Prevents unbounded GPU memory growth in long play sessions where the player
visits many zones. Tiles are inserted into a FIFO deque; when the count of
successfully-loaded tiles exceeds MAX_TILE_CACHE (128), the oldest entry is
destroyed and removed from both the cache map and the deque.
At 256×256×4 bytes per tile this caps minimap GPU usage at ~32 MB.
Remove stray X-flip in minimap display shader that mirrored the map
horizontally (West on right instead of East). Fix arrow rotation
fallback path (missing negation) and add character-facing-relative
arrow in rotateWithCamera mode.
Compact key ring: 24px slots in 8-column grid, only show rows with
items, hide when empty. Add Show Key Ring toggle in Settings with
persistence.
- Tighten celestial glow falloff and edge fade to eliminate visible quad boundary
- Add opacity support to minimap display shader, synced with UI opacity setting
- Fix audio double/triple-scaling by removing redundant master volume multiplications
- Rename "Original Soundtrack" toggle to "Enable WoWee Music"
- Add About tab with developer info and GitHub link
- Add .setMultisample() to minimap display pipeline and recreatePipelines() for MSAA changes
- Defer all swapchain recreation in window.cpp to beginFrame() via markSwapchainDirty()
to prevent mid-frame render pass destruction crashes on resolution/fullscreen change
- Move spawnPlayerCharacter() call to after loadTestTerrain() where character renderer exists
Extends gender system beyond WoW's binary male/female to support nonbinary characters with proper they/them pronouns. Implements client-side gender mapping (nonbinary→male) for 3.3.5a server compatibility while preserving player identity through local config persistence. Adds pronoun placeholders ($p/$o/$s/$S) and three-option gender text parsing ($g<male>:<female>:<nonbinary>;) for inclusive quest and dialog text.
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.
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.
