Changelog — MAWM (Most Accurate World Map)

[1.5.0] - 2026-10-27

Added

• MAWM Control Center Settings Window (/mawm, Minimap Button, World Map [Settings] Button, and ESC -> Options -> AddOns -> MAWM):
  • Modular dark ElvUI/SpArc-style Control Center with 3 dedicated tabs:
    1. Map & Layout: Master toggles, 3 geodesy layout selectors (MAWM Full Geodesy, Hybrid, Blizzard Positions), 2 ocean backdrop themes (4K Coastal Sea Chart, Cartographer's Parchment), and 1-click language switcher across all 11 official WoW locales.
    2. Continent Scales: 10 live scale multiplier sliders (0.60x – 2.40x) for every continent and island kingdom with real-time map preview and one-click reset.
    3. Ships & Zeppelins: Toggleable intercontinental transit routes with faction filters (Alliance Blue, Horde Red, Neutral Black) and line opacity control.
• Layout-Adaptive Intercontinental Ship & Zeppelin Transit Routes (MAWM.TRANSIT_ROUTES):
  • Renders curved dashed maritime and zeppelin routes with diamond harbor nodes across the Azeroth World Map (UiMapID = 947).
  • Harbor anchors (MAWM.PORTS) are bound to each continent's normalized coastline coordinates, so all routes automatically recalculate when switching between MAWM, Hybrid, and Blizzard layouts or resizing continents.
  • Hovering any route or harbor node highlights the path and displays a bilingual (EN/RU) tooltip with vessel type, faction, where to board (Point A), and destination (Point B).

Fixed

• Centered Maelstrom Typography (All 11 Locales): Adjusted the horizontal label offset (dx = +0.048 relative to the asymmetrical Maelstrom + Kezan + Lost Isles sprite bounds) so THE MAELSTROM / ВОДОВОРОТ sits dead-center beneath the whirlpool eye (x = 0.5023).
• Coastline-Relative Dynamic Label Scaling: Refactored continent bounding-box and label placement (MAWM:ComputeContinentBoxAndLabel) so continent titles automatically track coastline edges when scaling continents up or down.

[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.
