsert / name / color /
    statType + statValue / requiredItemQuality / spellId
  • enchantments[]: enchantId / name / description /
    iconPath / enchantSlot / statType + statValue /
    spellId / durationSeconds / chargeCount

Enums:
  • Color (8):       Meta / Red / Yellow / Blue / Purple /
                      Green / Orange / Prismatic
  • EnchantSlot (5): Permanent / Temporary / SocketColor /
                      Ring / Cloak

API: WoweeGemLoader::save / load / exists +
WoweeGem::findGem / findEnchant.

Three preset emitters showcase common shapes:
  • makeStarter  — 3 gems (one per primary color) +
                    2 enchantments (proc + stat)
  • makeGemSet   — 6-gem full color palette covering
                    primary + secondary combinations
  • makeEnchants — 5 enchant variants spanning slots
                    (Mongoose / Deadly Poison / stats ring /
                    cloak / Berserking)

CLI added (5 flags, 642 documented total now):
  --gen-gems / --gen-gems-set / --gen-gems-enchants
  --info-wgem / --validate-wgem

Validator catches: ids=0 + duplicates, empty name, color /
slot out of range, stat-only entries with statValue=0 (gem
provides nothing), chargeCount > 0 on non-Temporary
enchant slots (charges silently ignored at runtime).

The validator caught a real preset issue on first run —
the proc enchants (Mongoose / Deadly Poison / Berserking)
had spellId=0 and statValue=0, providing nothing. Fixed by
adding placeholder spellIds in the 28000-29000 range, with
a comment noting they resolve to real WSPL proc spells
when the spell catalog is extended.

492d626c3b feat(pipeline): add WMAL (Wowee Mail Template) format
Novel open replacement for AzerothCore-style
mail_loot_template SQL + the in-game mail subset of the
inventory + currency systems. The 34th open format added
to the editor.

Defines templated mail messages with currency + item
attachments. Triggered by quest reward delivery (overflow
when bag is full), auction house bid wins / sales,
achievement reward attachments, GM correspondence, holiday
event mailings (Brewfest samples, Hallow's End candy), and
returned-mail-on-rejection.

Cross-references with previously-added formats:
  WMAL.entry.senderNpcId        -> WCRT.entry.creatureId
  WMAL.entry.attachments.itemId -> WIT.entry.itemId

Format:
  • magic "WMAL", version 1, little-endian
  • per template: templateId / senderNpcId / subject / body /
    senderName / moneyCopperAttached / categoryId / cod /
    returnable / expiryDays / attachments[] (each: itemId +
    quantity)

Enums:
  • Category (8): QuestReward / Auction / GmCorrespondence /
                   AchievementReward / EventMailing / Raffle /
                   ScriptDelivery / ReturnedMail

API: WoweeMailLoader::save / load / exists / findById.

Three preset emitters showcase typical mail templates:
  • makeStarter — 3 templates (quest overflow / auction won /
                   GM gift) covering the 3 most common
                   categories
  • makeHoliday — 4 holiday samples that cross-reference the
                   WTKN seasonal token IDs (200=Tricky Treats,
                   201=Brewfest, 202=Coin of Ancestry,
                   203=Stranger's Gift) so the demo content
                   stack ships a full holiday onboarding
                   experience
  • makeAuction — 5-template auction-house family (outbid /
                   won / sold / expired / cancelled) — runtime
                   fills in actual bid amounts / sold items
                   at send time

CLI added (5 flags, 635 documented total now):
  --gen-mail / --gen-mail-holiday / --gen-mail-auction
  --info-wmal / --validate-wmal

Validator catches: templateId=0 + duplicates, empty subject,
neither senderNpcId nor senderName set (no displayable
sender), unknown category, expiryDays=0 (mail expires
immediately), cod=1 with no money attached (free COD),
empty mail in categories where the runtime doesn't fill in
content (skips Auction / GmCorrespondence / ReturnedMail
where empty templates are intentional).

