Owner

The portable WoW card (wow-portable/, ~5300 lines of shell/python plus a 47 KB README) is not under version control. It lives on a single ext4 SD card that travels between nb and the CachyOS handheld and is hot-unplugged by design.

Discovered while planning the AzerothCore server move to dev-new: the card's AzerothCore checkout (src/, rev ceeb3116ebed) carries an uncommitted 60-line local patch to boss_valithria_dreamwalker.cpp — it makes healing Valithria a valid pull so a bot raid can do the encounter. That fix exists nowhere else, and it is compiled into the worldserver image the server currently runs.

Proposal

New Forgejo repo Cloonar/wow-portable; the card becomes a working copy.

Tracked:

bin/ — the client-side wrapper (session.sh, input-mode.sh, session-gamepad.sh) and the one-time per-machine installers (install-to-steam.py, install-gamepad-layout.py, install-autologin.py, steam-artwork.py, generate-boost-templates.py, mpq.py, install-addons.sh, install-guide-pack.sh)
README.md, addons/, profiles/, docs/, tests/
the AzerothCore patch as a patch file, with the upstream rev pinned

Gitignored: client/, client-hd/, containers/, server/, src/, prefix/.

Context

Deferred deliberately during the dev-new server move — the wrapper stays on the card for that work. Note the server half of bin/ (~1800 lines: server-up.sh, server-down.sh, bot-band.sh, build-images.sh, fetch-sources.sh, configure.sh, host-setup.sh, first-run-setup.sh, acore-console.sh and most of common.sh) is being retired or moved to dev-new by that project, so this repo should be created against the post-move state.

The Valithria patch itself is being committed to cloonar-nixos as part of the server move, so the image stays rebuildable; this issue is about the remaining ~3300 lines.

The portable WoW card (`wow-portable/`, ~5300 lines of shell/python plus a 47 KB README) is **not under version control**. It lives on a single ext4 SD card that travels between nb and the CachyOS handheld and is hot-unplugged by design. Discovered while planning the AzerothCore server move to `dev-new`: the card's AzerothCore checkout (`src/`, rev `ceeb3116ebed`) carries an **uncommitted 60-line local patch** to `boss_valithria_dreamwalker.cpp` — it makes healing Valithria a valid pull so a bot raid can do the encounter. That fix exists nowhere else, and it is compiled into the worldserver image the server currently runs. ## Proposal New Forgejo repo `Cloonar/wow-portable`; the card becomes a working copy.
