Closes the WTIT open-format loop with --export-wtit-json /
--import-wtit-json, mirroring the JSON pairs added for
every other novel binary format. All 24 binary formats
added since WOL now have full JSON round-trip authoring.
Each title round-trips all 8 scalar fields (titleId, name,
nameMale, nameFemale, iconPath, prefix, category, sortOrder).
Two enum-typed fields emit dual int + name forms:
• category (achievement/pvp/raid/class/event/profession/...)
• prefix (1=prefix vs 0=suffix display position)
Verified byte-identical round-trip on the PvP preset
(28-title Honor System ladder with full Alliance + Horde
rank coverage preserved through the JSON layer).
Adds 2 flags (616 documented total now).
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-
granted titles by
looking up matching WTIT
entry by name)
Format:
• magic "WTIT", version 1, little-endian
• per title: titleId / name / nameMale / nameFemale /
iconPath / prefix (suffix vs prefix display) /
category / sortOrder
Enums:
• Category (8): Achievement / Pvp / Raid / ClassTitle /
Event / Profession / Lore / Custom
API: WoweeTitleLoader::save / load / exists +
WoweeTitle::findById / findByName.
Three preset emitters showcase typical title catalogs:
• makeStarter — 4 titles (Versatile / Sergeant /
Champion / Hallowed) covering 4
categories
• makePvp — 28-title classic Honor System ladder
(14 Alliance ranks Private->Grand
Marshal + 14 Horde ranks Scout->High
Warlord)
• makeAchievement — 8 achievement titles including "the
Versatile" matching WACH.makeMeta's
achievement 250 titleReward + capstone
profession titles
CLI added (5 flags, 608 documented total now):
--gen-titles / --gen-titles-pvp / --gen-titles-achievement
--info-wtit / --validate-wtit
Validator catches: titleId=0 + duplicates, empty name,
unknown category, gender variants set on only one side
(causes mixed-gender display when the runtime falls back to
canonical for the unset side).