Two bugs caught + fixed during smoke-test on the auction
preset:
  • print formatting glued the `0` from senderNpcId after
    the senderName when no NPC was set (rendered as
    "Postmaster0" instead of "Postmaster") — fixed with an
    explicit if/else split
  • validator's "no money + no items" warning was too
    aggressive for the Auction category, where templates
    are intentionally informational and the runtime fills
    in the real values — added Auction + ReturnedMail to
    the skip list

Novel open replacement for Blizzard's BattlemasterList.dbc +
PvpDifficulty.dbc + the AzerothCore-style
battleground_template SQL tables. The 33rd open format
added to the editor.

Defines per-BG gameplay rules: player count brackets,
score-to-win, time limit, objective type (annihilation /
capture flag / control nodes / king of hill / resource race
/ carry object), per-team start positions, respawn timer,
and the WTKN currency token awarded on win.

Cross-references with previously-added formats:
  WBGD.entry.mapId       -> WMS.map.mapId
                            (where mapType=Battleground)
  WBGD.entry.markTokenId -> WTKN.entry.tokenId
                            (Mark of Honor for that BG)

The classic preset's markTokenId fields (102/103/104)
deliberately match WTKN.makePvp's "Mark of Honor: Warsong
Gulch / Arathi Basin / Alterac Valley" token ids — so the
demo content stack already wires together: WBGD.scoreToWin
reached → grant WTKN mark → which a vendor in WTRN can
charge in via item.extendedCost.

Format:
  • magic "WBGD", version 1, little-endian

    objectiveKind / min+maxPlayersPerSide /
    minLevel..maxLevel / scoreToWin / timeLimitSeconds /
    bracketSize / allianceStart vec3 + facing /

    markTokenId

Enums:
  • ObjectiveKind (6): Annihilation / CaptureFlag /

                       ResourceRace / CarryObject

                   resource race)
  • makeArena   — 3 arena formats (Nagrand 2v2 / Blade's
                   Edge 3v3 / Lordaeron 5v5) — annihilation

optional recurrence (yearly / monthly / weekly), faction

dc3e566e45 feat(editor): add --gen-texture-gear-cog mechanical wheel
85th procedural texture: gear-cog wheel pattern tiled per
cell. Three concentric radii define the gear:
  • hub   (rNorm < 0.20) — center axle hole, kept as bg
  • inner (rNorm < 0.65) — gap floor between teeth
  • outer (rNorm < 0.92) — tooth tip

Teeth alternate around the gear via a per-tooth phase
calculation: theta is mapped into a tooth period of
2*pi/teeth, with the first half of each period rendering
as a tooth (effective radius = outer) and the second half
rendering as a gap (effective radius = inner).

Useful for: engineering crafting backdrops, mechanical
door textures, gnomish / goblin themed gear icons,
factory / forge tile sets, clockwork-themed dungeons,
steampunk faction insignia, machinery damage states.

Distinct from --gen-texture-rings (concentric circles only,
no teeth). The first procedural texture in the catalogue
that exercises a per-tooth periodic offset rather than a
fixed angular fold.

eefaa5653b feat(pipeline): add WTIT (Wowee Title catalog) format
Novel open replacement for Blizzard's CharTitles.dbc + the
AzerothCore-style character_title SQL table. The 30th open
format added to the editor.

Defines the player-display titles awarded for completing
achievements ("the Versatile"), reaching PvP ranks
("Sergeant Major" / "Stone Guard"), participating in raids
("Champion of the Naaru"), levelling a profession ("Master
Locksmith"), or seasonal events ("Brewmaster", "the
Hallowed").

Closes a long-standing gap: WACH.entry.titleReward has been
a free-form string since batch 116 with no formal catalog
to resolve against. WTIT systematizes those strings into a
real catalog — the runtime resolves WACH.titleReward to a
WTIT entry by name, then displays the titleId in the player
title selector.

Cross-references:
  WACH.entry.titleReward (string) ~= WTIT.entry.name
                                     (string match — runtime
                                      resolves achievement-

                                      entry by name)

Format:
  • magic "WTIT", version 1, little-endian
  • per title: titleId / name / nameMale / nameFemale /
    iconPath / prefix (suffix vs prefix display) /
    category / sortOrder

8c78f8aeb2 feat(pipeline): add WTRG (Wowee Area Trigger) format
Novel open replacement for Blizzard's AreaTrigger.dbc +
AreaTriggerTeleport.dbc + the AzerothCore-style
areatrigger_template / areatrigger_teleport SQL tables.
The 29th open format added to the editor.

