- getChatTypeName: use WoW-style mixed-case names (Party/Guild/Raid/etc.)
instead of all-caps (PARTY/GUILD/RAID)
- WHISPER_INFORM: display "To Name: message" instead of "[To] Name: message"
using receiverName when available, falling back to senderName
- wmo_renderer: pass character position (not camera position) to portal
visibility traversal — the 3rd-person camera can orbit outside a WMO
while the character is inside, causing interior groups to cull; render()
now accepts optional viewerPos that defaults to camPos for compatibility
- renderer: pass &characterPosition to wmoRenderer->render() at both
main and single-threaded call sites; reflection pass keeps camPos
- renderer: apply mount pitch/roll to rider during all flight, not just
taxiFlight_ (fixes zero rider tilt during player-controlled flying)
- game_screen: format SAY/YELL/WHISPER/EMOTE using WoW-style "Name says:"
instead of "[SAY] Name:" bracket prefix
- SMSG_IGNORE_LIST was silently consumed; now parses guid+name pairs to
populate ignoreCache so /unignore works correctly for pre-existing
ignores loaded at login.
- MSG_TALENT_WIPE_CONFIRM was discarded without responding; now parses
the NPC GUID and cost, shows a confirm dialog, and sends the required
response packet when the player confirms. Without this, talent reset
via Talent Master NPC was completely broken.
CMSG_LFG_SET_BOOT_VOTE was defined in the opcode table but never sent.
- Add GameHandler::lfgSetBootVote(bool) which sends the packet
- Fix handleLfgBootProposalUpdate() to set lfgState_=Boot while the
vote is in progress and return to InDungeon when it ends
- Add Yes/No vote buttons to the Dungeon Finder window when in Boot state
Quest kill count tracker in the HUD now resolves creature names from the
cached creature query results and displays them as "Name: x/y" instead
of bare "x/y". The system chat progress message on kill also includes
the creature name when available, matching retail client behavior.
- Track PLAYER_REST_STATE_EXPERIENCE update field for all expansions
(WotLK=636, Classic=718, TBC=928, Turtle=718)
- Set isResting_ flag from SMSG_SET_REST_START packet
- XP bar shows rested bonus as a lighter purple overlay extending
beyond the current fill to (currentXp + restedXp) position
- Tooltip text changes to "%u / %u XP (+%u rested)" when bonus exists
- "zzz" indicator shown at bar right edge while resting
- Nameplates: player names always rendered regardless of V-key toggle;
separate cull distance 40u (players/target) vs 20u (NPCs); cyan name
color for other players; fade alpha scales with cull distance
- Level-up: add expanding golden ring burst (3 staggered waves, 420u
max radius) + full-screen flash to renderDingEffect(); M2 LevelUp.m2
is still attempted as a bonus on top
- Vanilla tile loading: add AssetManager::setBaseFallbackPath() so that
when the primary manifest is an expansion-specific DBC-only subset
(e.g. Data/expansions/vanilla/), world terrain files fall back to
the base Data/ extraction; wired in Application::initialize()
- Warden: map a null guard page at address 0x0 in the Unicorn emulator
so NULL-pointer reads in the module don't crash with UC_ERR_MAP;
execution continues past the NULL read for better diagnostics
The selection circle was positioned using the entity's game-logic
interpolator (entity->getX/Y/Z), while the actual M2 model is
positioned by CharacterRenderer's independent interpolator (moveInstanceTo).
These two systems can drift apart during movement, causing the circle
to appear under the wrong position relative to the visible model.
Fix: add CharacterRenderer::getInstancePosition / Application::getRenderPositionForGuid
and use the renderer's inst.position for XY (with footZ override for Z)
so the circle always tracks the rendered model exactly. Falls back to
the entity game-logic position when no CharacterRenderer instance exists.
Parse the full and single-update variants of MSG_RAID_TARGET_UPDATE to
track which guid carries each of the 8 raid icons (Star/Circle/Diamond/
Triangle/Moon/Square/Cross/Skull). Marks are cleared on world transfer.
The target frame now shows the Unicode symbol for the target's raid mark
in its faction color to the left of the name. Nameplates show the same
symbol to the left of the unit name for all nearby marked units.
