From 2cca8f4b53065bb0534a0e3c0524f319812d4f4b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: MarcelineVQ Date: Sat, 28 Feb 2026 14:07:53 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Add assetfix, transmogfix, minimapicons modules; fix assetfix disk-vs-MPQ priority Assetfix: hook CheckFileExistence to serve loose Data\ files. The original flags|1 approach failed because game paths contain backslashes, causing CheckFileExistence to skip BuildFilePath and check the raw path (no Data\ prefix). Fix: write the correct Data\-prefixed disk path to the output buffer directly and return 1, bypassing the original function for hash map hits. This preserves hook chaining (filename argument is never transformed). Also adds transmogfix (transmog update coalescing), minimapicons (stub), new build options for all three modules, mutex-based multi-DLL safety, embed .skin data into .m2 models, and various module improvements. --- build.zig | 29 +- .../CLAUDE_PROPER_OBJECT_REGISTRATION_PLAN.md | 169 ++ docs/DATA_FLOW_MAP.md | 397 +++ docs/DATA_STRUCTURES.md | 757 ++++++ docs/HOOKING_QUICK_REFERENCE.md | 226 ++ docs/HOOK_ADDRESS_FIXES.md | 102 + docs/HOOK_SPECIFICATIONS.md | 685 +++++ docs/M2_MODEL_SYSTEM.md | 478 ++++ docs/MASK_OUTLINE_DESIGN.md | 120 + docs/RENDER_ARCHITECTURE.md | 756 ++++++ docs/RENDER_PIPELINE_ANALYSIS.md | 931 +++++++ docs/RESEARCH_LOG.md | 2268 +++++++++++++++++ docs/SHADER_DESIGN.md | 674 +++++ docs/SHADER_OUTLINE_RESEARCH.md | 980 +++++++ docs/outline-rendering-research.md | 468 ++++ src/assetfix/assetfix.zig | 355 +++ src/combatlog/combatlog.zig | 40 +- src/interact/interact.zig | 43 +- src/main.zig | 40 +- src/markers/MPQ_FILESYSTEM_RESEARCH.md | 692 +++++ src/markers/RESEARCH.md | 80 +- src/markers/assets/Spells/Raid_UI_FX_Cyan.m2 | Bin 32586 -> 41976 bytes .../assets/Spells/Raid_UI_FX_Cyan00.skin | Bin 9552 -> 0 bytes src/markers/assets/Spells/Raid_UI_FX_Green.m2 | Bin 32602 -> 41976 bytes .../assets/Spells/Raid_UI_FX_Green00.skin | Bin 9552 -> 0 bytes .../assets/Spells/Raid_UI_FX_Purple.m2 | Bin 32490 -> 41864 bytes .../assets/Spells/Raid_UI_FX_Purple00.skin | Bin 9552 -> 0 bytes src/markers/assets/Spells/Raid_UI_FX_Red.m2 | Bin 32466 -> 41864 bytes .../assets/Spells/Raid_UI_FX_Red00.skin | Bin 9552 -> 0 bytes .../assets/Spells/Raid_UI_FX_Yellow.m2 | Bin 32598 -> 41976 bytes .../assets/Spells/Raid_UI_FX_Yellow00.skin | Bin 9552 -> 0 bytes src/markers/markers.zig | 45 +- src/minimapicons/minimapicons.zig | 55 + src/outline/api.zig | 45 +- src/screenshot/screenshot.zig | 38 +- src/transmogfix/transmogfix.zig | 896 +++++++ 36 files changed, 11335 insertions(+), 34 deletions(-) create mode 100644 docs/CLAUDE_PROPER_OBJECT_REGISTRATION_PLAN.md create mode 100644 docs/DATA_FLOW_MAP.md create mode 100644 docs/DATA_STRUCTURES.md create mode 100644 docs/HOOKING_QUICK_REFERENCE.md create mode 100644 docs/HOOK_ADDRESS_FIXES.md create mode 100644 docs/HOOK_SPECIFICATIONS.md create mode 100644 docs/M2_MODEL_SYSTEM.md create mode 100644 docs/MASK_OUTLINE_DESIGN.md create mode 100644 docs/RENDER_ARCHITECTURE.md create mode 100644 docs/RENDER_PIPELINE_ANALYSIS.md create mode 100644 docs/RESEARCH_LOG.md create mode 100644 docs/SHADER_DESIGN.md create mode 100644 docs/SHADER_OUTLINE_RESEARCH.md create mode 100644 docs/outline-rendering-research.md create mode 100644 src/assetfix/assetfix.zig create mode 100644 src/markers/MPQ_FILESYSTEM_RESEARCH.md delete mode 100644 src/markers/assets/Spells/Raid_UI_FX_Cyan00.skin delete mode 100644 src/markers/assets/Spells/Raid_UI_FX_Green00.skin delete mode 100644 src/markers/assets/Spells/Raid_UI_FX_Purple00.skin delete mode 100644 src/markers/assets/Spells/Raid_UI_FX_Red00.skin delete mode 100644 src/markers/assets/Spells/Raid_UI_FX_Yellow00.skin create mode 100644 src/minimapicons/minimapicons.zig create mode 100644 src/transmogfix/transmogfix.zig diff --git a/build.zig b/build.zig index b539b36..514e4c2 100644 --- a/build.zig +++ b/build.zig @@ -15,6 +15,9 @@ pub fn build(b: *std.Build) void { const enable_markers = b.option(bool, "markers", "Enable markers module") orelse true;

The existing 3-pass stencil code is proof-of-concept, not a constraint. Efficiency and cleanliness matter more than preserving existing code. + +## The Core Problem + +The depth buffer doesn't distinguish "wall pixel" from "player pixel." After a frame is rendered, there's no way to know which depth values came from static geometry vs units. This makes pure post-process approaches (mask + edge detection in EndScene) unable to satisfy requirements 1 and 2 simultaneously: + +- If you depth-test the mask render against the full depth buffer → walls occlude (✓) but players also occlude (✗) +- If you skip depth testing → players don't occlude (✓) but walls also don't occlude (✗) +- If you composite in EndScene after all rendering → outlines are on top of everything, including walls (✗) + +**You need depth information from BEFORE players/NPCs have rendered, but AFTER terrain/WMOs have rendered.