Up arrow in the chat input field recalls previously sent messages.
Down arrow moves forward through history; going past the end clears input.
History stores up to 50 unique entries and resets position after each send.
/target <name> searches visible entities by case-insensitive prefix match.
Red vignette flashes on screen edges when player HP drops, fading over 0.5s.
Adds a 0.5x-2.0x scale slider under Nameplates in the Interface settings tab. The scale multiplies the base 80×8px nameplate health bar dimensions. Setting is persisted to settings.cfg as 'nameplate_scale'.
Adds a 0.5x-1.5x scale slider under Action Bars in the Interface settings tab. The scale multiplies the base 48px slot size for both the main bar and XP bar layout calculations. The setting is persisted to settings.cfg as 'action_bar_scale'.
Chests (and lockboxes, coffers, etc.) failed to open because CMSG_LOOT
was only sent on Classic/Turtle expansions, and only when GO type was
already cached as type 3. Fix: always send CMSG_LOOT after
CMSG_GAMEOBJ_USE (server silently ignores it for non-lootable objects).
Also broaden CMSG_GAMEOBJ_REPORT_USE to all non-mailbox WotLK GOs.
Latency meter: record pingTimestamp_ in sendPing() and compute RTT in
handlePong(); add toggleable "Show Latency Meter" checkbox in Interface
settings (saved to settings.cfg).
Implement quick-access quality presets (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) that adjust multiple graphics settings at once for better user experience. Each preset configures:
- Shadow rendering and distance
- Anti-aliasing (MSAA) level
- Normal mapping and parallax mapping
- Ground clutter density
The system automatically detects when settings deviate from a preset and marks them as "Custom". Presets are persisted to settings.cfg for consistency across sessions. Users can quickly switch between performance and quality modes or tweak individual settings as needed.
- Add showMinimap_ and showRaidFrames_ visibility flags to GameScreen
- Wire up TOGGLE_MINIMAP (M key) to toggle minimap visibility
- Wire up TOGGLE_RAID_FRAMES (F key) to toggle party/raid frame visibility
- Conditional rendering of minimap markers and party frames
- Completes keybinding manager integration for all 15 customizable actions
- Add TOGGLE_BAGS action to keybinding manager (B key default)
- Update inventory_screen.cpp to use keybinding manager for bag and character toggles
- Maintain consistent keybinding system across all UI windows
Implement showWorldMap_ state variable and TOGGLE_WORLD_MAP keybinding
integration to allow players to customize the W key binding for opening/
closing the World Map, consistent with other window toggles like Nameplates
(V key) and Guild Roster (O key).
- Add World Map (W), Nameplates (V), Raid Frames (R), Quest Log (Q) to
KeybindingManager enum with customizable default bindings
- Replace hard-coded V key check for nameplate toggle with
KeybindingManager::isActionPressed() to support customization
- Update config file persistence to handle new bindings
- Infrastructure in place for implementing visibility toggles on other
windows (World Map, Raid Frames, Quest Log) with future UI refactoring
- Extended KeybindingManager enum with TOGGLE_GUILD_ROSTER (O) and
TOGGLE_DUNGEON_FINDER (J) to replace hard-coded key checks
- Added Controls tab in Settings UI for rebinding all 10 customizable actions
- Implemented real-time key capture and binding with visual feedback
- Integrated keybinding persistence with main settings.cfg file
- Replaced hard-coded O key (Guild Roster) and I key (Dungeon Finder) checks
with KeybindingManager::isActionPressed() calls
- Added Reset to Defaults button for restoring original keybindings
Implement KeybindingManager singleton class to support:
- Storing and loading keybinding configuration from ini files
- Querying whether an action's keybinding was pressed
- Runtime rebinding of actions to different keys
- Default keybinding set: C=Character, I=Inventory, S=Spellbook, K=Talents,
L=Quests, M=Minimap, Esc=Settings, Enter=Chat
This is the foundation for user-customizable keybindings. Integration with
UI controls and replacement of hard-coded ImGui::IsKeyPressed calls will
follow in subsequent improvements.