Expand action bar from 12 to 24 slots (2 bars × 12). Bar 2 is rendered
above bar 1 and loaded from SMSG_ACTION_BUTTONS slots 12-23. Pressing
Shift+number activates the corresponding bar-2 slot. Drag-and-drop,
cooldown overlays, and tooltips work identically on both bars. Bar 2
fades slightly when all its slots are empty to minimize visual noise.
Draws the current zone name centered above the minimap circle using a
gold-colored 12pt label with drop shadow. This gives players a constant
location reference without needing to trigger the full-screen zone flash.
Uses getForegroundDrawList so it renders above the minimap texture.
Left-clicking anywhere within a nameplate's bounding box (name text +
health bar) calls setTarget() for that unit. Uses manual mouse position
hit testing since nameplates are drawn on the background DrawList rather
than as ImGui widgets. Click is ignored when ImGui has captured the mouse
(e.g. when a window is open).
Store structured friend data (online status, level, area, class) that
was previously discarded in handleFriendList/handleContactList. New
ContactEntry struct lives in game_handler.hpp; getContacts() exposes it.
UI: the O-key Social window (formerly guild-only) now has a Friends tab.
- Shows online/offline status dot, name, level, and AFK/DND label
- Pressing O when not in a guild opens Social directly on the Friends tab
- The window title changed from "Guild" to "Social" for accuracy
- Non-guild players no longer get a "not in a guild" rejection on O press
The V toggle previously only rendered a nameplate for the currently
targeted unit. Now all nearby units get a nameplate when nameplates are
enabled, matching WoW's native behaviour:
- Target: nameplate shown up to 40 units, gold border highlight
- All other units: shown up to 20 units, dark border (no highlight)
- Fade-out range, hostility colour, level label, and health bar logic
are all unchanged — only the per-entity distance culling changes
Replace the plain yellow text cooldown overlay with a proper clock-sweep:
- Dark fan spanning the elapsed fraction of the cooldown, sweeping
clockwise from 12 o'clock (matches WoW's native cooldown look)
- White remaining-time text with drop-shadow centered on the icon
- Minutes shown as "Xm" for cooldowns >= 60s, seconds otherwise
- Fan radius set to 1.5× the icon half-width to cover corners on the
square icon; works for both icon and empty (label-only) slots
Draw a dot for each online party member that has reported a position via
SMSG_PARTY_MEMBER_STATS. Leader gets a gold dot, others get blue. A
white outline ring is drawn around each dot, and hovering over it shows
the member's name as a tooltip. Out-of-range members are silently
skipped by the existing projectToMinimap clamp logic.
Axis mapping follows the same convention as minimap pings: server posX
(east/west) → canonical Y, server posY (north/south) → canonical X.
Raid frames:
- When groupType=1 (raid), render compact grid-style raid frames instead
of the vertical party list that would overflow for 25/40-man groups
- Members organized by subgroup (G1-G8), up to 5 rows per subgroup column
- Each cell shows: name, health bar (green/yellow/red), power bar (class color)
- Clicking a cell targets the member; border highlight for current target
- Frames anchored above action bar area, centered horizontally
Quest log scroll-to-quest:
- openAndSelectQuest(questId) selects the quest AND scrolls the list pane
to show it (SetScrollHereY on the first render frame after open)
- One-shot scroll: scrollToSelected_ cleared after first use so normal
scroll behavior is unaffected afterward
Quest tracker:
- Clicking a tracked quest now calls openAndSelectQuest() — opens the log
AND jumps to that specific quest rather than just opening to top
Hearthstone post-teleport fix:
- Expand same-map hearthstone precache from 5x5 to 9x9 tiles so workers
have more tiles parsed before the player arrives at the bind point
- After same-map teleport arrival, enqueue the full load-radius tile grid
(17x17 = 289 tiles) at the new position so background workers immediately
start loading all WMOs/M2s visible from the new location
Quest tracker improvements:
- Clicking a quest in the tracker now opens the Quest Log (L)
- Remove NoInputs flag so the tracker window receives mouse events
- Show only tracked quests in tracker; fall back to all quests if none tracked
- Add Track/Untrack button in Quest Log details panel
- Abandoning a quest automatically untracks it
- Track state stored in GameHandler::trackedQuestIds_ (per-session)
- Handle MSG_CHANNEL_START: populate unitCastStates_ for both the local
player and any non-player caster (boss/mob channeled spells); use
full uint64 GUIDs for TBC/Classic, packed GUIDs for WotLK
- Handle MSG_CHANNEL_UPDATE: sync remaining channel time; clear cast
state on channel completion (remainingMs == 0)
- Fix SMSG_RESUME_CAST_BAR: also resumes non-player units' cast bars
(previously only resumed the player's own bar after zone transitions)
- Add party member cast bars in renderPartyFrames: golden progress bar
appears beneath the power bar when a party member is casting,
leveraging the existing unitCastStates_ per-GUID map
Previously the target cast bar tracked a single target using 4 private
fields. This replaces that with unitCastStates_ (unordered_map<uint64_t,
UnitCastState>), tracking cast state for every non-player unit whose
SMSG_SPELL_START we receive.
