Switch Modelviewer from Flash to WebGL

[qyh214]

some feature use flash(swf),now flash support has ended and removed from the system.we should change this

[qyh214]

maybe we can add support for 3D view again, such as three.js

[Helias]

totally agree 👍

we could use something like this https://github.com/vjeux/jsWoWModelViewer
demo: http://vjeux.github.io/jsWoWModelViewer/

these are two different, and not usefull,

treeJS has no M2/MDX Loader
Vjeux .... can 'O.K.' Display items, but no komplexe Characters or Creature Models.

Or maybe convert m2 to obj, but it takes a lot of work.

Three.js should be supported and open source for a long time(Also has the quite perfect document), which should be more suitable for this project.

Of course, it's just a proposal. Maybe there's a better plan!

this issue also link to:

TrinityCore#27

As veux is dead project, three.js is way to go and m2 is added to their todo: mrdoob/three.js#5524

Unless someone presents me a ready to use solution on a silver platter, I'm not going to use it.
I don't understand models/animation and am unable to adopt the prototypes you linked.

But that's also in the README.md

[Faq]

Some example available if anyone willing to play around with M2Loader, there also link to implementation mrdoob/three.js#5524 (comment)

@Sarjuuk that can be called as "silver platter" what you referring to? :)

[Sarjuuk]

Not really a fan of live referencing wowhead all the time but it is a solution..

Just to mention two more alternatives:

• Wow Model Viewer had an export to X3D up until this state: https://bitbucket.org/wowmodelviewer/wowmodelviewer/src/ba28fc71a8ead816a837b762ebfded5e08ffc1e7/ (the next commit removed X3D-support). X3D can be embedded into websites quite easily with x3dom. The problem is there is no way to export all models automatically, only manually one at a time.
• https://github.com/Deamon87/WebWowViewerCpp/tree/master looks interesting, but haven't tried it out (expect https://wow.tools/mv/)
