GetPlayerCoords used raw GetPlayerMapPosition('player'), which returns
0,0 when the world map isn't on the player's zone (the usual case) and
mis-reports on Ascension subzones like Sunstrider. Learn events captured
no position, so NPCs were saved spawnSource='fallback' with no [7]
spawns and their learner-only pins never persisted -- showing briefly
after a live kill then vanishing. Read from HBD:GetPlayerZonePosition()
(robust SetMapToCurrentZone/Sunstrider-corrected, cached), falling back
to the old API only if HBD is unavailable.
Hardens the learner data-ingestion paths against malformed/partial data
across NPC/object/item/quest types:
- _ValidateLearnedSpawnData now validates object spawn coordinates (key 4)
in addition to NPC spawns (key 7); object coords were previously
unvalidated. Extracted a shared _ValidateCoordTable helper.
- _ApplyIncomingNetworkMerge coordinate merge skips malformed zone keys and
coordinates (non-number / out-of-range) per entry instead of erroring,
and guards the item drop-list merge against non-number NPC ids.
- The live comms-merge flush isolates each broadcast in a pcall so one
malformed entry can't abort the batch or break the live-update loop;
the post-merge InjectLearnedData is also guarded.
Live Learn* entry points already validate id/type. selene 0 errors;
busted 145 successes / same 7 pre-existing failures.
Reverts the previous approach of stripping char.complete (which mutated
completed-quest data). Correct rule: a quest in the player's log is active
and should show its turn-in location regardless of the completed flag.
- AddFinisher now trusts the live quest log: if the quest is in
currentQuestlog and not failed, the '?' finisher draws regardless of the
(possibly stale, e.g. prior-prestige) char.complete flag. No completion
data is modified. Reverts the AcceptQuest and QUEST_QUERY_COMPLETE strips.
- Learner: OnTargetChanged now learns quest-giver/turn-in NPC spawns
(it previously only cached the GUID), so targeting a turn-in NPC records
its location. OnQuestComplete/OnQuestTurnedIn fall back to the 'target'
unit when the 'npc' gossip unit is already cleared, so the finisher NPC
is reliably learned on turn-in.
selene 0 errors; busted 145 successes / same 7 pre-existing failures.
The previous ElvUI-style border was too thick and uneven (thicker at the
top): it used Interface\ChatFrame\ChatFrameBackground with edgeSize = 1 UI
*unit*, which renders several physical pixels thick at the user's UI scale,
and a 1x1 texture that samples unevenly along edges.
Now copies ElvUI/Core/Toolkit.lua SetTemplate exactly: the blank texture
E.media.blankTex (Interface\Buttons\WHITE8X8) for bg + edge, and edgeSize =
E.mult (one physical pixel = (768 / screenHeight) / uiScale) so the border
is a true even 1px. Colors unchanged (ElvUI defaults the user runs):
backdropfadecolor {0.06,0.06,0.06} @ colorAlpha 0.8, bordercolor black.
Factored into QuestieTooltips:ApplyElvUISkin so the secondary learner frame
and the default tooltips share one implementation.
The InjectLearnedData purge loop was deleting entire NPC entries from
Questie.dbLearner.global.npcs whenever data[7] (spawns) was empty,
even if the entry still had a name, home zone, recorded kills, or
quest references. This caused learner data to silently disappear on
/reload for NPCs that had been learned but never killed in a position
the learner could record (e.g. party-kill position attribution fix
now passes nil coords for uncredited kills).
Now only purges when ALL of name, zone, kills, and quest references
are missing. Entries with other useful state get data[7] set to nil
instead so the row stays.
- ElvUI tooltip style: new 'ElvUI tooltip style' option (General tab, on by
default) skins GameTooltip/WorldMapTooltip/ItemRefTooltip/shopping tooltips
and the secondary learner frame with ElvUI's transparent flat look (dark bg
+ thin 1px border) when ElvUI is not installed. Corrected the secondary
frame fallback that used the chunky WoW border. No-op when ElvUI is loaded.
- Source attribution now shows ONLY inside the secondary learner tooltip when
'Use secondary learner tooltip' is enabled; removed from the main NPC/object/
item tooltip and gated off entirely when the secondary tooltip is disabled
(map-pin source gated the same way).
- Fixed learner-learned pins mislabelled 'AscensionDB': GetPinDataSource is now
mode-aware and returns 'Learner' in learner mode when the entity has a learner
record, even if AscensionDB also curates it (curated coords are discarded by
GetNPC/GetObject in learner mode anyway).
Test-neutral (145 successes / same 7 pre-existing failures + 1 error).
The 'Use secondary learner tooltip' option's off-path appended learner
spawn/kill lines directly to the main GameTooltip. The toggle now gates
the data entirely: on = shown in the separate secondary frame, off = not
shown anywhere. Learner spawn/kill data is never inline in the main NPC
tooltip under any setting.
Removed the now-unused _AddTooltipSeparator helper and updated the option
description.
On PARTY_KILL and unengaged kills, the learner was recording the local
player's position (GetCurrentPlayerPosition) as the spawn location.