Changes:
- GameHandler::UnitCastState struct: casting, spellId, timeRemaining,
timeTotal
- getUnitCastState(guid) → returns cast state for any tracked unit
- isTargetCasting(), getTargetCastSpellId(), getTargetCastProgress(),
getTargetCastTimeRemaining() now delegate to getUnitCastState(targetGuid)
- handleSpellStart: tracks all non-player casters (not just the target)
- handleSpellGo: erases caster from map when spell lands
- update loop: ticks down all unit cast states, erasing expired entries
- unitCastStates_ cleared on world reset
- renderBossFrames: shows red cast progress bar per boss slot with
spell name + remaining seconds — critical for instance interrupt play
Adds 5 gold/grey dot indicators below the power bar in the player frame
for Rogue (class 4) and Druid (class 11), showing the current combo
point count from SMSG_UPDATE_COMBO_POINTS. Active points are bright gold;
empty slots are dark grey. Dots are centered in the frame width.
The display is always shown for Rogues; for Druids it only appears when
combo points are non-zero (they only accumulate in Cat Form).
SMSG_SPELL_START fires for all units, not just the player. Previously only
the player's own cast was tracked; now we also track when the current
target is casting, enabling interrupt decisions.
- GameHandler: track targetCasting_/targetCastSpellId_/targetCastTimeTotal_
/targetCastTimeRemaining_ — updated by SMSG_SPELL_START for the current
target and ticked down in the update loop each frame
- Target cast cleared when: target changes (setTarget), target's spell
lands (SMSG_SPELL_GO), or cast timer expires naturally
- game_screen: renderTargetFrame shows a red cast progress bar between
the power bar and distance line when the target is casting, with
spell name + remaining seconds
- Public accessors: isTargetCasting(), getTargetCastSpellId(),
getTargetCastProgress(), getTargetCastTimeRemaining()
Renders a compact top-centre overlay showing Alliance vs Horde scores
when the player is in a recognised battleground map. Score values are
read directly from the world state map maintained by SMSG_INIT_WORLD_STATES
and SMSG_UPDATE_WORLD_STATE, so no extra server packets are needed.
Supported maps:
489 – Warsong Gulch (flag captures, max 3)
529 – Arathi Basin (resources, max 1600)
30 – Alterac Valley (reinforcements, max 600)
566 – Eye of the Storm (resources, max 1600)
607 – Strand of Ancients
When a player releases spirit, the server sends SMSG_DEATH_RELEASE_LOC
with the corpse map and position. Store this so the ghost can reclaim.
New flow:
- SMSG_DEATH_RELEASE_LOC now stores corpseMapId_/corpseX_/Y_/Z_ instead
of logging and discarding
- canReclaimCorpse(): true when ghost is on same map within 40 yards of
stored corpse position
- reclaimCorpse(): sends CMSG_RECLAIM_CORPSE (no payload)
- renderReclaimCorpseButton(): shows "Resurrect from Corpse" button at
bottom-center when canReclaimCorpse() is true
Two bugs fixed:
1. acceptResurrect() was always sending CMSG_SPIRIT_HEALER_ACTIVATE even
for player-cast resurrections (Priest/Paladin/Druid). That opcode is
only the correct response to SMSG_SPIRIT_HEALER_CONFIRM. For
SMSG_RESURRECT_REQUEST the server expects CMSG_RESURRECT_RESPONSE
with accept=1. Added resurrectIsSpiritHealer_ to track which path
triggered the dialog and send the right packet per type.