Add UNIT_FIELD_STAT0-4 (STR/AGI/STA/INT/SPI) to the UF enum and wire up
per-expansion indices in all four expansion JSON files (WotLK: 84-88,
Classic/Turtle: 138-142, TBC: 159-163). Read the values in both CREATE
and VALUES player update handlers and store in playerStats_[5].
renderStatsPanel now uses the server-authoritative totals when available,
falling back to the previous 20+level estimate only if the server hasn't
sent UNIT_FIELD_STAT* yet. Item-query bonuses are still shown as (+N)
alongside the server total for both paths.
- Animation stutter: skip playAnimation(Run) for the local player in the
server movement callback — the player renderer state machine already manages
it; resetting animTime on every movement packet caused visible stutter
- Resolution crash: reorder swapchain recreation so old swapchain is only
destroyed after confirming the new build succeeded; add null-swapchain
guard in beginFrame to survive the retry window
- Memory cap: reduce cache budget from 80% uncapped to 50% hard-capped at
16 GB to prevent excessive RAM use on high-memory systems
- Spell tooltip: suppress "Drag to action bar / Double-click to cast" hints
when the tooltip is shown from the action bar (showUsageHints=false)
- M2 collision: add watermelon/melon/squash/gourd to foliage (no-collision);
exclude chair/bench/stool/seat/throne from smallSolidProp so invisible chair
bounding boxes no longer trap the player
Shows a centered modal when LfgState::Proposal is active regardless of
whether the Dungeon Finder window is open, matching WoW behaviour where
the accept/decline prompt always appears over the game world.
Mirrors the BG invite popup pattern; buttons call lfgAcceptProposal().
Add a compact focus target frame on the right side of the screen
when the player has a focus target set via /focus.
- Shows [Focus] label, name (colored by hostility/level diff), level
- HP bar with green→yellow→red coloring; power bar with type colors
- Cast bar showing spell name and remaining time when focus is casting
- Clicking the frame targets the focus entity
- Clears automatically when focus is lost (/clearfocus)
Replace the text-only "/join to enter" message with an interactive
popup that shows the BG name, a live countdown progress bar, and
Enter/Leave Queue buttons.
- Parse STATUS_WAIT_JOIN timeout from SMSG_BATTLEFIELD_STATUS
- Store inviteReceivedTime (steady_clock) on the queue slot
- BgQueueSlot moved to public section so UI can read invite details
- Add declineBattlefield() that sends CMSG_BATTLEFIELD_PORT(action=0)
- acceptBattlefield() optimistically sets statusId=3 to dismiss popup
- renderBgInvitePopup: colored countdown bar (green→yellow→red),
named BG (Alterac Valley, Warsong Gulch, etc.), auto-dismisses on expiry
- Parse SMSG_ALL_ACHIEVEMENT_DATA on login to populate earnedAchievements_ set
- Pass achievement name through callback so toast shows name instead of ID
- Add renderItemTooltip(ItemQueryResponseData) overload for loot/non-inventory contexts
- Loot window now shows full item tooltip on hover (stats, sell price, bind type, etc.)
Expose SpellbookScreen::renderSpellInfoTooltip() as a public method,
then use it in the action bar slot tooltip. Action bar spell tooltips
now show the same full tooltip as the spellbook: spell school (colored),
mana/rage/energy cost, cast time, range, cooldown, and description.
Falls back to a plain spell name if DBC data is not yet loaded.
Hearthstone location note is appended after the rich body.
Cooldown text moved inside each branch for consistent styling.
Load SchoolMask (TBC/WotLK bitmask) or SchoolEnum (Classic/Turtle 0-6
enum, converted to mask via 1<<N) from Spell.dbc into SpellInfo.
renderSpellTooltip now shows the spell school name (Holy/Fire/Nature/
Frost/Shadow/Arcane) in the appropriate school color between the spell
rank and resource cost. Physical school is suppressed as it is the
implied default. Multi-school spells display both names separated by /.
