Normalize WoW quest text tokens during parsing so quest titles/details no longer leak raw markup like and |n into UI. Apply to WotLK and Classic parser paths, including quest list parsing in GameHandler.
Harden quest state handling by mapping abandon requests to authoritative server quest-log slots (PLAYER_QUEST_LOG_START) instead of local vector order, with a guarded fallback when update fields are unavailable.
Improve accept de-duplication by trusting server slot state over stale local cache; allow re-accept when local/server state diverges and trigger resync semantics.
Add expansion-aware CMSG_QUESTGIVER_ACCEPT_QUEST builders: WotLK sends guid+questId+unk1(uint32), while TBC/Classic/Turtle send guid+questId only. Wire GameHandler through PacketParsers for compatibility across expansions and cores.
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.
TBC 2.4.3 SMSG_ITEM_QUERY_SINGLE_RESPONSE differs from WotLK: no Flags2,
no BuyCount, statsCount-many stat pairs (not always 10), and no
ScalingStatDistribution/ScalingStatValue. Without this override,
TbcPacketParsers fell back to the WotLK parser and misread stats/armor
with a cascading 16-byte offset. Classic (Vanilla) was already safe via
its own independent ClassicPacketParsers::parseItemQueryResponse().
- 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
- Route SMSG_UPDATE_OBJECT through polymorphic parsers for correct
vanilla format (uint8 updateFlags, 6 speeds vs WotLK uint16/9)
- Fix SMSG_DESTROY_OBJECT for vanilla (8 bytes, no isDeath field)
- Add MSG_MOVE_* handlers for other player movement relay
- Add ClassicPacketParsers::parseMessageChat with targetGuid read
and monster-type name handling
- Resolve chat sender names from player name cache before display
- Fix CSV DBC field 0 always treated as numeric ID (fixes 16+ garbled
Turtle CSVs including Map, AreaTable, Spell, CreatureDisplayInfo)
- Add CSV DBC validation: reject garbled CSVs (>80% zero IDs) and
fall back to binary DBC files
- Fix ItemDisplayInfo texture component field index (14+ not 15+)
for binary DBC with gender-aware suffix resolution
- Spawn other players as visible M2 models via creature callback
- Map name cache dedup prevents overwrites from duplicate CSV records
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