2. The resurrect dialog showed a generic "Return to life?" string
regardless of who cast the resurrection. Parse the optional CString
name from SMSG_RESURRECT_REQUEST (or fall back to playerNameCache)
and display "X wishes to resurrect you." when the caster is known.
Hang/GPU device lost fix:
- M2_INSTANCES and WMO_INSTANCES finalization phases now create instances
incrementally (32 per step / 4 per step) instead of all at once, eliminating
the >1s main-thread stalls that caused GPU fence timeouts and device loss
M2 two-pass transparent rendering:
- Opaque/alpha-test batches render in pass 1, transparent/additive in pass 2
(back-to-front sorted) to fix wing transparency showing terrain instead of
trees — adds hasTransparentBatches flag to skip models with no transparency
Tile streaming improvements:
- Sort new load queue entries nearest-first so critical tiles load before
distant ones during fast taxi flight
- Increase taxi load radius 6→8 tiles, unload 9→12 for better coverage
Water refraction gated on FSR:
- Disable water refraction when FSR is not active (bugged without upscaling)
- Auto-disable refraction if FSR is turned off while refraction was on
- SMSG_SPELLDAMAGESHIELD: parse victim/caster/damage fields and show SPELL_DAMAGE
combat text for player-relevant events (damage shields like Thorns)
- SMSG_SPELLORDAMAGE_IMMUNE: parse packed caster/victim guids and show new
IMMUNE combat text type when player is involved in an immunity event
- Add CombatTextEntry::IMMUNE type to spell_defines.hpp and render it as
white "Immune!" in the combat text overlay
- handleCompressedMoves: add MSG_MOVE_* routing so SMSG_MULTIPLE_MOVES
sub-packets (player movement batches) are dispatched to handleOtherPlayerMovement
instead of logged as unhandled; fix runtime-opcode lookup (non-static array)
Socket fixes (fixes Windows-only connection failure):
- WorldSocket::connect() now waits for non-blocking connect to complete with
select() before returning, preventing WSAENOTCONN on the first recv() call
on Windows (Linux handles this implicitly but Windows requires writability
poll after non-blocking connect)
- Add net::isConnectionClosed() helper: treats WSAENOTCONN/WSAECONNRESET/
WSAESHUTDOWN/WSAECONNABORTED as graceful peer-close rather than recv errors
- Apply isConnectionClosed() in both WorldSocket and TCPSocket recv loops
UI:
- Add renderBossFrames(): displays boss unit health bars in top-right corner
when SMSG_UPDATE_INSTANCE_ENCOUNTER_UNIT has active slots; supports
click-to-target and color-coded health bars (red→orange→yellow as HP drops)
Game object M2 models share the same default facing (+renderX) as
character models, so apply the same π/2 offset instead of π when
computing renderYawM2go from canonical yaw. This corrects street signs
and hanging shop signs that were 90° off after the server-yaw formula
fix.
Nameplates (health bar + name label) are now only rendered for the
currently targeted entity, matching WoW's default UI behaviour and
reducing visual noise.
Parse SMSG_RESYNC_RUNES, SMSG_ADD_RUNE_POWER, and SMSG_CONVERT_RUNE to
track the state of all 6 DK runes (Blood/Unholy/Frost/Death type,
ready flag, and cooldown fraction). Render a six-square rune bar below
the Runic Power bar when the player is class 6, with per-type colors
(Blood=red, Unholy=green, Frost=blue, Death=purple) and client-side
fill animation so runes visibly refill over the 10s cooldown.
Death Knights with runic power (type 6) had no power bar visible until the
server explicitly sent UNIT_FIELD_MAXPOWER1, because the type-6 max was not
included in the 'assume 100' fallback. Runic Power has a fixed cap of 100,
same as Rage (1), Focus (2), and Energy (3).
coordinates.hpp: serverToCanonicalYaw now computes s - π/2 instead of π/2 - s.