WotLK DBC fallback path uses field 225 for SchoolMask.
Action bars:
- Expand from 2 bars (24 slots) to 4 bars (48 slots)
- Bar 2: right-edge vertical bar (slots 24-35), off by default
- Bar 3: left-edge vertical bar (slots 36-47), off by default
- New "Interface" settings tab with toggles and offset sliders for all bars
- XP bar Y position now tracks bar 2 visibility and vertical offset
HUD resize fix:
- All HUD elements (action bars, bag bar, XP bar, cast bar, mirror timers)
now use ImGui::GetIO().DisplaySize instead of window->getWidth/Height()
- DisplaySize is always in sync with the current frame — eliminates the
one-frame lag that caused bars to misalign after window resize
Player nameplates:
- Show player name only on nameplate (no level number clutter)
- Fall back to "Player (level)" while name query is pending
- NPC nameplates unchanged (still show "level Name")
XP bar rest state:
- isResting_ now set from PLAYER_BYTES_2 byte 3 bit 0 (rest state flag)
on both CREATE and VALUES update object handlers
- playerRestedXp_ was missing from VALUES handler — now tracked there too
- Eliminates dependency on SMSG_SET_REST_START (wrong in WotLK opcodes.json)
Interface settings:
- New "Interface" tab in Settings window
- "Show Second Action Bar" toggle (default: on)
- Horizontal/vertical position offset sliders for bar 2
- Settings persisted to/from save file
- SMSG_IGNORE_LIST was silently consumed; now parses guid+name pairs to
populate ignoreCache so /unignore works correctly for pre-existing
ignores loaded at login.
- MSG_TALENT_WIPE_CONFIRM was discarded without responding; now parses
the NPC GUID and cost, shows a confirm dialog, and sends the required
response packet when the player confirms. Without this, talent reset
via Talent Master NPC was completely broken.
Store structured friend data (online status, level, area, class) that
was previously discarded in handleFriendList/handleContactList. New
ContactEntry struct lives in game_handler.hpp; getContacts() exposes it.
UI: the O-key Social window (formerly guild-only) now has a Friends tab.
- Shows online/offline status dot, name, level, and AFK/DND label
- Pressing O when not in a guild opens Social directly on the Friends tab
- The window title changed from "Guild" to "Social" for accuracy
- Non-guild players no longer get a "not in a guild" rejection on O press
Raid frames:
- When groupType=1 (raid), render compact grid-style raid frames instead
of the vertical party list that would overflow for 25/40-man groups
- Members organized by subgroup (G1-G8), up to 5 rows per subgroup column
- Each cell shows: name, health bar (green/yellow/red), power bar (class color)
- Clicking a cell targets the member; border highlight for current target
- Frames anchored above action bar area, centered horizontally
Quest log scroll-to-quest:
- openAndSelectQuest(questId) selects the quest AND scrolls the list pane
to show it (SetScrollHereY on the first render frame after open)
- One-shot scroll: scrollToSelected_ cleared after first use so normal
scroll behavior is unaffected afterward
Quest tracker:
- Clicking a tracked quest now calls openAndSelectQuest() — opens the log
AND jumps to that specific quest rather than just opening to top
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
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)
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.
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.
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.
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.
- Add Escape Menu → Instance Lockouts button opening a new panel
that lists active lockouts with instance name (from Map.dbc),
difficulty, time-until-reset countdown, and locked/extended status.
map name lookup is cached on first open.
- Fix uninitialized ChatType in sendChatMessage (default to SAY)
- Remove unused startWorld variable in handleMonsterMoveTransport
- Remove unused modelCached variable in spawnOnlineCreature
Eliminates all -Wunused-but-set-variable and -Wmaybe-uninitialized
warnings in the main translation units.
