v1.8.1 — Hotfix: Player Level Detection on Anniversary Servers

Bugfix: Player level not being detected correctly

  • Fixed an issue where UnitLevel("player") returned 0 on TBC Anniversary servers when called during early addon loading (ADDON_LOADED event)
  • GetPlayerInfo() now guards against storing a 0 level — only updates the stored level when the API returns a valid value greater than 0
  • Added a 1-second delayed level refresh after PLAYER_LOGIN and PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD events to catch cases where the Anniversary client populates level data later than expected
  • Hardened the PLAYER_LEVEL_UP event handler with tonumber() conversion and a UnitLevel("player") fallback, preventing issues if the event argument is nil or malformed

Quality of Life

  • /hdu status now displays both the addon's stored level and the raw API value side-by-side for easier debugging (e.g. "Level: 70 (API: 70)")

Impact: This fix resolves issues where the addon treated max-level characters as level 0, which prevented the level 70 endgame build chooser from appearing, blocked Spell Flash and Rotation Guide access (gated at level 10+), and caused the Upgrade Tracker and Gear Score features to behave incorrectly.

🔮 Coming in v1.9.0: Phase 3 (Hyjal/BT) BiS gear data, talent import/export strings, and in-game build sharing between guild members.
