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).
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.
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.
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.
- Per-family mount sounds (kodo, tallstrider, mechanostrider, etc.) detected from M2 model path
- Skip WMO groups with SHOW_SKYBOX flag or all-untextured batches (grey mesh in Orgrimmar)
- Freeze physics during taxi landing until terrain loads to prevent falling through void
- Disable bone animations on tropical vegetation (palm, bamboo, banana, etc.) to fix wiggling
- Snap player to final taxi waypoint on flight completion
- Extract mount aura spell ID from classic UNIT_FIELD_AURAS for CMSG_CANCEL_AURA dismount
- Increase /unstuck forward nudge to 5 units
CharSections fields were mapped incorrectly (Variation/Color at 4-5,
textures at 6-8) — corrected to textures at 4-6, Flags at 7,
Variation at 8, Color at 9. Fixed in both dbc_layout.cpp and all
expansion JSON configs. Also fix Warden HASH_REQUEST to SHA1 over
seed+moduleImage instead of just seed.
Binary ItemDisplayInfo.dbc has 23 fields with texture components at
14-21, not 15-22. The previous "fix" shifted all fields by +1 which
read wrong columns and broke both player and NPC equipment rendering.
Also fix local player texture cycling: rebuildOnlineInventory() was
called on every item query response (including for other players),
unconditionally setting onlineEquipDirty_ which triggered redundant
texture recompositing. Now tracks previous equipment displayInfoIds
and only sets dirty when they actually change.
Unified all 3 equipment texture code paths (local player, other
players, NPCs) to use the DBC layout system with correct field 14
base index.
Texture regions are at DBC fields 15-22, not 14-21. Field 14 is
HelmetGeosetVis[1] (uint32), and getString() on it returned random
strings from the DBC string block, causing garbled textures on
players and missing leg textures on other characters.
Cache composite textures by input key so identical NPC equipment
combos share one GPU texture. Use DBC layout system for
ItemDisplayInfo texture component fields instead of hardcoded
indices (cross-expansion support). Selective player equipment
re-emission on item query response instead of broadcasting to
all players.
Two bugs fixed:
1. SMSG_INSPECT_RESULTS (0x115) was falling through to the inspect
handler, but this opcode is not the real inspect response. Removed
the case so only SMSG_INSPECT_TALENT (0x3F4) triggers the handler.
2. EmotesText DBC layout was missing "ID" field in all 4 expansion
JSON files, causing operator[] to return 0xFFFFFFFF instead of 0.
This broke the dbcId reverse lookup, so other players' emotes
always fell back to generic "performs an emote" text. Added ID
and OthersTargetTextID/OthersNoTargetTextID to all layouts.
Guild O tab: fallback to character guildId when guildName_ not yet
queried, re-query guild info on roster open. /who: add missing
stringCount field and fix maxLevel default (0→100). /inspect: add
SMSG_INSPECT_TALENT opcode (0x3F4) and rewrite parser for WotLK
PackedGUID+talent format. Character preview: reset all tracking
variables in setAssetManager() to force model reload on login.
Chat tabs filter messages into General/Combat/Whispers/Trade tabs. Text
emotes now send CMSG_TEXT_EMOTE to server and display incoming emotes
from other players. Channel system auto-joins General/Trade on login with
/join, /leave, and /1-/9 shortcuts. Chat bubbles render as ImGui overlays
above entities for SAY/YELL messages with fade-out animation.
Extracts each expansion's assets as a CRC-compared overlay against a
base manifest, storing only files that differ. Auto-detects overlay mode
when a base manifest already exists. Adds --as-overlay, --full-base
flags and manifest merge for partial extractions.
Expansion overlays allow each expansion to supplement the base asset data
via an assetManifest field in expansion.json, loaded at priority 50 (below
HD packs). The asset extractor gains --reference-manifest for delta-only
extraction. Also fixes CharSections field indices (VariationIndex=4,
ColorIndex=5, Texture1=6) across all DBC layout references.
Vanilla CMSG_CAST_SPELL target mask is uint16 (not uint32 like WotLK),
the extra 2 bytes were corrupting packets. Also implement full bag
content tracking: extract container slot GUIDs from CONTAINER update
objects, set proper bag sizes, and populate bag items in inventory
rebuild.
- Parse vanilla M2 animation tracks (flat arrays with M2Range indices)
instead of skipping them, fixing T-pose on all vanilla models
- Use C4Quaternion (float[4]) for vanilla bone rotations instead of
CompressedQuat (int16[4]) which produced garbage transforms
- Fix vanilla M2 attachment struct size (48 bytes, not 40) so weapons
attach to correct bones instead of model origin
- Route movement packets through expansion-specific packet parsers
instead of hardcoded WotLK format, fixing server-side position sync
- Fix Spell.dbc field indices for classic/turtle (Name=120, Rank=129,
IconID=117) - were pointing to Portuguese locale column (+7 offset)
- Change guild roster keybind from J to O (WoW default)
- Add guild opcodes for all expansions
- 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
- Vanilla M2 bone struct (108 bytes) with 28-byte animation tracks
- Version-aware bone parsing (vanilla vs WotLK format detection)
- Fix CharSections.dbc field layout for vanilla (variation/color at 4-5)
- Remove broken CharSections.csv files (all fields marked as strings)
- Expansion data reload on profile switch (DBC cache clear, layout reload)
- Vanilla packet encryption (VanillaCrypt XOR-based header crypt)
- Extended character preview geoset range (0-99) for vanilla models
- DBC cache clear support in AssetManager
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
