but I am seeing some very weird things, like SMDoodadDef https://wowdev.wiki/ADT/v18#MDDF_chunk existing when for example wow goes to actually create the doodads from "definitions" of WMOs... which of course don't have structure SMDoodadDef in their files.

I've hunted down some m2 allocations coming in form some object called CMapPVS, and inside that there is something called PVSObjListDoodad... in which doodad definitions reside. Wtf is a 'PVS'?

been at it for hours, sanity kinda run out at this point. PVS doodad stuff look like this. But can't quite tell if it's the terrain doodad stuff.

I figured deleting doodads from the terrain would be simple but just _finding_ them is a nightmare. Deleting doodads from wmos, at least, is straightforward.
