Used to work on @SteamDB.info and wow.tools.
Likes WoW, Minecraft, space and making tools for artists. Profile BG by Kruithne. Formerly @Marlamin on the other place. He/they.
Did a quick model naming pass. My favorite 3 new models: UVMapMan, UVMapDog and UVMapBird*.

The size classification is very arbitrary right now and uses very simple logic for deciding how big a model is, this will likely need further tweaking in the future but works fine for now.

Update on this. I have automatic tagging working for FileType, M2Size, ModelFeature and EncryptionStatus tags. I need to add a proper UI for filtering by them in WTL, but here is a sample search for "large" models that have physics bones AKA "tag:modelfeature=physics,tag:m2size=large".

Current dye system has a limit of 256 different colors with about a quarter of that currently in use for decor dyes, I don't think this is the truly free/data-driven dye system we envisioned as there's still the limited number of rows in the color lookup texture (see below). Maybe one day..

Started work on one of the projects I wanted to tackle this year. Instead of a list of filenames, a list of tags for files might work better for some usecases (more @ blog.marlam.in/reflection-2...).

I've started up a repo (github.com/wowdev/wow-f...) as well as a UI in WTL for managing the tags.

Don't remember the last time I spent over 8 hours sleeping or with this high of a sleep score. Went to bed at 8 because I couldn't be bothered reading or hearing any more about the current state of the world. Woke up just now around 5. 8h23m of sleep. Wow. Logging this one for the history books.

~8k steps later and I managed to take a webcam selfie. Also went and visited mom's grave even though the cemetery wasn't open yet because it was still dark (don't tell anyone), but her grave monument looked awesome in the snow. Everyone who was also out for a walk said goodmorning too. What a day.

Snow on the ground, I repeat, snow on the ground. Time to set aside any health problems for the duration of a shower and a morning walk. I really need this.

Tick tock, Valve.

You only have a few more hours.

Dutch charity event Serious Request put on by public radio station 3FM has raised 18.4m Euro to fight muscle disease in children (you might remember Duchenne for example, the disease Mats/Ibelin had), a new record for the yearly event that has been going since 2004. Very proud of our little country.

Note that the unchecking "Community Sites and Apps" checkbox in the Battle.net Account settings does hide your house (and all your other data), so that is a short-term solution if you don't mind any other sites/armory losing access to data.

why is it raining in my house (bluesky loudness warning)

With new hotfixes just pushed to Beta realms, both Night Elf and Blood Elf exteriors are now available for testing! www.mmo-champion.com/threads/2666...

I needed a bit of a break from work stuff today so I finished up getting a level 80 of each class thanks to Remix (alt text for explanation). Now to finish achievements/class campaigns/buying bronze things. Can you tell I pretty much only mained Alliance only before this?

You can now filter by decor model feature on the WoWDB Housing Hub, e.g. all decor with physics: housing.wowdb.com/decor/?decor...

IDK if any Blizz devs are reading this but the Akamai TACT CDN broke and has not been getting any new files for over a month, level3 (while sometimes buggy) and the Blizz CDN are OK, but I can see that both Agent and WoW are hitting 404s on Akamai pretty consistently (and having to retry others).

Spent most of the my time not being sick either on work or other projects so I haven't actually had much of a chance to go on a decor collecting spree yet. Soon.

Solelo just got hotfixed if anyone was waiting for her to restock (if she's not spawned wait until she respawns, happens when they hotfix NPCs).
December 5, 2025 at 7:24 PM

Second Chair Pawdo was just hotfixed to sell additional of the items he rewards from quests -- pending you have done the relevant quest!

New Beta build is out. Housing level 6 has a very interesting reward! housing.wowdb.com/progression/

Reminder that you can filter on decor available in Early Access on the WoWDB Housing Hub through the filter on the left. Any stragglers not available in early access that snuck through will be removed as they are (un?)discovered. housing.wowdb.com/decor/?early...

DYES! There is now very basic dye support in the WoWDB Housing Hub modelviewer, it still needs work but we're shipping it out now since people have been asking for it a lot and we didn't want to delay it for just UI/mobile reasons.
Let us know if any issues pop up!
