When the server sets MovementFlags::HOVER (SMSG_MOVE_SET_HOVER), the
player now floats 4 yards above the nearest ground surface instead of
standing on it. Uses the existing floor-snap path with a HOVER_HEIGHT
offset applied to the snap target.
- game_handler.hpp: add isHovering() accessor (reads HOVER flag from
movementInfo.flags, which is already set by handleForceMoveFlagChange)
- camera_controller.hpp: add hoverActive_ field and setHoverActive()
- camera_controller.cpp: apply HOVER_HEIGHT = 4.0f offset at floor snap
- application.cpp: sync hover state each frame alongside other movement
states (gravity, feather fall, water walk, flying)
Previously only run speed was synced. Now all server-driven movement
speeds are forwarded to the camera controller each frame:
- runSpeedOverride_: server run speed (existing)
- walkSpeedOverride_: server walk speed (Ctrl key movement)
- swimSpeedOverride_: swim speed (Swim Form, Engineering fins)
- flightSpeedOverride_: flight speed (epic vs normal flying mounts)
- runBackSpeedOverride_: back-pedal speed
Each uses the server value when non-zero/sane, falling back to the
hardcoded WoW default constant otherwise.
serverFlightSpeed_ (from SMSG_FORCE_FLIGHT_SPEED_CHANGE) was stored but
never synced to CameraController. Add getServerFlightSpeed() accessor,
flightSpeedOverride_ field, and use it in the flying physics path so
normal vs epic flying mounts actually move at their correct speeds.
When CAN_FLY + FLYING movement flags are both set (flying mounts, Druid
Flight Form), the CameraController now uses 3D pitch-following movement
instead of ground physics:
- Forward/back follows the camera's 3D look direction (ascend when
looking up, descend when looking down)
- Space = ascend vertically, X (while mounted) = descend
- No gravity, no grounding, no jump coyote time
- Fall-damage checks suppressed (grounded=true)
Also wire up all remaining server movement state flags to CameraController:
- Feather Fall: cap terminal velocity at -2 m/s
- Water Walk: clamp to water surface, skip swim entry
- Flying: 3D movement with no gravity
All states synced each frame from GameHandler via isPlayerFlying(),
isFeatherFalling(), isWaterWalking(), isGravityDisabled().
SMSG_MOVE_WATER_WALK / SMSG_MOVE_LAND_WALK now correctly set/clear
WATER_WALK (0x00008000) in movementInfo.flags, ensuring the flag is
included in movement ACKs sent to the server.
In CameraController, when waterWalkActive_ is set and the player is
at or above the water surface (within 0.5 units), clamp them to the
water surface and mark as grounded — preventing water entry and allowing
them to walk across the water surface as the spell intends.
Feather Fall (SMSG_MOVE_FEATHER_FALL / SMSG_MOVE_NORMAL_FALL):
- Add FEATHER_FALL = 0x00004000 to MovementFlags enum
- Fix handlers to set/clear the flag instead of passing flag=0
- Cap downward terminal velocity at -2.0 m/s in CameraController when
feather fall is active (Slow Fall, Parachute, etc.)
All three handlers now correctly propagate server movement state flags
that were previously acknowledged without updating any local state.
serverWalkSpeed_ and serverSwimSpeed_ were stored in GameHandler but
never exposed or synced to the camera controller. The controller used
hardcoded WOW_WALK_SPEED and speed*SWIM_SPEED_FACTOR regardless of
server-sent speed changes.
Add getServerWalkSpeed()/getServerSwimSpeed() accessors, walkSpeedOverride_
and swimSpeedOverride_ fields in CameraController, and sync all three
server speeds each frame. Both swim speed sites (main and camera-collision
path) now use the override when set. This makes Slow debuffs (walk speed),
Swim Form, and Engineering fins actually affect movement speed.
SMSG_MOVE_GRAVITY_DISABLE/ENABLE now correctly set/clear the LEVITATING
movement flag instead of passing flag=0. GameHandler::isGravityDisabled()
reads the LEVITATING bit and is synced to CameraController each frame.
When gravity is disabled the physics loop bleeds off downward velocity
and skips gravity accumulation, so Levitate and similar effects actually
float the player rather than letting them fall through the world.
When SMSG_FORCE_MOVE_ROOT sets ROOT in movementInfo.flags, the
camera controller was not aware and continued to accept directional
input. This caused position desync (client moves, server sees player
as rooted).
- Add movementRooted_ flag to CameraController with setter/getter.
