ForeverSafari

[v1.0.2] — 2026-10-17

🐛 Critical Bug Fixes

1. Turn-Based Battle Engine & Combat Log Stability

• Fixed Combat Start UI Crash: Resolved a fatal Lua runtime error (UI/BattleFrame.lua:301: attempt to call a nil value) triggered during battle initialization. Replaced non-existent legacy method :IsAtBottom() with the canonical modern Retail ScrollingMessageFrame API method :AtBottom().
• Battle Log Auto-Scroll: Messages now cleanly auto-scroll down to the latest round resolution without locking or interrupting turn sequencing.

2. SavedVariables Persistence & Session Reload Integrity

• Fixed /reload State Wipe: Resolved an issue where newly unboxed starter companions, captured wildlife, and inventory items were wiped upon UI reload or logout.
• Removed Destructive Logout Hook: Purged ForeverSafariDB = nil from ForeverSafari.lua (PLAYER_LOGOUT), ensuring ForeverSafariDB remains persistent, encrypted, and authoritative across all client sessions.

3. 3D Paperdoll Model Framing & Camera Lock Overhaul

• Purged Legacy Portrait Camera Lock: Removed hardcoded SetCustomCamera(0) and SetPortraitZoom(0) from UI/BattleFrame.lua, UI/JournalFrame.lua, UI/InspectorFrame.lua, and UI/Views/JournalRosterView.lua.
• Full Bounding-Box Perspective Rendering: Modern Retail PlayerModel now relies on canonical :SetDisplayInfo() engine framing, cleanly centering the full creature body on its arena or journal pedestal without cropping or macro-zooming into teeth or skull bones.
• Corrected Arena Facing Angles: Player companion faces diagonally forward-right toward the quarry (math.rad(45)), and wild enemy faces diagonally forward-left toward the player (math.rad(-35)).
• Smooth Spotlight Rotation & Zoom: Unified rotation state in UI/Views/JournalRosterView.lua across mouse dragging and the ◄ / ► buttons using :SetRotation().

4. Field Directives & Observation Quest Progression

• Reverted Dispatch #2 to Field Observation: Corrected Dispatch #2: Field Observation 101 (Data/BountyDB.lua) from an unintended capture requirement (CAPTURE_TOTAL) back to pure field observation (OBSERVE).
• Objective: Study 3 wild creatures in their natural habitat using the field research lens / binoculars.
• Progress Tracking Hook: Connected CaptureEngine:CompleteSnareChannel() directly to DB:UpdateQuestProgress("OBSERVE", 1).
• Verified Mailbox Reward Claiming: Validated turn-in at town mailboxes to claim +20 Safari Tokens, 3x Iron Cages, and 2x Safari Treats, cleanly unlocking Dispatch #3 (The Wild Nourishment).
