Use latest authoritative target coordinates for melee range checks and add heartbeat resync while auto-attack intent is active but hits are not confirmed.
Details:
- Switch melee distance calculations from interpolated entity position to getLatestX/Y/Z in start, periodic auto-attack checks, and NOTINRANGE retry gating.
- Send MSG_MOVE_HEARTBEAT during melee sync ticks when facing is already aligned but server hasn’t confirmed active swings yet (or target is marked out-of-range), preventing 'step forward to start hitting' behavior.
- Keep existing warning throttling and stop logic intact.
- add idempotent pending-accept tracking with timeout and per-quest cleanup hooks
- stop optimistic local quest insertion on accept; rely on server-authoritative updates
- handle QUEST_INVALID already-on/completed as reconciliation paths for pending accepts
- trigger quest metadata + status resync when accept state drifts
- add login-time quest log rebuild from PLAYER_QUEST_LOG server slots
- query quest metadata for server-slot quests to hydrate titles/objectives
- clear stale pending quest accept/query state on fresh world entry
- improve gossip quest selection fallback by trusting server quest slots when local cache is missing
This reduces duplicate accept/state mismatch loops (notably reason=13) and stabilizes WotLK quest behavior after relogs.
- Send CMSG_QUESTGIVER_ACCEPT_QUEST with trailing u8 flag on non-classic expansions to match AzerothCore parsing and prevent opcode 393 ByteBufferException.
- Keep classic/turtle on short accept packet format (guid + questId).
- Add displayId fallback for 31048/31049 to Creature\Wolf\Wolf.m2 so Diseased Young Wolf variants render instead of being dropped.
Combat state/UI:
- Split attack intent from server-confirmed auto attack in GameHandler.
- Add explicit combat state helpers (intent, confirmed, combat-with-target).
- Update player/target frame and renderer in-combat indicators to use confirmed combat.
- Add intent-only visual state in UI to avoid false combat feedback.
Animation correctness:
- Correct combat-ready animation IDs to canonical ready stances (22/23/24/25).
- Remove hit/wound-like stance behavior caused by incorrect ready IDs.
Classic/TBC/Turtle melee reliability:
- Tighten melee sync while attack intent is active: faster swing resend, tighter facing threshold, and faster facing cadence for classic-like expansions.
- Send immediate movement heartbeat after facing corrections and during stationary melee sync windows.
- Handle melee error opcodes explicitly (NOTINRANGE/BADFACING/NOTSTANDING/CANT_ATTACK) and immediately resync facing/swing where appropriate.
- On ATTACKSTOP with persistent intent, immediately reassert ATTACKSWING.
- Increase movement heartbeat cadence during active classic-like melee intent.
Server compatibility/anti-cheat stability:
- Restrict legacy force-movement/speed/teleport ACK behavior for classic-like flows to avoid unsolicited order acknowledgements.
- Preserve local movement state updates while preventing bad-order ACK noise.
Resolved a melee desync where attacks could fail unless constantly moving through target.
Movement opcode handling:
- In 0x006B compatibility path, prefer compressed-move batch detection before weather alias routing.
- Route 0x006B payloads shaped like SMSG_COMPRESSED_MOVES sub-packets to handleCompressedMoves().
Root/unroot state synchronization:
- Added handling for SMSG_FORCE_MOVE_ROOT and SMSG_FORCE_MOVE_UNROOT.
- Added handleForceMoveRootState() to apply server-authoritative ROOT flag locally.
- Send CMSG_FORCE_MOVE_ROOT_ACK / CMSG_FORCE_MOVE_UNROOT_ACK with current movement payload and counter.
Melee facing stability:
- Added periodic facing sync during auto-attack (MSG_MOVE_SET_FACING) when angular drift to target exceeds threshold.
- Keeps server front-arc/facing checks aligned while stationary meleeing.
Noise reduction / stream hygiene:
- Consume optional legacy/system packets safely: SMSG_FRIEND_LIST, SMSG_IGNORE_LIST, SMSG_ADDON_INFO, SMSG_EXPECTED_SPAM_RECORDS.
Validation:
- Rebuilt successfully with cmake --build build -j32.
Classic: synchronized Data/expansions/classic/opcodes.json to /home/k/Desktop/classicopcodes.h with exact symbol/value parity (0 missing, 0 mismatches).
WotLK: synchronized Data/expansions/wotlk/opcodes.json to /home/k/Desktop/azerothcoreOpcodes.h and aligned symbol names to AzerothCore naming.
Logical opcode layer: expanded include/game/opcode_table.hpp and src/game/opcode_table.cpp to include missing canonical opcode symbols required by synced tables, and removed legacy alias fallback block so canonical names are used directly.
Gameplay/handler updates included from ongoing fixes: duel/taxi stale opcode cleanup, level-up/sound handling adjustments, and related parser/packet references updated to match canonical opcode identifiers.
Validated by successful full build: cmake --build build -j32.
Switch level-up callback triggering to SMSG_LEVELUP_INFO/SMSG_LEVELUP_INFO_ALT so animation and SFX are server-authoritative.
Parse the new level directly from the level-up packet, update cached player/character level state, and fire callback only when level increases.