** This is only available at a specific point during the frame — when M2 model batches begin processing. + +## Approach Analysis + +### Approach A: 3-Pass Stencil with Batch Reordering (Current) + +**How it satisfies the requirements:** + +1. **Batch reordering** moves outline targets to render first in the M2 batch list. At that point, only terrain + WMO depth exists in the depth buffer. The outline pass (pass 2) uses `ZENABLE=TRUE` → terrain/WMOs occlude the outline. ✓ +2. **Stencil bit** (`STENCIL_BIT_OUTLINE=0x02`) is written where outline pixels are drawn. Subsequent player/NPC batches test against this bit and fail where outline exists → players can't paint over outlines. ✓ +3. **Dead players** use `ZENABLE=FALSE` in pass 2 → outline ignores all depth → visible through walls. ✓ + +**Downsides:** +- 3 DIP calls per outline target (stencil mark + outline + normal redraw) +- Heavy state save/restore (~15 render states + shader constants per outline) +- Custom bone-transform VS that duplicates the game's shader logic +- Requires D24S8 stencil buffer (force-reset if not present) +- Custom vertex declaration must match the game's exact M2 vertex format + +**Key structural requirement:** Batch reordering is essential. Without it, other M2 models (including players) would have their depth in the buffer when the outline renders, causing them to occlude it. WMOs and terrain are rendered in separate systems before CM2SceneRenderDraw, so their depth is naturally present. + +### Approach B: Mask + Post-Process Edge Detection + +**Cannot satisfy all requirements.** The mask is rendered during DIP (with depth test), but: +- The depth buffer at DIP time contains both wall depth AND any previously-rendered player depth +- Without batch reordering, player depth may already be present → players occlude mask pixels +- With batch reordering, the mask captures the right silhouette, but compositing in EndScene draws OVER walls that rendered later + +The composite happens at the wrong time — after everything has rendered, including walls that should occlude. + +**Could work if combined with batch reordering** and a depth-aware composite, but this reintroduces the batch reordering requirement and adds render target + fullscreen quad overhead on top. + +### Approach C: Depth Pre-Copy + Mask + +Copy the depth buffer at the start of M2 rendering (after terrain/WMOs, before players), use that copy for the mask depth test, composite in EndScene. + +**Problem:** D3D9 doesn't support copying depth buffers to textures natively. Would need `StretchRect` or `GetRenderTargetData` which may not work for depth surfaces, or a depth-resolve shader pass, which is complex and platform-dependent (Wine/DXVK compatibility unknown). + +### Approach D: Two-Pass Stencil (Optimized Current) + +Same core idea as Approach A but optimized: + +1. **Pass 1 (stencil + outline):** Set stencil to mark body. Draw the expanded outline geometry with custom VS, using stencil to exclude body pixels. Write `STENCIL_BIT_OUTLINE` where outline draws. +2. **Pass 2 (normal):** Draw model normally (game's original state). This is the draw that would have happened anyway — just done after the outline. + +Wait — this is still 3 DIP calls (stencil mark needs the normal geometry first). The passes can't easily be collapsed because the stencil mark (body silhouette) must exist before the outline can exclude it. + +### Approach E: Inverted Hull with Game's Depth (Refined Stencil) + +Same 3-pass stencil, but: +- **Use the game's own VS for pass 1 and 3** (no custom shader needed for stencil mark + normal draw) +- **Custom VS only for pass 2** (outline expansion) — this is the only pass that needs modified geometry +- **Minimize state changes** — only save/restore what we actually modify +- **Skip vertex declaration swap** if the game's declaration is compatible with our VS + +This is what the current code already does, just cleaned up. + +## Conclusion: Stencil + Batch Reordering is the Right Architecture + +Given the requirements, the 3-pass stencil with batch reordering is the only approach that works without exotic depth buffer tricks. The key properties it provides: + +1. **Outline renders when only static-world depth exists** (via batch reordering) → walls/terrain occlude ✓ +2. **Stencil bit prevents later units from overwriting outline** → players don't occlude ✓ +3. **Per-category depth disable** → dead player outlines through walls ✓ + +## Improvements to Implement + +The current code is a working proof-of-concept. These improvements make it robust and correct: + +### 1. Add ZWRITEENABLE=FALSE during outline pass (pass 2) + +The expanded outline vertices are slightly outside the model. If they write depth, they could incorrectly occlude things behind the model. Disabling depth writes during the outline pass prevents this. + +### 2. Add DEPTHBIAS save/restore + +The C++ reference saves/restores `D3DRS_DEPTHBIAS`. The Zig port doesn't. If the game sets a depth bias for the current model, we need to preserve it. + +### 3. Add stream source stride check + +Before using the custom outline VS (which expects the GPU-skinned M2 vertex format: 48 bytes with bone weights/indices), verify the vertex stream stride matches. If the game is using CPU-skinned vertices (32 bytes, no bone data), skip the outline for that draw call to avoid reading garbage. + +### 4. Verify vertex declaration compatibility + +The custom VS declares: Position(FLOAT3)@0, BlendWeight(D3DCOLOR)@12, BlendIndices(D3DCOLOR)@16, Normal(FLOAT3)@20. This matches the GPU-skinned M2 format. For safety, we could check the current stream source stride in DIP before committing to the outline pass. + +### 5. Handle device lost gracefully + +The Reset hook releases shaders. Ensure `shaders_attempted` is reset so they're recreated on next use. + +### 6. Consider vs_3_0 upgrade + +The current VS uses vs_2_0. The game supports ps_3_0 (confirmed 0xFFFF0300), so vs_3_0 is available. Benefits: better precision for screen-space normal calculation, no instruction count limit. However vs_2_0 works and is simpler — this is optional. + +## Implementation Order + +1. Update `types.zig` — add any missing D3D9 constants +2. Update `d3d9_hook.zig` — add ZWRITEENABLE, DEPTHBIAS, stride check +3. Verify `model_hook.zig` — batch reordering and stencil flags are correct +4. Build and verify compilation +5.

