wow_login_messages

Implementation of the network protocol used between World of Warcraft authentication/login servers and clients for game versions 1.0.0 (Vanilla) to 3.3.5 (Wrath of the Lich King). See the WoWDev Login page for details.

Usage

Add the following to your Cargo.toml:

toml [dependencies] wow_login_messages = { version = "0.1" }

Or add it with cargo edit: bash cargo add wow_login_messages

And then check out the docs.

Design Decisions

Types have been named the ugly CMD_SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE way because that's what other (mostly C++) emulators call them. This makes it significantly easier to search through other emulators or other documentation.

Other Work

• vMaNGOS (C++) and MaNGOS derivatives in general have a relatively complete list of messages for popular versions, but they are not available as a library.
• Ember (C++) has all messages for 1.12, although some work will probably be required in order to use it as a standalone library.
• Shadowburn (Erlang) has messages for 1.12, although they are not in the form of a library.
• gophercraft (Go) seems to have most messages in a library format.