Defines proximity-based event zones — when a player enters
a defined region (box or sphere), the runtime fires the
trigger's action: teleport to another map, award
exploration XP for a quest, run a server script, gate an
instance entrance behind a key item, mark a PvP boundary,
or simply display a "Discovered: {area name}" banner.

Cross-references with previously-added formats — every
trigger field has a real format target:
  WTRG.entry.mapId / areaId  -> WMS.map.mapId / WMS.area.areaId
  WTRG.actionTarget (Teleport)        -> WMS.mapId
  WTRG.actionTarget (QuestExploration) -> WQT.questId
  WTRG.requiredQuestId       -> WQT.entry.questId
  WTRG.requiredItemId        -> WIT.entry.itemId (key)

Format:
  • magic "WTRG", version 1, little-endian
  • per trigger: triggerId / mapId / areaId / name /
    center vec3 / shape / kind / boxDims vec3 / radius /
    actionTarget / dest vec3 / destOrientation /
    requiredQuestId / requiredItemId / minLevel

Enums:
  • Shape (2): Box / Sphere

              InstanceEntrance / AreaName / CombatStartZone /
              Waypoint

API: WoweeTriggerLoader::save / load / exists / findById.

  • makeDungeon    — outdoor area-name + portal-style

                      interior exit teleport back outdoors
  • makeFlightPath — 2 sphere waypoints near flight masters
                      so the runtime can auto-open the
                      flight UI on proximity (matches WTAX

added to the editor.

Defines secondary currency tokens beyond gold: Honor Points
(PvP), Arena Points (rated PvP), Marks of Honor (per

currencies. Each token has a balance cap, optional weekly
cap (regenerating earnings limit), and a category for
grouping in the player's currency tab.

e66601c208 feat(pipeline): add WCHC (Wowee Character Classes/Races) format
Novel open replacement for Blizzard's CharClasses.dbc +
CharRaces.dbc + CharStartOutfit.dbc trio. The 27th open
format added to the editor — completes the foundational
character-creation surface.

One file holds three flat arrays:
  • classes — playable classes (Warrior / Mage / etc.) with
              power type (mana/rage/focus/energy/runic),
              base HP+power scaling, faction availability
  • races   — playable races with faction (Alliance/Horde/
              Neutral), starting map+zone, default language
              spell, base stats, racial mount spell
  • outfits — starting gear loadout per (class, race, gender)
              triple, listing item IDs and display slots

Cross-references with previously-added formats:
  WCHC.race.startingMapId        -> WMS.map.mapId
  WCHC.race.startingZoneAreaId   -> WMS.area.areaId
  WCHC.race.defaultLanguageSpellId -> WSPL.entry.spellId
  WCHC.race.mountSpellId         -> WSPL.entry.spellId
  WCHC.outfit.items.itemId       -> WIT.entry.itemId

The starter preset's outfits use real WIT itemIds (1=Worn
Shortsword, 2=Linen Vest, 3=Healing Potion) so the demo
content stack is consistent: a freshly created Human Warrior
in WCHC starts with WIT items 1/2/3, drops them on death
into a WLOT-tracked corpse loot, and can be respawned via
WSPN, etc.

Format:
  • magic "WCHC", version 1, little-endian
  • classes[]: classId / name / icon / powerType / display /
    baseHP+perLevel / basePower+perLevel / factionAvailability
  • races[]: raceId / name / icon / factionId / male+female
    displayId / 5 base stats / startingMap+zone /
    defaultLanguage+mount spell IDs
  • outfits[]: classId+raceId+gender + items[]
    (each: itemId + displaySlot)

82a8c3559e feat(pipeline): add WMS (Wowee Map / Area) catalog format
Novel open replacement for Blizzard's Map.dbc + AreaTable.dbc
+ the AzerothCore-style world_zone SQL tables. The 26th open
format added to the editor.

