魔兽世界客户端数据研究（四）：M2文件头分析

终于决定，还是通过wow model viewer起手，研究一下WOW的数据类型，从另一个角度，体验一把这个唯一让我充过值的游戏。

这将是一系列随笔，即在读代码的时候，顺便记录，以理清思路和加深映象。 其中会有很多让人费解的地方，如果有幸被某位兄弟看见

，请勿见笑。

这都是第四篇关于M2文件格式的文章了，但是，对MD2文件格式的理解却还是九牛一毛，冰山一角。 仔细思考了一下，发现是不是自己一

开始走的路不对，因为是从半腰上分析的。 今天决定把文件头补上。 因为文件头可以大概看出一个文件是如何组织数据，以及包含哪些

数据的。

在此，给出WotLK的头文件定义
