Player nameplates previously used a flat cyan for all players. Now they
display the canonical Blizzard class color (Warrior=#C79C6E,
Paladin=#F58CBA, Hunter=#ABD473, etc.) read from UNIT_FIELD_BYTES_0.
This makes it easy to identify player classes at a glance in the world,
especially useful in PvP and group content. NPC nameplates keep the
existing red (hostile) / yellow (friendly) coloring.
Same class color logic as the party frame: read UNIT_FIELD_BYTES_0 byte 1
from the entity manager to determine each member's class, then draw their
name in the canonical Blizzard class color. Dead/offline members keep the
gray color since their status is more important than their class identity.
Uses UNIT_FIELD_BYTES_0 (byte 1) from the entity's update fields to
determine each party member's class when they are loaded in the world,
and applies canonical WoW class colors to their name in the 5-man
party frame. Falls back to gold (leader) or light gray (others) when
the entity is not currently loaded. All 10 classes (Warrior, Paladin,
Hunter, Rogue, Priest, Death Knight, Shaman, Mage, Warlock, Druid)
use the standard Blizzard-matching hex values.
Switch combat float text from ImGui::TextColored to draw list rendering
for drop shadows on all entries (readability over complex backgrounds).
Critical hit/heal events render at 1.35× normal font size for visual
impact, matching the WoW combat feedback convention.
Consistent with the player cast bar, show the spell icon (12×12 for
boss, 10×10 for party) to the left of each cast bar progress widget.
Falls back gracefully to the icon-less layout when no icon is found.
Shows the player's current zone name (from server zone ID via
ZoneManager) as a golden label at the top of the minimap circle.
Gracefully absent when zone ID is 0 (loading screens, undetected zones).
Display the casting spell's icon (20×20) to the left of the progress
bar using the existing getSpellIcon DBC lookup. Falls back gracefully
to the icon-less layout when no icon is available (e.g. before DBC
load or for unknown spells).
The persistent red-edge vignette (below 20% HP) now has an on/off
checkbox under Settings > Interface > Screen Effects, alongside the
existing Damage Flash toggle. The preference is persisted to settings.cfg.
Hovering the XP bar now shows a breakdown: current XP, XP remaining
to the next level, rested bonus amount in XP and as a percentage of
a full level, and whether the player is currently resting.
The camera bakes the Vulkan Y-flip into the projection matrix, so no
extra Y-inversion is needed when converting NDC to screen pixels. This
matches the convention used by the nameplate and minimap marker code.
The old formula double-flipped Y, causing chat bubbles to appear at
mirrored positions (e.g. below characters instead of above their heads).
Screen edges pulse red (at ~1.5 Hz) whenever the player is alive but
below 20% HP, with intensity scaling inversely with remaining health.
Complements the existing on-hit damage flash by providing continuous
danger awareness during sustained low-HP situations.
Live NPCs that match active tracked quest kill objectives are now shown
on the minimap as gold circles with an 'x' mark, making it easier to
spot remaining quest targets at a glance without needing to open the map.
Only shows targets for incomplete objectives in tracked quests.
Party members beyond 40 yards show a gray desaturated health bar
with 'OOR' text instead of HP values. Raid frame cells get a dark
overlay and gray health bar when a member is out of range. Range is
computed from the server-reported posX/posY in SMSG_PARTY_MEMBER_STATS
vs the local player entity position.
Read DispelType from Spell.dbc (new field in all expansion DBC layouts)
and use it to color debuff icon borders: magic=blue, curse=purple,
disease=brown, poison=green, other=red. Buffs remain green-bordered.
Adds getSpellDispelType() to GameHandler for lazy cache lookup.
When a chat message contains the player's character name, the message
is rendered with a golden highlight background and bright yellow text.
A whisper notification sound plays (at most once per new-message scan)
to alert the player. Outgoing whispers and system messages are
excluded from mention detection.
Pressing Tab while typing a slash command cycles through all matching
commands (e.g. /em<Tab> → /emote, /emote<Tab> → /emote again).
Unambiguous matches append a trailing space. Repeated Tab presses
cycle forward through all matches. History navigation (Up/Down)
resets the autocomplete session.
Extend chat renderTextWithLinks to handle |Hspell:, |Hquest:, and
|Hachievement: link types in addition to |Hitem:. Spell links show
a small icon and tooltip via renderSpellInfoTooltip; quest links
open the quest log on click; achievement links show a tooltip.
Also wire assetMgr into renderChatWindow for icon lookup.
The "You are dead." dialog now shows a "Release in M:SS" countdown
tracking time elapsed since death. The countdown runs from 6 minutes
(WoW's forced-release window) and disappears once it reaches zero.
Timer resets automatically when the player is no longer dead.
Adds UiSoundManager::playWhisperReceived() which uses the dedicated
Whisper_TellMale/Female.wav files (or falls back to iSelectTarget.wav
if absent). The sound is triggered once per new incoming CHAT_MSG_WHISPER
message by scanning new chat history entries in the raid warning overlay
update loop.
Both the player buff bar and target frame aura display now sort auras
so that shorter-duration (more urgent) buffs/debuffs appear first.
Permanent auras (no duration) sort to the end. In the target frame,
debuffs are sorted before buffs. In the player buff bar, the existing
buffs-first / debuffs-second pass ordering is preserved, with
ascending duration sort within each group.
