TODO / Known issues
Application
- Vanilla & WOTLK to load items based on CSV export from vmangos / trinitycore - (done but need to remove duplicates from CSV file)
- Vanilla & WOTLK to load npcs based on CSV export from vmangos / trinitycore - (currently using old WMV file)
- Character
- mount / unmount
- character hands not closing when attaching weapons
- image export doesnt support render to texture
- Implement openglsettings in settings dialog
- NPC's not holding weapons (not possible with just client data?)
- Tidy code
- tidy all old WMV Code
- remove c-style code
- Interpolation types not implemented / tested.
Expansion - Vanilla
- not all animations appear in list, appear to be missing variations
- particles / ribbons not implemented yet
- texture animations not implemented yet
Expansion - WOTLK
- texture animations dont appear to work / show
- texture transparencies dont appear to be correct - e.g boar
Expansion - BFA
- character tabards - additional tiers not implemented yet.
Expansion - DF/TWW
- Feature partity with BFA
Future Ideas
- chaining animations / timed sequences
- animate camera
- items filterable by sub-type, e.g cloth, leather, sword, axe
- lighting
- Spell effects
- npcs, items, models, filterable by expansion
- ability to load individual items
- video exporters
- replace opengl with higher level engine, e.g ogre3d.