Harder to make consistent across distances. + +### Recommendation + +**Option 1 (Model Center Scaling) is more suitable because:** +1. Controllable world-space thickness +2. Works with existing EndScene replay infrastructure +3. Simpler implementation (single shader modification) +4. Consistent outline regardless of distance + +**Option 3 (Post-Process) would require:** +1. Additional render target creation +2. Multiple rendering passes +3. New shader infrastructure +4. Solving D3D9 depth buffer limitations + +--- + +## Coordinate Space Discovery (2024-12) + +### Key Finding: Vertices are in MODEL SPACE, not World Space + +From vertex buffer analysis during draw call caching: + +``` +Model center (from vertex centroid): 0.03, -0.00, 2.00 +``` + +This is **model-local coordinates** - the 2.0 Z value is approximately chest height on a humanoid character. The vertices are NOT pre-transformed to world space. + +### Shader Constants Contain World Transform Data + +``` +c9: -0.000, -1000.000, 500.000, -0.000 <- WORLD POSITION! +c10-c15: varying values per frame <- Bone matrices / animation +``` + +The c9 values (-1000, 500) are typical WoW world coordinates. This confirms: +- **c2-c7**: View-projection transform (aspect ratio, FOV, depth) +- **c8-c9**: World position / transform data +- **c10-c15**: Bone matrices (change with animation) + +### Transform Chain + +WoW's vertex shader performs: +``` +Model Space → (bone transforms c10-c15) → (world offset c8-c9) → (view-proj c2-c7) → Clip Space +``` + +### Why Custom Shader Failed + +The custom shader only implemented the last stage: +```hlsl +mul oPos.x, r0.x, c2.x // View-proj X +mul oPos.y, r0.y, c3.y // View-proj Y +``` + +This skipped the world positioning, causing the model to render at screen origin (top-down view on monitor). + +### Current Status + +Using WoW's original shader with all cached constants renders the silhouette correctly positioned over the corpse, but **without scaling** (no outline effect yet). + +### Scaling Options Going Forward + +**Option A: Scaled Vertex Buffer Copy** +1. Create a dynamic vertex buffer during caching +2. Copy vertices with positions scaled from model-space center +3. Use scaled VB for outline pass, original VB for normal render +4. Pro: Works with WoW's full transform chain +5. Con: Memory overhead, VB creation per frame + +**Option B: Modify Cached Vertex Data In-Place** +1. Lock original VB and scale positions temporarily +2. Render outline pass +3. Restore original positions +4. Pro: No extra memory +5. Con: May cause visual glitches if timing is wrong + +**Option C: Inject Scale into Bone Matrices** +1. Identify which constants are bone matrices (c10-c15?) +2. Multiply bone matrices by scale factor +3. Pro: Cleaner than VB modification +4. Con: Requires understanding bone matrix layout + +**Option D: Post-Process Edge Detection** +1. Render corpse to stencil/depth buffer +2. Detect edges via pixel shader +3. Pro: True edge-only outline +4. Con: Complex, D3D9 limitations + +--- + +## Implementation Progress: Scaled Vertex Buffer Approach (2024-12) [SUPERSEDED] + +> **Note:** This approach was superseded by the shader-based stencil system. +> Key issues: Scaled VB didn't handle bone animations, created artifacts. +> See "Working Implementation: Shader-Based Outline System" for the final solution. + +### Lessons Learned + +1. **Stencil IS available**: WoW uses D3DFMT_D24X8 (no stencil), but we can create our own D3DFMT_D24S8 surface and swap it in during EndScene. + +2. **Shader-based expansion is superior**: Instead of pre-scaling vertex buffers: + - Custom vertex shader expands along normals in world space + - Properly handles bone animations via same bone transform as WoW + - No need to cache/create scaled VBs + +3. **Full bone transform required**: WoW's M2 models use skeletal animation. Any outline expansion must happen AFTER bone transforms, not in model space. + +--- + +## Critical Discovery: Depth Buffer Cleared at EndScene (2024-12) + +### Problem + +When rendering corpse body in EndScene with depth testing enabled: +- `D3DCMP_LESSEQUAL`: Body **never** renders (fails everywhere) +- `D3DCMP_GREATEREQUAL`: Body **always** renders (passes everywhere) +- `D3DCMP_ALWAYS`: Body renders (as expected) + +### Analysis + +This behavior indicates the depth buffer is cleared to **0 (near plane)** before EndScene: +- If depth buffer = 0 everywhere: + - Body depth > 0, so LESSEQUAL (body ≤ 0) fails + - Body depth > 0, so GREATEREQUAL (body ≥ 0) passes + - GREATER (body > 0) also passes + +### Implications + +1. **Cannot use depth buffer at EndScene** for wall occlusion testing +2. **Scene depth information is lost** by the time EndScene is called +3. **Depth bias has no effect** - buffer is all zeros regardless of bias value + +### The Fundamental Conflict + +Requirements: +1. Silhouette visible through walls → must render AFTER walls (EndScene) +2. Body covers silhouette → body must render AFTER silhouette +3. Walls occlude body → body must use depth test against walls + +But at EndScene, wall depth info is gone. We cannot satisfy all three requirements. + +### Attempted Solutions + +| Approach | Result | +|----------|--------| +| EndScene: silhouette (depth off) + body (depth on) | Body fails depth test everywhere | +| EndScene: silhouette (GREATER) | Shows everywhere (buffer is 0) | +| Depth bias to push silhouette forward | No effect (buffer is 0) | +| Let body render in main pass, silhouette in EndScene | Silhouette covers body | + +### Potential Solutions + +1. **Find hook point after walls but before depth clear** - Need to identify where WoW clears depth +2. **Render silhouette in DIP hook** - But then walls cover silhouette (no through-wall) +3. **Accept visual compromise** - Semi-transparent outline that shows over body slightly + +### Resolution + +The stencil buffer solved this problem: +1. Mark body pixels in stencil (pass 1) - no color write +2. Render dark halo/outline where stencil ≠ body (pass 2) - creates outline effect +3. Depth buffer not needed - stencil provides the "body vs outline" distinction + +See "Working Implementation: Shader-Based Outline System" below for details. + +--- + +## Working Implementation: Shader-Based Outline System (2024-12) + +### Overview + +The final working system uses a custom vertex shader that performs full bone transforms, combined with stencil-based rendering in EndScene for proper layering and through-wall visibility. + +### Architecture + +``` +Frame Render Order: +1. WoW renders world geometry (terrain, walls, objects) +2. DrawIndexedPrimitive hook detects corpse/target/raid-marked models +3. Draw calls are cached with full D3D state +4. EndScene hook replays cached draws with stencil-based outline rendering +``` + +### Key Components + +#### 1. Draw Call Caching (CacheCorpseDrawCall) + +When a tracked model is detected during rendering, we cache: +- Primitive parameters (type, indices, vertex count) +- Vertex buffer, index buffer, vertex declaration +- Vertex shader and all 256 VS constants (bone matrices!) +- Pixel shader and PS