Brings the still-needed changes from questie-phase1perf that main lacked.
Main already had the Lua 5.0 shims (QuestieLoader bit/strsplit, QuestieStream
and QuestieSerializer math.mod sweep), so those are omitted.
- QuestieNameplate: skip missing entries instead of return-aborting the whole
activeGUIDs loop (one bad unit no longer stalls every nameplate update)
- QuestieQuest.ClearAllNotes: skip DB-missing quests instead of aborting, so
remaining quests' notes still get cleared
- QuestieOptionsTracker: fix fadeTickerValue:Cancel -> fadeTicker:Cancel (3x);
fadeTickerValue is a number, the ticker handle is fadeTicker
- QuestieCommsData: nil-guard GetNPC/GetObject before reading .name
- QuestieAnnounce: bound the alreadySentBandaid dedup cache (reset at 1000)
- QuestieDB.IsComplete: hoist GetQuest into expectedQuest (one call, not two)
- QuestieFramePool/QuestieFrame: drop the dead BaseOnUpdate ticker branch
(BaseOnUpdate was never defined; behavior was always OnUpdate=nil)
- QuestieLib: document unused questId arg on Ascension_IsScalingEnabled
- Database/Corrections x3: strip stray UTF-8 BOM
- Questie-X.toc: remove duplicate QuestieSlash.lua load line
Ascension board bounties (e.g. NPC 24 'Outlaw's Contract Board') aren't
reliably flagged repeatable, so IsRepeatable missed them and their ! kept
showing below 60. Add QuestieDB.IsBoardQuest (detects starter NPC/object
names containing 'board', cached per quest); the hide-below-60 option now
hides repeatable OR board quests in both the draw path and ShouldBeHidden.
- 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).
In learner-only mode the map/minimap drew curated AscensionDB (and static)
spawns for every quest NPC/object the player had not personally recorded.
GetNPC/GetObject fall back to the npcDataOverrides/objectDataOverrides
entry for metadata when there is no learner record, and that entry's
spawns (AscensionDB-curated for un-recorded entities) were drawn as pins.
Both now track whether a real learner record exists and, in learner mode,
strip spawns when it does not -- so learner-only shows exclusively what the
learner recorded (metadata fallback for names/tooltips kept). GetObject
also now nils the override in learner mode to match GetNPC. Recorded
entities still show their learner spawns; auto/static/none unchanged.
Verified test-neutral on the full suite (144 successes / same 7 pre-existing
failures) with a local regression test that passes with the fix and fails
without it.
Re-adds the 'Show data source' tooltip option (General tab, default off),
but accurate this time. The previous version was removed because it
guessed the source from the global data-source mode (showing Learner when
data was AscensionDB, etc.). This tags each pin with its real provenance
at creation and reads that tag.
- QuestieDB.GetPinDataSource(entityType, id, spawnData): resolves
Learner (per-spawn isLearned or learner record), AscensionDB (curated
ascensionOverrideKeys override), or base Questie DB. Never guesses.
- Objective pins tagged per-spawn in _DetermineIconsToDraw; available/
finisher pins defaulted by quest in DrawWorldIcon; manual notes tagged
Townsfolk in DrawManualIcon.
- World-map pins read the per-pin tag (MapIconTooltip); unit/object/item
hovers derive per-id at the render layer (TooltipHandler via
QuestieTooltips:GetDataSourceLine). Comms appended via KeyExists.
- No line shown when source is genuinely unknown (never misleading).
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.
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.
In 'auto' data-source mode, QuestieDB.GetQuest now overlays the
SavedVariables learner record on top of the static DB quest, filling only
nil fields and deep-merging objectives/objIndex. Fixes quests like 8325
where the shipped DB has only a stub record but QuestieLearner holds the
real objective mapping that the stub was blocking. Learner data never
overwrites a present static value, so it strictly enriches.
- Add CopySpawnTable and MergeSpawnTables helpers to deep-merge spawn
coordinate lists (zoneId -> {{x,y}, ...}) instead of replacing them
wholesale. Previously an override containing spawns would clobber the
base list, reducing visible pins for any NPC with partial overrides
(Sunstrider Isle calibration, Ascension area-specific fixes, etc.).
- _MergeOverride now special-cases the 'spawns' key to call the merger
with the base spawn table as a fallback when override is empty.
- GetSuppressedNPCs/Objects now check ld.settings.enabled alongside
prioritizeMyData. When the learner is fully disabled, the suppression
pass is skipped entirely (additive and AND-only).
- Fix: isSunstrider block in _MergeSpawnEvidence now checks IsAscensionProtected
before writing learner data to npcDataOverrides. Without this guard, each Mana
Wyrm kill overwrote AscensionDB's z1241=5 data with learner z3431 coords.
- Fix: Clustering disabled for zone 1241 (Sunstrider Isle) in _DrawObjectiveIcons
so all 5 AscensionDB spawn pins display individually instead of collapsing to 2.
- Fix: Ghost pin loop in AvailableQuests.lua -- 'while frames[i]' was iterating a
string-keyed table with a numeric index (never iterated). Changed to pairs().
- Fix: NormalizeSpawnZoneKey now uses ZoneDB.areaIdToUiMapId for all zones so
learner evidence is stored under map IDs (e.g. 1241) not area IDs (e.g. 3431),
matching AscensionDB's key space. Applied in LearnNPC and _StoreGuidSpawnEvidence.
- Fix: isSunstrider detection in _MergeSpawnEvidence updated from hardcoded
zoneId==3431 check to IsSunstriderNativeZone() since zone IDs are now normalized
to map IDs at storage time.
