Root cause: OpcodeTable::loadFromJson() cleared all mappings before
loading the expansion JSON, so any WotLK opcode absent from Turtle WoW's
opcodes.json (including SMSG_AURA_UPDATE and SMSG_AURA_UPDATE_ALL) was
permanently lost. Changed loadFromJson to patch/merge on top of existing
defaults so only explicitly listed opcodes are overridden.
Also fix isBuff border color: was testing flag 0x02 (effect 2 active)
instead of 0x80 (negative/debuff flag).
Add client-side duration countdown: AuraSlot.receivedAtMs is stamped
when the packet arrives; getRemainingMs(nowMs) subtracts elapsed time so
buff tooltips show accurate remaining duration instead of stale snapshot.
The action bar's inline Spell.dbc loader had a broken field index lookup:
operator[] on the layout map would silently insert 0 if 'Name' wasn't a
key, causing all names to be read from field 0 (the spell ID). Also the
once-only 'attempted' flag meant if assetMgr wasn't ready, it never retried.
Replace the duplicated broken DBC loading in the action bar and buff bar
with SpellbookScreen::lookupSpellName(), which reuses the spellbook's
already-correct loading (expansion layout + WotLK fallback). Remove the
now-unused actionSpellNames/actionSpellDbAttempted/actionSpellDbLoaded fields.
Re-send CMSG_ATTACKSWING every second while auto-attacking so combat
resumes automatically when the server pauses the attack loop (out of
range, etc). Previously the client kept autoAttacking=true but never
re-engaged, requiring the player to manually right-click again.
Also remove leftover single-player/offline references from comments.
SMSG_ATTACKERSTATEUPDATE, SMSG_SPELLNONMELEEDAMAGELOG, and SMSG_SPELLDAMAGELOG
were showing combat text for all combat events in the zone, not just the
player's own fights. Added early-return in all three handlers when neither
the attacker nor target is the player.
Outgoing events (player attacks enemy: damage dealt, Dodge/Parry when enemy
evades) now float on the right side of screen (near target) instead of above
the player character. Incoming events (enemy attacks player) remain at
center-left (near player).
Dodge/Parry labels now show direction: "Dodge"/"Parry" when the enemy evades
the player's attack (outgoing, gray), and "You Dodge"/"You Parry" when the
player evades an incoming attack (cyan). Crit damage now has distinct colors
for outgoing (bright yellow) vs incoming (orange).
- audio_engine.cpp: cache key was based on vector pointer address, not
content — cache never hit since each asset load produces a new
allocation. Replace with FNV-1a over head+tail bytes + size, giving
correct content-based identity at O(1) cost. Add 256-entry cap with
eviction to prevent unbounded growth over long sessions.
- game_handler.hpp/cpp, spellbook_screen, game_screen: knownSpells was
a std::vector with O(n) std::find lookups scattered across packet
handlers and UI code. Switch to std::unordered_set for O(1) insert,
erase, and membership checks. Update all push_back/erase-remove/find
call sites to use set operations.
Turtle/Classic Spell.csv files are garbled (field 0 is a string rather
than a numeric ID) so loadDBC() falls back to the WotLK binary Spell.dbc
(234 fields). getSpellIcon() was still using the Turtle layout (IconID at
field 117) to read the WotLK binary, producing garbage values and no icons.
When the loaded Spell.dbc has >=200 fields it is the WotLK binary; use the
WotLK IconID field (133) directly, matching the same approach already used
in spellbook_screen.cpp.
Previously this opcode was unrecognised and silently dropped, leaving the
client stuck in ENTERING_WORLD with no feedback when the server rejected a
login (duplicate session, world down, disabled race/class, etc.). Now we
decode the LoginFailureReason byte, reset state to CHAR_LIST_RECEIVED so
the player can retry, and surface a red error message on the character screen
via the new CharLoginFailCallback. Also adds isError colour support to
CharacterScreen::setStatus so failures show in red and successes in green.