This polluted the learner's spawn map with the wrong coords. Now only
records position for credited kills (your own kills or mobs you damaged
within the last 60 seconds).
Three-mode spawn-merge semantics:
- Learner: discard npcDataOverrides (which AscensionDB's _Asc_MergeInto
populates with curated coords). GetNPC returns learnerRecord only.
_ApplyNpcLiveUpdate and object-spawn injection use IsAscensionProtected
(mode-dependent) so learner coords pass through in learner mode.
- Auto: static DB primary, learner fills gaps. Curated spawns protected.
- Static: base DB only.
Also removes the allowSpawnMerge bypass that was the original hole
letting learner coords leak into curated spawns in auto mode.
Some Area 52 quest records store qData[2][3] as a flat number instead of
a table-of-tables. The inner loop's entry[1] index then crashes with
'attempt to index local entry (a number value)'. Normalize with a
type check before comparing.
Mana Wyrm 15274 (quest 8325) pins rendered in the NE corner because the
learner's Sunstrider spawns leaked into the curated AscensionDB coords.
Root causes:
- In learner mode GetNPC uses rawdata = learner record, and _MergeOverride
deep-merges spawn tables, so the learner's bad zone (1445 @ 54,12)
survived since AscensionDB had no entry to displace it.
- The injection guards used IsAscensionProtected(), which returns false in
learner mode, so the learner overrode AscensionDB-owned spawns. Commit
0f20ea8 had also added a (not learnerLiveMode) bypass to the
_MergeSpawnEvidence Sunstrider guard, re-enabling the e80a008 regression.
Fixes:
- QuestieDB.GetNPC: for AscensionDB-owned NPC spawns (direct
ascensionOverrideKeys check), use ONLY the curated override spawns and
discard the merged learner zones.
- New mode-independent AscensionOwnsNpcSpawns() helper; used by the
InjectLearnedData spawn restore and the _MergeSpawnEvidence guard
(removed the (not learnerLiveMode) bypass).
Regression test asserts GetNPC returns only the curated 1241 coords and
drops the learner 1445 zone.
Follow-up to da5546f: the previous restore read the POST-migration data[7]
keys and ran them through NormalizeSpawnZoneKey. On Sunstrider that round-
tripped uiMapId 1241 -> parent areaId 3430 -> Eversong map 1941, placing
learner pins in the wrong (NE) corner of the map.
Now snapshot each NPC's [7] spawns in their NATIVE uiMapId space BEFORE the
uiMapId->areaId migration runs, and restore from that snapshot with no key
conversion. This keys the override exactly like the live _MergeSpawnEvidence
kill path (e.g. 1241 for Sunstrider), so pins render on the correct map and
HBD isSameZoneSpace handles Eversong<->Sunstrider visibility. Still gated by
IsAscensionProtected. Regression test extended to assert spawns land on 1241
and NOT 1941/3430/3431.
Document why stripping [7] in InjectLearnedData is only safe because the
guarded restore block below re-merges saved spawns (normalized to uiMapId).
Prevents re-introducing bug 7ce0cdc (learner quests losing pins on /reload
until the mob is re-killed).
InjectLearnedData stripped each learned NPC's spawn field [7] when injecting
into npcDataOverrides (CopyWithoutField(data,7) / k~=7), deferring to
_MergeSpawnEvidence. That promoter only runs on live kill evidence, so spawns
learned in a prior session never returned to the queryable DB on /reload, and
a freshly accepted quest (8325 -> Mana Wyrm 15274 on Sunstrider) had no pins
until the mob was re-killed.
Re-merge the saved [7] spawns into the override at injection time, normalized
to the canonical uiMapId via NormalizeSpawnZoneKey (so an areaId left by the
uiMapId->areaId migration, e.g. 3431/3430, maps back to 1241 for the renderer/
HBD), deep-merged with InsertIfNewBucket, and gated by IsAscensionProtected so
curated AscensionDB coords are never overwritten (always restored in learner
mode; in auto mode only non-curated NPCs). Regression from 7ce0cdc.
OnQuestAccepted now seeds objective pins directly from the SavedVariables
learner payload (objIndex) on accept in learner mode, instead of waiting
for quest-log text sync — so quests like 8325 spawn pins immediately when
the objective mapping already exists. The accept-time ID lookup is widened
from killcredit to also cover monster objectives, and falls back to
objData.Id when no IdList is present.
- QuestieLib.GetColoredQuestName now nil-guards QuestieDB.GetQuest() before reading .isComplete
- TooltipHandler.AddItemDataToTooltip re-keyed on itemId only (was firing on every ElvUI refresh)
- Removed unconditional ResizeTooltip call from item tooltip path (caused first-hover pop)
- OnQuestDetail no longer writes objectives text to data[6] or quest body to data[17] or zoneId to data[8]
- OnQuestAccepted documents why requiredLevel/requiredRaces/requiredClasses are intentionally not captured
- Reused logIdx from data build pass instead of redeclaring it for the objective scan
- Secondary learner tooltip now matches GameTooltip style with or without ElvUI (defers to ElvUI when loaded, replicates its Transparent template otherwise)
- Combined-tooltip learner stats now framed by invisible spacer lines for visual separation