Defines two related kinds of locator in one catalog:
  • Maps  — top-level worlds (continents / instances / raids /
            battlegrounds / arenas) with a friendly name,
            type, expansion tag, and player-count cap.
  • Areas — sub-zones within maps with friendly names, parent-
            area chain, recommended level range, faction-
            territory marker (alliance / horde / contested /
            both), exploration XP, and an ambient-sound
            cross-reference into WSND.

The runtime uses Areas for minimap labels, location strings
under the player frame, "Discover Sub-zone" XP gains, and
ambient-music selection on zone entry.

Cross-references with previously-added formats:
  WMS.area.ambienceSoundId    -> WSND.entry.soundId
  WMS.area.parentAreaId       -> WMS.area.areaId (intra-format
                                   sub-zone hierarchy)
  WSPN entries are tied to WMS.area boundaries by
  world position (no direct ID — the runtime resolves
  position -> area at lookup time)

Format:
  • magic "WMSX", version 1, little-endian
  • maps[] (each): mapId / name / shortName / mapType /
    expansionId / maxPlayers
  • areas[] (each): areaId / mapId / parentAreaId / name /
    minLevel..maxLevel / factionGroup / explorationXP /
    ambienceSoundId

Enums:
  • MapType (5):     Continent / Instance / Raid / Battleground / Arena
  • ExpansionId (5): Classic / Tbc / Wotlk / Cata / Mop
  • FactionGroup:    Both / Alliance / Horde / Contested
                      (PvP-flagging zone)

doesn't — usually a typo).

The validator caught a real authoring bug in the makeMage /
makeWarrior presets during smoke testing — initial check
was comparing prereqRank against the WRONG talent's maxRank
(this talent's rather than the prereq's). Fixed in the same
commit by hoisting the check into the cross-reference
resolution pass where the prereq talent is in hand.

429460798f feat(editor): add WGSP JSON round-trip authoring workflow
Closes the WGSP open-format loop with --export-wgsp-json /
--import-wgsp-json, mirroring the JSON pairs added for
every other novel binary format. All 17 binary formats
added since WOL now have full JSON round-trip authoring.

Each menu round-trips:
  • menuId, titleText
  • options[] with optionId / text / kind (dual int + name) /
    actionTarget / requiredFlags (dual int + flag-string array) /
    moneyCostCopper

The kindName field makes it obvious that a hand-edited
"vendor" / "trainer" / "submenu" string maps to the right
internal value without needing to know that vendor=2 and
submenu=1.

Verified byte-identical round-trip on the innkeeper preset
(2 menus, 7 options including Submenu cross-references that
must stay byte-stable to preserve the inter-menu graph).

Adds 2 flags (566 documented total now).

3b107459b2 feat(pipeline): add WTAX (Wowee Taxi catalog) format
Novel open replacement for Blizzard's TaxiNodes.dbc +
TaxiPath.dbc + TaxiPathNode.dbc. The 24th open format
added to the editor.

Defines the flight-master network: a set of named nodes
(positions on the world map) plus the paths between them
(sequences of waypoints with per-segment delay and a
per-path gold cost). The same file holds both node and
path lists — flat arrays keyed by id, with intra-format
references from path.fromNodeId / toNodeId to node.nodeId.

Cross-references:
  WCRT.entry (with FlightMaster npcFlag) ~= WTAX.nodeId
                                            (matched by world
                                             position; flight
                                             master NPCs stand
                                             at their nodes)
  WTAX.path.fromNodeId / toNodeId -> WTAX.entry.nodeId
                                     (intra-format graph)

Format:
  • magic "WTAX", version 1, little-endian
  • nodes (each): nodeId / mapId / name / iconPath /
    position / faction restrictions
  • paths (each): pathId / from+toNodeId / moneyCostCopper /
    waypoints[] each with position + per-waypoint delaySec

API: WoweeTaxiLoader::save / load / exists +
WoweeTaxi::findNode / findPath / findPathBetween.

