WMW Midnight 0.1

WMW Midnight Version 0.1

✨ Highlights

• Runs on current retail WoW (patch 12.x). Reads the modern game database
  format end-to-end, so today's races, models, items and customizations load.
• Import your character from the Armory. Paste a character link and the viewer
  rebuilds its race, appearance and gear — no account login or manual setup.
• Correct multi-texture rendering. Cosmic capes, glowing orbs and other layered
  materials now display properly instead of rendering solid white.
• One-click installer and a new "Midnight" identity (name, icon, splash).

Added

• Armory character import — load a character's race, appearance and equipment
  straight from a Battle.net Armory link.
• Windows installer — guided setup with Start-menu and optional desktop
  shortcuts and a clean uninstaller; no administrator rights required.

Changed / Improved

• Current retail WoW support (12.x) via the modern WDC5 database format with
  schema-driven loading.
• Character customization — skin tones, faces, hair, geosets, equipment, and
  colour swatches shown directly in the picker.
• Rendering — M2 multi-texture combiner shaders for correct layered materials
  (capes, orbs, glow effects), while keeping the classic lighting pipeline.
• Model loading — better resolution of non-standard model paths; animation
  names are now populated.
• Rebranded to "WoW Model Viewer Midnight" — new application name, icon and
  splash screen.
• Removed the old built-in auto-updater.

Fixed

• Blank or missing character faces.
• Crashes while changing character customization across several races.
• A memory leak that could exhaust memory and crash after switching between many
  models in one session.
• Assorted stability fixes around model switching, animation and particles.

Notes

• On first run, point the viewer at your World of Warcraft Data folder
  (Settings → General → Game Folder).
• 32-bit build for Windows.