constants +- Transforms (world, view, projection) +- Texture state +- Model category (TARGET, RAID_MARKED, DEAD_PLAYER) +- Calculated outline thickness based on distance + +#### 2. WoW M2 Vertex Format + +WoW's character models use this vertex layout: +``` +Offset 0x00: POSITION (float3) - Local vertex position +Offset 0x0C: BLENDWEIGHT (D3DCOLOR) - 4 bone weights (normalized 0-255) +Offset 0x10: BLENDINDICES (D3DCOLOR) - 4 bone indices (0-255) +Offset 0x14: NORMAL (float3) - Vertex normal +``` + +D3DCOLOR stores 4 bytes as ARGB (0xAARRGGBB), but when read as blend weights/indices: +- Component order in shader is .zyxw (BGRA swizzle) +- Bone weights are normalized (0-255 → 0.0-1.0) +- Bone indices are raw byte values + +#### 3. Bone Matrix Storage + +WoW stores bone matrices in vertex shader constants starting at c31: +- Each bone uses 3 consecutive float4 constants (4x3 matrix rows) +- Bone N is at: c[N*3 + 31], c[N*3 + 32], c[N*3 + 33] +- To convert bone index to constant offset: index * 765 (when indices are 0-1 normalized) + +Example: Bone index 0 → constants c31, c32, c33 + Bone index 1 → constants c34, c35, c36 + +#### 4. Custom Outline Vertex Shader + +The shader performs full skeletal animation then expands along normals: + +```asm +vs_2_0 +dcl_position v0 ; position (float3) +dcl_blendweight v2 ; blend weights (D3DCOLOR normalized) +dcl_blendindices v3 ; blend indices (D3DCOLOR) +dcl_normal v1 ; normal (float3) + +; Convert blend indices to bone constant offsets +; v3 components are 0-1 (D3DCOLOR normalized), multiply by 765 to get bone index * 3 +; WoW uses zyxw swizzle order (BGRA) +mul r0.xyz, v3.zyxw, c251.x ; indices * 765 +mova a0.xyz, r0 ; move to address register for indexed access + +; First bone row (transforms to get world X) +mul r0, v2.y, c[a0.y + 31] +mad r0, c[a0.x + 31], v2.z, r0 +mad r0, c[a0.z + 31], v2.x, r0 +dp3 r3.x, r0, v1 ; normal.x after bone transform +dp4 r4.x, r0, v0 ; position.x after bone transform + +; Second bone row (world Y) +mul r1, v2.y, c[a0.y + 32] +mad r1, c[a0.x + 32], v2.z, r1 +mad r1, c[a0.z + 32], v2.x, r1 +dp3 r3.y, r1, v1 ; normal.y +dp4 r4.y, r1, v0 ; position.y + +; Third bone row (world Z) +mul r2, v2.y, c[a0.y + 33] +mad r2, c[a0.x + 33], v2.z, r2 +mad r2, c[a0.z + 33], v2.x, r2 +dp3 r3.z, r2, v1 ; normal.z +dp4 r4.z, r2, v0 ; position.z + +; Now r4.xyz = world-space position, r3.xyz = world-space normal (unnormalized) +nrm r5.xyz, r3 ; normalize the normal + +; Expand position along normal for outline effect +mul r6.xyz, r5.xyz, c250.x ; normal * thickness (c250.x) +add r4.xyz, r4.xyz, r6.xyz ; position += normal_offset +mov r4.w, c251.y ; w = 1.0 + +; Apply view-projection matrix (c2-c5 in WoW's constants) +dp4 oPos.x, c2, r4 +dp4 oPos.y, c3, r4 +dp4 oPos.z, c4, r4 +dp4 oPos.w, c5, r4 +``` + +Shader constants: +- c0-c249: WoW's original constants (bone matrices, transforms, lighting) +- c250.x: Outline thickness (world units) +- c251: Helper constants (765.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0) + +The `mova` instruction is critical - it allows indexed access to bone matrix constants based on per-vertex bone indices. + +#### 5. Stencil-Based Rendering (EndScene) + +Three-pass rendering for proper outline effect: + +**Pass 1: Mark body in stencil buffer** +```cpp +SetRenderState(D3DRS_STENCILENABLE, TRUE); +SetRenderState(D3DRS_STENCILFUNC, D3DCMP_ALWAYS); +SetRenderState(D3DRS_STENCILPASS, D3DSTENCILOP_REPLACE); +SetRenderState(D3DRS_STENCILREF, 1); +SetRenderState(D3DRS_COLORWRITEENABLE, 0); // No color, stencil only +// Render body at original size → marks stencil = 1 where body is +``` + +**Pass 2: Dark halo (dead players only)** +```cpp +SetRenderState(D3DRS_STENCILFUNC, D3DCMP_NOTEQUAL); // Not where body is +SetRenderState(D3DRS_STENCILREF, 1); +SetRenderState(D3DRS_TEXTUREFACTOR, 0x80000000); // 50% alpha black +// Render with shader at 4x thickness → dark halo around body +``` + +**Pass 3: Bright outline (raid marks, targets)** +```cpp +SetRenderState(D3DRS_STENCILFUNC, D3DCMP_NOTEQUAL); +SetRenderState(D3DRS_STENCILREF, 1); +SetRenderState(D3DRS_TEXTUREFACTOR, outlineColor); // Per-model color +// Render with shader at normal thickness → colored outline +``` + +All passes use `D3DRS_ZENABLE = FALSE` for through-wall visibility. + +#### 6. Per-Category Outline Handling + +Three model categories with different visual treatment: + +| Category | Base Thickness | Min | Max | Effect | +|----------|---------------|-----|-----|--------| +| TARGET | 0.08 | 0.06 | 0.375 | White outline | +| RAID_MARKED | 0.05 | 0.04 | 0.375 | Colored outline (matches marker) | +| DEAD_PLAYER | 0.02 | 0.02 | 0.15 | Dark halo (4x thickness, 50% black) | + +Thickness scales with distance to maintain consistent screen-space size: +```cpp +float scale = distance / OUTLINE_REFERENCE_DISTANCE; // 20 yards reference +float thickness = baseThickness * scale; +// Then clamp to per-category min/max +``` + +Target has larger minimum than raid marks so it's more prominent at close range, but converges to same maximum at long range. + +#### 7.

Screen-Space Dilation (Valve/L4D Style) + +**How it works:** + +Render each target's silhouette as flat color to an offscreen render target (depth-tested against terrain for alive, no depth for dead). Then run a pixel shader that samples an NxN neighborhood — if any sample is "on", the pixel is outline. Subtract the original mask to get just the ring. Composite over backbuffer. + +```hlsl +// SM3.0 pixel shader — fixed-size box dilation +sampler2D SilhouetteTex; +float2 TexelSize; // (1.0/screenW, 1.0/screenH) + +float4 DilatePS(float2 uv : TEXCOORD0) : COLOR0 +{ + float hit = 0.0; + for (int y = -3; y <= 3; y++) { + for (int x = -3; x <= 3; x++) { + float2 offset = float2(x, y) * TexelSize; + hit = max(hit, tex2D(SilhouetteTex, uv + offset).r); + } + } + float original = tex2D(SilhouetteTex, uv).r; + float outline = hit - original; + return float4(OutlineColor.rgb, outline * OutlineColor.a); +} +``` + +For circular (non-square) outlines, add a distance check: + +```hlsl +if (length(float2(x, y)) <= OutlineRadius) { + hit = max(hit, tex2D(SilhouetteTex, uv + offset).r); +} +``` + +**Pros:** +- Perfectly uniform outline width regardless of mesh geometry +- Simple shaders (a single dilation pass is ~49 tex samples for 7x7) +- Proven D3D9 technique (Valve shipped this) + +**Cons:** +- Square corners at large radii (box kernel artifact) +- Cost grows as O(N^2) with outline width — impractical beyond ~8px +- Needs 2-3 render targets + +**Performance:** 49 texture samples per pixel at 1024x768 = ~38M samples. On modern hardware: effectively free (<1ms). On 2004-era hardware: 2-4ms. + +**Occlusion:** All 3 requirements satisfiable. The mask generation controls occlusion; the dilation is purely 2D. + +### 2. Jump Flood Algorithm (JFA) + +**How it works:** + +The JFA (Rong & Tan, 2006) computes an approximate 2D distance transform on the GPU using O(log N) pixel shader passes. This is the foundation of high-quality screen-space outlines in modern games. + +**Step 1 — Seed initialization:** +Render unit