Squall is an unofficial open source implementation of the Storm standard
|
2020-09-08 23:03:57 -05:00
|
|
|
library circa 2010.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Storm standard library is a collection of data structures and functions
|
|
|
|
|
created by the talented folks at Blizzard Entertainment for use in their
|
|
|
|
|
games.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This project attempts to provide a version of Storm compatible with the
|
|
|
|
|
version used in the final release build of World of Warcraft: Wrath of the
|
|
|
|
|
Lich King in 2010: 3.3.5a (12340).

In the spirit of documenting what is presumed to have existed at the time,
|
|
|
|
|
this project makes every attempt to maintain the canonical names, layouts, and
|
|
|
|
|
side effects of the original implementation of Storm. At the same time, it
|
|
|
|
|
attempts to ensure portability and compatibility with modern 64-bit systems.

## FAQ
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Why?**
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It's fascinating to explore the development practices used to build a modern
|
|
|
|
|
major video game.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Why 3.3.5a?**
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The game and its libraries have become significantly more complex in the
|
|
|
|
|
intervening 10+ years. By picking 3.3.5a, it's possible to imagine this
|
|
|
|
|
implementation will eventually be complete.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Will this let me cheat in the game?**
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
No. Storm is a standard library, and none of its routines are particularly
|
|
|
|
|
relevant to the anti-cheat measures found in the game.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Can I use this in my own development projects?**
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It's probably a bad idea. The original library remains closed source, and this
|
|
|
|
|
project is in no way official.
