Classes

WDL

A map's low-resolution heightmap file, abstract over the client version — the background mountain silhouettes. Construct the concrete version with WDL.for_version(expansion), then read()/write(); the per-version WDL* classes are subclasses. See https://wowdev.wiki/WDL.

WDL.Era

The typed era factories: one method per expansion, each returning the concrete range class covering it — the compile-time twin of ForVersion.

WDLBfa

A map's low-resolution heightmap file for one client version: the 64x64 tile offset table, one 17x17+16x16 int16 heightmap (and hole mask) per present tile, the low-resolution object placements of the era, and the Shadowlands+ sky scenes. Tile chunks pair by ordinal — the i-th heightmap belongs to the i-th nonzero tileOffsets slot (row-major); the offsets themselves are recomputed on every write, so only the nonzero pattern is authored data. An instance read from a client file rewrites byte-for-byte until modified. See https://wowdev.wiki/WDL.

WDLLegion

A map's low-resolution heightmap file for one client version: the 64x64 tile offset table, one 17x17+16x16 int16 heightmap (and hole mask) per present tile, the low-resolution object placements of the era, and the Shadowlands+ sky scenes. Tile chunks pair by ordinal — the i-th heightmap belongs to the i-th nonzero tileOffsets slot (row-major); the offsets themselves are recomputed on every write, so only the nonzero pattern is authored data.
