Changelog — MAWM (Most Accurate World Map)

[1.4.0] - 2026-10-26

Added

• 3 Selectable Geodesy Layout Modes (Right-Click / Ctrl-Click or /mawm layout):
  1. MAWM (Full Geodesy): Broken Isles NE of Kalimdor, Zandalar SW ("South America"), Khaz Algar (Isle of Dorn) North/NE, and Dragon Isles SE (Southern Hemisphere).
  2. Hybrid: Broken Isles NE of Kalimdor & Zandalar SW ("South America"), while Khaz Algar (SW) & Dragon Isles (NE) stay at Blizzard's stock positions.
  3. Blizzard (Stock Positions + Enhanced Proportions): All 10 continents at Blizzard's familiar positions, scaled to true gameplay-enhanced proportions.
• 4K Hand-Restored Modular Continent Sprites (All 10 Continents):
  • Restored all 10 continents (Kalimdor, Eastern Kingdoms, Northrend, Pandaria, Dragon Isles, Broken Isles, Kul Tiras, Zandalar, Khaz Algar / Isle of Dorn, and a volumetric 3D Maelstrom vortex with Kezan & The Lost Isles) with crisp hand-drawn relief, glaciers, forests, and zero baked-in icons or text.
• Gameplay-Enhanced Continent Proportions (1.2x–1.6x) & Coastal-Water Ocean Parchment:
  • Enlarged continents so fine 4K geographic details on Northrend, Pandaria, and island kingdoms are clearly visible while maintaining true supercontinent hierarchy (Kalimdor & Eastern Kingdoms).
  • Restyled the ocean background using the cool slate-aqua coastal water tones of the continents so coastlines, bays, and Vashj'ir blend seamlessly into the sea chart, with compact corner engravings and layout-aware navigation rhumb lines.
• Screen-Normalized Soft Feathered INNER Hover Glow (hl_<Continent>.tga):
  • Replaced outer coastline outlines with a soft, screen-normalized inward-feathered golden glow that illuminates every continent and island uniformly without spilling outside the dark ink coastline.
• Enlarged Coastline-Curved Typography (All 11 Official WoW Locales):
  • Enlarged all localized map labels and curved island/polar continent titles along their coastlines (Pandaria arched above northern Pandaria, Northrend curved beneath Dragonblight's bay, Kul Tiras, Broken Isles, Dragon Isles, Zandalar, Khaz Algar, and The Maelstrom curved cleanly along their shores so zero continent detail is covered).

[1.3.1] - 2026-10-25

Added

• Full 11-Locale Client Auto-Detection (GetLocale()): Added engraved map label overlays for all official World of Warcraft locales: English (enUS/enGB), Russian (ruRU), German (deDE), French (frFR), Spanish (esES/esMX), Italian (itIT), Portuguese (ptBR), Korean (koKR), Simplified Chinese (zhCN), and Traditional Chinese (zhTW).
• Warm Golden-Amber Warcraft Parchment Grading: Matched the ocean parchment color temperature to Blizzard's zoomed-in continent maps while preserving crisp vector-sharp sea monsters, compass rose, and rhumb lines with zero compression artifacts.
• Southern Hemisphere Climate Proof (#6 Dragon Isles & #8 Pandaria): Updated interactive lore pins with the southern hemisphere climate gradient.

Fixed

• 1:1 Pixel-Locked DB2 Highlights: Extracted exact continent stencils and HighlightFileDataID masks using native UiMapAssignment.db2 coordinates.
• Clean Top-Level Canvas (UiMapID = 947): Suppressed misplaced stock pins and the floating Khaz Algar cloud overlay while MAWM is active on 947.
