WoW Model Mover test

[UnknOwned]

The new model structure have certainly pissed me off since all the god old ways suddenly got nurfed, and even worse. It seems like there are some "fake" index that only gives you half of the models and so.

It eventually seems like they went for the "TLS method" by linking each object together adding a new offset to the structure providing the link to the next object.

But I finally managed to update the indexer so I could move around the models again, I fixed the collision so it now seem to be working but still not 100% like if I didnt move the model.


Collision, Visibility and Visual Position is still stored in 3 separate areas for some damn reason and are off cause not the same value

It also seems like the SSm2 and WMO's are stored the same way.
And this is a good thing, cause if you index all SSm2's you can open doors, locks etc by just changing the animaiton of the particular model.
So in this case i would just point my mouse next to the door, then hit a button and the door would open.

(notice the bowling feature^^ Throwing aorund objects and they'll fly in the direction you throw them in.

Very nice sir, Been waiting for this feature to get fixed
When do you think it will be ready for WI?

[Nesox]

hehe this would be nice to implement in a bot so it wont get stuck on objects

I could apply it now though I would love to have WMO and SSM2 in there also.

Except that other people would see you walking through trees, probably doing more harm than good

[Novalok]

No rush man, i love your work and will wait as long as it takes

[Cypher]

Nicely done.

Haha, now we know Blizzard is lazy and uses 2d models where you can't see both sides

Program looks very cool, +rep

You're an idiot. Rendering all the sides of a model is a waste when you only see one side of it in game. Blizzard only renders the visible parts of each model, not the entire thing.

But I like wasting resources!

Just something I glossed over the first time. You're confusing the term "TLS method" with "linked list". What you're referring to is a linked list. The "TLS method" describes a method used to access a pointer to the linked list for objects then enumerate them, its called so because the pointer is thread local and resides in the Thread-Local Storage (TLS) for WoWs main thread.

Whilst coding something like that would be fun for me, actually throwing around objects would get old pretty fast.

You got too much time on your hands?

That's it... that was why i said the "TLS method" with thoes ""
Linked List was the name ^^

...Collision, Visibility and Visual Position is still stored in 3 separate areas ....

I know collision, but what is visibility and visual position? and where are they in memory?