silhouettes into a binary mask. An init shader reads this mask: "on" pixels output their own UV coordinates, "off" pixels get a sentinel value (e.g., `(9999, 9999)`). Output format: RG16F (two channels for x,y coordinates). + +```hlsl +// Seed init PS +float4 SeedInitPS(float2 uv : TEXCOORD0) : COLOR0 +{ + float silhouette = tex2D(UnitMask, uv).r; + if (silhouette > 0.5) + return float4(uv.x, uv.y, 0, 1); + else + return float4(9999, 9999, 0, 0); +} +``` + +**Step 2 — JFA propagation (iterative):** +Execute `ceil(log2(maxOutlineRadius))` passes. For pass k, step size = `2^(N-k-1)` (starts large, halves each pass). Each pixel samples itself and 8 compass neighbors at the step offset (9 total samples in a 3x3 grid with large spacing). Keep the seed coordinate nearest to the current pixel. Ping-pong between two render targets. + +```hlsl +// JFA propagation PS +sampler2D CurrentJFA; +float2 TexelSize; +float StepSize; + +float4 JFAPassPS(float2 uv : TEXCOORD0) : COLOR0 +{ + float2 bestSeed = float2(9999, 9999); + float bestDist = 1e10; + + for (int dy = -1; dy <= 1; dy++) { + for (int dx = -1; dx <= 1; dx++) { + float2 sampleUV = uv + float2(dx, dy) * StepSize * TexelSize; + float2 candidate = tex2D(CurrentJFA, sampleUV).rg; + if (candidate.x < 9000.0) { + float d = length(candidate - uv); + if (d < bestDist) { + bestDist = d; + bestSeed = candidate; + } + } + } + } + return float4(bestSeed, 0, 1); +} +``` + +**Step 3 — Distance readout and outline generation:** +After all passes, each texel holds the UV of the nearest seed. Convert to pixel-space distance and threshold: + +```hlsl +float4 OutlinePS(float2 uv : TEXCOORD0) : COLOR0 +{ + float2 nearestSeed = tex2D(JFAResult, uv).rg; + float dist = length((nearestSeed - uv) / TexelSize); + float inSilhouette = tex2D(SilhouetteMask, uv).r; + + // Hard outline: + float outline = (dist < OutlineWidth && inSilhouette < 0.5) ? 1.0 : 0.0; + + // Or anti-aliased: + // float outline = smoothstep(OutlineWidth, OutlineWidth - 1.0, dist) * (1.0 - inSilhouette); + + return float4(OutlineColor.rgb, outline * OutlineColor.a); +} +``` + +**D3D9/SM3.0 compatibility:** Fully compatible. Each pass is a simple pixel shader with 9 texture samples and simple arithmetic. No gather, no integer bitops, no geometry/compute shaders required. Ping-pong between two textures is standard D3D9. The only requirement is that D3D9 does not allow reading and writing the same surface — alternate between two textures each pass. + +**Pros:** +- Exact circular distance field — perfectly round outlines at any width +- Anti-aliasable (smoothstep on the distance) +- Cost is O(log2(N)) passes — a 32px outline costs only 5 passes +- Enables soft glow, pulsing, gradient effects for free (just change threshold function) +- Nothing requires anything beyond SM2.0 + +**Cons:** +- More render target switches than dilation (5-10 passes vs 1) +- Needs two RG16F render targets (ping-pong) +- Slightly more implementation complexity +- Cannot use bilinear filtering on JFA output (it stores coordinates, not distances) + +**Performance:** 10 fullscreen passes at 9 samples each = 90M samples at 1024x768. On modern hardware: sub-millisecond. Can run at half resolution (512x384) to halve cost with minimal quality loss for outlines up to 5-6px. + +**Occlusion:** Same as dilation — mask generation is independent of outline generation. + +**JFA quality:** Approximation error bounded at sqrt(2)/2 pixels at jump step boundaries. For outlines up to ~20px, visually imperceptible. Results are smooth, rotationally symmetric, and anti-aliasable. + +Sources: +- Rong & Tan, "Jump Flooding in GPU with Applications to Voronoi Diagram and Distance Transform," ACM I3D 2006 +- https://www.comp.nus.edu.sg/~tants/jfa.html +- https://bgolus.medium.com/the-quest-for-very-wide-outlines-ba82ed442cd9 +- https://gist.github.com/bgolus/a18c1a3fc9af2d73cc19169a809eb195 +- https://itscai.us/blog/post/jfa/ +- https://blog.demofox.org/2016/02/29/fast-voronoi-diagrams-and-distance-dield-textures-on-the-gpu-with-the-jump-flooding-algorithm/ +- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jump_flooding_algorithm +- https://www.shadertoy.com/view/4syGWK +- https://mini.gmshaders.com/p/gm-shaders-mini-jfa +- RTSDF paper (extends JFA): https://arxiv.org/abs/2210.04449 + +### 3. Sobel Edge Detection on ID/Depth Buffer + +**How it works:** + +Render each target with a unique ID value into an R8 render target (depth-tested). Run a 3x3 Sobel filter — pixels where neighboring IDs differ are edges. + +```hlsl +float4 SobelEdgePS(float2 uv : TEXCOORD0) : COLOR0 +{ + float tl = tex2D(IDTex, uv + float2(-1,-1) * TexelSize).r; + float tc = tex2D(IDTex, uv + float2( 0,-1) * TexelSize).r; + float tr = tex2D(IDTex, uv + float2( 1,-1) * TexelSize).r; + float ml = tex2D(IDTex, uv + float2(-1, 0) * TexelSize).r; + float mr = tex2D(IDTex, uv + float2( 1, 0) * TexelSize).r; + float bl = tex2D(IDTex, uv + float2(-1, 1) * TexelSize).r; + float bc = tex2D(IDTex, uv + float2( 0, 1) * TexelSize).r; + float br = tex2D(IDTex, uv + float2( 1, 1) * TexelSize).r; + + float gx = -tl - 2*ml - bl + tr + 2*mr + br; + float gy = -tl - 2*tc - tr + bl + 2*bc + br; + float edge = sqrt(gx*gx + gy*gy); + + float outline = step(0.001, edge); + return float4(OutlineColor.rgb, outline); +} +``` + +**Pros:** +- Cheapest option (single pass, 9 samples) +- Crisp, accurate silhouette detection +- No variable-thickness artifacts + +**Cons:** +- Produces only 1-2px outlines — can't thicken without adding dilation anyway +- Detects unit-to-unit boundaries too (unwanted internal edges between overlapping characters) +- Alone, not sufficient for controllable-width outlines + +**Performance:** 8 texture samples per pixel. Roughly 0.1-0.2ms at 1024x768. Fastest of all approaches. + +**Occlusion:** Req 1 yes, Req 3 yes, Req 2 partially (spurious edges at unit overlaps). + +### 4. Gaussian Blur Difference (WoW Retail Style) + +**How it works:** + +Render silhouette to RT. Separable Gaussian blur (H pass + V pass). Subtract original from blurred → outline. Can downsample to 1/4 res for performance (like retail WoW does for bloom). + +```hlsl +// Gaussian blur 5-tap (separable — run horizontal then vertical) +float weights[5] = {0.0625, 0.25, 0.375, 0.25, 0.0625}; + +float4 GaussianBlurPS(float2 uv : TEXCOORD0) : COLOR0 +{ + float result = 0; + for (int i = -2; i <= 2; i++) { + float2 offset = float2(i, 0) * TexelSize; // horizontal pass + result += tex2D(SilhouetteTex, uv + offset).r * weights[i+2]; + } + return float4(result, result, result, 1); +} + +// Outline extraction +float4 OutlineExtractPS(float2 uv : TEXCOORD0) : COLOR0 +{ + float blurred = tex2D(BlurredTex, uv).r; + float original = tex2D(OriginalTex, uv).r; + float outline = saturate(blurred - original); + return float4(OutlineColor.rgb, outline * OutlineColor.a); +} +``` + +**Pros:** +- Very cheap with separable blur: O(2N) samples total +- Soft, aesthetically pleasing glow +- Downsampling to 1/4 res makes a 4px kernel act like a 16px outline + +**Cons:** +- Soft/gradient edges, not crisp — looks like a glow, not