Aura icons on the player buff bar and the target frame now display a
WoW-style dark fan overlay that sweeps clockwise as the buff/debuff
elapses, providing instant visual feedback on remaining duration.
The sweep uses AuraSlot::maxDurationMs / getRemainingMs() — the same
data that already drives the numeric countdown — so no new state is
required. Only temporary auras (maxDurationMs > 0) show a sweep;
permanent buffs remain unaffected.
Add gold diamond markers for every flight master the player has already
discovered (knownTaxiMask_), read from TaxiNodes.dbc and filtered to the
current continent/map being displayed:
- WorldMapTaxiNode struct carries canonical WoW coords + known flag
- WorldMap::setTaxiNodes() accepts the per-frame list from game_screen
- renderImGuiOverlay() projects each known node to UV, draws a gold
diamond (AddQuadFilled) with a dark outline, and shows the node name
as a tooltip on hover
- GameHandler::isKnownTaxiNode(id) checks knownTaxiMask_[] efficiently
- Markers update live — newly discovered nodes appear without reopening
the map
Add GLANCING (hitInfo 0x800) and CRUSHING (hitInfo 0x1000) as distinct
combat text types so players see mechanics feedback they expect from
Classic/TBC content:
- Glancing: shown as "~{amount}" in muted yellow/red; "glances for N" in
the combat log
- Crushing: shown as "{amount}!" in bright orange/red; "crushes for N!"
in the combat log
Both types are counted toward DPS meter accumulation. AttackerStateUpdateData
gains isGlancing()/isCrushing() helpers alongside the existing isCrit()/isMiss().
loadSpellVisualDbc() now builds two distinct maps:
spellVisualCastPath_ — visualId → M2 via SpellVisual.CastKit chain
spellVisualImpactPath_ — visualId → M2 via SpellVisual.ImpactKit chain
playSpellVisual() accepts useImpactKit=false (default, cast) / true (impact).
SMSG_PLAY_SPELL_IMPACT passes useImpactKit=true so impact effects (explosions,
debuff indicators) use the ImpactKit model instead of the CastKit model.
Added ImpactKit field to all four dbc_layouts.json files.
SMSG_PLAY_SPELL_IMPACT has a different wire format from SMSG_PLAY_OBJECT_SOUND:
it carries uint64 targetGuid + uint32 visualId (same as SMSG_PLAY_SPELL_VISUAL),
not uint32 soundId + uint64 sourceGuid.
Previously both were handled together, causing the target GUID low-bytes to be
misread as a sound ID and the visualId to be missed entirely.
Now each handler parses its own format correctly. SMSG_PLAY_SPELL_IMPACT resolves
the target entity position and calls playSpellVisual() to spawn the M2 impact effect
at that location.
Parse SMSG_PLAY_SPELL_VISUAL (casterGuid + visualId) and spawn a
transient M2 spell effect at the caster's world position.
DBC chain: SpellVisual.dbc → SpellVisualKit.dbc → SpellVisualEffectName.dbc
Lookup priority: CastKit.SpecialEffect0, fallback to MissileModel.
Models are lazy-loaded and cached by path; instances auto-expire after 3.5s.
DBC layouts added to all four expansion layout files (Classic/TBC/WotLK/Turtle).
Add addUIError() for remaining error-only chat-message cases:
- SMSG_BARBER_SHOP_RESULT non-zero result (not enough money, wrong
location, must stand up)
- SMSG_NPC_WONT_TALK ("That creature can't talk to you right now")
- SMSG_LFG_AUTOJOIN_FAILED and SMSG_LFG_AUTOJOIN_FAILED_NO_PLAYER
Completes the UIError improvement pass: all server-reported failure
events now surface as the red on-screen overlay, not chat-only.
