PAGE_A uses 24 bytes in vanilla (no addr+len), but PAGE_B always uses
29 bytes (with addr+len) regardless of expansion. Splitting the cases
fixes remaining unknown check type errors on Turtle WoW.
Vanilla PAGE_A/B checks are 24 bytes (no addr+len), PROC checks are
25 bytes (no second strIdx+offset), unlike WotLK's 29/30. Wrong sizes
caused incomplete responses with bad checksums, silently blocking
character creation on Turtle WoW.
Filter races/classes in character creation screen by expansion profile
constraints, add 10s server response timeout, and reset Warden crypto
state on disconnect so reconnections use the correct session key.
Expansion overlays allow each expansion to supplement the base asset data
via an assetManifest field in expansion.json, loaded at priority 50 (below
HD packs). The asset extractor gains --reference-manifest for delta-only
extraction. Also fixes CharSections field indices (VariationIndex=4,
ColorIndex=5, Texture1=6) across all DBC layout references.
Bags are now individual draggable ImGui windows (backpack + each equipped
bag) with per-bag toggle from the bag bar. B key opens/closes all. A
settings toggle under Gameplay lets users switch back to the original
aggregate single-window mode. Window width adapts to bag item name length.
Fix dismount by clearing local mount state immediately (optimistic) instead
of waiting for server confirmation, and allow buff bar right-click dismount
regardless of the aura's buff flag.
Fix other players appearing naked by queuing them for auto-inspect when
the visible item field layout hasn't been detected yet.
Vanilla CMSG_CAST_SPELL target mask is uint16 (not uint32 like WotLK),
the extra 2 bytes were corrupting packets. Also implement full bag
content tracking: extract container slot GUIDs from CONTAINER update
objects, set proper bag sizes, and populate bag items in inventory
rebuild.
Vanilla M2 tracks store absolute timestamps in the flat array (e.g.
1000-2000ms) but the renderer plays animTime from 0 to duration.
Normalize timestamps to 0-relative after slicing per-sequence ranges
so findKeyframeIndex matches correctly.
- Parse vanilla M2 animation tracks (flat arrays with M2Range indices)
instead of skipping them, fixing T-pose on all vanilla models
- Use C4Quaternion (float[4]) for vanilla bone rotations instead of
CompressedQuat (int16[4]) which produced garbage transforms
- Fix vanilla M2 attachment struct size (48 bytes, not 40) so weapons
attach to correct bones instead of model origin
- Route movement packets through expansion-specific packet parsers
instead of hardcoded WotLK format, fixing server-side position sync
- Fix Spell.dbc field indices for classic/turtle (Name=120, Rank=129,
IconID=117) - were pointing to Portuguese locale column (+7 offset)
- Change guild roster keybind from J to O (WoW default)
- Add guild opcodes for all expansions
- Route SMSG_UPDATE_OBJECT through polymorphic parsers for correct
vanilla format (uint8 updateFlags, 6 speeds vs WotLK uint16/9)
- Fix SMSG_DESTROY_OBJECT for vanilla (8 bytes, no isDeath field)
- Add MSG_MOVE_* handlers for other player movement relay
- Add ClassicPacketParsers::parseMessageChat with targetGuid read
and monster-type name handling
- Resolve chat sender names from player name cache before display
- Fix CSV DBC field 0 always treated as numeric ID (fixes 16+ garbled
Turtle CSVs including Map, AreaTable, Spell, CreatureDisplayInfo)
- Add CSV DBC validation: reject garbled CSVs (>80% zero IDs) and
fall back to binary DBC files
- Fix ItemDisplayInfo texture component field index (14+ not 15+)
for binary DBC with gender-aware suffix resolution
- Spawn other players as visible M2 models via creature callback
- Map name cache dedup prevents overwrites from duplicate CSV records
- Vanilla M2 bone struct (108 bytes) with 28-byte animation tracks
- Version-aware bone parsing (vanilla vs WotLK format detection)
- Fix CharSections.dbc field layout for vanilla (variation/color at 4-5)
- Remove broken CharSections.csv files (all fields marked as strings)
- Expansion data reload on profile switch (DBC cache clear, layout reload)
- Vanilla packet encryption (VanillaCrypt XOR-based header crypt)
- Extended character preview geoset range (0-99) for vanilla models
- DBC cache clear support in AssetManager
Replace hardcoded WotLK protocol constants with a data-driven architecture
supporting Classic 1.12.1, TBC 2.4.3, and WotLK 3.3.5a. Each expansion
has JSON profiles for opcodes, update fields, and DBC layouts, plus C++
polymorphic packet parsers for binary format differences (movement flags,
speed fields, transport data, spline format, char enum layout).
Key components:
- ExpansionRegistry: scans Data/expansions/*/expansion.json at startup
- OpcodeTable: logical enum <-> wire values loaded from JSON
- UpdateFieldTable: field indices loaded from JSON per expansion
- DBCLayout: schema-driven DBC field lookups replacing magic numbers
- PacketParsers: WotLK/TBC/Classic parsers with correct flag positions
- Multi-manifest AssetManager: layered manifests with priority ordering
- HDPackManager: overlay texture packs with expansion compatibility
- Auth screen expansion picker replacing hardcoded version dropdown