- Add TurtlePacketParsers with dedicated movement block parser (Classic format + transport timestamp)
- Fix quest giver status: read uint32 and translate vanilla enum values for Classic/Turtle
- Fix quest accept packet: remove trailing uint32 that vanilla servers reject
- Fix quest details parser: auto-detect vanilla vs WotLK format (informUnit field)
- Fix spellbook and action bar icons: fallback to WotLK DBC field indices when expansion layout fails
- Fix spell cast failure messages: translate vanilla SpellCastResult codes (+1 offset)
- Fix realm list: correct type values (6=RP, 8=RP-PvP) and population thresholds
- Fix music: disable looping for zone music, auto-advance to next random track when finished
- Add music anti-repeat: avoid playing the same track back-to-back
- Make TBC update block parsing resilient (keep parsed blocks on failure instead of aborting)
- Add right-click attack on hostile mobs
- Add name query diagnostic logging
CMSG_CHAR_CREATE was silently dropped by the server because the packet
was 4 bytes too short. Wireshark capture of the real 1.12.1 client
revealed 4 trailing zero bytes after outfitId. Also treat IN_PROGRESS
(code 46) as success since Turtle WoW sends it instead of SUCCESS.
- Fix action bar, bag bar, chat window to track window resize (Always pos)
- Show spell names in cast bar instead of spell IDs
- Play precast/cast-complete sounds via SpellSoundManager
- Fix hearthstone to use CMSG_CAST_SPELL directly (avoids slot sync issues)
- Show map name instead of coordinates in hearthstone tooltip
- Show cooldown time remaining in action bar tooltips
- Search equipped slots and bags for action bar item icons
- Redesign realm screen: back button, larger table/buttons, auto-select
realm with characters, double-click to enter, proportional columns
The binary DBC files for all expansions use the same field ordering
(VariationIndex=4, ColorIndex=5, Texture1=6), but classic/tbc/turtle
dbc_layouts.json had swapped texture and variation/color fields, causing
all skin/face/hair/underwear lookups to fail. Also adds generalized
NxN texture scaling and a second video to README.
- Clear introActive/idleOrbit in externalFollow block so mouse panning works during taxi
- Skip full world reload on same-map teleports (taxi landing) by tracking loadedMapId
- Collect all model IDs for a path when resolving gryphon display ID (fixes displayId=0)
- Remove incorrect MountDisplayId fields from Vanilla/Turtle TaxiNodes DBC layouts
- Add Vanilla fly animation IDs (234/229/233) to taxi mount animation candidates
VMaNGOS reads uint32 entry + uint64 guid for CMSG_ITEM_QUERY_SINGLE,
same as WotLK. Removing the GUID caused the server to silently drop
all item queries, leaving equipment with no names or display info.
Replace the "not supported" error message with actual pickup from
equipment slots. Placing equipment items into backpack or bag slots
sends CMSG_SWAP_ITEM to the server.
Use FlyForward/FlyIdle animations (IDs 158/159) for taxi mounts instead
of ground movement animations (Stand/Run). Add detailed mount texture
debug logging and improve fallback texture resolution for gryphon/wyvern
models with multiple skin slots.
Vanilla SMSG_MESSAGECHAT writes senderGuid twice for all standard chat
types. Parser only read one GUID for WHISPER/WHISPER_INFORM, shifting
the read position and causing the server echo filter to fail to match
the player's GUID.
Vanilla CMSG_ITEM_QUERY_SINGLE has no GUID field (just uint32 entry),
causing servers to reject the oversized WotLK-format packets. Also fix
response parser: remove nonexistent statsCount field and use 5 damage
types instead of 2 to match Vanilla protocol.
Rebuild creature display lookups after expansion-specific DBC layout loads
(was using WotLK defaults before turtle layout was available). Add full
drag-and-drop support for bag items with server-side CMSG_SWAP_ITEM packets.