Add addUIError() alongside addSystemChatMessage() for:
- SMSG_CHAT_WRONG_FACTION / SMSG_CHAT_NOT_IN_PARTY / SMSG_CHAT_RESTRICTED
- SMSG_LFG_JOIN_RESULT failure, LFG proposal failure (state=0), LFG
role check missing-role failure
- SMSG_AUCTION_COMMAND_RESULT error cases (bid/post/cancel/buyout)
- SMSG_PLAYERBINDERROR (hearthstone not bound / bind failed)
- SMSG_READ_ITEM_FAILED
- SMSG_PET_NAME_INVALID
Consistent with the rest of the error-overlay pass: players now see
these failures as the red on-screen overlay text, not just in chat.
- SMSG_TRANSFER_ABORTED: all zone/instance portal rejection reasons shown as UIError
(expansion required, instance full, too many instances, zone in combat, etc.)
- handleGroupUninvite: "You have been removed from the group." now shown as UIError
- handlePartyCommandResult: all party errors (group full, not leader, wrong faction,
ignoring you, etc.) now also shown as UIError overlay
- Fishing bobber splash: "A fish is on your line!" shown as UIError (time-critical)
- SMSG_BATTLEFIELD_PORT_DENIED: shown as UIError
- SMSG_INSTANCE_RESET_FAILED: failure reason shown as UIError
- SMSG_GROUP_DESTROYED: "Party disbanded" shown as UIError
- SMSG_CORPSE_NOT_IN_INSTANCE: shown as UIError
- SMSG_ZONE_UNDER_ATTACK: "[Zone] is under attack!" shown as UIError
- SMSG_AREA_TRIGGER_MESSAGE: zone/area entry messages shown as UIError
- SMSG_TRAINER_BUY_FAILED: "Cannot learn [spell]" now appears as red overlay
- SMSG_RESURRECT_FAILED: all resurrection failure reasons shown as UIError
- SMSG_BINDZONEREPLY error: "Too far from innkeeper" shown as UIError
- SMSG_CHANGEPLAYER_DIFFICULTY_RESULT error: reason shown as UIError
- SMSG_INVENTORY_CHANGE_FAILURE case 1: level-gated equip error now calls
addUIError before the early break, matching all other inventory error paths
SMSG_BUY_FAILED ("Not enough money", "Sold out", etc.) and
SMSG_SELL_ITEM non-zero results now call addUIError() so the error
appears on screen alongside the chat message.
Several server-reported action failures were posting to chat only
without firing the red on-screen UIError overlay:
- SMSG_INVENTORY_CHANGE_FAILURE: bag full, wrong slot, can't equip, etc.
- SMSG_MOUNTRESULT / SMSG_DISMOUNTRESULT: mount denied errors
- SMSG_QUESTLOG_FULL: quest log at capacity
- SMSG_SOCKET_GEMS_RESULT: gem socketing failure
All now call addUIError() in addition to addSystemChatMessage() so
players see the error immediately on screen without looking at chat.
handleCastFailed was only posting to chat; now also calls addUIError
so mid-cast server rejections (e.g. "Interrupted") show the same red
on-screen overlay as SMSG_CAST_RESULT failures already did.
Hovering over Armor, primary stats (Strength/Agility/Stamina/
Intellect/Spirit), and secondary rating stats now shows a brief
description of the stat's in-game effect — matching WoW's native
character screen behavior.
Uses ImGui::BeginGroup/EndGroup to make multi-widget rows (stat +
green bonus) respond to a single IsItemHovered check.
Chat item link tooltips now show "Heroic" (green) for items with
ITEM_FLAG_HEROIC_TOOLTIP (0x8) and "Unique-Equipped" for items with
ITEM_FLAG_UNIQUE_EQUIPPABLE (0x1000000), matching InventoryScreen.
"Unique" text is now gold-colored to match as well.
Chat item link tooltips now show per-school elemental resistances
(Holy/Fire/Nature/Frost/Shadow/Arcane) when non-zero, matching the
inventory tooltip. Spell effect text (Use/Equip/Chance on Hit) now
shows the full spell description instead of just the spell name,
consistent with InventoryScreen::renderItemTooltip.
