wow_messages

World of Warcraft authentication + game server message definitions for Rust. Auto generated from the wowm language found in wow_message_parser/wowm.

The project is split into the subdirectories:

• wow_login_messages: Rust library for the authentication server. On crates.io.
• wow_message_parser: The parser, codegen and definitions that creates the libraries. Used to build wow_login_messages, wow_world_messages and wowm_language.
• wow_world_messages: Rust library for the world server for WoW version 1.x.y.
• wow_world_base: Rust library that provides the basic types and enums such as Class, Race and Gender for wow_world_messages and others. On crates.io.
• wow_items: Rust library that contains an array of all Items. Uses the Item type from wow_world_base. On crates.io.
• wow_spells: Rust library that contains an array of all Spells. Uses the Spell type from wow_world_base. On crates.io.
• wowm_language: mdbook of language specification. Hosted at www.gtker.com/wow_messages.
• intermediate_representation.json: contains a machine readable version of the wowm files.
• intermediate_representation_schema.json: a JSON type def schema for the intermediate_representation.json.
• examples Example servers and clients that will work with 1.12, 2.4.3 and 3.3.5 clients.

Run cargo gen && cargo test to "compile" all libraries and ensure that there are no issues.

Run cargo overwrite to overwrite the current regression test files with new output.

The following environment variables can be used with the parser:

• WOWM_WIRESHARK: must point to a valid epan/dissectors folder in a wireshark repo. packet-woww.c and packet-wow.c will then be modified with the auto generated Wireshark messages.
• WOWM_SQLITE_DB_PATH: wow_db_sqlite directory. Writes the types and functions for wow_world_base extended.
• WOWM_PRINT_TEST_ERRORS: when set errors testing that the application exists with a message will print error messages.
• WOWM_ONLY_PRINT_NAME_OF_SINGLE_MESSAGE: when set the reporting output will be the first unimplemented message without a newline character. This is intended for quickly implementing many messages in quick succession.

Additional libraries

• wow_messages_python, message definitions in a Python library.