Add Classic-specific SMSG_ITEM_QUERY_SINGLE_RESPONSE parser for Vanilla
format differences (fewer damage types, no scaling stats, no Flags2).
Only show "Your home has been set" when the player actively changes their
bind point (via innkeeper), not on the initial login sync from the server.
Add "Local" to the auto-join channel list for Turtle WoW compatibility,
with a settings checkbox and persistence.
Add 27 new opcodes, packet builders/parsers, handler methods, inventory
extension with 28 bank slots + 7 bank bags, and UI windows for personal
bank, guild bank (6 tabs x 98 slots), and auction house (browse/sell/bid).
Fix Classic gossip parser to omit boxMoney/boxText fields not present in
Vanilla protocol, fix gossip icon labels with text-based NPC type detection,
and add Turtle WoW opcode mappings for bank and auction interactions.
Guild: add disband, leader transfer, public/officer note commands with
roster context menu showing rank names and officer notes column. Auto-refresh
roster after guild events.
Channels: fix city/region channels not working by accepting SMSG_CHANNEL_NOTIFY
during ENTERING_WORLD state (server auto-joins before VERIFY_WORLD) and handling
PLAYER_ALREADY_MEMBER notification.
Whisper: /r now switches to whisper tab and sets target to last sender,
matching WoW behavior.
Camera: extend WMO collision raycasting to work outside WMOs too.
M2 models like OrgrimmarFloatingEmbers and OrgrimmarSmokeEmitter have a
simple box mesh (24 verts, 36 indices) meant only to define particle
emitter bounds. Their blendMode was 0 (opaque), causing them to render
as large grey boxes. Detect these by checking for box geometry with
particle emitters and large bounds (>5 units), then mark as invisible.
Also add ANTIPORTAL and batch-disable flag checks to WMO group filtering.
Fix mailbox right-click (transposed CMSG_GAMEOBJECT_USE opcode, missing
mail opcodes in Turtle WoW JSON, decorative GO type filtering). Add
expansion-aware mail packet handling via PacketParsers: Classic format
(single item, no msgSize prefix, Vanilla field order) vs WotLK format
(attachment arrays, enchant slots). Fix CMSG_MAIL_TAKE_ITEM and
CMSG_MAIL_DELETE for Vanilla (no trailing fields). Add pulsing "New
Mail" indicator below minimap, SMSG_RECEIVED_MAIL and
MSG_QUERY_NEXT_MAIL_TIME handlers, and async sender name backfill.
- Fix FBlock color keys from 3-byte BGR to 4-byte RGBA (CImVector) to
prevent garbled purple/red colors from byte misalignment
- Add circular soft-edge falloff in particle fragment shader (GL_POINTS
rendered as squares by default)
- Apply default gravity (4.0 spray, 1.5 mist) when M2 gravity is 0 since
bone animation from .anim files isn't loaded yet
- Add drift velocity to speed=0 emitters so particles spread as mist
instead of clustering at static bone positions
- Run particle updates for all nearby instances, not just those in
boneWorkIndices_, to prevent particles freezing when bone culled
- Wrap animation time for particle models to keep emission tracks looping
- Cap particle scale to 1.5 and reduce point size multiplier (800→400)
- Desaturate FBlock colors 70% toward white for natural water appearance
- Reduce additive blend alpha to 5% and volume particles to 2%
Defer equipment texture compositing to a queue processed max 1 per frame
instead of compositing immediately on callback (each compositeWithRegions
call does file I/O + CPU blit + GPU upload on the main thread). Reduce
MAX_SPAWNS_PER_FRAME from 96 to 8 and increase inspect rate limit from
0.75s to 2s. Demote noisy per-frame logs to DEBUG level.
clearCompositeCache() now only clears the lookup map without deleting
GPU textures, preventing NPC and other instance textures from being
accidentally destroyed during player equipment changes.
