🔨 Live Bidding 2.0.2 — Changelog

🌟 3D World-Space Auction Board

• Holographic 3D Auction Board (WorldAuctionPanelRenderer & WorldPanelCanvas):
  • Large, flat 400×240 pixel board anchored statically at a fixed world coordinate and yaw angle in 3D space (no billboarding).
  • Rendered with depth testing, translucent blending, and sub-millimeter Z-layering (LAYER_Z_STEP = -0.008f) to eliminate Z-fighting and parallax distortion from steep camera angles.
  • Ground Clearance Protection (computeSafeCenterY): Automatically lifts the board above terrain and stair blocks so it never sinks into the floor.
  • Floating Header: Centered glowing title floating smoothly above the main dark-glass backboard (#AA101010 with a 1px contour).

✨ Visual Polish & Animations

• Seamless Corner-Wrapping Neon Snake (drawBorderComet):
  • Full perimeter-based mathematical recalculation: glides smoothly around all 4 rounded corners without edge clipping or truncation.
  • Features a luminous spark head with double-layered bloom (headXY = perimeterPoint) and an exponential fade tail (tailAlpha).
• Luxury 3D Progress Bar (drawProgressBar):
  • Recessed inner track with subtle depth shadow.
  • Precise scale tick marks at 25%, 50%, and 75% for quick visual time estimation.
  • Horizontal gradient fill with an animated traveling energy pulse / shimmer wave and a bright leading-edge indicator.
  • Top 3D glass highlight strip for high-end glassmorphism styling.
• Glass-Card Countdown & Status Section:
  • The bottom-left timer section (y = 212..248) is now encapsulated into a sleek rounded glass card.
  • Glowing clock badge (MM:SS), dynamic status callout badges ("SLOT #1 READY", "AUCTION LIVE", "LAST CALL"), and the new glossy progress bar.
• Item Vitrine & Winner Screen:
  • Square showcase with animated End-Portal / Glint shader shimmer, rotating 3D ItemStack, item name, and quantity.
  • Seamless transition into the Winner Screen upon auction completion (WINNER in gold, large player head, name, winning bid, and late-payments countdown).
• Transaction Feed:
  • Right-aligned Total Revenue in glowing green (#33FF33), payment count, and scrollable transaction list with player heads, arrow icons (↗), usernames, and white amounts.