- Block nowForward/nowBackward/nowStrafe when movementRooted_ is set.
- Sync isPlayerRooted() from GameHandler to CameraController each
frame alongside the existing run-speed sync in application.cpp.
- Add GameHandler::isPlayerRooted() convenience accessor.
- SMSG_IGNORE_LIST was silently consumed; now parses guid+name pairs to
populate ignoreCache so /unignore works correctly for pre-existing
ignores loaded at login.
- MSG_TALENT_WIPE_CONFIRM was discarded without responding; now parses
the NPC GUID and cost, shows a confirm dialog, and sends the required
response packet when the player confirms. Without this, talent reset
via Talent Master NPC was completely broken.
jumpXYSpeed should reflect actual horizontal movement at jump time:
- non-zero (run/walk speed) only when movement flags indicate forward/
backward/strafe movement
- zero when jumping straight up without horizontal movement
This prevents the server from thinking the player launched with full run
speed when they jumped in place, which could affect position prediction.
Previously movementInfo.fallTime was always 0 and jumpVelocity/jumpSinAngle/
jumpCosAngle/jumpXYSpeed were never populated. The server reads fallTime
unconditionally from every movement packet and uses it to compute fall damage
and anti-cheat heuristics; the jump fields are required when FALLING is set.
Changes:
- Add isFalling_ / fallStartMs_ to track fall state across packets
- MSG_MOVE_JUMP: set isFalling_=true, record fallStartMs_, populate jump fields
(jumpVelocity=7.96, direction from facing angle, jumpXYSpeed from server
run speed or walk speed when WALKING flag is set)
- MSG_MOVE_FALL_LAND: clear all fall/jump fields
- sendMovement: update movementInfo.fallTime = (time - fallStartMs_) each call
so every heartbeat and position packet carries the correct elapsed fall time
- World entry: reset all fall/jump fields alongside the flag reset
applyKnockBack() sets grounded=false and applies vertical velocity, but
the normal jump detection path (nowJump && !wasJumping && grounded) never
fires during a server-driven knockback because no jump key is pressed.
Without MSG_MOVE_JUMP the game_handler never sets MovementFlags::FALLING
in movementInfo.flags, so all subsequent heartbeat packets carry incorrect
flags — the server sees the player as grounded while airborne.
Fix: fire movementCallback(MSG_MOVE_JUMP) directly from applyKnockBack()
so the FALLING flag is set immediately. MSG_MOVE_FALL_LAND is already sent
when grounded becomes true again (the existing wasFalling && grounded path).
Previously the handler ACKed with current position and ignored the
velocity fields entirely (vcos/vsin/hspeed/vspeed were [[maybe_unused]]).
The server expects the client to fly through the air on knockback — without
simulation the player stays in place while the server models them as airborne,
causing position desync and rubberbanding.
Changes:
- CameraController: add applyKnockBack(vcos, vsin, hspeed, vspeed)
that sets knockbackHorizVel_ and launches verticalVelocity = -vspeed
(server sends vspeed as negative for upward launches, matching TrinityCore)
- Physics loop: each tick adds knockbackHorizVel_ to targetPos then applies
exponential drag (KNOCKBACK_HORIZ_DRAG=4.5/s) until velocity < 0.05 u/s
- GameHandler: parse all four fields, add KnockBackCallback, call it for
the local player so the camera controller receives the impulse
- Application: register the callback — routes server knockback to physics
The existing ACK path is unchanged; the server gets position confirmation
as before while the client now actually simulates the trajectory.
The AABB transform bug (direct min/max transform was wrong for rotated
WMOs) was fixed in a prior commit. Portal culling now uses the correct
world-space AABB computed from all 8 corners, so frustum intersection
is valid.
The AABB-based test is conservative (no portal plane-side check): a
visible portal can only be incorrectly INCLUDED, never EXCLUDED. This
means no geometry can disappear, and any overdraw is handled by the
z-buffer. Enable by default to get the performance benefit inside WMOs
and dungeons.
CMSG_LFG_SET_BOOT_VOTE was defined in the opcode table but never sent.
- Add GameHandler::lfgSetBootVote(bool) which sends the packet
- Fix handleLfgBootProposalUpdate() to set lfgState_=Boot while the
vote is in progress and return to InDungeon when it ends
- Add Yes/No vote buttons to the Dungeon Finder window when in Boot state
Extend the locomotion state-change detection to include the WALKING
movement flag. Previously a creature that switched from walking to
running (or vice versa) while staying in the moving state would keep
playing the wrong animation because only the moving/idle transition
was tracked.
