Mirror like objects, or textures in WoW?

(1/2) > >>

Ohai:
As the title says I was looking thru Azeroth yesterday and Got an idea about creating mirrors then I realized there arent any mirrors in game atleast I couldnt find anything.
So if anyone knows about mirror like M2s, textures or something please some info

Sprucey:
As far as I'm aware, the water shaders are the only truly reflective portion of WoW.

The effect could be faked. Perhaps look at the model for Deeprun Tram, as they use environment mapping to simulate the reflection on the glass tunnel. I have no first hand experience with utilizing it on a server personally though.

Ohai:
Yes only water and I noticed it doesnt reflect players just the environment

And if someone was to make a mirror I guess it would be a fixed camera projection thats always aimed towards the player or something like that hmm .p  :?:

Alastor:
in 335 engine isnt any function to handle mirrors

schlumpf:
You could do the old fashioned fake: let there be an invisible wall where the mirror is. Copy _everything_ and place it behind the wall, mirrored. Now, add a server side script that detects all units nearby and duplicates them, mirrored, in the fake world.

It won't be feasible.