Remove duplicate callback firing from UNIT_FIELD_LEVEL update-field handling to prevent double-triggered level-up effects when values sync after the packet.
handleMonsterMove called MonsterMoveParser::parse() directly (WotLK
format with extra uint8 after PackedGuid) instead of going through
the polymorphic packetParsers_->parseMonsterMove(). Added parseVanilla
override to ClassicPacketParsers so classic/turtle use the correct
vanilla format.
Update field extraction in both CREATE_OBJECT and VALUES handlers to check
specific fields (maxHealth, level, faction, etc.) before power/maxpower range
checks. In Classic 1.12.1, power indices 23-27 are adjacent to maxHealth (28),
and maxPower indices 29-33 are adjacent to level (34) and faction (35), so
range checks like "key >= powerBase && key < powerBase+7" were incorrectly
capturing those fields.
Add build-aware WoW.exe selection and runtime global patching for Warden
SYSTEM_INFO, EndScene, WorldEnables, and LastHardwareAction chains. Fix
Classic opcodes and auth session addon data format for CMaNGOS compatibility.
Bag bar: left-click drag bags to swap positions using CMSG_SWAP_ITEM
with INVENTORY_SLOT_BAG_0 (255). Local optimistic swap for instant
feedback. Camera controller now respects ImGui WantCaptureMouse.
Vendor auto-open bags only triggers once per session.
Fix opcodes: CMSG_GAMEOBJECT_USE 0x01B→0x0B1 (typo caused
SMSG_FORCEACTIONSHOW spam), CMSG_CANCEL_AURA 0x033→0x136,
SMSG_SELL_ITEM 0x1A4→0x1A1.
Wire CombatSoundManager into SMSG_ATTACKERSTATEUPDATE for weapon swing,
impact, and miss sounds. Add attack grunt and wound vocalizations to
ActivitySoundManager using correct WoW MPQ PC-suffix paths. Trigger
attack animation on SMSG_SPELL_GO for warrior melee abilities. Add
client-side melee range and facing checks to prevent server rejections.
Snap charge arrival to target's current position for reliable melee range.
Replace 2D screen-space ding rings with real WoW LevelUp.m2 particle/geometry
effect. Fix FBlock particle color parsing (C3Vector floats, not CImVector bytes)
which was producing blue/red instead of golden yellow. Spell effect models bypass
particle dampeners, glow sprite conversion, Mod→Additive blend override, and all
collision (floor/wall/camera) to prevent camera zoom-in. Other players' level-ups
trigger the 3D effect at their position with group chat notification. F7 hotkey
for testing.
- getSpellCastResultString now returns "Not enough rage/energy/focus/runic power" based on player power type instead of always "Not enough mana"
- Fix NPC combat messages concatenating onto previous lines by combining prefix+body into single renderTextWithLinks call instead of TextWrapped+SameLine
- Improve generic error strings to be more WoW-authentic (Invalid target, Target not in line of sight, etc.)
The character stats panel was showing Armor: 0 because summing armor
from item query responses is fragile (depends on correct BuyCount/damage
block parsing). Instead, read the server-authoritative total armor
directly from UNIT_FIELD_RESISTANCES (physical resistance, index 0)
in the player entity update fields.
Added UNIT_FIELD_RESISTANCES to the UF enum and all four expansion
JSON files with correct wire indices:
WotLK 3.3.5a: 99 (NPC_FLAGS=82 + emotestate + stat×5 + posstat×5 + negstat×5)
TBC 2.4.3: 185 (NPC_FLAGS=168 + same relative layout)
Classic 1.12: 154 (NPC_FLAGS=147 + emotestate + stat×5, no posstat/negstat)
Turtle WoW: 154 (same as Classic)
Stats panel uses server armor when > 0, falls back to summed item-query
armor otherwise. Armor rating resets to 0 on world entry and is updated
from both CREATE_OBJECT and VALUES update blocks.
The old `// lgtm [cpp/...]` comments used a space (invalid syntax) and
were placed on preceding lines rather than inline with the flagged code.
GitHub's CodeQL action v3 requires `// codeql[query-id]` on the same
line as the flagged expression. All four alert sites updated:
- world_socket.cpp: encryptCipher/decryptCipher.init() (protocol RC4)
- warden_module.cpp: decryptRC4() call (Warden protocol RC4)
- warden_crypto.cpp: initRC4() calls (Warden stream cipher init)
- game_handler.cpp: wardenLoadedModule_->load() (MD5+RC4 via Warden)
All uses are protocol-mandated by Blizzard's WoW/Warden spec and cannot
be replaced without breaking server interoperability.
Previously other players jittered because the entity sat frozen at its
destination between movement packets, then snapped to the new start
position on the next packet (stop-pop-stop-pop at ~10 Hz).
Entity interpolation now tracks a smoothed velocity and dead-reckons
past the end of each packet window, so the entity keeps gliding at the
estimated speed until the next server update arrives. Movement stops
only after two consecutive intervals with no new packet (entity has
genuinely stopped).
Also replaced the raw packet-delta duration with an exponential moving
average (EMA) per player. A single slow or fast packet no longer spikes
the playback speed; the EMA converges on the actual send rate (~100 ms)
and absorbs jitter without adding a fixed input-latency penalty.