Chat item link tooltips now match InventoryScreen for required-skill
(SkillLine.dbc), required-reputation (Faction.dbc), class restriction,
and race restriction. Red text when the player does not meet the
requirement, grey otherwise.
Chat link tooltips (hover over item links in chat) were missing item set
information already shown in the inventory tooltip. Now shows:
- Set name with equipped/total piece count (e.g. "Tier 9 (2/5)")
- Each set bonus with its piece-threshold, colored green when active
and grey when inactive
- Falls back to "Set (id N)" when ItemSet.dbc is unavailable
Lazy-loads ItemSet.dbc on first hover; consistent with
InventoryScreen::renderItemTooltip formatting.
Item tooltips shown when hovering chat links already displayed all stats,
spells, and flavor text, but gem sockets were missing. Add the same
socket rendering used in the inventory tooltip:
- Iterate socketColor[0..2]; for each non-zero slot show a colored label
(Meta / Red / Yellow / Blue Socket) in the socket's faction color
- Lazy-load SpellItemEnchantment.dbc to resolve the socketBonus enchant
name; fall back to "(id N)" when the record is not found
- Consistent with InventoryScreen::renderItemTooltip formatting
Weather type and intensity are already tracked from SMSG_WEATHER, but
only an icon was shown next to the zone name. This adds a fullscreen
ImDrawList overlay that renders:
- Rain (type 1): diagonal rain streaks proportional to intensity
- Snow (type 2): gently swaying snowflakes with two-tone highlight
- Storm (type 3): heavy rain + dark fog-vignette on screen edges
Particles wrap at screen boundaries and are re-seeded on type or
resolution change. Delta time is capped at 50 ms to prevent teleporting
after focus loss. No heap allocations at runtime (static local arrays).
Pet spell buttons now dim and display remaining cooldown time when a
spell is on cooldown, matching the feedback available on the player
action bar. Clicking a pet spell while it is on cooldown is also
suppressed to prevent spam-sending CMSG_PET_ACTION to the server.
Cooldown time appears as a text overlay (seconds or "Nm" for minutes)
and is also shown in the hover tooltip.
When nextLevelXp==0 and playerLevel>0, render a gold fully-filled bar
with centered "Max Level" text instead of hiding the XP bar entirely.
Fixes missing closing brace that caused all subsequent methods to fail
compilation.
Ctrl+1, Ctrl+2, Ctrl+3 (up to Ctrl+8 for Druids with many forms) now
cast the Nth available stance spell for classes that use a stance bar.
Ordering matches the stance bar UI so visual and keyboard positions align.
Normal action bar keys 1–= are skipped when Ctrl is held to prevent
accidental spell casts instead of stance switches.
Renders a stance bar to the left of the main action bar showing the
player's known stance spells filtered to only those they have learned:
- Warrior: Battle Stance, Defensive Stance, Berserker Stance
- Death Knight: Blood Presence, Frost Presence, Unholy Presence
- Druid: Bear/Dire Bear, Cat, Travel, Aquatic, Moonkin, Tree, Flight forms
- Rogue: Stealth
- Priest: Shadowform
Active form detected from permanent player auras (maxDurationMs == -1).
Clicking an inactive stance casts the corresponding spell. Active stance
shown with green border/tint; inactive stances are slightly dimmed.
Spell name tooltips shown on hover using existing SpellbookScreen lookup.
When shift-hovering an item link in chat to compare with equipped gear,
also display extra stats (hit/crit/haste/AP/SP/expertise) for the
currently-equipped item, matching what is shown for the hovered item.
Display item description (flavor text) from SMSG_ITEM_QUERY_SINGLE_RESPONSE
at the bottom of item tooltips in gold color, matching WoW's standard
tooltip layout where lore text appears below stats and effects.
