- CONTRIBUTING.md: C++17 → C++20 (matches CMakeLists.txt) - TROUBLESHOOTING.md: fix log path (~/.wowee/logs/ → logs/wowee.log) - docs/authentication.md: remove stale "next milestone" (char enum and world entry have been working for months) - docs/srp-implementation.md: update session key status (RC4 encryption is implemented), fix file reference to actual src/auth/srp.cpp - docs/packet-framing.md: remove stale "next steps" (realm list is fully implemented), update status with tested servers - docs/WARDEN_IMPLEMENTATION.md: fix file list — handler is in warden_handler.cpp not game_handler.cpp, add warden_memory.hpp/cpp - docs/WARDEN_QUICK_REFERENCE.md: fix header/source paths (include/ not src/), add warden_handler and warden_memory - docs/quickstart.md: fix clone command (--recurse-submodules, WoWee not wowee), remove obsolete manual ImGui clone step, fix log path - docs/server-setup.md: update version to v1.8.9-preview, date to 2026-03-30, add all supported expansions - assets/textures/README.md: remove broken doc references (TURTLEHD_IMPORT.md, TEXTURE_MANIFEST.txt), update integration status to reflect working PNG override pipeline

# Contributing to Wowee
|
|
|
|
## Build Setup
|
|
|
|
See [BUILD_INSTRUCTIONS.md](BUILD_INSTRUCTIONS.md) for full platform-specific details.
|
|
The short version: CMake + Make on Linux/macOS, MSYS2 on Windows.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
cmake -B build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
|
|
make -C build -j$(nproc)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Code Style
|
|
|
|
- **C++20**. Use `#pragma once` for include guards.
|
|
- Namespaces: `wowee::game`, `wowee::rendering`, `wowee::ui`, `wowee::core`, `wowee::network`.
|
|
- Conventional commit messages in imperative mood:
|
|
- `feat:` new feature
|
|
- `fix:` bug fix
|
|
- `refactor:` code restructuring with no behavior change
|
|
- `perf:` performance improvement
|
|
- Prefer `constexpr` over `static const` for compile-time data.
|
|
- Mark functions whose return value should not be ignored with `[[nodiscard]]`.
|
|
|
|
## Pull Request Process
|
|
|
|
1. Branch from `master`.
|
|
2. Keep commits focused -- one logical change per commit.
|
|
3. Describe *what* changed and *why* in the PR description.
|
|
4. Ensure the project compiles cleanly before submitting.
|
|
5. Manual testing against a WoW 3.3.5a server (e.g. AzerothCore/ChromieCraft) is expected
|
|
for gameplay-affecting changes.
|
|
|
|
## Architecture Overview
|
|
|
|
See [docs/architecture.md](docs/architecture.md) for the full picture. Key namespaces:
|
|
|
|
| Namespace | Responsibility |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| `wowee::game` | Game state, packet handling (`GameHandler`), opcode dispatch |
|
|
| `wowee::rendering` | Vulkan renderer, M2/WMO/terrain, sky system |
|
|
| `wowee::ui` | ImGui windows and HUD (`GameScreen`) |
|
|
| `wowee::core` | Coordinates, math, utilities |
|
|
| `wowee::network` | Connection, `Packet` read/write API |
|
|
|
|
## Packet Handlers
|
|
|
|
The standard pattern for adding a new server packet handler:
|
|
|
|
1. Define a `struct FooData` holding the parsed fields.
|
|
2. Write `void GameHandler::handleFoo(network::Packet& packet)` to parse into `FooData`.
|
|
3. Register it in the dispatch table: `registerHandler(LogicalOpcode::SMSG_FOO, &GameHandler::handleFoo)`.
|
|
|
|
Helper variants: `registerWorldHandler` (requires `isInWorld()`), `registerSkipHandler` (discard),
|
|
`registerErrorHandler` (log warning).
|
|
|
|
## Testing
|
|
|
|
There is no automated test suite. Changes are verified by manual testing against
|
|
WoW 3.3.5a private servers (primarily ChromieCraft/AzerothCore). Classic and TBC
|
|
expansion paths are tested against their respective server builds.
