Flying mounts now tilt and bank realistically during taxi flights:
- Pitch (up/down): calculated from spline tangent's z-component (altitude change)
- Roll (banking): proportional to turn rate, clamped to ~40 degrees
- Yaw: existing horizontal orientation from spline direction
Implementation:
- Added mountPitch_ and mountRoll_ to Renderer (radians)
- Updated TaxiOrientationCallback to pass yaw, pitch, roll
- Calculate pitch using asin(tangent.z) for altitude tilt
- Calculate roll from yaw change rate: -orientDiff * 2.5, clamped to ±0.7 rad
- Applied to mount rotation: glm::vec3(pitch, roll, yaw)
This fixes the "weirdness" where mounts flew sideways or without natural banking.
- Rider character bobs with mount's run animation (sinusoidal, 0.12u amplitude)
- Mount hoofbeat footstep sounds triggered at 4 points per animation cycle
- M key opens map directly to player's current zone instead of continent
- Mouse wheel scroll zooms map in/out between world, continent, and zone views
- Fog of war darkens unexplored zones on continent view, clears on visit
Render mount M2 model under player with seated animation, apply creature
skin textures, server-driven speed via SMSG_FORCE_RUN_SPEED_CHANGE, and
/dismount command. X11 XUngrabPointer on crash/hang to always release mouse.
Sweep step size reduced from 1.0f back to 0.65f with max 3 steps (was 2)
to prevent clipping through ramps in Stormwind. All paths updated: follow,
free-fly, and swimming.
Shadows disabled by default in renderer, settings UI, and settings defaults.
Fix spell cast target fallback using selected target instead of no-op tautology.
Fix SMSG_ITEM_QUERY_SINGLE_RESPONSE to always read 10 stat pairs (server sends
all 10 regardless of statsCount), fixing misaligned armor/stat reads. Fix XP gain
parser to read float groupRate + uint8 RAF instead of bogus uint32 groupBonus.
Add item icons and quality-colored names to loot window. Use actual character
appearance bytes for CharSections.dbc skin/face/hair lookups instead of hardcoded
defaults. Add weapon-type-aware attack animation selection (2H prioritizes anim 18).
Add readable spell cast failure messages and vendor sell hint.
Split inventory into bags-only (B key) and character screen (C key). Vendor window
auto-opens bags with sell prices on hover and right-click to sell. Add camera intro
pan on all login/spawn/teleport/hearthstone events and idle orbit after 2 minutes.
Add quest log UI, SMSG_MONSTER_MOVE handling, deferred creature spawn queue, and
creature fade-in/movement interpolation for online mode.
Render the world into an off-screen MSAA RGBA16F framebuffer, resolve
to a regular texture, then blit to screen via a fullscreen quad shader.
This sets up the infrastructure for future HDR tonemapping and SSAO
(depth texture preserved for sampling). Currently a passthrough until
HDR light sources are added. Login screen bypasses the FBO and renders
directly to the default framebuffer.
