When cursor hits an object (hitType=2), re-call WorldIntersectionTest
with flags=0 to get terrain position behind it. Replaces the GUID-based
unit position lookup which failed for GOs (no movement struct).
Extract duplicated WoW 1.12.1 addresses and game accessor functions
into shared modules (src/offsets.zig, src/wow.zig), replacing 5+
copies of getObjectByGUID, isInBattleground, isValidPtr, etc.
- src/offsets.zig: shared address constants (object manager, descriptor
fields, map/zone, core function addresses, D3D9/GX)
- src/wow.zig: shared accessor functions (pointer validation, object
manager traversal, field reads, unit helpers, battleground detection,
game function wrappers, raid target cache)
- Update 10 modules to import from shared instead of inline constants
- Remove outline/wow.zig (promoted to src/wow.zig)
- Trim outline/offsets.zig and markers/offsets.zig to module-specific only
Reads current map type from ObjMgr+0xCC -> Map.dbc row+0x08 and blocks
marker placement when mapType == 3 (battleground). Clearing markers
still works in BGs. Shows "World Markers unavailable in battlegrounds."
via the existing deny message system.
UpdateHitTest returns hit type 2 (object) when the cursor is over a
unit/game object, with the intersection point landing at the camera
position rather than the object. Detect object hits via the hit type
field and resolve the object's actual world position from its GUID
stored in the HitTestResult.
Replace Lua-side permission checks with direct memory reads in the DLL.
All marker mutation functions now verify sender identity against the
raid roster / party leader GUID without touching Lua state.
- Add getPlayerGUID (0x468550), getNameFromGUID (name cache at 0xc0e228)
- Add canSetMarkers: checks local player is leader/officer via roster
- Add senderHasPermission: verifies sender name against roster ranks
- Add senderInGroup: weaker check for sync relay (any rank)
- WorldMarker/ClearWorldMarker return 1/nil for addon feedback
- SetMarkerDef/ClearMarkerDef take sender name param, verify DLL-side
- SetMarkerDefSync: dual check (local=leader + sender in group)
- CanSetMarkers() Lua function for addon broadcast decisions
- Remove Lua-side canSetMarkers/senderHasPermission from Markers.lua
- Add offsets: LEADER_GUID, RAID_ROSTER_ARRAY, RAID_MEMBER_COUNT, etc.
Markers now survive zone transitions via persistent MarkerDef structs
(position + area ID) that are NOT cleared during world teardown. The
per-frame tick detects zombie entities (refcount <= 1 from game culling)
and respawns markers when the player approaches within 200 yards.
New DLL Lua APIs: SetMarkerDef, ClearMarkerDef, GetMarkerDef for the
addon to store/query definitions without immediate entity creation.
Addon layer adds group sync via CHAT_MSG_ADDON messages using colon-
delimited protocol (P:idx:x:y:z:area, C:idx, CA, SR, SF:...). Wraps
WorldMarker/ClearWorldMarker to broadcast on placement. Permission
model: raid leader/assist or party leader only.
Fix lua_pushnumber calling convention: Ghidra confirms it is thiscall
(ECX=L, f64 on stack [EBP+8]/[EBP+0xc], ret 8), not fastcall. The
patched inreg fastcall was shoving the f64's low dword into EDX,
producing garbage values like 1.17e-250 from 1810.
- Hook OnWorldUpdate (0x482EA0) for per-frame tick while world is active
- Remove Lua OnUpdate animation driver (ProcessMarkerAnimations)
- Add DistanceToMark(index) Lua API returning player-to-marker distance
- Track marker positions DLL-side for distance queries
- Clean up positions on marker clear and world teardown
The marker cleanup hook on CleanupWorldAndEntities was never installed —
markers.installHooks() was missing from install() in main.zig. Entities
created via WorldMarker were never cleaned up before the game's atexit
handler iterated the hash table over freed heap memory.
Key changes:
- Add markers.installHooks() call (the actual crash fix)
- Replace manual install/uninstall/shutdown lists with a single modules
table that drives all three phases — prevents this class of bug
- Gate marker Lua functions, addon, and keybindings behind isActive()
so they're skipped when another DLL owns the hooks
- Add world_cleanup_hook.detach() to removeHooks() (was missing)
- Migrate from vendored libs/hook to external zhook dependency
- Unify installHooks return types to void across all modules
- Add diagnostic logging to marker cleanup (temporary, for testing)
Cursor terrain: UpdateHitTest raycast through mouse cursor, zero-before-check
to distinguish terrain hits from no-hit (both return hitType=0 outside AoE).
Animation: PlayBoneAnimation wrapper calls Stand->Hold on spawn, Decay on
despawn with lazy 700ms deferred cleanup. Not yet working correctly --
animations may not be taking effect or IDs may need verification.
Hook 5 intercepts loadModelFromFileAsync (0x71d4e0) to synchronously load M2
model data for fake in-memory file contexts. processLoadedModelData returns 1
and entities are created, but file context cleanup is currently skipped (leaks
0x60 bytes per load) due to a crash in the cleanup path, and there's a later
EIP=0 crash during the game main loop that needs investigation.
Also adds: combatlog module stub, framecrash anchor vtable hooks (GetRelativeTo
and GetWidth/GetHeight crash guards), embedded Raid_UI_FX model assets with
skins and textures, WU_XYZ debug model.
The native high-level destructor counterpart to CreateEntityInstance_WithAttachment.
Properly detaches from render lists and scene graph before freeing memory,
fixing the delayed crash from dangling pointers in the per-frame render path.
Markers are now created via the game's high-level entity factory (0x6707c0)
which handles spatial registration, render setup, and lifecycle internally.
Removed ~300 lines of dead code: manual game object list insertion, A/B mode
switching, parity scanning, and model attachment wrappers.
Creation works (markers visible). Destruction still crashes — needs correct
destructor for entities created via CreateWorldUnit path (not DestroyWorldObjectAndRelease).
Markers: client-side world object system using CreateGameObject. Places
M2 models at arbitrary world positions via Lua commands (/mark test,
/mark pos). Includes embedded addon, xyz.m2/blp assets served from DLL
memory, position helpers from unit movement struct, and object lifecycle
management (create, cleanup, reposition, alpha, animation).
Framecrash: stub module with reference to crash at 0x007A2452.
Console: debug output via AllocConsole/WriteConsoleA, compiles out
entirely in non-Debug builds. Used by markers and file serve logging.
Build: markers added to feature flag matrix and all-variants step.
Main: conditional markers import, Lua function registration, embedded
addon + asset file serving, console init/deinit lifecycle.
Outline README: added misc planned features and debug mode notes.
