WindTools Scripts

Here are some scripts used in development of ElvUI_WindTools.

CheckGlobals

Analyse the global variables using. (Based on FindGlobals.)

MergeLocales

Update the localization strings that managed by AceLocale-3.0.

MapOverlay

Builds the fog-of-war texture list used by ElvUI_WindTools world map reveal.

Export WorldMapOverlay and WorldMapOverlayTile from the client (wow.export writes semicolon-separated CSV). The older comma-separated dump from wow.tools still works. The reader uses ; when the header contains it, and it only needs the art id, texture size, offsets, tile row, tile column, file id, and overlay id. Rows with a texture width or height of 0 are skipped.

Put each client’s pair of CSV files in its own folder:

  • MapOverlay/retail/WorldMapOverlay.csv and WorldMapOverlayTile.csv
  • MapOverlay/forever/WorldMapOverlay.csv and WorldMapOverlayTile.csv

config.retail.json and config.forever.json write the addon files. Those output paths are relative to MapOverlay, and they expect ElvUI_WindTools to sit next to this repo. Run the commands from MapOverlay. Go 1.21 or newer is required (go.mod is in this folder).

go run . config.retail.json
go run . config.forever.json

Retail writes ElvUI_WindTools/Modules/Maps/WorldMapReveal_Retail.lua. That file returns immediately on WoW Forever. Forever writes WorldMapReveal_Forever.lua, which returns immediately on retail. WorldMap.lua reads W.WorldMapRevealDatabase from whichever file ran.

output_style in the config picks the header:

  • retail sets the table only when E.Forever is false
  • forever sets the table only when E.Forever is true
  • omit it to write a plain local RevealDatabase = { ... } table

go run . with no argument uses config.json, reads worldmapoverlay.csv and worldmapoverlaytile.csv in this folder, and writes that plain table to data.lua. build.bat builds GetMapOverlay.exe, which takes the same optional config path (GetMapOverlay.exe config.retail.json).
