MIDNIGHT VIEWPORT v1.4.2
Customizable Viewport Margins Addon
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

OVERVIEW
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Midnight Viewport is a World of Warcraft addon that allows you to customize your
viewport margins with colors, textures, and rotation options. Originally inspired
by the SunnArt Viewport addon (which has not been updated for Midnight),
Midnight Viewport provides a modern, lightweight solution for viewport
customization with enhanced features and full localization support.

ADDON PACKS & TEXTURE REGISTRATION
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

Midnight Viewport can load textures from addon packs. The addon includes an
advanced pack discovery system that automatically detects and groups texture
variants.

SUPPORTED TEXTURE PACKS
• SunnArtPack5
• SunnArtPackDarkWall
• MidnightViewportExtra
• Any custom addon pack following the registration format

REGISTERING A TEXTURE PACK
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

To register your own texture pack or convert an existing SunnArt pack:

1. Create or update the pack's main Lua file with this template:

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
-- Example: YourPackName texture pack for MidnightViewport
-- Auto-registers textures when MidnightViewport is loaded

-- SunnArtPack8 Texture Manifest (compact format)

-- This file is automatically discovered and loaded by MidnightViewport

-- Only update counts or add entries below

-- SunnArtPack8 Texture Manifest (compact format)

-- This file is automatically discovered and loaded by MidnightViewport

-- Only update counts or add entries below

TextureManifest = {

packName = "SunnArtPack8",

folder = "SunnArtPack8",

extension = ".tga",

entries = {

-- Display and file combo for each texture variant

{ display = "alterachorde", file = "alterachorde", count = 3 },

{ display = "bloodelffemale", file = "bloodelffemale", count = 3 },

{ display = "orcfemale", file = "orcfemale", count = 3 },

{ display = "orcmale", file = "orcmale", count = 3 },

-- Add more entries as needed, using display/file combo

}

-- Auto-register with MidnightViewport if available

if type(MidnightViewportRegisterPack) == "function" then

MidnightViewportRegisterPack("SunnArtPack8", TextureManifest)

end

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

2. Update your pack's .toc file:
- Set the game version to: ## Interface: 120000
- Remove any SunnArt dependencies
- Add: ## Dependencies: MidnightViewport (optional, for auto-loading)

3. Ensure your texture files (.tga or .blp) match the paths in the registration

4. Install the addon and reload the game (/reload)

5. Open Midnight Viewport options and select your textures from the dropdowns