Handles SMSG_SPELL_CHANCE_PROC_LOG (previously silently ignored) to
display gold "PROC!" floating text when the player triggers a spell
proc. Reads caster/target packed GUIDs and spell ID from the packet
header; skips variable-length effect payload.
Adds CombatTextEntry::PROC_TRIGGER type with gold color rendering,
visible alongside existing damage/heal/energize floating numbers.
Item slots on the action bar now display a dark grey tint when the
item is no longer in the player's backpack, bags, or equipment slots.
This mirrors WoW's visual feedback for consumed or missing items,
matching the priority chain: cooldown > GCD > out-of-range >
insufficient-power > item-missing.
Spell icons now render with a purple desaturated tint when the player
lacks enough mana/rage/energy/runic power to cast them. Power cost and
type are read from Spell.dbc via the spellbook's DBC cache. The spell
tooltip also shows "Not enough power" in purple when applicable.
Priority: cooldown > GCD > out-of-range > insufficient-power so states
don't conflict. Adds SpellbookScreen::getSpellPowerInfo() as a public
DBC accessor.
Ranged spell icons dim to a red tint when the current target is farther
than the spell's max range (read from SpellRange.dbc via spellbook data).
Melee/self spells (max range ≤ 5 yd or unknown) are excluded. The
spell tooltip also shows "Out of range" in red when applicable.
Adds SpellbookScreen::getSpellMaxRange() as a public accessor so
game_screen can query DBC range data without duplicating DBC loading.
- Zone entry toast: centered slide-down banner when entering a new
zone (tracks renderer's zone name, fires on change)
- Talent indicator: pulsing green '! N Talent Points Available' below
minimap alongside existing New Mail / BG queue indicators
- GameHandler tracks GCD in gcdTotal_/gcdStartedAt_ (time-based)
- SMSG_SPELL_COOLDOWN: spellId=0 entries (<=2s) are treated as GCD
- castSpell(): optimistically starts 1.5s GCD client-side on cast
- Action bar: non-cooldown slots show subtle dark sweep + dim tint
during the GCD window, matching WoW standard behavior
Appends a color-coded Unicode weather symbol to the zone name:
- Rain (type 1): blue ⛆ when intensity > 5%
- Snow (type 2): ice-blue ❄ when intensity > 5%
- Storm/Fog (type 3): gray ☁ when intensity > 5%
Symbol is hidden when weather is clear or absent.
- Player frame shows pulsing red [Combat] badge next to level when in combat
- Target frame shows pulsing [Attacking] badge when engaged with target
- Both pulse at 4Hz and include hover tooltips for clarity
Adds a WoW-style popup on right-click within the minimap circle with:
- Zoom In / Zoom Out controls
- Rotate with Camera toggle (with checkmark state)
- Square Shape toggle (with checkmark state)
- Show NPC Dots toggle (with checkmark state)
Extend renderItemTooltip(ItemQueryResponseData) to accept an optional
Inventory* parameter. When Shift is held and an equipped item in the
same slot exists, show: equipped item name, item level diff (▲/▼/=),
and stat diffs for Armor/Str/Agi/Sta/Int/Spi. Pass the player's
inventory from the vendor window hover handler to enable this.
Store active totem state (slot, spellId, duration, placedAt) from
SMSG_TOTEM_CREATED. Render 4 element slots (Earth/Fire/Water/Air) as
color-coded duration bars in the player frame for Shamans (class 7).
Shows countdown seconds, element letter when inactive, and tooltip
with spell name + remaining time on hover.
When a spell's cooldown expires, its action bar slot briefly animates
with a pulsing gold border (4 pulses over 1.5 seconds, fading out) to
draw attention that the ability is ready again. Uses per-slot state
tracking with static maps inside the render lambda.
Parse SMSG_DUEL_COUNTDOWN to get the countdown duration, track the
start time, and render a large centered countdown overlay. Numbers
display in pulsing gold; transitions to pulsing red 'Fight!' for the
last 0.5 seconds. Countdown clears on SMSG_DUEL_COMPLETE.
Show a color-coded reputation progress bar for the most recently gained
faction above the XP bar. The bar is auto-shown when any faction rep
changes (watchedFactionId_ tracks the last changed faction). Colors
follow WoW conventions: red=Hated/Hostile, orange=Unfriendly,
yellow=Neutral, green=Friendly, blue=Honored, purple=Revered,
gold=Exalted. Tooltip shows exact standing values on hover.
Show an orange cast bar in the pet frame when the pet is casting a
spell, matching the party frame cast bar pattern. Displays spell name
and time remaining; falls back to 'Casting...' when spell name is
unavailable from Spell.dbc.
Show a color-coded progress bar (green→yellow→pulsing red) in the loot
roll window indicating time remaining to make a roll decision. The
countdown duration is read from SMSG_LOOT_START_ROLL (or defaults to
60s for the SMSG_LOOT_ROLL path). Remaining seconds are displayed on
the bar itself.
When a quest is turned in (SMSG_QUESTGIVER_QUEST_COMPLETE), a gold-bordered
toast slides in from the right showing "Quest Complete" header with the quest
title, consistent with the rep change and achievement toast systems.