- zoneDB: remap areaId 3431 → uiMapId 1241 (Sunstrider Isle) so quest 8335
pins render on correct map instead of Eversong Woods (1941)
- compat/HBD: remove 1241→1941 redirect (Sunstrider pins now handled by zoneDB)
- compiler: QuerySingle override check skips empty tables (next() guard) so
spawn data overrides don't fall through to nil base DB values
- MapIconTooltip: nil guards for minLevel/maxLevel to prevent crashes
- Map/QuestieMap: remove stale 1241→1941 redirect comment
Two fixes for QuestieLearner real-time pin rendering:
1. _MergeOverride now skips empty tables (IsEmptyTable guard).
QuestieLearner stores spawns={} before any coords are captured.
Previously _MergeOverride treated {} as valid data and replaced the
base DB's real spawn coordinates with an empty table, breaking pins
for all NPCs that had been seen but not killed (mouseovers, etc.).
2. _InvalidateSpawnListsForNPC triggers after LearnNPC adds new spawn data.
The quest objective system caches spawnList once per objective.
When a kill adds new coordinates, the cached list is stale.
The new helper:
- Scans all active quest objectives for references to the NPC
- Clears objective.spawnList and objective.AlreadySpawned
- Calls QuestieQuest:UpdateQuest to rebuild pins with fresh data
This makes learned pins appear in real-time without /reload.
When UpdateNearestTargets uses ZoneDB:GetAreaIdByUiMapId(946) to verify
player zone, it returns 668 (Northshire) instead of 3430 (Sunstrider).
UiMapIdOverrides[946] was set to 668 for Northshire, so 946 always
resolves to Northshire's areaId even on Sunstrider Isle.
Added direct cache entries for both 1241→3430 and 946→3430 in the
uiMapIdToAreaIdCache (the fast-path lookup table) so GetAreaIdByUiMapId
returns the correct Sunstrider Isle areaId regardless of which map ID
the game returns.
- zoneDB.lua: Add [946] = 3430 to UiMapIdOverrides so GetCurrentZoneId()
returns 3430 (Sunstrider Isle areaId) even when the game returns uiMapId 946
(ghost/loading map). Previously 946 had no override, causing zone lookups to
fall through and return 946 instead of the real zone, breaking arrow distance
calculation and target filtering.
- QuestieArrow.lua: UpdateNearestTargets uses QuestiePlayer:GetCurrentUiMapId()
(backed by C_Map.GetBestMapForUnit) for player position. When that returns an
invalid/ghost map (946/947/0), fall back to ZoneDB lookup via the actual
zoneId. This ensures the arrow gets real world coordinates regardless of
whether the world map is open or closed.
Also includes per-frame debug output when debugArrow profile is enabled.
- Tooltip.lua: Add type guard 'if type(objList) ~= table then break end'
before iterating learnedNpc[10] and learnedObj[10] in both m_/NPC and o_/object
paths. Prevents 'attempt to index field questData (a string value)' error
when the questData field is unexpectedly a string instead of a table.
The original loop used 'for questId, objList in next, learnedNpc[10]' which
iterates key-value pairs in insertion order. The _AddToArray helper stores
values as sequential array elements (tbl[key]=value via table.insert), but
the iteration was treating it as a questId->objList map. Fixed to use
ipairs-style iteration with a type check for robustness.
Root cause: _LoadCorrections writes to QuestieDB.objectData (binary DB companion) but GetObject reads from QueryObject binary handle + objectDataOverrides. Items in Load() path are patching the binary DB so never reach GetObject's override check. Moving 176213 to LoadFactionFixes puts it directly in objectDataOverrides, the path GetObject actually reads.
- HBD.lua: Cache GetPlayerWorldPosition/GetPlayerZonePosition at 50ms
intervals instead of hammering GetPlayerMapPosition() every frame.
Invalidate cache on PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD and ZONE_CHANGED_* events.
Expected ~97% reduction in C API position calls (45,570 -> ~1,200 / 10min).
- zoneDB.lua: Replace O(n) linear scan in GetAreaIdByUiMapId with an
O(1) reverse lookup cache (uiMapIdToAreaIdCache) built at Initialize().
Cache is kept in sync by ApplyCustomZones and name-match fallback now
caches its result so subsequent calls are also O(1).
- Tooltip.lua: Throttle GameTooltip OnUpdate hook to 100ms intervals
(was firing every frame at 60-144 Hz). Added _tooltipLastText cache
to avoid redundant GetText() + CountTooltip() calls when nothing changed.
- QuestieArrow.lua: Hoist _HasMissingCompletedFlag, _GetCompleteIconType,
_CollectFinisherSpawns, and _CollectObjective out of _CollectQuestTargets
to module-level functions. These were re-created as closures on every
UpdateNearestTargets call (1 Hz). Shared per-cycle context is published
via _arrow_* module upvalues to avoid closure capture overhead.
- QuestieLearnerComms.lua: Four micro-optimizations:
(1) Reduce ProcessQueues ticker 0.2s -> 0.5s (still 7x faster than
minChatInterval of 3.5s).
(2) Cache hidden channel ID at init; lazy refresh on disconnect.
(3) Drop LibDeflate compress level 9 -> 1 (fraction of CPU cost).
(4) O(1) messageCacheCount counter replaces O(n) pairs() size scan.
- NPC 5467 (Deep Dweller): Replace single spawn point with 28 locations
scraped from Wowhead covering the eastern Tanaris coast area
- NPC 5470 (Raging Dune Smasher): Was nil in all databases, added 23
spawn locations in the Abyssal Sands (southwest Tanaris)
- Fixes added to both classicNPCFixes.lua and tbcNPCFixes.lua
- Quest 50006 (Sandstone Giants) killCreditObjective already updated in
previous commit to include all 4 giant NPCs (5466, 5467, 5469, 5470)
All four giant types now have correct spawn data for minimap pin display.
