WOM1/WOM2 had a single mesh with one texture, which lost the multi-submesh
structure of complex M2 models (body+hair+eyes+armor each need different
textures and blend modes).
WOM3 adds a Batch array: each batch has indexStart/indexCount + a textureIndex
into texturePaths + blendMode + flags. Loader is fully backward compatible:
WOM1/WOM2 files still load, and WOM3 with no batches block falls back to a
single full-mesh batch. fromM2 now extracts batches with materials, and toM2
emits matching M2 batches so the renderer can draw them correctly.
Upgrades WOM from geometry-only (WOM1) to fully animated (WOM2):
- WOM2 magic (0x324D4F57) for animated models, WOM1 for static
- Vertex extended: +boneWeights[4] +boneIndices[4] (40 bytes vs 32)
- Bone data: keyBoneId, parentBone, pivot, flags per bone
- Animation data: per-sequence per-bone keyframes with translation,
rotation (quaternion), scale at millisecond timestamps
- fromM2() now preserves all skeletal data: bone hierarchy, weights,
and per-sequence keyframes from M2 animation tracks
- Backward compatible: WOM1 files load without bone data (32-byte
vertices read and padded with default bone weights)
- FORMAT_SPEC.md updated with WOM2 binary layout
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
- WOB save/load now serializes Material struct fields (flags, shader,
blendMode, texturePath) per group — was saving only texture paths
- FORMAT_SPEC.md v1.1: documents WOT doodad/WMO placements, WOB
material fields, doodad rotation, terrain stamps, WCP file list
- Test coverage: 5 new assertions verify material round-trip (flags,
shader, blendMode all preserved through save→load cycle)
- 260 total assertions across 75 test cases, all passing
