Anisotropic filtering now queries GL_MAX_TEXTURE_MAX_ANISOTROPY_EXT once
and applies via a single applyAnisotropicFiltering() utility, replacing
hardcoded calls across all renderers. Fog (sky horizon color, 100-600
range) and Blinn-Phong specular highlights are added to WMO, M2, and
character shaders for visual parity with terrain. Shadow sampling
plumbing (sampler2DShadow with 3x3 PCF) is wired into all three shaders
gated by uShadowEnabled, ready for a future shadow map pass.
Replace UV scroll workaround for chimney smoke with proper GL_POINTS
particle system. Smoke particles rise, expand, drift, and fade over
4-7 seconds. One in eight particles spawns as a bright orange/red
ember spark. Enable 4x multisample antialiasing for smoother edges
on player models, fences, and foliage.
- Add spellbook screen (P key) with Spell.dbc name lookup and action bar assignment
- Default Attack and Hearthstone spells available in single player
- Fix WMO floor clipping (gryphon roost) by tightening ceiling rejection threshold
- Darken ocean water, increase wave motion and opacity
- Add M2 model distance fade-in to prevent pop-in
- Reposition chat window, add slash/enter key focus
- Remove debug key commands (keep only F1 perf HUD, N minimap)
- Performance: return chat history by const ref, use deque for O(1) pop_front
Movement:
- Fix speed controls: Shift=sprint (28), normal run (14), Ctrl=walk (5)
- Reduce character height for doorway clearance (eye height 1.2)
- Add working crouch (C or X key) with smooth transition (eye height 0.6)
- Jump to stand up from crouch
M2 Animation:
- Add animation time tracking per M2 instance
- Add procedural swaying animation in vertex shader
- Update animation each frame for vegetation movement