Three preset emitters showcase different graph shapes:
  • makeStarter  — 2 nodes + 2 paths (round-trip)
  • makeRegion   — 4 nodes at a 500m square + 4-path
                    directed ring (NW->NE->SE->SW->NW)
  • makeContinent — 6 nodes hub-spoke + 3 perimeter
                     shortcuts; intermediate waypoints
                     climb to altitude 120m for visual
                     arc effect

CLI added (5 flags, 564 documented total now):
  --gen-taxi / --gen-taxi-region / --gen-taxi-continent
  --info-wtax / --validate-wtax

Validator catches: nodeId/pathId=0 + duplicates, empty node
name, non-finite positions, fromNodeId == toNodeId
(self-loop path), path references to non-existent nodes
(intra-format cross-reference resolution), negative
waypoint delays.

efc27ba7d2 feat(editor): add --gen-mesh-rune-stone standing monolith
91st procedural mesh: a wide flat base block with a tall
narrow monolith standing on top. Reads as a small carved
standing-stone marker.

Distinct from existing ritual-prop primitives:
  • --gen-mesh-altar      — table-shaped, has flat top
  • --gen-mesh-shrine     — multi-tier with cap
  • --gen-mesh-tombstone  — narrower, curved-top silhouette
  • --gen-mesh-pillar     — round column, no base block
  • --gen-mesh-statue     — has figure on top

Useful for: druid groves (boundary markers), witch shrines,
ancient ruins (pre-civilization monuments), graveyard
boundary stones, faction territory markers, Stonehenge-style
ring formations (use 4-8 instances around a center point).

48 verts / 24 tris from two simple boxes — minimal vertex
budget, suitable for placing in dense clusters.

2de08a3fd0 feat(pipeline): add WGSP (Wowee Gossip Menu) format
Novel open replacement for AzerothCore-style gossip_menu +
gossip_menu_option + npc_text SQL tables PLUS the Blizzard
NpcText.dbc family. The 23rd open format added to the
editor.

An NPC's dialogue tree: a menu of options the player can
pick from when right-clicking the NPC. Each option may
bridge to another menu, trigger a vendor / trainer
interaction, offer a quest, etc. The simplified per-option
model (kind + actionTarget + flags + moneyCost) covers the
common cases without needing separate npc_text condition
tables.

Closes a major cross-format gap: WCRT.entry.gossipId has
existed since batch 116 (when WCRT was added) but pointed
to a format that didn't exist yet. The innkeeper preset's
menuId=4001 deliberately matches WCRT's Bartleby NPC so
the demo content stack can wire WCRT.gossipId = 4001 once
that field is plumbed through the runtime.

Cross-references:
  WCRT.entry.gossipId        -> WGSP.entry.menuId
  WGSP.option.actionTarget (Submenu) -> WGSP.entry.menuId
  WGSP.option.actionTarget (Vendor / Trainer)
                              -> WTRN.entry.npcId
  WGSP.option.actionTarget (Quest)  -> WQT.entry.questId

Format:
  • magic "WGSP", version 1, little-endian
  • per menu: menuId / titleText + options[]
  • per option: optionId / text / kind / actionTarget /
    requiredFlags / moneyCostCopper

Enums:
  • OptionKind (13): Close / Submenu / Vendor / Trainer /
                     Quest / Tabard / Banker / Innkeeper /
                     FlightMaster / TextOnly / Script /
                     Battlemaster / Auctioneer
  • OptionFlags:    AllianceOnly / HordeOnly / Coinpouch /
                     QuestGated / Closes

API: WoweeGossipLoader::save / load / exists / findById;
presets makeStarter (1 menu with vendor + trainer + close),
makeInnkeeper (2-menu tree: main menu 4001 with hearth /
vendor / flight / submenu options + lore submenu 4002 that
links back), makeQuestGiver (1 menu with 2 quest options
referencing WQT 1 and 100, plus a paid respec script
exercising the Coinpouch flag with a 10g cost).

