ShadowlessBamCrit 26.07.14.1 – Retail Release

This stable Retail / Midnight release introduces the largest visual-effects update yet, together with many-to-many spell routing, safer expert tuning and full profile backup.

Visual Effects 2.0

• Completely redesigned, scrollable Damage and Healing effect editors
• Collapsible visual categories with Select All and Deselect All controls
• Expanded effect library covering Blood, Fire, Frost, Arcane, Lightning/Energy, Nature and Holy themes
• Separate Damage and Healing pools with Selected, Random and Cycle playback
• New Only via spell rules mode for fully assignment-driven visual playback
• Every effect can be previewed directly from the editor
• Promoted black-background source overlays now use tuned ADD rendering for stronger, cleaner results
• Obsolete and duplicate visual assets were removed

Many-to-many Spell Rules

• Drag spells from the spellbook or action bar directly onto an exact effect
• Drag spells onto a visual category to choose from the enabled effects in that category
• A single spell can be assigned to multiple effects and multiple categories
• The same visual effect can be shared by any number of spells
• Duplicate spell-to-target relations are prevented automatically
• When several targets match, one candidate is selected without stacking every overlay at once
• Existing one-to-one rules are migrated automatically to the new structure
• Unassigned spells can use the normal fallback profile or remain silent in rules-only mode
• Dedicated Spell Rules tab with localized spell names, icons and Spell IDs
• Clickable assignment counters and a separate management window
• Every individual spell-to-effect relationship can be removed independently

Expert Mode

• Guarded Expert Mode with a localized safety confirmation
• Per-effect render mode selection: BLEND, ADD or MOD
• Per-effect intensity multiplier and texture scale
• Reset individual effect tuning to its packaged defaults
• Advanced controls remain hidden for normal users until Expert Mode is explicitly enabled

Complete profile transfer

• New WoW-safe SBCPROFILE4 export format
• Exports the complete addon configuration, including:
  • General settings and context filters
  • Quick Toggle configuration
  • Sound categories, selected sounds and playback modes
  • Visual selections and timing
  • Many-to-many spell assignments
  • Per-effect expert tuning
  • Window and UI settings
• Import the profile on another account or computer without rebuilding everything manually
• Older SBCPROFILE2 and intact SBCPROFILE3 profiles remain supported
• Expert Mode is deliberately disabled after import and must be confirmed again

Sound, statistics and usability

• Dedicated Sound Effects editor for Damage Crit, Healing Crit, Parry, Dodge, Block, Miss, Resist and Absorb
• Selected, Random and Cycle sound playback with instant previews
• Repaired Crit History and expanded Damage/Healing statistics
• Clickable highest-crit records with target, action, timestamp, location and context
• Live minimap Quick Toggle status
• Improved window focus and layout handling
• Complete localization coverage for all supported clients

Release automation

• CurseForge project ID 1280118 is fixed in the publication workflow
• Repository secret CF_API_TOKEN is used directly from ShadowlessBamCrit
• Release and Beta publications are supported explicitly
• Each successful CurseForge upload returns and records a concrete file ID in CURSEFORGE_LAST_UPLOAD.md

Retail compatibility

• World of Warcraft Retail / Midnight interface 120000
• Protected best-effort crit detection that avoids inaccessible Retail combat-log values
• Duplicate-event protection and improved player-spell attribution

Modern Retail does not expose every combat-attribution detail to addons. Standard damage and healing crits work well in testing, while extremely dense AoE, delayed effects and some automatic attacks can remain inherently ambiguous.
