NARC

v1.3.0 (2026-04-05)

Full Changelog Previous Releases

• Dim offline members in main display, bump to 1.3.0
  Rows for guild or group members who are currently offline render at
  45% alpha with "(offline)" appended to the name. Online status is
  computed once per table rebuild from guild roster, party/raid, and
  self, so row lookups are O(1). Stale entries for members not in any
  roster show as offline until they age out of the 7 day cache.
  A new roster event frame listens to GUILD_ROSTER_UPDATE,
  GROUP_ROSTER_UPDATE, and PLAYER_GUILD_UPDATE and refreshes the visible
  table when members log on or off. NarcReceiverUI.Show requests a
  fresh guild roster so dimming is accurate immediately when the window
  opens.
  Bump version to 1.3.0.

• Add Great Vault tracking with main UI and RC columns
  Captures each member's weekly Great Vault (3 Raid, 3 Mythic+, 3 World
  reward slots), broadcasts snapshots guild-wide, and hooks
  C_WeeklyRewards.ClaimReward to record the chosen item. Stored item
  links preserve full context (sockets, tertiary stats, ilvl, bonus IDs).
  New NARC_Vault.lua handles collection, wire format (control-byte
  delimited so embedded item link pipes do not collide), passive
  broadcast, claim hook, and a five-layer stale guard (write, broadcast,
  receive, store, render) keyed on a weekId from
  C_DateAndTime.GetWeeklyResetStartTime. Previous weeks' data is
  aggressively purged and never broadcast or displayed.
  Main UI: new Vault column with icon status (dash, pending, claimed)
  and a hover popup showing a 3x3 grid of Raid/Mythic+/World slots with
  item icons, ilvls, a green check on the claimed slot, and
  progress/threshold for unearned slots. Popups open instantly; leaving
  uses a 250ms delay to prevent flicker; hovering a different column's
  popup zone closes the current popup immediately.
  RCLootCouncil: new Vault column with the same status icon and a
  tooltip listing all nine reward options with a [Chosen] marker.
  Toggleable via settings, defaults on.
  Frame width now auto-sizes from TABLE_W so new columns do not clip.
  Scroll bar is hidden for a cleaner window (mouse wheel still works).
  Debug commands: /narc vault, /narc vault broadcast, /narc vault purge.

• Add version check window and /narc version command
  New NARC_Version.lua ships an ephemeral VREQ/VRES protocol and a
  scope-switching window (guild / party / raid) that lists responders
  with semver-aware comparison against the highest version seen. Self
  is pinned at the top; guild view sorts by rank. The existing scan
  and passive broadcast paths now piggyback a VER/PVER message so
  cache entries carry the reporter's addon version for future format
  invalidation, kept independent of data-field rewrites.
  Main window gets a "v" icon button next to rescan, the hardcoded
  v1.2 label is replaced with a live NarcVersion string in the
  status bar, and the close/rescan/version button cluster moves
  inside the frame edge.

• Unify all player data behind NarcDB.guildCache (single source of truth)
  Eliminates the split between NarcData (in-memory, per-scan) and
  NarcDB.guildCache (persistent). Both the standalone UI and the RC voting
  frame integration now read from the same cache through the same API, so
  data visible in one is always visible in the other.
  New unified data API in NARC.lua:
  • NarcGetPlayer(name): single-player lookup with name-prefix fallback
  • NarcGetAllPlayers(): iterate every known player
  • NarcCacheUpdate(...): centralized write with timestamp-based conflict check
  • NarcGetScanRespondedCount(): in-memory counter for scan status UI
  • EnsureEntryShape(): backfills missing name/playerKey on legacy cache
    entries written before those fields were mandatory
    Scan lifecycle simplified:
  • StartScan no longer wipes player data; it clears an in-memory
    scanResponded set instead. Players who don't respond this scan keep
    their previously cached data.
  • FinalizeScan no longer injects noResponse placeholder rows. Staleness
    is conveyed via the timestamp on each cache entry.
  • BeginScanState helper extracted to remove duplication between StartScan
    and NarcTriggerGroupScan.
    NARC_Cache.lua cleanup:
  • Local CacheUpdate is now a thin alias for NarcCacheUpdate.
  • NarcCacheGet removed (superseded by NarcGetPlayer).
  • HandleCacheChunk and OnPlayerLogout now route through CacheUpdate.
    NARC_RC.lua:
  • GetNarcPlayer is a wrapper over NarcGetPlayer.
  • Staleness detection switched from a fromCache flag to a timestamp check
    (10-minute threshold), so cell dimming reflects actual age rather than
    storage layer provenance.
  • StartDataRetry treats stale entries as missing, pushing for fresh data
    during active loot sessions.
    NARC_UI.lua:
  • GetSortedRows iterates NarcGetAllPlayers instead of the old NarcData.
  • Status line counts members in cache and the current scan's responders.
  • noResponse rendering branch removed; paperdoll and crafted hover zones
    check for gear presence instead.
  • Sort and getVal callbacks hardened against missing crests/gear fields
    on legacy cache entries.
    Result: opening /narc now shows every guild member in the persistent
    cache, including players whose data was populated by passive broadcasts
    or login sync rather than the current scan. The RC voting frame sees
    the same data through the same code path.

• Add All History column, rename Slot History setting, tooltip polish
  New All History column:
  • Shows a book icon with the total count of items previously awarded to
    each candidate across all slots and difficulties
  • Hover tooltip groups by difficulty with a concise subtitle explaining
    the column's purpose
  • New NarcDB.colAllHistory setting (default on) with a Settings toggle
    Slot History setting renamed to "Show Slot History Column" with a
    description that accurately reflects slot-based scope.
    Slot History cell now shows a dimmed dash instead of a blank cell when
    a candidate has no prior awards in the slot, so it's clear there's no
    data rather than a rendering error.
    Tooltip headers and subtitles updated:
  • Gear header reads "Mythic Gear" at Mythic, "[Tier] Gear or Higher"
    otherwise. Piece count removed since it is already in the cell text.
  • Gear subtitle: "Items at this difficulty+. Weigh crest budget,
    unfinished upgrades, and other priorities." Suggestion-toned copy
    that acknowledges multiple decision factors.
  • Slot subtitle: "Awards in this slot across all difficulties.
    Sanity-check prior awards."
  • Subtitles shrunk to GameFontHighlightSmall for visual hierarchy.
    Codebase cleanup: all em dashes purged from source files, comments,
    strings, and tooltip copy. Replaced with colons or rewritten.