Display Use, Equip, Chance on Hit, and Teaches spell effects from
SMSG_ITEM_QUERY_SINGLE_RESPONSE in item tooltips. Looks up spell
name from Spell.dbc via SpellbookScreen for readable descriptions.
Display all ExtraStat entries from SMSG_ITEM_QUERY_SINGLE_RESPONSE in
the item tooltip (hit rating, crit rating, haste, spell power, attack
power, expertise, resilience, etc.). These were previously silently
discarded, making WotLK/TBC gear tooltips incomplete.
Add standard WoW tooltip fields that were previously missing:
- Bind type (Binds when picked up/equipped/used, Quest Item)
- Unique indicator
- Item Level XX
- Weapon damage range (e.g. '22 - 41 Damage Speed 2.20') replacing bare DPS
- Damage per second sub-line in dimmed text
- Requires Level XX
Show '+X Honor' floating text in gold when SMSG_PVP_CREDIT is received,
matching WoW's native behavior. Also add HONOR_GAIN to the combat log
panel for a complete record. Previously only a chat message was added.
REFLECT entries already stored the reflected spell ID but the floating
text display showed only "Reflected"/"You Reflect" without the name.
Now shows "Reflected: Fireball" or "Reflect: Frost Nova", matching the
pattern already used by INTERRUPT, DISPEL, and STEAL entries.
Consistent with the target frame fix: focus targets with level 0
(unknown/?? mobs) now show skull-red instead of grey, and display
"Lv ??" instead of "Lv 0".
Level 0 in the update fields means the server hasn't sent or
the mob is undetectable (e.g. high-level raid bosses). Previously
these were colored grey (no-XP path) and displayed "Lv 0". Now
they correctly show skull-red and display "Lv ??" to match WoW.
Replace the static filled circle with a red triangle arrow that
rotates to match the character's current facing direction.
Uses the same render-space yaw convention as the 3D scene so
the arrow matches in-world orientation.
Extend the existing out-of-range check to cover ITEM slots whose
inventory type is Ranged (bow/gun/crossbow, 40 yd), RangedRight
(wand, 40 yd), or Thrown (30 yd). The check runs after barItemDef
is resolved so the inventory type is available.
The bump-pointer allocator never reused freed blocks, causing the 16 MB
emulated heap to exhaust in long sessions even when blocks were freed.
- First-fit reuse from a free-list before advancing the bump pointer
- Coalesce adjacent free blocks to limit fragmentation
- Roll back the bump pointer when the top free block reaches it
- Reset allocator state on initialize() so re-runs start clean
- Add MT/MA/Asst badges to party frames (matching raid frame treatment)
- Clear learnedTalents_ on SMSG_TALENTS_INVOLUNTARILY_RESET so the
talent screen stays accurate after a server-side talent wipe
Render "MT" (orange), "MA" (blue), and "A" (light blue) in the
bottom-left of each raid cell using member flags from SMSG_GROUP_LIST
and SMSG_REAL_GROUP_UPDATE (bits 0x02/0x04/0x01). Complements the
existing LFG role badges at bottom-right.
Parse group type, member flags, and leader GUID instead of silently
discarding the packet. Updates partyData so group frames reflect
role changes and leadership transitions in real time.
Prevents unbounded GPU memory growth in long play sessions where the player
visits many zones. Tiles are inserted into a FIFO deque; when the count of
successfully-loaded tiles exceeds MAX_TILE_CACHE (128), the oldest entry is
destroyed and removed from both the cache map and the deque.
At 256×256×4 bytes per tile this caps minimap GPU usage at ~32 MB.
Add buildItemLink() helper that formats |cff...|Hitem:...|h[Name]|h|r links so
the chat renderer draws item names in their quality colour (grey/white/green/
blue/purple/orange) with a small icon and tooltip on hover.
Applied to: loot received (SMSG_ITEM_PUSH_RESULT), looted from corpse
(handleLootRemoved), quest item count updates, and all three auction
house notifications (sold, outbid, expired).
