Could you build this?
No Native controller injection and client/server modding for the World of Warcraft client and AzerothCore requires low-level reverse engineering and C++ memory/hooking expertise.
What it would actually take: Requires C++ / assembly hook injection into the classic 3.3.5a game client executable (or custom AzerothCore C++ server modules) to translate XInput/DirectInput calls into native game camera and movement actions. Developers must reverse engineer the game's internal memory structures, window message queues, and action handling loops using Ghidra or IDA Pro. Specialized reverse engineering and game modification experience are strictly required.
