Messing around with parsing WoW file formats for educational purposes. Built from the ground up, but with lots of copy pasta from older projects (noted in thanks paragraph).
Built for (latest) World of Warcraft files. No backwards compatibility with anything older than current retail version.
If you have World of Warcraft (7.3.5 or higher) fully installed you can use your installed data instead of falling back to downloading stuff. To set this up, simply change the basedir setting in (executable).config to the directory that contains WoW.exe.

Cuts compiled minimaps into Google Maps/Leaflet compatible tilesets.
