Load BLP texture data during prepareTile() and upload to GL cache in
finalizeTile(), eliminating file I/O stalls on the main thread. Reduce
ready tiles per frame to 1. Fix camera sweep to snap Z to ramp surfaces.
Change hearthstone action bar slot from spell to item.
- Add setInstancePosition() to M2Renderer and WMORenderer for moving
transport instances at runtime
- Detect UPDATEFLAG_TRANSPORT on gameobjects and track transport GUIDs
- Parse player-on-transport state from movement blocks
- Wire transport move callback in Application to update render positions
- Implement CMSG_GAMEOBJECT_QUERY / SMSG_GAMEOBJECT_QUERY_RESPONSE so
gameobjects display proper names instead of "Unknown"
- Add name/entry fields to GameObject entity class
- Fix CMSG_USE_ITEM packet: remove extra uint8 that shifted the item
GUID by one byte, breaking hearthstone and all item usage
- Remove redundant CMSG_LOOT after CMSG_GAMEOBJECT_USE for chests
- Show PvP enabled/disabled state in toggle message
- Relax WMO ramp wall-collision step-up check to allow walking on
gentle ramps where floor rise per step is under 0.1 units
- Add M2 fallback when WMO group files fail to load for gameobjects
- Handle re-creation of existing gameobject render instances by
updating position instead of silently ignoring
Use WMO-aware floor detection for camera clearance so tunnels don't
push the camera up to terrain. Clear permanent auras on dismount via
mount display field. Use center-only sampling for terrain/WMO floors
to prevent offset probes from snapping to terrain above tunnels.
Skip wall collision when a walkable floor exists above current feet,
allowing smooth stair traversal without per-zone tuning. Disable R key
camera reset to avoid conflicts with chat.
Clear aura list on AURA_UPDATE_ALL so dismount/WMO transitions refresh
properly. Increase WMO step height thresholds to reduce stair blocking.
Change buff cancel to right-click and support dismount via buff bar.
selectReachableFloor now picks the floor closest to the player instead of the highest, so tunnels and caves use the WMO floor rather than the terrain surface above.
Add 36 arena and battleground opcodes with handlers for queue status, team events, invites, and errors. Fix SMSG_FORCE_RUN_SPEED_CHANGE parsing (uint8 not uint32) and remove manual mount speed tracking. Buff bar now shows spell icons and is positioned below the minimap. Both mouse buttons cancel autorun.
Add root, branch, thorn, moss, ivy, and other natural doodads to the no-block foliage list. /unstuck now moves the player 5 units forward instead of resetting in place.
Guard pendingTiles.erase() with queueMutex in processReadyTiles and
unloadTile to prevent data race with worker threads. Add defensive null
checks in M2/WMO render and animation paths. Move cleanupUnusedModels
out of per-tile unload loop to run once after all tiles are removed.
- Rider character bobs with mount's run animation (sinusoidal, 0.12u amplitude)
- Mount hoofbeat footstep sounds triggered at 4 points per animation cycle
- M key opens map directly to player's current zone instead of continent
- Mouse wheel scroll zooms map in/out between world, continent, and zone views
- Fog of war darkens unexplored zones on continent view, clears on visit
- Fix SMSG_FORCE_RUN_SPEED_CHANGE parsing (missing uint32 field caused garbage speed)
- Always send speed ACK to prevent server stall, even on invalid values
- Defer mount model loading to next frame to avoid render-loop hang
- Compute mount height from tight vertex bounds instead of M2 header bounds
- Dismount when entering combat or casting spells while mounted
- Prevent auto-attacking yourself when self-targeted
- Leave combat when 40+ yards from target, close vendor at 15+ yards
- Pre-open X11 display for reliable mouse release in signal handlers
Render mount M2 model under player with seated animation, apply creature
skin textures, server-driven speed via SMSG_FORCE_RUN_SPEED_CHANGE, and
/dismount command. X11 XUngrabPointer on crash/hang to always release mouse.
- Remove early-out in wall collision so multiple wall faces are resolved
per frame, preventing corner clip-through
- Update localTo after each wall push so subsequent triangles check
against the corrected position
- Tighten collision sweep steps from 0.65 to 0.35 units (max 5 steps)
for better tunneling prevention on thin walls and corners
- Carpet slide fix: use raw model bounds (rawMax.z) instead of radius-
inflated effectiveTop for the on-top-of-object check, so thin objects
like rugs correctly skip lateral push
- Brighten WMO interior vertex lighting from 2.2/0.3 to 2.4/0.35
- M2 interior darkening now uses global player-inside-WMO flag instead
of per-instance queries that were unreliable
- Fix carpet/rug sliding by skipping lateral collision push when player
is standing on top of any stepable low object, not just platforms
- Implement flight path system: SMSG_SHOWTAXINODES parser, CMSG_ACTIVATETAXIEXPRESS builder, BFS multi-hop pathfinding through TaxiNodes/TaxiPath DBC, taxi destination UI, movement blocking during flight
- Fix WMO interiors too dark by boosting vertex color lighting multiplier
- Dim M2 objects inside WMO interiors (rugs, furniture) via per-instance interior detection
- Fix ramp/stair clipping by lowering wall collision normal threshold from 0.85 to 0.55
- Restore 5-sample cardinal footprint for ground detection to fix rug slipping
- Fix /unstuck command to reset player Z to WMO/terrain floor height
- Handle MSG_MOVE_TELEPORT_ACK and SMSG_TRANSFER_PENDING for hearthstone teleports
- Fix spawning under Stormwind with online-mode camera controller reset
Lower MAX_STEP_HEIGHT from 1.0 to 0.6 so curb walls aren't skipped.
