Application Feature Support

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/TBC

• 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/SL/DF/TWW

• character tabards - additional tiers not implemented yet.

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
• replace opengl with higher level engine, e.g ogre3d.
