When expansion DBC layouts lack PowerType/ManaCost/CastingTimeIndex/RangeIndex,
default to UINT32_MAX instead of WotLK hardcoded indices to prevent reading wrong
data from Classic/TBC Spell.dbc files. tryLoad now skips any field index >= fieldCount.
Load SpellCastTimes.dbc and SpellRange.dbc during DBC init and
populate SpellInfo.castTimeMs, manaCost, powerType, rangeIndex.
renderSpellTooltip now shows resource cost (Mana/Rage/Energy/Focus),
cast time ("Instant cast" or "X.X sec cast"), and range ("X yd range"
or "Melee range") for active spells, matching WoW's native tooltip
layout with cost on left and cast time aligned to the right.
lookupSpellName() (called by action bar tooltips) was triggering
loadSpellDBC() early, setting dbcLoadAttempted=true before the
spellbook opened. This caused loadSkillLineDBCs() to be skipped,
so all spells were categorized into "General". Fixed by checking
each DBC's own loaded flag independently and re-categorizing when
skill line data becomes available.
- Fix SMSG_ITEM_QUERY_SINGLE_RESPONSE parsing: read statsCount stat
pairs instead of always 10, use 2 damage entries (MAX_ITEM_PROTO_DAMAGES),
and parse item spell data (spellId + spellTrigger per slot)
- Pass item spell ID in CMSG_USE_ITEM packet so server processes item
use requests (spellId=0 caused silent server rejection)
- Add spellId parameter to buildUseItem interface across all expansions
- Fix spellbook mount tab to use SkillLine 777 (Mounts) instead of 762
(Riding), so known mount summon spells appear correctly
- Fix inventory right-click: use IsItemHovered+IsMouseClicked instead
of IsItemClicked for InvisibleButton (which only tracks left-clicks)
- Fix SlotKind enum declaration order in inventory_screen.hpp
- Companion pet spells (SkillLine 778) get their own "Companions" tab
- Mounts (SkillLine 762) and Companions are now split out from secondary
skills instead of being lumped into profession tabs
- Refactored tab grouping into addGroupedTabs helper to reduce duplication
- Tab order: Specs > General > Professions > Mounts > Companions
- Double-click to summon companions/mounts works via existing castSpell
- Class spec abilities now get individual tabs (e.g. Fire, Frost, Arcane)
- Primary professions each get their own tab (Alchemy, Blacksmithing, etc.)
- Secondary professions get tabs (Cooking, First Aid, Fishing)
- Mounts tab for all spells linked to Riding skill line (762)
- General tab for everything else (racials, weapon skills, etc.)
- Tab order: specs first, then General, then professions, then Mounts
Talent screen:
- Remove all debug text and per-frame LOG_INFO spam
- Show class name in window title (e.g. "Warrior Talents")
- Display point distribution in header (0/31/20) and per-tab counts
- Highlighted active spec button with styled spec switcher
- Load and render tree background textures from TalentTab.dbc
- Draw prerequisite arrows with arrowheads (green=met, gray=unmet)
- Fix rank display (was showing rank+1, now correct 1-indexed values)
- Rank counter with dark background pill for readability
- Hover glow effect, rounded corners, centered grid layout
- Wider window (680x600) for 4-column WoW talent grid
Spellbook:
- Add search/filter bar for finding spells by name
- Add spell descriptions from Spell.dbc tooltip field
- Rich tooltips with name, rank, passive indicator, cooldown, description
- Visual icon borders: yellow=passive, red=cooldown, default=active
- Cooldown overlay on icon with countdown number
- Hover highlight on spell rows
- Tab counts update to reflect search filter results
- Rounded corners on icons and hover states
- Extracted renderSpellTooltip helper for consistent tooltip rendering
Replace all glGenTextures/glTexImage2D calls in UI code with Vulkan texture
uploads via new VkContext::uploadImGuiTexture() helper. This fixes segfaults
from calling OpenGL functions without a GL context (null GLEW function pointers).
- Add uploadImGuiTexture() to VkContext with staging buffer upload pattern
- Convert game_screen, inventory_screen, spellbook_screen, talent_screen
from GLuint/GL calls to VkDescriptorSet/Vulkan uploads
- Fix loading_screen clearValueCount (was 1, needs 2 or 3 for MSAA)
The action bar's inline Spell.dbc loader had a broken field index lookup:
operator[] on the layout map would silently insert 0 if 'Name' wasn't a
key, causing all names to be read from field 0 (the spell ID). Also the
once-only 'attempted' flag meant if assetMgr wasn't ready, it never retried.
Replace the duplicated broken DBC loading in the action bar and buff bar
with SpellbookScreen::lookupSpellName(), which reuses the spellbook's
already-correct loading (expansion layout + WotLK fallback). Remove the
now-unused actionSpellNames/actionSpellDbAttempted/actionSpellDbLoaded fields.
- audio_engine.cpp: cache key was based on vector pointer address, not
content — cache never hit since each asset load produces a new
allocation. Replace with FNV-1a over head+tail bytes + size, giving
correct content-based identity at O(1) cost. Add 256-entry cap with
eviction to prevent unbounded growth over long sessions.
- game_handler.hpp/cpp, spellbook_screen, game_screen: knownSpells was
a std::vector with O(n) std::find lookups scattered across packet
handlers and UI code. Switch to std::unordered_set for O(1) insert,
erase, and membership checks. Update all push_back/erase-remove/find
call sites to use set operations.
- 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
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
Only SkillLine category 7 (Class) gets its own tab, giving the 3 spec tabs
(e.g. Discipline/Holy/Shadow for Priest). Weapon skills, racials, professions,
and utility spells all go into the General tab.
Left-click on action bar slots now casts spells/uses items instead of starting a drag. Right-click-drag rearranges slots. Spells can be dragged from the spellbook directly onto the action bar, replacing the old "Assign to" button row.
Smooth idle camera orbit without jump at loop boundary, click empty space to
deselect target, auto-target when attacked, fix critter hostility so neutral
factions aren't flagged red, add armor/stats to item templates, fix loot
iterator invalidation, show item template names as fallback, position drop
confirmation at cursor, remove [SYSTEM] chat prefix, show NPC names in monster
say/yell, and prevent auto-login on character select screen.
- Fix white hair: always override M2 type-6 texture with DBC hair texture when available
- Fix vendor sell: add sellPrice to ItemDef/ItemTemplateRow, use directly instead of empty cache
- Fix empty loot: skip loot window when corpse has no items and no gold
- Revamp spellbook (P key): tabbed UI (General/Active/Passive), spell icons from SpellIcon.dbc, rank text
- Clean up action bar: only auto-populate Attack and Hearthstone, rest assigned via spellbook
- Add talent placeholder (N key): 3-tab window with level/talent point display
- Fix ffplay cleanup: non-blocking waitpid with SIGKILL fallback to prevent orphaned audio processes
- Fix pre-existing getQualityColor visibility for loot window rendering
- Add spellbook screen (P key) with Spell.dbc name lookup and action bar assignment

- Darken ocean water, increase wave motion and opacity
- Add M2 model distance fade-in to prevent pop-in
- Reposition chat window, add slash/enter key focus
- Remove debug key commands (keep only F1 perf HUD, N minimap)
- Performance: return chat history by const ref, use deque for O(1) pop_front
