WoWmapview 0.5

[SushiLov3r]

WoWmapview is a 3D map viewer for World of Watcraft. It uses the data files included with the game to display the 3D game world, which you can explore by flying anywhere. It allows access to off-limits developer areas and unfinished instance maps.

The reverse engineering of the game data files is a work in progress, so obviously the viewer is neither perfect nor complete, and definitely not optimized.

WoWmapview is released under the GNU General Public License.

Requirements

Since I'm not as qualified of a programmer as the professionals at Blizzard, this map viewer is not really geared towards being fast or efficient. The WoW client does a good job of determining what is and isn't visible, and only showing a small subset at a time - WoWmapview loads larger map chunks at once, and caches the recent areas, so there are small delays as new map areas are loaded. And of course, loading all this stuff makes it fairly memory-hungry.

System requirements for WoWmapview:

at least 512 megs of RAM,
Geforce2 or better video card (needs to support 2 texture units)
an installed World of Warcraft client (the open beta version is ok, too)

It's not just the regular old Map Viewer that's been broken since before Cata?