a hard outline +- Width control is imprecise (tied to blur sigma) +- Can't produce a hard-edged outline without thresholding (which re-introduces aliasing) + +**Performance:** 2 fullscreen passes with 5 samples each = 10 samples total. Very cheap. + +**Occlusion:** Same as dilation — mask generation is independent. + +### 5. Normal Extrusion (Current Approach, Refined) + +**How it works (fix for variable thickness):** + +Extrude in clip space instead of object space. Multiply extrusion by `pos.w` to compensate for perspective division: + +```hlsl +float4 pos = mul(WorldViewProj, float4(Position, 1.0)); +float2 screenNormal = normalize(mul((float2x2)WorldViewProj, Normal.xy)); +pos.xy += screenNormal * OutlineWidth * pos.w; +output.Position = pos; +``` + +This makes outline thickness uniform in screen pixels at any depth. + +**Pros:** +- Minimal change to existing code +- No render targets needed +- Works entirely in the DIP hook + +**Cons:** +- Still geometry-dependent at concave silhouettes and mesh part boundaries +- Gaps at separate body parts (WoW characters have separate meshes for armor, capes, etc.) +- Still requires batch reordering for occlusion + +--- + +## Comparison Matrix + +| | Width uniformity | Max width | Quality | Passes | Render targets | Complexity | +|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| +| **Dilation** | Uniform | ~8px | Good (square corners) | 1 fullscreen + 1/unit | 2-3 RGBA8 | Medium | +| **JFA** | Uniform, circular | Unlimited | Excellent, AA | log2(R) + 2 | 2 RG16F + 1 mask | Medium-High | +| **Sobel** | 1px only | 1-2px | Crisp but thin | 1 fullscreen + 1/unit | 1 R8 | Low | +| **Gaussian blur** | Soft gradient | ~16px (at 1/4 res) | Soft glow | 3 fullscreen + 1/unit | 3 RGBA8 | Medium | +| **Normal extrusion** | Non-uniform | ~4px | Variable | 3/unit in DIP | 0 | Low | + +--- + +## Architectural Insight: Two-Phase Separation + +All screen-space techniques (1-4) share a two-phase architecture that differs fundamentally from the current normal-extrusion approach: + +**Phase A — Silhouette mask generation (in DIP hook, per-unit)** +- For alive targets: render unit geometry with depth test ON against scene depth → writes to RT_Silhouette +- For dead targets: render with depth test OFF → writes to RT_Dead +- This is where the 3 occlusion requirements are enforced + +**Phase B — Outline generation + composite (in EndScene, once per frame)** +- Dilate/JFA/blur the mask → extract outline ring → alpha-blend over backbuffer +- This is purely 2D, knows nothing about depth + +This separation means you can **swap the outline renderer** (dilation vs JFA vs blur) without touching occlusion logic at all. + +### The Remaining Hard Problem: Requirement 2 + +Requirement 2 (other units don't occlude outlines) is the hardest to satisfy. It requires that when generating the silhouette mask for alive targets, the depth test uses a **terrain-only depth buffer** that excludes other characters. Two approaches: + +**A. Terrain-only depth buffer (cleanest):** Create a secondary D24S8 surface. During DIP, when WoW draws terrain/WMO/game objects, also render a depth-only pass into this secondary buffer. When rendering outline silhouettes, bind this buffer instead of the scene depth. + +**B. Keep batch reordering (current approach):** `model_hook.zig` already moves outline targets to render first in the M2 batch list. At that point, only terrain depth exists. Simpler but couples outline rendering to draw order. + +--- + +## Recommendation + +**JFA with batch reordering for Req 2.** + +Rationale: +- Batch reordering already solves Req 2 without needing a secondary depth buffer — outline targets render when only terrain depth exists +- JFA gives the best outline quality (uniform, circular, anti-aliased, any width) at O(log2(N)) cost +- The outline width of 2-3px only needs ~2 JFA passes — nearly free +- Glow/pulse effects come for free if desired +- Everything is SM2.0 compatible, let alone SM3.0 +- The silhouette mask pass replaces the current pass 1+2 (stencil body + normal extrusion) with a simpler "render flat color to RT" +- The stencil bit for preventing later units from painting over outlines still works alongside this + +### Concrete Implementation Plan + +**Resources to create at device creation/reset:** +``` +RT_Silhouette: RGBA8, screen size — mask for all outline targets +RT_JFA_A: RG16F, screen size — JFA ping-pong buffer A +RT_JFA_B: RG16F, screen size — JFA ping-pong buffer B +``` + +**Hook intercept points:** +``` +EndScene (start of hook): + - Clear RT_Silhouette + +DrawIndexedPrimitive (when rendering_outline): + - Save current RT and DS + - Bind RT_Silhouette as render target (keep scene depth for alive, unbind for dead) + - Render unit as flat color (category-colored) + - Restore original RT and DS + - Write stencil bits as before (for unit-over-outline prevention) + - Render normal model (pass 3 equivalent) + +EndScene (end of hook, before calling original): + - Run JFA: init pass → flood passes → decode+composite as fullscreen quad + - Alpha-blend outline over backbuffer +``` + +**Critical D3D9 state management for outline passes:** +``` +Save before outline pass: + GetRenderTarget(0, &savedRT0) + GetDepthStencilSurface(&savedDS) + GetVertexShader(&savedVS) + GetPixelShader(&savedPS) + GetRenderState(D3DRS_ZENABLE, ...) + GetRenderState(D3DRS_ALPHABLENDENABLE, ...) + GetRenderState(D3DRS_STENCILENABLE, ...) + GetRenderState(D3DRS_COLORWRITEENABLE, ...) + GetRenderState(D3DRS_ZWRITEENABLE, ...) + GetRenderState(D3DRS_DEPTHBIAS, ...) + Viewport, stream sources, vertex declaration, index buffer + +Restore all after outline composite. +``` + +--- + +## Additional References + +- "Inking the Cube" (GPU Gems 1, Chapter 11, Everitt) — screen-space dilation +- "Advanced Techniques in Real-Time Rendering" (GDC 2011, de Carpentier) — screen-space outlines +- "Post-Processing Effects in Games" (GDC 2013, Wihlidal) — Sobel ID-buffer approach +- Unreal Engine 4 custom depth/stencil outline documentation +- https://ameye.dev/notes/rendering-outlines/ — "5 Ways to Draw an Outline" +- https://linework.ameye.dev/soft-outline/ — soft outline documentation +- https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/128527/Stencil-Buffer-Glows-Part-1 +- https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/156323/Stencil-Buffer-Glows-Part-2 +- https://www.tomlooman.com/unreal-engine-soft-outline/ +- https://aras-p.info/texts/D3D9GPUHacks.html — D3D9 GPU hacks reference +- https://ameye.dev/notes/edge-detection-outlines/ — edge detection outlines +- https://www.videopoetics.com/tutorials/pixel-perfect-outline-shaders-unity/ — pixel-perfect outlines diff --git a/src/assetfix/assetfix.zig b/src/assetfix/assetfix.zig new file mode 100644 index 0000000..4520f9f --- /dev/null +++ b/src/assetfix/assetfix.zig @@ -0,0 +1,355 @@ +// ============================================================================= +// assetfix - Loose file loading & permissive patch glob +// ============================================================================= +// +// 1.

