Hey all,

Our faithful wiki host Mads whom has hosted the wowdev wiki for many years at madx.dk and until lately pxr.dk no longer has time to maintain the wiki actively, so we've decided to move it to a new home at https://wowdev.wiki where we can once again actively maintain it against spambots and the such. There is also once again the ability to add pages and to create accounts. The old accounts should still be available.

There might be some initial transition bugs here and there, after those are worked out we hope we can manage Mads to free up some time to redirect the old wiki to the new one.

We would love to see you all use the wiki, and maybe contribute to it. See you at https://wowdev.wiki!

Students, get ready to show off your talents: the Student Art Contest is back!

[paragraph:1wg70nwf]Blizzard Entertainment’s university relations and World of Warcraft development teams are proud to present the third annual Blizzard Student Art Contest! We’re calling on college and university students to submit original artwork or animations that would be a great fit for World of Warcraft. This year’s contest is even better than ever as we’ve thrown in additional categories for you to wow us in (pun intended).[/paragraph:1wg70nwf][paragraph:1wg70nwf]Show us something we’ve never seen before but that still fits within World of Warcraft. You can see previous winning submissions here and here.[/paragraph:1wg70nwf][paragraph:1wg70nwf]Online submission forms will be available on our University Relations website in December. We recommend getting started now though![/paragraph:1wg70nwf]

Prizes

[paragraph:1wg70nwf]Grand prize winners will be chosen by the World of Warcraft art team, and will receive the following epic prizes*:[/paragraph:1wg70nwf]

• A three-month mentorship by a member of the World of Warcraft art team, in the form of email or phone critique of portfolio work (Contact frequency will be roughly every two weeks)
• A one-year subscription to World of Warcraft
• A Blizzard Entertainment notebook (featuring an original sketch by a Blizzard artist)
• A Blizzard T-shirt

[paragraph:1wg70nwf]*Blizzard reserves the right to substitute a prize of equal or greater value for any prize[/paragraph:1wg70nwf][paragraph:1wg70nwf]Please note that only current US and Canadian college and university students are eligible to win. Residents of North Dakota, Vermont, Connecticut, Maryland, and Quebec are not eligible to participate.[/paragraph:1wg70nwf][paragraph:1wg70nwf]For more information about the contest as it becomes available, please join our Blizzard Careers group on LinkedIn (LinkedIn account required).[/paragraph:1wg70nwf][paragraph:1wg70nwf]Good luck to all![/paragraph:1wg70nwf]
   

Environment Art

[paragraph:1wg70nwf]Using your creativity and ability to work within the World of Warcraft art style, create a small environment diorama that would fit well in the game world. Your quest: Concept, model, and texture an environment piece that you could imagine stumbling upon during your travels across Kalimdor, the Eastern Kingdoms, Outland, Northrend, or Pandaria.[/paragraph:1wg70nwf][paragraph:1wg70nwf]Required elements are trees, rocks, grass, and props, plus a small structure (such as a shrine).[/paragraph:1wg70nwf]

Character Art

[paragraph:1wg70nwf]Using your creativity and ability to work within the World of Warcraft art style, concept, model, and texture a non-player character (NPC) or creature that you could imagine roaming the plains of Durotar, exploring the depths of Deepholm, or just sitting in the Pig and Whistle Tavern knocking back a mug o’ Thistle Tea.[/paragraph:1wg70nwf][paragraph:1wg70nwf]Required elements are the character or creature, along with some sort of clothing or armor. Feel free to go further by adding weapons or other accessories.[/paragraph:1wg70nwf]

Weapon Art

[paragraph:1wg70nwf]Using your creativity and ability to work within the World of Warcraft art style, concept, model, and texture a main hand weapon with a complimentary offhand weapon/shield/item. It could be the pairing of the “Deadly sword of Castle AHHHH” and a “Jabberwock Scale Shield,” the “Repentant Crusader Mace” and a “Tome of Righteousness,” or even the “Beguilers Ebonwood Staff” and an “Obfuscating Eye of Yogg-saron.” Let Azeroth be your guide and pull from the many established cultures, encounters, and legends that exist in World of Warcraft.[/paragraph:1wg70nwf][paragraph:1wg70nwf]Required elements are the main hand weapon, along with its matching offhand item, but feel free to go further by adding a player or creature wielding your creations.[/paragraph:1wg70nwf]

Animation

[paragraph:1wg70nwf]Keeping in mind and working within the World of Warcraft art style, select a class from the game and create either a battle scene or flavor animation. A battle scene could be any type of combat situation. Think of it as a pitch for a new player class. Your scene could be as epic as a final boss fight, or something more comical like warding off a group of feisty Murlocs. The flavor animation piece is all about personality. It could be a group of characters having a good time hoisting back pints of ale or coming home after winning a PVP match. Feel free to interpret these how you wish. Be as creative as possible, but don’t forget to watch your weight, timing, strong poses, and arcs![/paragraph:1wg70nwf][paragraph:1wg70nwf]Required elements include one cycled animation in a stand or combat ready pose. Make sure animations return to the same start position and feel free to add additional models or weapons.[/paragraph:1wg70nwf][paragraph:1wg70nwf]The final piece should be animated in 30 frames per second and in meters. Please avoid camera shakes and blurs as they tend to hide fundamentals that we look for.[/paragraph:1wg70nwf]

They are MoP only.

I'm currently unable to initiate them myself; the server tells the client to play a scene.
The server spawns a CGSceneObject. The scene can only play while that object exists.

Scene scripts are in lua, can't interface with the UI though and have a special API, allowing to modify the world in different ways.

Modifying the Varian Gets Punched scene:
Instead of camera movement, spawn a field of :


Instead of , use a specific model:


Instead of just spawning a model, clone the player, phase out the actual player, then randomly run around.

An excerpt of functions (without arguments) and variables available in the API:

If there is an open source DXT plugin, it should be pretty easy to modify that for writing and opening BLPs.
Irfan once made a plugin for IrfanView, but never added writing or published it. It is great for going through files fast though.

A standalone library for DXT: http://code.google.com/p/libsquish/
I have no idea about photoshop plugins though.
