Both modules had already grown a pool by hand. loothistory kept usedPlayers /
freePlayers tables with a recycle loop and a table.remove acquire; mapreveal
kept pfOverlays keyed by index, a pfOverlayMax high-water mark, and a
hide-the-tail loop. Replace both with ClassicAPI's Pools.lua backport, which
is what modules/tooltip.lua already uses for its buff icons.
The map explore icons change shape rather than just plumbing. Everything
constant -- size, scripts, mouse, frame level, the magnifying glass texture --
moves into the pool's creator instead of being re-set on every overlay on
every map update, and the acquire moves inside the visibility test. The old
loop built and configured an icon for every overlay in the zone and then hid
most of them again; with "mapexploration" off it built the whole set and hid
all of them. Now nothing is acquired for an icon that will not be shown.
The tile textures lose their pfRevealN names, since pools create anonymous
regions. They were already unique, so nothing was being clobbered -- this
only costs their labels in /fstack.
The RegisterSlashCommand helper in api/api.lua was effectively unused
(only macrotweak called it); every other command hand-rolled the
SLASH_*/SlashCmdList pair. Convert the existing manual registrations to
the helper with force=true, preserving the current always-bind behavior
while centralizing the pattern behind one code path (and its _G. and
conflict-check handling).
Left as-is: pfUI.lua's /rl, /pfui, /gm (registered before api.lua
defines the helper) and the vendored libs' debug commands.
A pfUI-native group-loot roll history window built on ClassicAPI's
C_LootHistory backport, adapted from the anniversary Blizzard reference.
- Movable/scrollable window (ESC-closable, Clear button) listing rolled
items; each row expands to per-player rolls.
- Item icon/name/quality rendered via the !!!ClassicAPI Item mixin
(Item:CreateFromItemLink + ContinueOnItemLoad), so uncached items load
asynchronously and repaint their row.
- Winner shown on the collapsed row (name/roll/roll-type) and marked in the
expanded list with a checkmark left of the name (matches the reference).
- Expansion state keys on the stable rollID; events (FULL_UPDATE /
ROLL_CHANGED / ROLL_COMPLETE) drive a rebuild while shown, and re-attach
the scroll child so a growing list scrolls without a /reload.
- Toggle via /loothistory or /lh; optional auto-show on new rolls behind
loothistory.autoshow (default off).
