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.
warden_emulator.cpp: guard unicorn include + entire implementation with
HAVE_UNICORN; provide stub implementations for platforms without Unicorn
(Windows ARM64 which has no unicorn MSYS2 package)
warden_module.cpp: include <windows.h> for VirtualAlloc/HMODULE/etc on
Windows; always include warden_emulator.hpp so unique_ptr destructor compiles
regardless of HAVE_UNICORN
world_packets.hpp + game_handler.cpp: rename CharCreateResult::ERROR to
CharCreateResult::CHAR_ERROR to avoid wingdi.h #define ERROR 0 collision
- logger.cpp: use localtime_s on Windows (reversed arg order vs localtime_r)
- process.hpp: drop constexpr on INVALID_PROCESS (INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE is a
reinterpret_cast, not valid in constexpr context)
- world_packets.hpp: push/pop ERROR macro around CharCreateResult enum to avoid
clash with wingdi.h #define ERROR 0
- parse and cache item class/subclass, damage range, and attack delay from item query responses
- render weapon damage, speed, and DPS in the shared item-link tooltip
- render weapon damage, speed, and DPS in vendor hover tooltips
- keep armor and primary stat lines intact
- send CMSG_BUY_ITEM as vendorGuid + itemId + count (drop extra slot/bag fields)
- reset vendor list state before parsing SMSG_LIST_INVENTORY to prevent stale items carrying over
- add packet length guards for list-inventory header and per-item rows
- keep optional extended-cost parsing for cross-core compatibility
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.
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.

Fix WotLK chat parser not stripping null terminators from messages,
fix channel message local echo missing channelName, expand default
channels to General/Trade/LocalDefense/LookingForGroup with
configurable auto-join, add Classic packet format for join/leave
channel, display channel index prefix in chat, and add Chat settings
tab with timestamps, font size, and auto-join toggles.
Guild O tab: fallback to character guildId when guildName_ not yet
queried, re-query guild info on roster open. /who: add missing
stringCount field and fix maxLevel default (0→100). /inspect: add
SMSG_INSPECT_TALENT opcode (0x3F4) and rewrite parser for WotLK
PackedGUID+talent format. Character preview: reset all tracking
variables in setAssetManager() to force model reload on login.
Chat tabs filter messages into General/Combat/Whispers/Trade tabs. Text
emotes now send CMSG_TEXT_EMOTE to server and display incoming emotes
from other players. Channel system auto-joins General/Trade on login with
/join, /leave, and /1-/9 shortcuts. Chat bubbles render as ImGui overlays
above entities for SAY/YELL messages with fade-out animation.
- Parse vanilla M2 animation tracks (flat arrays with M2Range indices)
instead of skipping them, fixing T-pose on all vanilla models
- Use C4Quaternion (float[4]) for vanilla bone rotations instead of
CompressedQuat (int16[4]) which produced garbage transforms

- Remove broken CharSections.csv files (all fields marked as strings)
- Expansion data reload on profile switch (DBC cache clear, layout reload)
- Vanilla packet encryption (VanillaCrypt XOR-based header crypt)
- Extended character preview geoset range (0-99) for vanilla models
- DBC cache clear support in AssetManager
Replace hardcoded WotLK protocol constants with a data-driven architecture
supporting Classic 1.12.1, TBC 2.4.3, and WotLK 3.3.5a. Each expansion
has JSON profiles for opcodes, update fields, and DBC layouts, plus C++
polymorphic packet parsers for binary format differences (movement flags,
speed fields, transport data, spline format, char enum layout).
Key components:
- ExpansionRegistry: scans Data/expansions/*/expansion.json at startup
- OpcodeTable: logical enum <-> wire values loaded from JSON
- UpdateFieldTable: field indices loaded from JSON per expansion
- DBCLayout: schema-driven DBC field lookups replacing magic numbers
- PacketParsers: WotLK/TBC/Classic parsers with correct flag positions
- Multi-manifest AssetManager: layered manifests with priority ordering
- HDPackManager: overlay texture packs with expansion compatibility
- Auth screen expansion picker replacing hardcoded version dropdown
- Added transport fields to MovementInfo struct (transportGuid, transportX/Y/Z/O, transportTime)
- Updated MovementPacket::build() to serialize transport data when ONTRANSPORT flag set
- Modified GameHandler::sendMovement() to include transport info when player on transport
- Fixed coordinate conversion for transport offsets (server↔canonical)
- Added transport tracking in both CREATE_OBJECT and MOVEMENT update handlers
- Connected M2Renderer to WMORenderer for hierarchical doodad transforms
- Server-authoritative transport movement (no client-side animation)
Issue: Server not sending MOVEMENT updates for transports, so they remain stationary.
Transports register successfully but don't animate without server position updates.
Network Protocol:
- Add SMSG_TALENTS_INFO (0x4C0) packet parsing for talent data
- Add CMSG_LEARN_TALENT (0x251) to request learning talents
- Add MSG_TALENT_WIPE_CONFIRM (0x2AB) opcode for spec switching
- Parse talent spec, unspent points, and learned talent ranks
DBC Parsing:
- Load Talent.dbc: talent grid positions, ranks, prerequisites, spell IDs
- Load TalentTab.dbc: talent tree definitions with correct field indices
- Fix localized string field handling (17 fields per string)
- Load Spell.dbc and SpellIcon.dbc for talent icons and tooltips
- Class mask filtering using bitwise operations (1 << (class - 1))
UI Implementation:
- Complete talent tree UI with tabbed interface for specs
- Display talent icons from spell data with proper tinting/borders
- Enhanced tooltips: spell name, rank, current/next descriptions, prereqs
- Visual states: green (maxed), yellow (partial), white (available), gray (locked)
- Tier unlock system (5 points per tier requirement)
- Rank overlay on icons with shadow text
- Click to learn talents with validation
Dual Spec Support:
- Store unspent points and learned talents per spec (0 and 1)
- Track active spec and display its talents
- Spec switching UI with buttons for Spec 1/Spec 2
- Handle both SMSG_TALENTS_INFO packets from server at login
- Display unspent points for both specs in header
- Independent talent trees for each specialization
The comment incorrectly stated state values as:
0=known(green), 1=available, 2=unavailable(red)
Actual correct values are:
0=unavailable(grey), 1=available(green), 2=known(green)
This was causing confusion when debugging trainer issues.
Nonbinary characters can now choose between masculine and feminine body types in character creation, with real-time preview updates and full appearance customization. Body type preference is saved to character config and persists across sessions. Also reduces character preview drag-to-rotate sensitivity from 0.5 to 0.2 for better control.
CMSG_TRAINER_BUY_SPELL was missing the trainerId field — server expects
guid(8) + trainerId(4) + spellId(4) = 16 bytes, not 12. Spells with
unmet prerequisites (chainNode1/2/3), insufficient level, or already
known are now greyed out with disabled Train buttons. Tooltips show
prerequisite status in green/red.