- Show up to 5 active quests with objective progress (kills, items, text)
- Gold title for complete quests, white for in-progress
- Item objectives show item name via getItemInfo() lookup
- Transparent semi-opaque background, docked below minimap on right
- Add Reputation tab in character screen tab bar (Equipment/Stats/Reputation/Skills)
- Implement renderReputationPanel() showing all tracked factions sorted alphabetically
- Progress bars colored per WoW reputation tier: Hated/Hostile/Unfriendly/Neutral/Friendly/Honored/Revered/Exalted
- Add public getFactionNamePublic() backed by DBC name cache with lazy load
- Implement renderReadyCheckPopup() showing initiator name with Ready/Not Ready buttons
- Fix MSG_RAID_READY_CHECK fallback: use partyData.leaderGuid instead of non-existent isLeader field
- Add faction standing handler with loadFactionNameCache() (Faction.dbc field 22)
- Add gossip POI handler writing canonical WoW coords to gossipPois_ for minimap rendering
- SMSG_HEALTH_UPDATE / SMSG_POWER_UPDATE: update entity HP/power via entityManager
- SMSG_UPDATE_WORLD_STATE: single world state variable update (companion to INIT)
- SMSG_UPDATE_COMBO_POINTS: store comboPoints_/comboTarget_ in GameHandler
- SMSG_START_MIRROR_TIMER / SMSG_STOP_MIRROR_TIMER / SMSG_PAUSE_MIRROR_TIMER: breath/fatigue/feign timer state
- MirrorTimer struct + getMirrorTimer() public getter; renderMirrorTimers() draws colored breath/fatigue bars above cast bar
- SMSG_CAST_RESULT: WotLK extended cast result; clear cast bar and show reason on failure (result != 0)
- SMSG_SPELL_FAILED_OTHER / SMSG_PROCRESIST: consume silently
- SMSG_LOOT_START_ROLL: correct trigger for Need/Greed popup (replaces rollType=128 heuristic)
- SMSG_STABLE_RESULT: show pet stable feedback in system chat (store/retrieve/buy slot/error)
- SMSG_TITLE_EARNED: system chat notification for title earned/removed
- SMSG_PLAYERBOUND / SMSG_BINDER_CONFIRM: hearthstone binding notification
- SMSG_SET_PHASE_SHIFT: consume (WotLK phasing, no client action needed)
- SMSG_TOGGLE_XP_GAIN: system chat notification
- Parse SMSG_ITEM_TEXT_QUERY_RESPONSE (guid + isEmpty + string text),
store in itemText_ and open book window when non-empty
- queryItemText(guid) sends CMSG_ITEM_TEXT_QUERY for readable items
- renderItemTextWindow(): scrollable book window with parchment-toned
text, "Close" button; opens via isItemTextOpen() flag
- Parse SMSG_QUEST_CONFIRM_ACCEPT (questId + title + sharerGuid),
show chat notification with quest title and sharer name
- acceptSharedQuest() sends CMSG_QUEST_CONFIRM_ACCEPT with questId
- renderSharedQuestPopup(): shows sharer name, gold quest title,
Accept/Decline buttons (stacked below other social popups)
- Parse SMSG_LOOT_ROLL: if rollType==128 and it's our player, store
pending roll (itemId, slot, name from itemInfoCache_) and show popup;
otherwise show chat notification of another player's roll result
- Parse SMSG_LOOT_ROLL_WON: show winner announcement in chat with item
name and roll type/value
- sendLootRoll() sends CMSG_LOOT_ROLL (objectGuid+slot+rollType) and
clears pending roll state
- SMSG_LOOT_MASTER_LIST consumed silently (no UI yet)
- renderLootRollPopup(): ImGui window with Need/Greed/Disenchant/Pass
buttons; item name colored by quality (poor/common/uncommon/rare/epic/
legendary color scale)
