Visual gate against retail surfaced several fidelity gaps in the selected-object
strip; all fixed and user-confirmed. Faithful to gmToolbarUI::HandleSelectionChanged
(acclient_2013_pseudo_c.txt:198635) + RecvNotice_UpdateObjectHealth (:196213).
- UiMeter.DrawHBar: guard each slice on `id != 0` BEFORE resolve. resolve(0)
returns the 1x1 magenta placeholder with a non-zero GL handle, so the single-
image meter (caps id=0) was drawing 1px magenta caps at the bar's ends. The
3-slice vitals meter (all ids set) was unaffected. (the magenta-lines bug)
- SelectedObjectController: meter visibility is now UpdateHealth-driven (shown when
health is known for the selected guid — HasHealth at select or HealthChanged),
not shown-on-select; brief green selection flash via Tick revert; overlay floated
above the meter so the flash isn't hidden by the bar; name top-aligned into the
bar sprite's black band (NameBandHeight) with the bar below.
- GameWindow.IsHealthBarTarget: gate the health bar on the server PWD bits
BF_ATTACKABLE (0x10) | BF_PLAYER (0x8) — friendly/vendor NPCs and attackable
Doors (Misc type) are name-only; players/monsters get the bar. Replaces the
too-loose IsLiveCreatureTarget. Wired SelectedObjectController.Tick in OnUpdate.
- CombatState.HasHealth(guid): distinguishes a known health value from the 1.0
default, so a re-selected already-assessed target shows its bar immediately.
- TextureCache.GetOrUploadRenderSurface: resolve the surface's DefaultPaletteId
so paletted (P8/INDEX16) UI sprites decode instead of falling to magenta.
- ToolbarController.HiddenIds: also hide 0x100001A3 (stack-entry box) — retail
hides it in HandleSelectionChanged; it was rendering as a stray black box.
Divergence register: AP-47 (meter-visible timing) retired (now faithful); AP-46
rewritten to the BF_ATTACKABLE/BF_PLAYER gate approximation. Full suite green
(2,688 passed / 4 skipped). User-confirmed: name on top, NPC name-only, monster
bar on assess, green flash, no magenta.
