Class WMORootShadowlandsToDragonflight
A WMO root file for one client version. The root lists the object's shared data — materials and textures, doodad (M2) sets and placements, portals, lights, fog, culling volumes and the per-group table — while the 3D geometry lives in the separate group files (see WMOGroup). An instance read from a client file rewrites byte-for-byte until modified. See https://wowdev.wiki/WMO.

public WMORootShadowlandsToDragonflight(WMORootShadowlandsToDragonflight other)Parameters
Properties
AmbientBoxVolumes
Box ambient volumes (MBVD, 8.3+); read only when MAVG/MAVD is present.
public Vector<AmbientBoxVolume> AmbientBoxVolumes { get; }Property Value
AmbientVolumes
Ambient volumes (MAVD, 8.3+), overriding the header ambient color inside their radius.
public Vector<AmbientVolume> AmbientVolumes { get; }Property Value
ConvexVolumePlanes
Convex volume planes (MCVP); transports mostly.
public Vector<C4Plane> ConvexVolumePlanes { get; }Property Value
DetailDoodads
Detail (ground-effect) doodad layers (MDDL, 9.0+); variable-length RLE layout, kept opaque.
public ChunkBlob DetailDoodads { get; set; }Property Value
DoodadColorMults
Per-doodad color multipliers (MDDI, 8.3+), applied to the MODD color.
public Vector<float> DoodadColorMults { get; }Property Value
DoodadDefs
Doodad placements (MODD).
public Vector<SmoDoodadDef> DoodadDefs { get; }Property Value
DoodadFdids
Doodad FileDataIDs (MODI, 8.1+; replaces doodad_names).
public Vector<uint> DoodadFdids { get; }Property Value
DoodadSets
Doodad sets (MODS).
public Vector<SmoDoodadSet> DoodadSets { get; }Property Value
FogExtras
Fog extra data (MFED, 9.0+); same count as MFOG.
public Vector<FogExtra> FogExtras { get; }Property Value
Fogs
Fog volumes (MFOG).
public Vector<SmoFog> Fogs { get; }Property Value
GlobalAmbientVolumes
Global ambient volumes (MAVG, 8.3+); position and radii are zero, selected by doodad set.
public Vector<AmbientVolume> GlobalAmbientVolumes { get; }Property Value
GroupFdids
Group file FileDataIDs (GFID, Legion+), in group order; repeated per LOD level for LOD WMOs.
public Vector<uint> GroupFdids { get; }Property Value
GroupInfos
Per-group info (MOGI).
public Vector<SmoGroupInfo> GroupInfos { get; }Property Value
GroupInfos2
Group info v2 (MGI2, 9.0+); same count as MOGI, overrides LOD selection.
public Vector<GroupInfo2> GroupInfos2 { get; }Property Value
GroupNames
Group names (MOGN), referenced by byte offset.
public StringBlock GroupNames { get; set; }Property Value
Header
The root header (MOHD).
public SmoHeader Header { get; set; }Property Value
LightExtensions
Directional-gradient light extensions (MOLV, 9.1+); entries reference lights by index.
public Vector<LightExtension> LightExtensions { get; }Property Value
Lights
Lights (MOLT).
public Vector<SmoLight> Lights { get; }Property Value
Materials
Materials (MOMT).
public Vector<SmoMaterial> Materials { get; }Property Value
Momx
MOMX (11.x, undocumented purpose); preserved opaque.
public ChunkBlob Momx { get; set; }Property Value
Mver
The WMO format version; 17 for every supported client.
public uint Mver { get; set; }Property Value
NewLights
Dynamic lights (MNLD, 9.0+): torch fires, window light projection and the like.
public Vector<NewLight> NewLights { get; }Property Value
ParticulateVolumes
Particulate volume data (MPVD, 8.3+); undocumented layout, kept opaque.
public ChunkBlob ParticulateVolumes { get; set; }Property Value
PortalRefs
Portal references from groups (MOPR).
public Vector<SmoPortalRef> PortalRefs { get; }Property Value
PortalVertices
Portal vertices (MOPV).
public Vector<C3Vector> PortalVertices { get; }Property Value
Portals
Portals (MOPT).
public Vector<SmoPortal> Portals { get; }Property Value
SkyboxFdid
Skybox FileDataID (MOSI, 8.1+).
public Vector<uint> SkyboxFdid { get; }Property Value
SkyboxName
Skybox filename (MOSB); raw bytes — files pad it to 4-byte alignment. skybox_fdid (MOSI, 8.1+) functionally replaces it, but the chunk never left the corpus: a 9.2.7 client survey (2026-08-08) found MOSB in 5404 of 8148 roots — always empty, never alongside MOSI — so it stays on every version as the no-skybox marker exporters still emit.
public ChunkBlob SkyboxName { get; set; }Property Value
UvAnimations
Texture-coordinate translation animations (MOUV, 7.3+), one per material.
public Vector<UvAnimation> UvAnimations { get; }Property Value
VisibleBlockVertices
Visible block vertices (MOVV).
public Vector<C3Vector> VisibleBlockVertices { get; }Property Value
VisibleBlocks
Visible blocks (MOVB).
public Vector<SmoVisibleBlock> VisibleBlocks { get; }Property Value
Methods
Dispose()
Release the native object now. Optional: the finalizer releases it on
collection anyway - dispose (or using) when you want native memory back
promptly.
public override void Dispose()EnsureValid()
Validate and raise on the first error instead of returning a report — the assert-style face of validate().
public void EnsureValid()Read(byte[])
Deserialize file bytes into this entity, replacing its contents. Unmodeled chunks are preserved so an unmodified entity rewrites byte-for-byte.
public void Read(byte[] data)Parameters
databyte[]the file bytes
Validate()
Check the logical integrity contracts this file must satisfy to LOAD in the client — companion-chunk counts, index ranges, flag/presence coherence — which write() deliberately never enforces. Call it before writing when you want to know the result will load. A file read from a client and left unmodified reports no errors; warnings mark states real client files ship.
public ValidationReport Validate()Returns
- ValidationReport
every violated contract, in member order
Write()
Serialize this entity.
public byte[] Write()Returns
- byte[]
the file bytes