The codebase uses atan2(-dy, dx) as its canonical yaw convention, where server
direction (cos s, sin s) in (server_X, server_Y) becomes (sin s, cos s) in
canonical after the X/Y swap, giving atan2(-cos s, sin s) = s - π/2.
canonicalToServerYaw is updated as its proper inverse: c + π/2.
The old formula (π/2 - s) was self-inverse and gave the wrong east/west facing
for any NPC not pointing north or south.
game_screen.cpp: Nameplate NDC→screen Y no longer double-inverts. The camera
bakes the Vulkan Y-flip into the projection matrix (NDC y=-1 = screen top,
y=+1 = screen bottom), so sy = (ndc.y*0.5 + 0.5) * screenH is correct.
The previous formula subtracted from 1.0 which reflected nameplates vertically.
When in a group, push the pet frame below the party frame stack
(120px + members × 52px). When solo, keep it at y=125 (just below
the player frame at ~110px).
Shows active pet name, level, health bar, and power bar (mana/focus/rage/energy)
when the player has an active pet. Clicking the pet name targets it. A Dismiss
button sends CMSG_PET_ACTION to dismiss the pet. Frame uses green border to
visually distinguish it from the player/target frames.
- Implement SMSG_ENVIRONMENTAL_DAMAGE_LOG: show fall/lava/fire/drowning
damage as ENVIRONMENTAL combat text (orange -N) for the local player
- Color nameplate unit names: hostile units red, non-hostile yellow
(matches WoW's standard red=enemy / yellow=neutral convention)
XP gain was previously shown as a HEAL entry (green +N) which conflates
it with actual healing. New XP_GAIN type renders as purple '+N XP' in the
outgoing column, matching WoW's floating XP style.
Focus (2, orange), Happiness (4, green), Runic Power (6, crimson), and
Soul Shards (7, purple) were falling through to the default blue colour.
Applied consistently to the player frame, target frame, and party frames.
When an aura has more than 1 charge, render the count in gold in the
upper-left corner of the icon (with drop shadow) — same position as WoW's
stack counter. Applied to both the player buff bar and target frame auras.
Polls the renderer's currentZoneName each frame and triggers a 5-second
fade-in/hold/fade-out toast at the upper-centre of screen when the zone
changes. Matches WoW's standard zone transition display.
Prefix each nameplate name with the unit's level number. When the unit
is more than 10 levels above the player (skull-equivalent) display '??'
instead of the raw level, matching WoW's UI convention.
For each visible Unit entity within 40 yards, projects the canonical WoW
position (converted to render space) through the camera view-projection
matrix to screen pixels. Draws a health bar (hostile=red, friendly=green,
target=gold border) and name label with drop shadow using ImGui's background
draw list. Fades out smoothly in the last 5 yards of range.
Parse SPELLENERGIZELOG (victim/caster packed GUIDs + spellId + powerType +
amount) and emit ENERGIZE combat text for mana/energy gains. Add ENERGIZE
to CombatTextEntry::Type enum (blue +N text).
Also add explicit renderCombatText cases for BLOCK, PERIODIC_DAMAGE,
PERIODIC_HEAL, and ENVIRONMENTAL — previously all fell through to the
colourless default handler.
Shows the name and health bar of whoever your current target is
targeting. Reads UNIT_FIELD_TARGET_LO/HI update fields which are
populated from SMSG_UPDATE_OBJECT. Frame is positioned below and
right-aligned with the main target frame.
Matches the same fix applied to the player buff bar: icons in the
target frame now show their remaining duration at the icon bottom edge
with a drop shadow, shared between the always-visible overlay and the
hover tooltip.
Icons now show remaining time (e.g. "1:30", "45") rendered directly
on the icon bottom edge with a drop shadow, matching WoW's standard
buff display. Tooltip still shows full name + seconds on hover.
Deduplicates the nowMs/remainMs computation that was previously
recomputed in the tooltip-only path.
- Add Escape Menu → Instance Lockouts button opening a new panel
that lists active lockouts with instance name (from Map.dbc),
difficulty, time-until-reset countdown, and locked/extended status.
map name lookup is cached on first open.