Tighten ramp and short surface filters (0.8 height threshold instead of
1.2-1.5) to prevent clipping through tunnel entrance geometry in Stormwind.
Sweep step size reduced from 1.0f back to 0.65f with max 3 steps (was 2)
to prevent clipping through ramps in Stormwind. All paths updated: follow,
free-fly, and swimming.
Shadows disabled by default in renderer, settings UI, and settings defaults.
Spawn fix: floor probe used terrain height (underground) instead of server
position when searching for spawn floor. Now probes from max(terrain, serverZ)
so WMO city surfaces above terrain are found correctly. Also invalidates
floor cache on respawn.
Delete button: moved from details panel to bottom row (small, red, far right).
Two-stage confirmation with modal popups: first asks "are you sure", second
warns "THIS CANNOT BE UNDONE" with red DELETE PERMANENTLY button.
- Skip wall collision sweep entirely when player isn't moving (saves all
collision calls when standing still)
- Reduce max sweep steps from 4 to 2 with 1.0f step size (all paths:
follow, free-fly, swimming)
- Cache floor height between frames, reuse when position changes <0.5 units
- Fix floor height not updating after walking off tall objects (fountain etc)
by always smoothing toward detected ground instead of ignoring drops >2 units
- Reduce free-fly ground probes from 5 to 1
- Disable WMO camera collision (raycast + floor probes) for performance
- Add spatial grid to raycastBoundingBoxes for when camera collision is re-enabled
Build a 2D triangle grid per WMO group at load time so getFloorHeight and
checkWallCollision only test triangles in nearby cells instead of brute-forcing
all triangles. Also reduce sweep steps (12→4), ground probes (3→1), camera
floor probes (5→2), throttle isInsideWMO to every 10 frames, and early-out
wall collision on first hit.
- Fix CMSG_BUY_ITEM count field from uint8 to uint32 (server silently dropped undersized packets)
- Character select screen: remember last selected character, two-column layout with details panel, double-click to enter world, responsive window sizing
- Fix stale character data between logins by replacing static init flag with per-character GUID tracking
- Parallelize WMO visibility culling across worker threads (same pattern as M2 renderer)
- Optimize WMO collision queries with world-space group bounds early rejection in getFloorHeight, checkWallCollision, isInsideWMO, and raycastBoundingBoxes
- Reduce camera ground samples from 5 to 3 movement-aligned probes
- Add WMO interior lighting, unlit materials, vertex color multiply, and alpha blending support
Split the M2 animation update loop into three phases: sequential animation state update, parallel bone matrix computation via std::async (when 32+ animated instances), and sequential particle update. Each thread processes a disjoint slice of instances so no synchronization is needed.
Enrich online inventory from local DB when server data is incomplete, add
resolveOnlineItemGuid fallback for sell/equip/use, use async enqueueTile for
initial terrain load, improve walk/run animation fallbacks, clear target on
loot close, and broaden equipability detection to include armor/subclass.
Reset NPC animation to idle when health goes from 0 to >0 (respawn), prevent
dead NPCs from being moved by server movement packets. Fix faction hostility
to check factionGroup Monster bit and individual enemy arrays, not just
enemyGroup. Add level-based mob coloring: grey (no XP), green (easy), yellow
(even), orange (hard), red (very hard) for target frame and selection circle.
Smooth idle camera orbit without jump at loop boundary, click empty space to
deselect target, auto-target when attacked, fix critter hostility so neutral
factions aren't flagged red, add armor/stats to item templates, fix loot
iterator invalidation, show item template names as fallback, position drop
confirmation at cursor, remove [SYSTEM] chat prefix, show NPC names in monster
say/yell, and prevent auto-login on character select screen.
Fix spell cast target fallback using selected target instead of no-op tautology.
Fix SMSG_ITEM_QUERY_SINGLE_RESPONSE to always read 10 stat pairs (server sends
all 10 regardless of statsCount), fixing misaligned armor/stat reads. Fix XP gain
parser to read float groupRate + uint8 RAF instead of bogus uint32 groupBonus.
Add item icons and quality-colored names to loot window. Use actual character
appearance bytes for CharSections.dbc skin/face/hair lookups instead of hardcoded
defaults. Add weapon-type-aware attack animation selection (2H prioritizes anim 18).
Add readable spell cast failure messages and vendor sell hint.
Restore unconditional verticalAccel/effectStartTime reads in spline parser
with pointCount safety cap at 256. Load player hair texture from
CharSections.dbc instead of hardcoded path, and restrict render fallback
to not apply skin composite to hair batches. Change loot/gossip/vendor
windows to re-center on each open via ImGuiCond_Appearing.
Use getRemainingTileCount (pending + readyQueue) and processAllReadyTiles
to prevent loading screen from exiting before tiles are finalized. Auto-select
realm and character when only one is available.
Online world entry now shows a progress bar during character model,
terrain, and tile streaming. Fixed loading screen crash from calling
ImGui::NewFrame while a frame was already in progress. Log file is
now truncated on each launch instead of appending.