CLI added (5 flags, 558 documented total now):
  --gen-gossip / --gen-gossip-innkeeper / --gen-gossip-questgiver
  --info-wgsp / --validate-wgsp

Validator catches: menuId=0 + duplicates, empty title /
options, unknown option kind, empty option text, Submenu
options pointing at non-existent menuIds (intra-format
cross-reference resolution), Coinpouch flag without
moneyCost (misleading UI), AllianceOnly+HordeOnly conflict.

c3f7286d4a feat(editor): add WTRN JSON round-trip authoring workflow
Closes the WTRN open-format loop with --export-wtrn-json /
--import-wtrn-json, mirroring the JSON pairs added for
every other novel binary format. All 16 binary formats
added since WOL now have full JSON round-trip authoring.

Each NPC round-trips:
  • npcId, kindMask (dual int + kindList string array),
    greeting
  • spells[]: spellId / cost / requiredSkill+rank / minLevel
  • items[]:  itemId / stockCount / restockSec /
              extendedCost / moneyCostCopper

The stockCount field has special handling — the sentinel
0xFFFFFFFF value emits as the string "unlimited" instead of
the raw integer, since 4294967295 reads as a magic-number
typo in hand-edit JSON. The importer accepts either form.

Verified byte-identical round-trip on the starter preset
(innkeeper 4001 with 1 spell + 3 items, exercising both
unlimited-stock and finite-stock-with-restock cases).

Adds 2 flags (553 documented total now).

d2ca3ea22b feat(pipeline): add WTRN (Wowee Trainer / Vendor catalog) format
Novel open replacement for AzerothCore-style npc_trainer +
npc_vendor SQL tables PLUS the Blizzard TrainerSpells.dbc
family. The 22nd open format added to the editor.

Unifies trainer spell lists and vendor item inventories
into one per-NPC entry. A creature flagged Trainer or
Vendor in WCRT references a WTRN entry that lists what they
teach / sell. The same NPC can be both — kindMask is a
bitmask covering the Trainer (0x01) and Vendor (0x02) kinds.

This format closes a major cross-format gap: WCRT.npcFlags
already had Vendor / Trainer bits, but until now there was
no format defining what a vendor sells or what a trainer
teaches. Now an NPC marked Vendor in WCRT has a real
inventory, and an NPC marked Trainer has a real spell list.

Cross-references — every WTRN field has a real format target:
  WTRN.entry.npcId           -> WCRT.entry.creatureId
  WTRN.spell.spellId         -> WSPL.entry.spellId
  WTRN.spell.requiredSkillId -> WSKL.entry.skillId
  WTRN.item.itemId           -> WIT.entry.itemId

Format:
  • magic "WTRN", version 1, little-endian
  • per NPC: npcId / kindMask / greeting + spells[] + items[]
  • per spell offer: spellId / moneyCostCopper /
    requiredSkillId / requiredSkillRank / requiredLevel
  • per item offer: itemId / stockCount (0xFFFFFFFF =
    unlimited) / restockSec / extendedCost / moneyCostCopper
    (0 = inherit from WIT.buyPrice)

API: WoweeTrainerLoader::save / load / exists / findByNpc;
presets makeStarter (innkeeper 4001 as both trainer +
vendor: teaches First Aid + sells starter items),
makeMageTrainer (NPC 4003 teaches the WSPL mage spells
at scaling cost), makeWeaponVendor (NPC 4002 sells WIT
weapons with mixed unlimited/finite stock + restock timers).

CLI added (5 flags, 551 documented total now):
  --gen-trainers / --gen-trainers-mage / --gen-trainers-weapons
  --info-wtrn / --validate-wtrn

Validator catches: npcId=0 + duplicates, kindMask=0 (NPC
offers nothing), Trainer flag without spells, Vendor flag
without items, spells/items present without the matching
kind bit (silently ignored at runtime), spellId=0 / itemId=0
in offers, finite stock with restockSec=0 (single-fill —
usually intentional but worth surfacing).

The 3 presets deliberately use npcIds matching WCRT village
merchants (4001/4002/4003) so the demo content stack is
self-consistent: WCRT 4001 has the Vendor + Trainer flag,
and WTRN 4001 actually defines what they sell and teach.
