SMSG_SPELL_START fires for all units, not just the player. Previously only
the player's own cast was tracked; now we also track when the current
target is casting, enabling interrupt decisions.
- GameHandler: track targetCasting_/targetCastSpellId_/targetCastTimeTotal_
/targetCastTimeRemaining_ — updated by SMSG_SPELL_START for the current
target and ticked down in the update loop each frame
- Target cast cleared when: target changes (setTarget), target's spell
lands (SMSG_SPELL_GO), or cast timer expires naturally
- game_screen: renderTargetFrame shows a red cast progress bar between
the power bar and distance line when the target is casting, with
spell name + remaining seconds
- Public accessors: isTargetCasting(), getTargetCastSpellId(),
getTargetCastProgress(), getTargetCastTimeRemaining()
Renders a compact top-centre overlay showing Alliance vs Horde scores
when the player is in a recognised battleground map. Score values are
read directly from the world state map maintained by SMSG_INIT_WORLD_STATES
and SMSG_UPDATE_WORLD_STATE, so no extra server packets are needed.
Supported maps:
489 – Warsong Gulch (flag captures, max 3)
529 – Arathi Basin (resources, max 1600)
30 – Alterac Valley (reinforcements, max 600)
566 – Eye of the Storm (resources, max 1600)
607 – Strand of Ancients
When a player releases spirit, the server sends SMSG_DEATH_RELEASE_LOC
with the corpse map and position. Store this so the ghost can reclaim.
New flow:
- SMSG_DEATH_RELEASE_LOC now stores corpseMapId_/corpseX_/Y_/Z_ instead
of logging and discarding
- canReclaimCorpse(): true when ghost is on same map within 40 yards of
stored corpse position
- reclaimCorpse(): sends CMSG_RECLAIM_CORPSE (no payload)
- renderReclaimCorpseButton(): shows "Resurrect from Corpse" button at
bottom-center when canReclaimCorpse() is true
Two bugs fixed:
1. acceptResurrect() was always sending CMSG_SPIRIT_HEALER_ACTIVATE even
for player-cast resurrections (Priest/Paladin/Druid). That opcode is
only the correct response to SMSG_SPIRIT_HEALER_CONFIRM. For
SMSG_RESURRECT_REQUEST the server expects CMSG_RESURRECT_RESPONSE
with accept=1. Added resurrectIsSpiritHealer_ to track which path
triggered the dialog and send the right packet per type.
2. The resurrect dialog showed a generic "Return to life?" string
regardless of who cast the resurrection. Parse the optional CString
name from SMSG_RESURRECT_REQUEST (or fall back to playerNameCache)
and display "X wishes to resurrect you." when the caster is known.
Hang/GPU device lost fix:
- M2_INSTANCES and WMO_INSTANCES finalization phases now create instances
incrementally (32 per step / 4 per step) instead of all at once, eliminating
the >1s main-thread stalls that caused GPU fence timeouts and device loss
M2 two-pass transparent rendering:
- Opaque/alpha-test batches render in pass 1, transparent/additive in pass 2
(back-to-front sorted) to fix wing transparency showing terrain instead of
trees — adds hasTransparentBatches flag to skip models with no transparency
Tile streaming improvements:
- Sort new load queue entries nearest-first so critical tiles load before
distant ones during fast taxi flight
- Increase taxi load radius 6→8 tiles, unload 9→12 for better coverage
Water refraction gated on FSR:
- Disable water refraction when FSR is not active (bugged without upscaling)
- Auto-disable refraction if FSR is turned off while refraction was on
- SMSG_SPELLDAMAGESHIELD: parse victim/caster/damage fields and show SPELL_DAMAGE
combat text for player-relevant events (damage shields like Thorns)
- SMSG_SPELLORDAMAGE_IMMUNE: parse packed caster/victim guids and show new
IMMUNE combat text type when player is involved in an immunity event
- Add CombatTextEntry::IMMUNE type to spell_defines.hpp and render it as
white "Immune!" in the combat text overlay
- handleCompressedMoves: add MSG_MOVE_* routing so SMSG_MULTIPLE_MOVES
sub-packets (player movement batches) are dispatched to handleOtherPlayerMovement
instead of logged as unhandled; fix runtime-opcode lookup (non-static array)
Socket fixes (fixes Windows-only connection failure):
- WorldSocket::connect() now waits for non-blocking connect to complete with
select() before returning, preventing WSAENOTCONN on the first recv() call
on Windows (Linux handles this implicitly but Windows requires writability
poll after non-blocking connect)
- Add net::isConnectionClosed() helper: treats WSAENOTCONN/WSAECONNRESET/
WSAESHUTDOWN/WSAECONNABORTED as graceful peer-close rather than recv errors
- Apply isConnectionClosed() in both WorldSocket and TCPSocket recv loops
UI:
- Add renderBossFrames(): displays boss unit health bars in top-right corner
when SMSG_UPDATE_INSTANCE_ENCOUNTER_UNIT has active slots; supports
click-to-target and color-coded health bars (red→orange→yellow as HP drops)
Game object M2 models share the same default facing (+renderX) as
character models, so apply the same π/2 offset instead of π when
computing renderYawM2go from canonical yaw. This corrects street signs
and hanging shop signs that were 90° off after the server-yaw formula
fix.
