Enhanced the C-key character screen with a 3-column layout featuring a 3D
character model preview (with drag-to-rotate), item icons loaded from BLP
textures via ItemDisplayInfo.dbc, and a stats panel showing base + equipment
bonuses. Fixed selection circle clipping under terrain by adding a Z offset,
and corrected faction hostility logic that was wrongly marking hostile mobs
as friendly.
Split inventory into bags-only (B key) and character screen (C key). Vendor window
auto-opens bags with sell prices on hover and right-click to sell. Add camera intro
pan on all login/spawn/teleport/hearthstone events and idle orbit after 2 minutes.
Add quest log UI, SMSG_MONSTER_MOVE handling, deferred creature spawn queue, and
creature fade-in/movement interpolation for online mode.
Fix CMSG_GOSSIP_SELECT_OPTION missing menuId field (was causing
ByteBufferException). Add 12 quest opcodes and clickable quest items in
gossip dialog. NPC attack/death animation callbacks now work for both
single-player and server-spawned creatures, and SMSG_ATTACKERSTATEUPDATE
triggers NPC swing animations.
Disable depth testing for additive/mod blend mode batches so glow quads
render as proper light halos instead of visible transparent discs. Add
NPC swing callback to play attack animation (anim 16) when NPCs melee
in single-player combat.
Fix movement packets to include packed player GUID prefix so the server
tracks position. Fix inventory money display being clipped by child panels.
Add Back and Delete Character buttons to character selection screen with
two-step delete confirmation.
- Add race/gender suffix to helmet M2 paths (e.g. _HuM for Human Male)
so helmet models actually load from MPQ archives
- Include bald scalp mesh (submeshId=1) for hairStyle=0 to cover the
hole at the crown of the body base mesh
- Fix CharacterFacialHairStyles.dbc column indices (no ID column, so
cols 0/1/2 for race/sex/variation instead of 1/2/3)
- Convert facial hair DBC values to proper submeshIds by adding group
base (100+, 200+, 300+)
- Hide hair geosets under helmets and replace with bald scalp cap
Use CharHairGeosets.dbc to map (race, sex, hairStyleId) to the correct
group 0 scalp mesh instead of the broken 101+hairStyleId formula. Filter
group 0 submeshes so only the body base and correct hair mesh render
(prevents overlapping scalp variants). Fix ItemDisplayInfo.dbc column
indices (5→7) and geoset formulas for equipment. Add CharSections.dbc
hair texture lookup and CharacterFacialHairStyles.dbc support.
Baked NPC textures must be applied to all skin-related texture slots
(type 1 char skin, type 2 object skin, type 6 hair) since body parts
use different texture slots. Removed separate hair texture lookup as
baked textures already include the complete NPC appearance.
Expanded body part geoset range from 0-18 to 0-99 to cover all humanoid
submesh IDs. Added per-model debug logging to track submesh IDs and
geoset filtering behavior.
Geoset filtering was incorrectly hiding NPC body parts because submesh
IDs don't match the expected geoset ID convention. Disabled until proper
mapping is implemented.
selectSpawnPreset() was always returning a preset (Goldshire by default),
overriding the saved character position. Now returns nullptr when no
WOW_SPAWN env var is set, allowing saved position to be used.
Baked NPC textures already include complete appearance (skin, features,
armor). Equipment component textures are designed for player characters
with different UV layout and were causing body parts to disappear.
Load and attach helmet M2 models to humanoid NPCs from ItemDisplayInfo.dbc.
Revert equipment texture compositing since baked NPC textures are 256x256
(incompatible with 512x512 region system). Add debug logging for equipment
display IDs.
Load equipment display IDs from CreatureDisplayInfoExtra.dbc and look up
geoset groups from ItemDisplayInfo.dbc. Apply appropriate geosets for
chest, pants, boots, gloves, tabard, and cape. Hide hair when NPC wears
a helmet.
Set correct hair style and facial hair geosets based on CreatureDisplayInfoExtra.
Load hair textures from CharSections.dbc using race, sex, hairStyleId, and
hairColorId for proper hair coloring on humanoid NPCs.
Load CreatureDisplayInfoExtra.dbc to get baked texture names for humanoid
NPCs. Apply textures from Textures\BakedNpcTextures\ to type-1 texture
slots. Also spawn player model in online mode and set active character
GUID for both single-player and online modes.
- Fix encryption desync by tracking decrypted header bytes in world socket
- Fix UPDATE_OBJECT movement block parsing to handle 3.3.5a update flags
- Fix UNIT_FIELD_DISPLAYID index (67, not 71)
- Add creature spawn/despawn callbacks with DBC-based model loading
- Add SMSG_COMPRESSED_UPDATE_OBJECT opcode support
Add world entry callback that triggers terrain loading when receiving
SMSG_LOGIN_VERIFY_WORLD. Fix coordinate conversion by applying
serverToCanonical() to properly swap X/Y axes from server format.
- Remove complex ramp/edge filtering that was skipping building walls
- Simpler wall detection: any vertical geometry above step height
- Add intro camera pan on game start
Save/load floor cache per map (e.g., cache/wmo_floor_Azeroth.bin) instead
of a single global file. Saves current zone's cache before teleporting,
loads target zone's cache after terrain streaming completes.
Add precomputeFloorCache() method that samples all WMO bounds at load time
and populates the persistent floor height grid. Called after terrain
streaming completes (initial spawn and teleport) when cache is empty.
- Add texture-sorted batch merging with glMultiDrawElements to reduce draw calls
- Pre-compute merged batches at load time instead of per-frame
- Add persistent floor height cache with disk save/load (cache/wmo_floor_cache.bin)
- Reduce collision focus radius and sweep steps for faster collision checks
- Add floor cache size to performance HUD
- Reduce WMO group distance culling to 80 units
Portal-based visibility culling for WMO rendering (disabled by default,
needs debugging for complex WMOs like Stormwind). Skip character creation
screen when characters already exist in single-player mode.
The charCreateCallback was firing synchronously during ImGui render,
causing a state transition before the create screen's ImGui::End() was
called. Defer the callback to GameHandler::update() and ensure update()
runs during CHARACTER_CREATION and CHARACTER_SELECTION states.
Implements a full character creation UI integrated into the existing flow.
In single-player mode, auth screen now goes to character creation before
entering the world. In online mode, a "Create Character" button on the
character selection screen sends CMSG_CHAR_CREATE to the server. Includes
WoW 3.3.5a race/class combo validation and appearance range limits.
Replace the 3D top-down rendered minimap with WoW's native pre-rendered
BLP tile textures loaded via md5translate.trs. Tiles are composited into
a 3x3 grid FBO with proper axis transposition matching the ADT terrain
convention. The screen shader provides camera-rotation, circular mask,
directional player arrow, and 20% transparency. Minimap is now on by
default with the N toggle key removed.
Teleporter panel (T key) lets the player teleport between Goldshire,
Stormwind Gate, Ironforge, and Westfall in single-player mode. Adds
serverToCanonical/canonicalToServer conversion at the network packet
boundary so positions are compatible with TrinityCore/MaNGOS/AzerothCore
emulator servers.
Centralizes all coordinate conversions in core/coordinates.hpp with
proper canonical WoW coords (+X=North, +Y=West, +Z=Up). Fixes critical
tile calculation bug that was loading wrong surrounding tiles during
terrain streaming, and fixes position sync sending ADT-raw format
instead of canonical coordinates to the server.