Add creatureWasWalking_ alongside creatureWasSwimming_ and
creatureWasFlying_; guard the walking check with isMovingNow to avoid
spurious triggers when the flag flips while the creature is idle.
Clear and erase the new map at world reset and creature/player despawn.
Previously, the animation update for other entities (creatures, players)
was only triggered when the moving/idle state changed. This meant a
creature landing while still moving would stay in FlyForward instead of
switching to Run, and a flying-idle creature touching down would keep
the FlyIdle animation instead of returning to Stand.
Fix: track creatureWasSwimming_ and creatureWasFlying_ alongside
creatureWasMoving_, and fire the animation update whenever any of the
three locomotion flags change. Clean up the new maps on world reset and
on per-creature despawn.
Previously the move-flags callback only tracked SWIMMING and WALKING,
so flying players/mounts always played Run(5) or Stand(0) animations
instead of Fly(61)/FlyIdle(60).
Changes:
- Add creatureFlyingState_ (mirroring creatureSwimmingState_) set by
the FLYING flag (0x01000000) in unitMoveFlagsCallback_.
- Update animation selection: moving+flying → 61 (Fly/FlyForward),
idle+flying → 60 (FlyIdle/hover). Flying takes priority over swim
in the priority chain: fly > swim > walk > run.
- Clear creatureFlyingState_ on world reset.
isPortalVisible() was computing the world-space AABB by directly
transforming pMin/pMax with the model matrix. This is incorrect for
rotated WMOs — when the model matrix includes rotations, components can
be swapped or negated, yielding an inverted AABB (worldMin.x >
worldMax.x) that causes frustum.intersectsAABB() to fail.
Fix: transform all 8 corners of the portal bounding box and take the
component-wise min/max, which gives the correct world-space AABB for any
rotation/scale. This was the root cause of portals being incorrectly
culled in rotated WMO instances (e.g. many dungeon and city WMOs).
Also squash the earlier spline-speed no-op fix (parse guid + float
instead of consuming the full packet for SMSG_SPLINE_SET_FLIGHT_SPEED
and friends) into this commit.
These four movement-broadcast opcodes (server relaying another player's
movement packet) were not dispatched at all, causing nearby entity
positions to be silently dropped for pitch changes and gravity/fly state
broadcasts. Also add them to the kMoveOpcodes batch-parse table used by
SMSG_COMPRESSED_MOVES, and parse SMSG_SPLINE_SET_FLIGHT/WALK/etc. speeds
properly instead of consuming the whole packet.
Previously these four spline-move opcodes were silently consumed with
packet.setReadPos(getSize()), skipping even the packed-GUID read.
- SMSG_SPLINE_MOVE_UNSET_FLYING: now reads packed guid and fires
unitMoveFlagsCallback_(guid, 0) to clear the flying animation state on
nearby entities (counterpart to SMSG_SPLINE_MOVE_SET_FLYING).
- SMSG_SPLINE_MOVE_UNROOT, SMSG_SPLINE_MOVE_UNSET_HOVER,
SMSG_SPLINE_MOVE_WATER_WALK: now properly parse the packed guid instead
of consuming the full packet; no animation-state callback needed.
These three server-push opcodes were silently consumed without sending
the required client acks, causing the server to stall waiting for
confirmation before granting the capability.
- SMSG_MOVE_SET_CAN_TRANSITION_BETWEEN_SWIM_AND_FLY →
CMSG_MOVE_SET_CAN_TRANSITION_BETWEEN_SWIM_AND_FLY_ACK (via handleForceMoveFlagChange)
- SMSG_MOVE_UNSET_CAN_TRANSITION_BETWEEN_SWIM_AND_FLY →
same ack opcode (no separate unset ack exists in WotLK 3.3.5a)
- SMSG_MOVE_SET_COLLISION_HGT → CMSG_MOVE_SET_COLLISION_HGT_ACK via new
handleMoveSetCollisionHeight() which appends the float height after the
standard movement block (required by server-side ack validation)
These opcodes were inadvertently falling through to the LAND_WALK
handler (same case label), causing incorrect CMSG_MOVE_WATER_WALK_ACK
acks to be sent for gravity changes. Split into dedicated cases that
send CMSG_MOVE_GRAVITY_DISABLE_ACK and CMSG_MOVE_GRAVITY_ENABLE_ACK
respectively, as required by the server protocol.
