About

World of Warcraft is a 2004 MMORPG developed by Blizzard Entertainment, set in the Warcraft fantasy universe about four years after Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne; it has since received numerous major expansions. PseuWoW is a from-scratch client/server reimplementation of World of Warcraft, built with CMake, that requires either direct access to the original game's MPQ data archives or data extracted from them using the project's own stuffextract tool. The project is archived and no longer maintained.

Getting started

Build it with CMake, then rename and edit the included template configuration files before first run; either link an existing Data folder from your own copy of the game, or use the bundled extraction tool to pull data from the game's archive files first.

Requires original assets. Requires either MPQ files from the original game or extracted data using the stuffextract tool.

Additional notes

Trivia: Includes a bundled model viewer debugging tool that can browse models and textures extracted from the game's MPQ archives, though it's described as not particularly user-friendly.
