Addon: Art

Art is the high-resolution map half of High Fidelity World Map. It is large and changes only when the art is regenerated.

Folder HighFidelityWorldMap_Art_Forever
TOC HighFidelityWorldMap_Art_Forever.toc
CurseForge High Fidelity World Map Art
Source src/addon/art/
Release tag art-v*
Depends on Client (Dependencies: HighFidelityWorldMap)

What it contains

  • The stitched high-resolution maps in WorldMap/: AzerothHD, EasternKingdomsHD, KalimdorHD.
  • WorldMap/Original/: the unpainted stitch behind the in-game "Original" background.

It contains no Lua code, settings or UI. The Client reads these tiles through their file paths.

Why it is separate

The tiles are several GB and only change when the art is regenerated. Keeping them out of the Client means a code fix does not re-download the whole map set.

Installing

Install it alongside the Client in Interface/AddOns/. It needs the Client to be installed, because the TOC declares it as a dependency.

Releasing (maintainers)

Only release when the art itself changes. Push an art-v* tag. release-addon-art.yml runs the world map asset generation, stamps the TOC version, and packages the addon. publish-art-release-curseforge.yml uploads it to CurseForge.
