Both passes were rendering the entire loaded scene (17×17 tile radius)
into a shadow map that only covers 360×360 world units — submitting
10-50× more geometry than the shadow frustum can actually use.
- TerrainRenderer::renderShadow: skip chunks whose bounding sphere
doesn't overlap the shadow frustum AABB in XY. Reduces terrain draw
calls from O(all loaded chunks) to O(chunks within ~180 units).
- M2Renderer::renderShadow: skip instances whose world AABB doesn't
overlap the shadow frustum in XY. Reduces M2 draw calls similarly.
- Both functions now take shadowCenter + halfExtent parameters.
- SHADOW_MAP_SIZE 2048→1024: 4x fewer pixels rasterized in depth pass
- Replace 9-tap manual PCF loop with single hardware PCF tap in all 4 receiver
shaders (terrain.frag, wmo_renderer, m2_renderer, character_renderer).
GL_LINEAR + GL_COMPARE_REF_TO_TEXTURE already gives 2×2 bilinear PCF per
tap for free, so quality is maintained while doing 9x fewer texture fetches.
- Throttle shadow depth pass to every 2 frames; OpenGL depth texture persists
between frames so receivers always have a valid shadow map. 1-frame lag at
60 fps is invisible.
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.hpp: extend ERROR macro push/pop region to cover entire header so
LogLevel::ERROR inside template bodies compiles correctly on Windows
CMakeLists.txt: move tool install() rules next to each target definition
so they run after the targets exist (fixes macOS 'target does not exist')
- net_platform.hpp: guard ssize_t typedef with !__MINGW32__ since MinGW-w64
already defines ssize_t as __int64 in corecrt.h
- logger.hpp: push/pop ERROR macro around LogLevel enum (same wingdi.h clash
as world_packets.hpp)
- 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
- Add Entity::setOrientation() to update facing without cancelling movement
- Force attacker and victim to face each other on SMSG_ATTACKSTART
- Fix orientation sign error in MonsterMove: use atan2(-dy, dx) throughout so
NPCs don't glide backward; clamp FacingAngle moves that are >90° off travel vector
- Tab-target: skip dead units and non-hostiles at both build and advance time;
stale entries (killed between presses) are skipped inline rather than cycling to them
- Spirit healer resurrection: detect same-map SMSG_NEW_WORLD with resurrectPending_
and skip the full world reload/entity clear, preventing the fall-forever bug
- propagate item damage range and delay into ItemDef during inventory rebuild
- show weapon damage, speed, and DPS in inventory/character slot tooltips
- fix online spawn camera pitch sign so third-person camera starts above ground
- 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
Batches whose named texture fails to load now render invisible instead of
white (the swampreeds01a.blp case causing a white shell around aquatic plants).
Also implements proper M2 opacity plumbing:
- Parse texture weight tracks (M2Track<fixed16>) and color animation alpha
tracks (M2Color.alpha) to resolve per-batch opacity at load time
- Skip batches with batchOpacity < 0.01 in the render loop
- Apply M2Texture.flags (bit0=WrapS, bit1=WrapT) to GL sampler wrap mode
- Upload both UV sets (texCoords[0] and texCoords[1]) and select via
textureUnit uniform, so batches referencing UV set 1 render correctly
Add AssetManager hookup to AudioEngine so the path-based playSound2D/3D
overloads can load files on demand rather than requiring preloading.
- Add setAssetManager() to AudioEngine (called during world load alongside
other audio manager initializations)
- playSound2D(mpqPath) now calls assetManager->readFile() then delegates
to the vector<uint8_t> overload (removes the "not yet implemented" warning)
- playSound3D(mpqPath, position) same — delegates to the fully spatialized
vector overload (was previously silently falling back to 2D)
- Trigger ding when UNIT_FIELD_LEVEL increases for player: plays LevelUp sound,
cheer emote animation, and shows screen overlay
- renderDingEffect(): 3 expanding golden rings + "LEVEL X!" / "DING!" text
drawn via ImDrawList foreground (3s duration, fades out last 0.8s)
- triggerDing() wires sound (UiSoundManager::playLevelUp) + emote + overlay
- LevelUpCallback in GameHandler fires on genuine level increase (newLevel > oldLevel)
- "Test: Level Up" button in escape menu triggers ding at current player level
Checkbox in Settings > Gameplay > Loot section. When enabled, all items
are automatically sent CMSG_AUTOSTORE_LOOT_ITEM on loot response (same
as right-click looting each item). Gold always auto-loots regardless.
Setting persists in settings.cfg as auto_loot=0/1.
- Mute button: small [M] button alongside minimap zoom controls, turns red when active; directly sets AudioEngine master volume to 0, restores on unmute; persists in settings.cfg
- Original Soundtrack: checkbox in Settings > Audio that controls whether custom original music tracks (file: prefix) are included in zone music rotation; when disabled, only WoW MPQ tracks play; persists in settings.cfg
- ZoneManager.getRandomMusic() now filters file: paths when OST is disabled, falling back to full list if zone has no non-file tracks
The gossip questIcon field is an integer enum (2=available, 4=incomplete,
5=ready-to-turn-in), not a bitmask. Using (questIcon & 0x04) caused icon=4
(in-progress quests) to be treated as completable, so the client sent
CMSG_QUESTGIVER_REQUEST_REWARD for incomplete quests. The server rejected
these silently and re-sent SMSG_GOSSIP_MESSAGE, causing an infinite loop.
Fix: use exact equality (questIcon == 5 for completable, == 4 for incomplete).
Also register SMSG_CANCEL_AUTO_REPEAT (0x06B) to suppress the unhandled
opcode warning logged on every login.
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.
- 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.
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
- 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
- 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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