The inner provider at `+0x04` holds the actual read-from-disk callbacks. For disk-backed MPQs, this eventually calls `ReadFile`/`SetFilePointer`. + +#### Low-Level MPQ System (0x668xxx) + +Separate from the high-level IO provider, the low-level `ZipFileArchive` system uses plain Windows file handles: + +```c +// MPQ_OpenArchive (0x668360) allocates 0x110-byte ZipFileArchive struct +// openArchiveFile (0x667bd0): +openArchiveFile(this, path): + this->file_handle = openFileReadOnly(path); // → CreateFileA wrapper + strcpy(this->path, path); // store path at +0x0C +``` + +The `SArchive` wrapper at the top level (8 bytes: `{type, handle}`) bridges these: +- `type == 1`: handle points to a `ZipFileArchive` (low-level MPQ) +- `type != 1`: handle points to a stream object + +#### Conclusion: No Virtual FS, But I/O Is Abstracted + +Storm has no "register a provider" API. Every type code (0-4) is hardcoded to specific OS handle types. The I/O vtable exists but is deeply intertwined with async thread managers and buffer management (0x118 bytes of state). Creating a custom IO object is theoretically possible but requires replicating the async infrastructure. + +The most practical "virtual filesystem" approaches use **real OS handles** that Storm can consume natively — either through temp files or through MPQ archives that Storm opens and manages itself. + +--- + +## Approach E: Windows Temp File Handles (Recommended) + +### Concept + +Use Windows `CreateFile` with `FILE_ATTRIBUTE_TEMPORARY | FILE_FLAG_DELETE_ON_CLOSE` to create **real OS file handles** backed primarily by the filesystem cache (RAM). Then hook only `openFileWithOptions` to redirect Storm to our temp files. + +Windows `FILE_ATTRIBUTE_TEMPORARY` tells the cache manager to avoid flushing to disk if possible — the data lives in RAM. `FILE_FLAG_DELETE_ON_CLOSE` auto-deletes the file when the last handle closes, even on crash. + +### Implementation + +1. **DLL init** — for each embedded asset: + ```c + // Get temp directory + GetTempPath(MAX_PATH, tempDir); + + // Create temp file with auto-delete + handle = CreateFile( + tempPath, + GENERIC_READ | GENERIC_WRITE, + FILE_SHARE_READ | FILE_SHARE_DELETE, // allow Storm to open it too + NULL, + CREATE_ALWAYS, + FILE_ATTRIBUTE_TEMPORARY | FILE_FLAG_DELETE_ON_CLOSE, + NULL + ); + + // Write embedded data + WriteFile(handle, embedded_data, size, &written, NULL); + + // Store mapping: "Spells\\WU_XYZ.m2" → tempPath + ``` + +2. **Hook `openFileWithOptions` (0x6477c0)** — single hook: + ``` + openFileDetour(archive, path, flags, handle_out): + if path matches our asset map: + // Redirect to temp file path + return original(archive, temp_path, flags, handle_out) + return original(archive, path, flags, handle_out) + ``` + +3. **No other hooks needed** — Storm opens the temp file with `CreateFileA`, gets a real handle. All native I/O works: + - `GetFileSizeFromHandle` → type-0 dispatch → `fstat` on real handle ✓ + - `ReadFileFromMultipleSources` → type-0 dispatch → `fileReadWithLock` on real handle ✓ + - `processAsyncFileOperation` → reads from real handle via worker thread ✓ + - `CleanupFileHandleResources` → closes real handle ✓ + - `loadModelFromFileAsync` → async task reads real handle ✓ + +4. **Cleanup** — on DLL unload, close our original handles. `FILE_FLAG_DELETE_ON_CLOSE` handles the rest. If the process crashes, Windows still cleans up temp files. + +### Why This Works For Async + +The entire reason our current approach needs 6 hooks is that fake type-0 contexts with NULL handles fail when the async executor calls `fileReadWithLock` directly. With real temp file handles, the async executor reads from a real OS handle — no hooks needed on the read path at all. + +### Path Redirection Strategy + +Two options for how the hook redirects paths: + +**Option 1: Redirect in `openFileWithOptions`** +- Intercept at 0x6477c0, check path against our map +- If match, substitute the temp file path before calling original +- Storm's `locateFileInDirectories` runs with the temp path, finds the file on disk (type 0) +- Everything proceeds natively + +**Option 2: Redirect in `locateFileInDirectories`** +- Hook at 0x647e60 instead +- When our path is requested, set output_path to the temp file's disk path +- Set type_out = 0 (disk file) +- Return success +- `openFileWithOptions` calls `openFileHandle` on the temp path natively + +Option 2 is slightly cleaner since it hooks at the search level rather than the open level. + +### Temp File Location + +Files should go in the system temp directory (`GetTempPath`), NOT the game directory: +- No write permission issues +- No clutter in the game folder +- Windows manages cleanup +- Unique naming avoids conflicts: `GetTempFileName(tempDir, "WU_", 0, tempPath)` + +### Memory Behavior + +`FILE_ATTRIBUTE_TEMPORARY` is a hint to the Windows cache manager: +- Data is kept in the filesystem cache (RAM) and written to disk lazily +- For small files (~20 assets, totaling a few MB), Windows will almost certainly keep everything in cache +- This is NOT a guarantee — under memory pressure, Windows may flush to disk +- But for our use case (~2-3 MB total), the data effectively stays in RAM + +### Key Addresses + +Only one hook needed: + +| Function | Address | Convention | Purpose | +|----------|---------|------------|---------| +| `openFileWithOptions` | 0x6477c0 | __stdcall(4) | Redirect path to temp file | + +OR: + +| Function | Address | Convention | Purpose | +|----------|---------|------------|---------| +| `locateFileInDirectories` | 0x647e60 | __fastcall(6) | Return temp path as disk file | + +### Pros +- **Reduces from 6 hooks to 1** — the biggest win +- **All async I/O works natively** — real OS handles, no fake contexts +- No fake file contexts, no critical section management, no refcount tracking +- No MPQ building required — files are individual temp files +- Auto-cleanup via `FILE_FLAG_DELETE_ON_CLOSE` +- Temp files are invisible to the user (in system temp dir) +- The `loadFileDetour` (0x648620) for addon files could remain unchanged + +### Cons +- Files technically touch disk (Windows may flush under memory pressure) +- Requires `CreateFile`/`WriteFile` Win32 calls from Zig (straightforward via `@import("std").os.windows`) +- ~20 temp files created at init (small overhead, ~2-3 MB total) +- Temp file creation adds a few ms to DLL init +- If DLL loads after `scanDirectoriesForFiles` (likely), the disk hash table won't have our files — must use path redirection hook rather than relying on native discovery + +--- + +## Approach A: Temp MPQ on Disk + Native Patch Loading + +### Concept + +Build a real MPQ archive at compile time containing all embedded assets.

