The player's own cast bar now uses spell-school-based colors for quick
identification: Fire=orange-red, Frost=icy blue, Shadow=purple,
Arcane=violet, Nature=green, Holy=golden, Physical=gold. Channels
remain blue regardless of school. Adds getSpellSchoolMask() using the
already-loaded Spell.dbc cache (schoolMask field, covering all
expansions including Classic SchoolEnum→bitmask conversion).
When the player dies and releases spirit, the world map now renders a
bone-white X cross at the corpse's location (matching the existing
minimap skull marker). The marker appears only when the player is a
ghost with an unclaimed corpse on the same map, and shows a "Your
corpse" tooltip on hover. Implemented via setCorpsePos() on WorldMap,
called from renderWorldMap() using getCorpseCanonicalPos().
Load AttributesEx from Spell.dbc for all expansions (Classic/TBC/WotLK/
Turtle). Check SPELL_ATTR_EX_NOT_INTERRUPTIBLE (bit 4 = 0x10) to classify
each cast as interruptible or not when SMSG_SPELL_START arrives.
Target frame and nameplate cast bars now use:
- Green: spell can be interrupted by Kick/Counterspell/Pummel etc.
- Red: spell is immune to interrupt (boss abilities, instant-cast effects)
Both colors pulse faster at >80% completion to signal the closing window.
Adds GameHandler::isSpellInterruptible() and UnitCastState::interruptible.
Previously the "Entering: [Zone]" overlay only triggered when the terrain
renderer loaded a new map. Now it also fires whenever worldStateZoneId_
changes (sent by the server via SMSG_INIT_WORLD_STATES on each zone
crossing), giving correct "Entering: Ironforge", "Entering: Wailing
Caverns" etc. display for sub-zones and dungeon entries without requiring
a full map reload.
- Added lastKnownWorldStateZoneId_ to track server-reported zone changes
- renderZoneText() now takes GameHandler& to access getWorldStateZoneId()
and getWhoAreaName() for name lookup via WorldMapArea.dbc cache
- Renderer zone name still checked as a fallback for map-level transitions
- Both sources de-duplicate to avoid triggering the same text twice
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.
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).
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).
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
TBC 2.4.3 SMSG_MESSAGECHAT has no senderGuid(u64) or unknown(u32)
prefix before type-specific data. The WotLK base parser reads these
12 bytes unconditionally, causing complete misalignment of all chat
message fields — every chat message on a TBC server would parse
garbage for sender, channel, and message content.
TBC 2.4.3 SMSG_GAMEOBJECT_QUERY_RESPONSE has 2 extra strings after
name[4] (iconName + castBarCaption). WotLK has 3 (adds unk1). Without
this override, the WotLK parser's third readString() consumed bytes
from the data[24] fields, corrupting game object type-specific data
and breaking interactions with doors, chests, mailboxes, and
transports on TBC servers.
TBC 2.4.3 sends quest giver status as uint32 (like Classic), not uint8
(WotLK). Without this override, reading uint8 consumed only 1 of 4
bytes, misaligning all subsequent packet data and breaking quest
markers on NPCs.
TBC channel join/leave packets use Classic format (name+password only).
The WotLK base prepends channelId/hasVoice/joinedByZone, causing
servers to reject the malformed packets and breaking channel features.
TBC 2.4.3 SMSG_GUILD_ROSTER has the same rank structure as WotLK
(variable rankCount + goldLimit + bank tab permissions), but does NOT
include a gender byte per member (WotLK added it). Without this
override, TBC fell through to the WotLK parser which read a spurious
gender byte, causing every subsequent field in each member entry to
misalign.
Fall, lava, drowning, fatigue, slime, and fire damage now display their
specific type instead of generic "Environmental damage" in both floating
combat text and the combat log window. The envType byte from
SMSG_ENVIRONMENTAL_DAMAGE_LOG is propagated via the powerType field to
the display layer. Added powerType to CombatLogEntry for consistent
access in the persistent combat log.
Other players on transports (boats, zeppelins, trams) were not properly
tracked because handleOtherPlayerMovement() did not read transport data
from MSG_MOVE_* packets. This caused entities to slide off transports
between movement updates since no transport attachment was established.
Now reads the transport GUID and local offset from the packet using
expansion-aware wire flags (0x200 for WotLK/TBC, 0x02000000 for
Classic/Turtle), registers a transport attachment so the entity follows
the transport smoothly via updateAttachedTransportChildren(), and clears
the attachment when the player disembarks.
SMSG_LOOT_RESPONSE items include randomSuffix and randomPropertyId
fields across all expansions, not just WotLK. Using 14-byte size for
Classic/TBC caused item data to be read at wrong offsets.
Remove stray X-flip in minimap display shader that mirrored the map
horizontally (West on right instead of East). Fix arrow rotation
fallback path (missing negation) and add character-facing-relative
arrow in rotateWithCamera mode.
Compact key ring: 24px slots in 8-column grid, only show rows with
items, hide when empty. Add Show Key Ring toggle in Settings with
persistence.
The sync path's MODULE handler was returning 0x01 (module found) for
unwanted cheat DLLs (WPESPY, TAMIA, PRXDRVPE, etc.) instead of 0x00
(not found). Since VMaNGOS compares the result as a boolean, returning
any non-zero value for a cheat module tells the server "this cheat DLL
is loaded," triggering Warden penalties that accumulate into a kick
after ~3-5 minutes.
Also adds ±4KB hint window search to searchCodePattern for faster
PAGE_A resolution without full brute-force, and restores the turtle
PAGE_A fallback (confirmed patterns are runtime-patched offsets not
present in the on-disk PE).
Terrain pool 16384→65536, WMO pool 8192→32768. The previous sizes
were too small for the load/unload radii, causing pool exhaustion
and a hard crash when streaming terrain on large maps.
Sending a wrong hash to AzerothCore/WotLK servers triggers an
account ban. When no pre-computed challenge-response entry matches
the server seed, skip the response entirely so the server times out
with a kick (recoverable) instead of verifying a bad hash and
banning (unrecoverable). Turtle/Classic servers remain unchanged
as they only log Warden failures.
Also adds RX silence detection and fixes Turtle isTurtle flag
propagation in MEM_CHECK path.
Move 5-second brute-force HMAC-SHA1 code pattern searches to a
background thread via std::async. The main loop now detects PAGE_A/B
checks, launches the response builder async, and drains the result
in update() — encrypting and sending on the main thread to keep
wardenCrypto_ RC4 state thread-safe.
Also adds Turtle WoW PE binary support (isTurtle flag, dedicated exe
search, runtime patches), searchCodePattern with result caching,
writeLE32 public API, and Warden scan entry verification.