These are the removal counterparts to SMSG_MOVE_WATER_WALK and
SMSG_MOVE_FEATHER_FALL. The server expects the matching ack with the
flag cleared; previously these packets were consumed silently which
could leave the server's state machine waiting for an acknowledgement.
SMSG_MOVE_SET_FLIGHT and SMSG_MOVE_UNSET_FLIGHT were previously consumed
silently without sending the required ack. Most server implementations
expect CMSG_MOVE_FLIGHT_ACK before toggling the FLYING movement flag on
the player; without it the server may not grant or revoke flight state.
Also updates movementInfo.flags so subsequent movement packets reflect
the FLYING flag correctly.
The complement to MSG_MOVE_START_ASCEND was missing from both the
main dispatch switch and the compressed-moves opcode table, causing
downward vertical movement of flying players to be dropped.
MSG_MOVE_START_PITCH_UP, MSG_MOVE_START_PITCH_DOWN, MSG_MOVE_STOP_PITCH,
MSG_MOVE_START_ASCEND, MSG_MOVE_STOP_ASCEND were defined in the opcode
table but never routed. The server relays these when another player
pitches or ascends/descends while flying. Without dispatch, position
updates embedded in these packets were silently dropped, causing flying
players to appear to not move vertically. Also adds these to the
compressed-moves opcode recognition array.
handleCompressedMoves uses a hardcoded opcode array to recognise which
sub-packets should be routed to handleOtherPlayerMovement. The two newly
dispatched opcodes were not in this list, so walk/run mode transitions
embedded in SMSG_COMPRESSED_MOVES / SMSG_MULTIPLE_MOVES batches were
silently dropped.
These two opcodes were defined in the opcode table but never routed to
handleOtherPlayerMovement. The server sends them when another player
explicitly toggles walk/run mode. Without dispatch, the WALKING flag
from these packets was never processed, so other players appeared to
always run even after switching to walk mode (until the next heartbeat).
Extends the cold-join fix (block.moveFlags) to the Classic and TBC
parseMovementBlock implementations so that SMSG_UPDATE_OBJECT CREATE
packets on Classic/TBC servers also initialise entity swim/walk state
from the spawn-time movement flags via unitMoveFlagsCallback_.
The previous fix added SWIMMING (0x00200000) correctly but kept 0x02000000
which is SPLINE_ELEVATION (smooth vertical spline offset), not the FLYING
flag. WotLK 3.3.5a FLYING = 0x01000000; pitch should be read when SWIMMING
or FLYING are active. This corrects the condition and updates the comment.
UpdateBlock now stores moveFlags from the LIVING movement block so the
cold-join problem is fixed: entities already swimming or walking when the
client joins get their animation state correctly initialised from the
SMSG_UPDATE_OBJECT CREATE_OBJECT packet rather than waiting for the next
MSG_MOVE_* heartbeat.
Additionally, SMSG_SPLINE_MOVE_START_SWIM, SMSG_SPLINE_MOVE_STOP_SWIM,
SMSG_SPLINE_MOVE_SET_WALK_MODE, SMSG_SPLINE_MOVE_SET_RUN_MODE, and
SMSG_SPLINE_MOVE_SET_FLYING now fire unitMoveFlagsCallback_ with
synthesised flags so explicit server-driven mode transitions update
animation state immediately without waiting for a heartbeat.
parseMovementBlock was checking moveFlags & 0x02000000 for the pitch
field, but SWIMMING is 0x00200000 in WotLK 3.3.5a. Swimming NPCs and
players in SMSG_UPDATE_OBJECT packets never triggered the pitch read,
so the fallTime/jumpData/splineElevation fields were read from the wrong
offsets, producing incorrect positions and orientations.
Fix: check both SWIMMING (0x00200000) and FLYING (0x02000000), matching
the WotLK format — same condition used in the write path.
Add UnitMoveFlagsCallback fired on every MSG_MOVE_* with the raw
movement flags field. Application.cpp uses it to update swimming
and walking state from any packet, not just explicit START_SWIM/
STOP_SWIM opcodes — fixing cold-join cases where a player is already
swimming when we enter the world.
Per-frame animation sync now selects Walk(4) when the WALKING flag is
set, Run(5) otherwise, and Swim(42)/SwimIdle(41) when swimming.
UnitAnimHintCallback is simplified to jump (38=JumpMid) only.