Corrected CharGeosets group assignments verified via vertex bounding boxes:
- Group 4 (401+) = gloves/forearms, Group 5 (501+) = boots/shins,
Group 8 (801+) = sleeves (chest-controlled), Group 9 = kneepads,
Group 13 (1301+) = pants/trousers, Group 20 (2002) = bare feet
- Changed bare shin default from 501 to 502 for better width match
with thigh mesh (0.39 vs 0.32, thighs are 0.42)
- Added clearCompositeCache() to prevent stale composite textures
from being reused across equipment changes
- Fixed character preview geoset defaults to match corrected mapping
Implement full mail send/receive: SMSG_SHOW_MAILBOX, CMSG_GET_MAIL_LIST,
SMSG_MAIL_LIST_RESULT, CMSG_SEND_MAIL, SMSG_SEND_MAIL_RESULT, mail take
money/item/delete/mark-as-read, and inbox/compose UI windows.
Fix periodic stuttering in Stormwind caused by synchronous per-line disk
flushes in the logger — remove fileStream.flush() and std::endl, downgrade
high-volume per-packet/per-model/per-texture LOG_INFO to LOG_DEBUG.
Use authoritative WoW Model Viewer atlas coordinates (256x256 reference)
for face, underwear, and body region placement. Previously all coordinates
were hardcoded at 512x512 scale causing overlays to be clipped on the
256x256 base skin. Also include face upper+lower textures from
CharSections.dbc in compositing for both player and other-player characters.
Fix 9 PopStyleVar(2) calls that should be PopStyleVar(1) across
player frame, target frame, cast bar, party frames, buff bar, escape
menu, death dialog, and resurrect dialog. Fix action bar from
PopStyleVar(2) to PopStyleVar(4) to match 4 pushes.
Fix character geoset defaults: 301→302 (bare hands), 701→702 (ears),
1501→1502 (back/cloak), add 802 (wristbands). No WoW character model
uses geoset 301/701/1501; all use 302/702/1502 as base. This fixes
missing hands/arms on undead and other races with separate hand meshes.
11 original tracks in assets/Original Music/ now play on the login
screen and in thematically matched zones across Eastern Kingdoms and
Kalimdor. Added crossfadeToFile to MusicManager for local file
playback during zone transitions. New zones: Tirisfal, Undercity,
Barrens, STV, Duskwood, Burning Steppes, Searing Gorge, Ironforge,
Loch Modan, Orgrimmar, Durotar, Mulgore, Thunder Bluff, Darkshore,
Teldrassil, Darnassus.
Remove HDPackManager, expansion overlay manifests, and BLP size-comparison
logic. Assets now resolve through a single manifest with a simple override
directory (Data/override/) for future HD upgrades.
CMaNGOS-Classic writes senderGuid twice for SAY/PARTY/YELL messages.
Our parser only read one, causing the second GUID bytes to be consumed
as messageLen, resulting in empty/garbage message text and no sender
name. Also fix MONSTER_SAY/MONSTER_YELL which have a leading
senderGuid before the name that we were skipping.
SpellCastTargets target mask is uint16 in vanilla 1.12.x, not uint32
like WotLK. The 2 extra bytes corrupted every spell packet. Also add
classic CMSG_USE_ITEM builder (bag+slot+spellIndex+targets only, no
spellId/itemGuid/glyphIndex/castFlags fields that WotLK added).
When the taxi node ID from the server isn't in TaxiNodes.dbc (custom
server nodes, missing data), fall back to hardcoded gryphon/wyvern
display IDs so the player still appears mounted during flight.
- Skip WMO batches with material flags F_SIDN (0x20) or F_WINDOW (0x40)
which are transparent sky/window panes that render as grey curtains
- Fix /unstuck: always nudge 5 units forward first, then sample floor at
destination instead of teleporting back to last safe position (which
could be the stuck location itself)
