Modern WoW Renderer build 18

Full Changelog: build-17...build-18

Modern WoW Renderer build 17

F7 menu fix

• Fresh installs now include the verified location database in data/areas.txt.
• The exact verified Ascension executable is recognized automatically when ExeSHA256 is blank. Unknown builds remain locked and show the reason.
• F12 also reloads the location database.
• Failed setting writes restore the displayed value and show a Windows error.
• Added rotating MenuDiagnostics.log with menu/client/database/location diagnostics, viewport sizes and save/render failures.

Updating

Extract d3d9.dll and the data folder next to the game executable, then restart the game. Keep your existing GraphicsEffects.ini, LocationGraphics.ini and customized environment configuration. A fresh installation should extract the complete ZIP.

Reporting menu problems

Open F7, reproduce the issue, and send MenuDiagnostics.log from the game folder plus a screenshot. If the log rotated, include MenuDiagnostics.log.previous too. If no menu log exists, send ModernWoWRenderer.log.

Validation

Release and Debug Win32 builds passed. Local checks covered preset inheritance, invalid/unknown clients, failed save logging, actual-proxy location detection without camera constants, and the menu at 1080p/1440p/4K. Installed Ascension executable fingerprint and location getter/setter instructions match the previously live-verified build; no fresh in-world session was run for this release.