Nameplates (health bar + name label) are now only rendered for the
currently targeted entity, matching WoW's default UI behaviour and
reducing visual noise.
Parse SMSG_RESYNC_RUNES, SMSG_ADD_RUNE_POWER, and SMSG_CONVERT_RUNE to
track the state of all 6 DK runes (Blood/Unholy/Frost/Death type,
ready flag, and cooldown fraction). Render a six-square rune bar below
the Runic Power bar when the player is class 6, with per-type colors
(Blood=red, Unholy=green, Frost=blue, Death=purple) and client-side
fill animation so runes visibly refill over the 10s cooldown.
Death Knights with runic power (type 6) had no power bar visible until the
server explicitly sent UNIT_FIELD_MAXPOWER1, because the type-6 max was not
included in the 'assume 100' fallback. Runic Power has a fixed cap of 100,
same as Rage (1), Focus (2), and Energy (3).
coordinates.hpp: serverToCanonicalYaw now computes s - π/2 instead of π/2 - s.
The codebase uses atan2(-dy, dx) as its canonical yaw convention, where server
direction (cos s, sin s) in (server_X, server_Y) becomes (sin s, cos s) in
canonical after the X/Y swap, giving atan2(-cos s, sin s) = s - π/2.
canonicalToServerYaw is updated as its proper inverse: c + π/2.
The old formula (π/2 - s) was self-inverse and gave the wrong east/west facing
for any NPC not pointing north or south.
game_screen.cpp: Nameplate NDC→screen Y no longer double-inverts. The camera
bakes the Vulkan Y-flip into the projection matrix (NDC y=-1 = screen top,
y=+1 = screen bottom), so sy = (ndc.y*0.5 + 0.5) * screenH is correct.
The previous formula subtracted from 1.0 which reflected nameplates vertically.
When in a group, push the pet frame below the party frame stack
(120px + members × 52px). When solo, keep it at y=125 (just below
the player frame at ~110px).
Shows active pet name, level, health bar, and power bar (mana/focus/rage/energy)
when the player has an active pet. Clicking the pet name targets it. A Dismiss
button sends CMSG_PET_ACTION to dismiss the pet. Frame uses green border to
visually distinguish it from the player/target frames.
- Implement SMSG_ENVIRONMENTAL_DAMAGE_LOG: show fall/lava/fire/drowning
damage as ENVIRONMENTAL combat text (orange -N) for the local player
- Color nameplate unit names: hostile units red, non-hostile yellow
(matches WoW's standard red=enemy / yellow=neutral convention)
XP gain was previously shown as a HEAL entry (green +N) which conflates
it with actual healing. New XP_GAIN type renders as purple '+N XP' in the
outgoing column, matching WoW's floating XP style.
Focus (2, orange), Happiness (4, green), Runic Power (6, crimson), and
Soul Shards (7, purple) were falling through to the default blue colour.
Applied consistently to the player frame, target frame, and party frames.
When an aura has more than 1 charge, render the count in gold in the
upper-left corner of the icon (with drop shadow) — same position as WoW's
stack counter. Applied to both the player buff bar and target frame auras.
Polls the renderer's currentZoneName each frame and triggers a 5-second
fade-in/hold/fade-out toast at the upper-centre of screen when the zone
changes. Matches WoW's standard zone transition display.
Prefix each nameplate name with the unit's level number. When the unit
is more than 10 levels above the player (skull-equivalent) display '??'
instead of the raw level, matching WoW's UI convention.
For each visible Unit entity within 40 yards, projects the canonical WoW
position (converted to render space) through the camera view-projection
matrix to screen pixels. Draws a health bar (hostile=red, friendly=green,
target=gold border) and name label with drop shadow using ImGui's background
draw list. Fades out smoothly in the last 5 yards of range.
Parse SPELLENERGIZELOG (victim/caster packed GUIDs + spellId + powerType +
amount) and emit ENERGIZE combat text for mana/energy gains. Add ENERGIZE
to CombatTextEntry::Type enum (blue +N text).
Also add explicit renderCombatText cases for BLOCK, PERIODIC_DAMAGE,
PERIODIC_HEAL, and ENVIRONMENTAL — previously all fell through to the
colourless default handler.
Shows the name and health bar of whoever your current target is
targeting. Reads UNIT_FIELD_TARGET_LO/HI update fields which are
populated from SMSG_UPDATE_OBJECT. Frame is positioned below and
right-aligned with the main target frame.
Matches the same fix applied to the player buff bar: icons in the
target frame now show their remaining duration at the icon bottom edge
with a drop shadow, shared between the always-visible overlay and the
hover tooltip.
Icons now show remaining time (e.g. "1:30", "45") rendered directly
on the icon bottom edge with a drop shadow, matching WoW's standard
buff display. Tooltip still shows full name + seconds on hover.
Deduplicates the nowMs/remainMs computation that was previously
recomputed in the tooltip-only path.