If combined with assetfix, the temp file could use any name like `patch-weirdutils.MPQ`. + +--- + +## Approach B: Register In-Memory MPQ (No Disk Write) + +### Concept + +Embed a valid MPQ archive in the DLL. Instead of writing it to disk, directly construct an SArchive object that references the in-memory MPQ data and insert it into the global archive array. + +### The Challenge: I/O Vtable + +The internal MPQ struct uses an I/O vtable at `+0x140 [0x50]` for all data access: +```c +(**(code **)(*archive[0x50] + 4))(buffer, position, 0, 0x1000, &bytes_read); +``` + +For disk-based MPQs, this vtable points to functions that call `ReadFile`/`SetFilePointer` on a Windows file handle. For an in-memory MPQ, we'd need a **custom I/O vtable** that reads from our embedded data pointer instead. + +### Implementation (Two Sub-Approaches) + +#### B1: Fake the File Backing (Simpler) + +1. Embed MPQ in DLL via `@embedFile` +2. Hook `openFileWithOptions` to intercept when Storm opens `"WeirdUtils.mpq"` — create a fake file context pointing to the embedded MPQ blob +3. Add **seek support** to the fake context (current implementation only does flat memcpy from offset 0) +4. Call `Archive_OpenUnified("WeirdUtils.mpq", ...)` — Storm reads the MPQ header, hash table, block table through our hooked I/O +5. For subsequent reads FROM the archive (when loading files within the MPQ), Storm seeks within the same archive file handle — our hook serves the right bytes + +**Key difference from current approach**: Instead of matching ~20 individual paths and creating ~20 fake contexts, we serve **one** fake file (the MPQ itself). Storm handles all per-file hash lookup, decompression, and I/O natively. + +**What changes**: +- Fake file context needs a **file position** field for seeking (use unused offset, e.g. +0x38) +- `readFileDetour` needs to read from `embedded_ptr + file_position` instead of always offset 0 +- `getFileSizeDetour` returns the total MPQ size (one value, not per-file) +- File path matching reduces from ~20 paths to 1 + +**What we might drop**: +- `loadModelAsyncDetour` (0x71d4e0) — this hook exists because M2 async loading bypasses our read hook for type-0 fake contexts. But archive files go through Storm's type-4 read path, which reads from the archive handle. If the archive handle is our fake context with seek support, Storm's own async code should work. +- `processAsyncDetour` (0x647350) — same reasoning; the async executor reads from the archive file context, which goes through our hooked `readFileDetour`. + +**Risk**: The async executor might call `fileReadWithLock` directly on the archive handle, bypassing `ReadFileFromMultipleSources`. This is the exact problem that forced hooks 4 and 6 in the current approach. Needs verification. + +#### B2: Custom I/O Vtable (More Complex, Cleaner) + +1. Embed MPQ in DLL +2. Parse the MPQ header/hash/block tables at DLL init (in Zig) +3. Allocate and populate the internal MPQ struct (~0x298+ bytes) +4. Create a custom I/O vtable with a read function that memcpys from the embedded data +5. Wrap in an 8-byte SArchive object (`{type=1, internal_handle}`) +6. Insert into global archive array at `PTR_008826bc[count]`, increment count + +**What this eliminates**: ALL file I/O hooks for asset loading. Storm finds files through the hash table, reads through our custom I/O vtable. No fake file contexts at all. + +**Complexity**: The internal MPQ struct is ~0x298 bytes with many fields. Getting every field right (hash table decryption, block table setup, sector size computation, attribute reading) is extremely error-prone. Essentially reimplementing `InitializeArchiveStructure` (0x655bf0). + +### Pros (Both B variants) +- No disk writes +- Assets stay embedded in DLL +- B2 eliminates all file hooks entirely + +### Cons +- B1: Still needs ~4 hooks (open, size, read, cleanup) but for 1 file instead of 20; may still need async hooks +- B2: Requires precise RE of the ~0x298-byte internal struct; fragile +- Both: Must build valid MPQ at compile time +- B2: Must reimplement hash table decryption in Zig + +--- + +## Approach C: Hook locateFileInDirectories (Single Hook Point) + +### Concept + +Instead of hooking individual I/O functions, hook `locateFileInDirectories` (0x647e60) — the single function that decides WHERE a file comes from (disk, hash cache, or archive). Make it return type=0 (disk) with a path that resolves to our embedded data. + +### Why This Doesn't Quite Work + +`locateFileInDirectories` only decides the file *location* — it doesn't serve data. After it returns type=0, `openFileWithOptions` calls `openFileHandle` to actually open the disk file. If there's no real file on disk, this fails. + +However, this could work in combination with disk writes (see Approach A) or with a minimal I/O hook. + +### Variant: Hook locateFileInDirectories + Inject Into Disk Hash Table + +The disk file hash table at `PTR_00c521e8`/`PTR_00c521f0` is checked BEFORE the archive chain: +```c +// In locateFileInDirectories: +if (PTR_00c521f0 != 0xffffffff) { + hash = String_ComputeHash(path); + entry = hash_table[hash & PTR_00c521f0]; + if (entry.hash == hash && strcmp(entry.name, path) == 0) { + strcpy(output_path, entry.disk_path); + *type_out = entry.type; // type stored at entry[7] + return 1; + } +} +``` + +If we could insert entries into this hash table mapping our asset paths to disk locations, AND write the files to disk, files would be found without any archive hooks. + +### Key Addresses + +| Symbol | Address | Notes | +|--------|---------|-------| +| `locateFileInDirectories` | 0x647e60 | __fastcall, 6 params | +| `scanDirectoriesForFiles` | 0x646ea0 | Populates disk hash table (called once) | +| `String_ComputeHash` | 0x64b3f0 | Storm hash function | +| `FindFileInArchive` | 0x654920 | Wrapper calling File_FindInArchive | +| `File_FindInArchive` | 0x6549a0 | Recursive archive chain search | +| Disk hash table ptr | 0xc521e8 | Hash table base pointer | +| Disk hash table mask | 0xc521f0 | Hash mask (0xffffffff = disabled) | + +### Pros +- Single hook point for file discovery +- Leverages existing game code for all I/O + +### Cons +- Still requires disk files OR additional I/O hooks +- Hash table struct needs reverse engineering +- Doesn't solve the fundamental problem (serving data from memory) + +--- + +## Approach D: CheckFileExistence Hook (assetfix Pattern) + +### Concept + +The [assetfix project](/media/storage/projects/zig/assetfix/) takes a different approach entirely: + +1. **NOP two gates** in `File_FindInArchive` (0x654b5c, 0x654b6a) that restrict `CheckFileExistence` to only "Interface/AddOns" paths +2. **Hook `CheckFileExistence`** (0x654DD0) to check a hash map of loose disk files +3.