- Add creatureSwimmingState_ map to track which units are swimming
- unitAnimHintCallback with animId=42 (Swim): marks entity as swimming
- unitAnimHintCallback with animId=0 (MSG_MOVE_STOP_SWIM): clears swim state
- Per-frame sync: uses Swim(42)/SwimIdle(41) when swimming, Run(5)/Stand(0) otherwise
— creatures/players now show SwimIdle when standing still in water
- Clear creatureSwimmingState_ on creature/player despawn and world reset
- MSG_MOVE_STOP/STOP_STRAFE/STOP_TURN/STOP_SWIM/FALL_LAND: snap entity to
stop position (duration=0) and pass durationMs=0 to renderer so the
Run-animation flash is suppressed; per-frame sync plays Stand on next frame
- MSG_MOVE_JUMP: fire new UnitAnimHintCallback with anim 38 (JumpMid) so
other players and NPCs visually leave the ground during jumps
- MSG_MOVE_START_SWIM: fire UnitAnimHintCallback with anim 42 (Swim)
- Wire up UnitAnimHintCallback in application.cpp; skips Death (anim 1)
The renderer's CharAnimState machine already drives player character
animations (Run=5, Walk=4, Jump, Swim, etc.) — remove the conflicting
camera controller code added in the previous commit.
Fix creature movement animations to use the correct WoW M2 IDs:
4=Walk, 5=Run. Both the per-frame sync loop and the SMSG_MONSTER_MOVE
spline callback now use Run (5) for NPC movement.
CameraController now plays Walk (5) for backpedal/slow pace and Run (4)
for forward running (runPace), matching WoW's animation convention.
Also handles transitions between Walk and Run while already moving.
creatureMoveCallback now plays anim 4 (Run) when a spline move begins
(durationMs > 0), mirroring the per-frame sync logic so NPC/player
characters animate correctly during server-driven path moves as well
as position-sync moves.
CameraController now transitions the player character to Run (anim 4)
on movement start and back to Stand (anim 0) on stop, guarded by a
prevPlayerMoving_ flag so animation time is not reset every frame.
Death animation (anim 1) is never overridden.
Application creature sync similarly switches creature models to Run (4)
when they move between server positions and Stand (0) when they stop,
with per-guid creatureWasMoving_ tracking to avoid per-frame resets.
Add GhostStateCallback to GameHandler, fired when PLAYER_FLAGS_GHOST
transitions on or off in UPDATE_OBJECT / login detection. Add
setInstanceOpacity() to CharacterRenderer to directly set opacity
without disturbing fade-in state. Application wires the callback to
set opacity 0.5 on ghost entry and 1.0 on resurrect.
Add CameraController::setSitting() and call it from the StandStateCallback
so the camera blocks movement when the server confirms the player is
sitting or kneeling (stand states 1-6, 8). This prevents the player
from sliding across the ground after sitting.
Death (state 7) deliberately leaves sitting=false so the player can
still respawn/move after death without input being blocked.
Add StandStateCallback to GameHandler, fired when the server confirms
a stand state change (SMSG_STANDSTATE_UPDATE). Connect in Application
to map the WoW stand state (0-8) to M2 animation IDs on the player
character model:
- 0 = Stand → anim 0 (Stand)
- 1-6 = Sit variants → anim 27 (SitGround)
- 7 = Dead → anim 1 (Death)
- 8 = Kneel → anim 72 (Kneel)
Sit and Kneel animations are looped so the held-pose frame stays
visible; Death stays on the final frame.
Add SpellCastAnimCallback to GameHandler, triggered on SMSG_SPELL_START
(start=true) and cleared on SMSG_SPELL_GO / SMSG_SPELL_FAILURE
(start=false) for both the player and other units.
Connect the callback in Application to play animation 3 (SpellCast) on
the player character, NPCs, and other players when they begin a cast.
The cast animation is one-shot (loop=false) so it auto-returns to Stand
when complete via the existing return-to-idle logic.
Also fire stop-cast on spell failure to cancel any stuck cast pose.
When a non-looping animation (e.g. wave, cheer, laugh emote) reaches
its end, transition back to Stand (animation 0) rather than freezing
on the last frame. Death (animation 1) is excluded — it stays on the
final frame as expected.
Fixes NPCs and players getting stuck in emote poses after SMSG_EMOTE.
Remove active file-I/O debug block in character_renderer.cpp that
wrote composite textures as raw binary files to /tmp on every texture
composite generation. Remove the now-unused <fstream> include.
Remove the 10-shot hex dump of decompressed SMSG_MONSTER_MOVE payloads
in game_handler.cpp (dumpCount static); format has been confirmed.
