Documentation
WoWDev Wiki
The WoWDev Wiki is a community-maintained resource documenting World of Warcraft file formats and protocols. This project's file format parsers were implemented based on specifications from the wiki:
- ADT (terrain) - Terrain tile format
- M2 (models) - Character and creature model format
- WMO (buildings) - World model object format
- BLP (textures) - Blizzard picture format
- DBC (database) - Database client file format
- World Packet - Network protocol opcodes

MaNGOS / CMaNGOS
https://github.com/cmangos/mangos-wotlk
Open-source WoW server emulator. Referenced for protocol documentation and authentication flow.
