World of Warcards addon 1.0.10

Addon 1.0.10 bounds portrait preloading to four reusable model scenes per folio, replacing the growing pool of one scene per NPC. Every unique model is still requested, but a whole category no longer keeps a scene for every creature. Visible cards keep their 3D models and controls. This reduces resource pressure identified while investigating the DX12 allocation/recovery loop; in-game confirmation is still needed.

The collection index now has All, Owned and Unowned filters. They work with mob, set and category searches, remember your choice, and count collectible variants separately.

Unit tooltip lookup now tries additional readable data for the displayed mob. If the game protects its identity, the tooltip explains that the exact card status is unavailable and points to the index. Name matching is read-only and does not change drops or Ranked records. Actual restricted dungeon tooltips still need checking in Forever.

Existing cards, packs, progress and drop rules are preserved. Update through companion 1.0.1, then fully close and relaunch WoW so the old session's model frames are released. Changing zones does not load newly installed addon files. No companion reinstall is needed.

The intermittent fullscreen minimise/restore issue remains unresolved. This release is not a confirmed fix for it, and CurseForge publication remains on hold.

Validation: 239 Lua checks and 354 Node tests passed.

World of Warcards addon 1.0.9

Add guild announcements in Binder > Settings > Chat.

• Separate switches for card acquisitions and pack finds, both off until enabled.
• Choose All, Rare and above, Epic and Legendary, or Legendary only for guild card messages. Epic and Legendary is the default filter.
• Pack finds show the zone and pack rarity. Cards inside remain hidden until revealed.
• Group and solo announcements remain independent. Private clickable card messages stay on.
• Queued guild messages expire and are discarded if you leave or change guilds, disable their setting, or raise the rarity filter. Client-refused messages are not retried or sent somewhere else.
• Explicit binder requests and Ranked trading still have no addon faction restriction. Passive title queries remain limited to connected same-faction players; Forever still controls actual cross-faction message delivery.

Update the addon through companion 1.0.1 and use /reload in game. Binder progress is preserved; no companion reinstall is needed. The fullscreen display issue still needs in-game confirmation. CurseForge publication remains on hold.

Validation: 230 Lua checks and 354 Node tests passed.

World of Warcards addon 1.0.8

The first Casual card find now shows a clear warning once per binder. Casual collections cannot trade or gift cards or packs, take part in Ranked seasons, or qualify for the Ranked ladder. The warning still appears if ordinary card popups are disabled; it never resets or removes cards.

Trading and gifting are Ranked-only. Casual attempts explain how to download the companion and enable Ranked. Updated Ranked senders get a clear refusal when the recipient is in Casual, without moving items. New players cannot enable Ranked before matching companion setup is loaded. Existing Ranked collections are kept in Ranked when setup or roll supply is temporarily unavailable; affected features pause instead of switching to Casual.

Passive player-title checks now skip opposite-faction, disconnected and unknown-faction players. This avoids the addon whisper that could produce WoW's unsolicited “No player named … is currently playing” message. Deliberate binder/trade requests still show genuine errors.

Existing saves and historical trade provenance are preserved. Both players should update their addon. Companion 1.0.1 remains current. The fullscreen minimise/restore issue is still under investigation, and CurseForge publication remains on hold.

Install addon 1.0.8 through the companion, then reload the game UI.

World of Warcards addon 1.0.7

Card-unlock popups now follow the 3D card models setting. With models enabled, a find shows its model again. Turning 3D off keeps the 2D artwork/icon presentation.

Popups wait through loading screens, world changes and flight paths, then resume in order. Their models load only while visible and are released when the popup closes. Existing collections, drops and trading rules are unchanged.

The fullscreen minimise/restore issue remains under investigation. This update corrects the unconditional icon-only popups introduced as a precaution in 1.0.5; it is not a confirmed fix for the display loop. Include normal card finds in further stability testing. CurseForge publication remains on hold.

Install addon 1.0.7 through the companion, then reload the game UI. Companion 1.0.1 remains current.

World of Warcards addon 1.0.6

Card movement now follows the card's rarity and presentation:

• Common creatures, gathering cards and critter portraits stay still. Drag a loaded model to rotate it yourself.
• Owned epic and legendary still portraits sway gently on the large detail card. Right-click to pause or resume.
• Authored animated editions loop their action without also rocking the camera. Edwin VanCleef's legendary Signature loops the flex emote when supported, with a still combat fallback. Blades Drawn keeps its spinning attack.
• Missing cards and left-page previews stay still.

Inventory keys, saved progress, edition odds and drop rules are unchanged. Companion 1.0.1 remains current.

The intermittent fullscreen minimise/restore loop remains under investigation. This artwork update is not a confirmed fix. The repository includes a manual maintainer diagnostic for recording foreground/window-state changes; it is not included in player downloads. CurseForge publication is still on hold for in-game stability testing.

Update the addon through the companion, then reload the game UI. Please use companion 1.0.1 for the fullscreen tests too.

World of Warcards: addon 1.0.5 and companion 1.0.1

The update includes addon 1.0.5 and companion 1.0.1.

The companion now leaves its window alone when a background sync conflict needs attention. It uses a tray hint instead of restoring and focusing the window, removing a confirmed focus-stealing path that could interrupt fullscreen play.

The addon also reduces background 3D rendering:

• Pickup pop-ups show zone artwork and a binder seal without loading a 3D model.
• Closing a card window releases its models and its preloaded category models. Hidden cards cannot start model requests.
• Loading screens, world changes and flight paths suspend the addon's 3D models.
• Camera and animation changes run outside model-loaded callbacks. Pack cards still preload behind their covers while the pack window is visible.
• Settings includes a 3D card models switch for testing with zone artwork and binder seals throughout the addon.

The reported fullscreen minimise/restore loop still needs testing in game; its exact cause is not yet confirmed. Existing saved collections and collection rules are unchanged. Unsaved finds can still be lost if the game is force-closed before it writes SavedVariables.

Update the companion, then install addon 1.0.5 and reload the game UI. The installer has no Windows publisher certificate; download hashes are included and companion updates use the existing trusted release signature.

World of Warcards addon 1.0.4

Pack results stay behind opaque covers until their flip, including names, model effects and tooltips. Models and backgrounds still preload behind the cover; previous pack reveals cannot expose the next pack.

Addon model-loading/camera work and pack animation pause during loading screens and world transitions. This is a precaution: the intermittent whole-game minimise/restore/loading loop is not confirmed to be caused by Warcards. If it happens again, compare the same dungeon with only Warcards disabled, keeping saved files.

Install addon 1.0.4 through the companion, then use /reload. The companion remains on 1.0.0. Existing cards, packs and progress are preserved.

World of Warcards 1.0.0

World of Warcards 1.0.0 — addon, Windows companion and server.

Download and install · Help · Report a problem

Collect cards as you play World of Warcraft: Forever, fill your binder, open zone packs and trade with friends. This release includes collectible editions, shiny cards, achievements and titles, seasonal collections, and the smaller launch collection.

• Seasons: a shared card list alongside your normal Ranked binder. Fresh drops, pack pulls and verified trades fill its slots. Finish for titles and packs, with extra rewards for early finishers. No season is scheduled automatically.
• A smaller launch collection: held-back cards return through seasons and stay available afterwards. Existing owned copies, variants and history are kept.
• Drop balance: critters are more obtainable, ordinary drops are more generous, and selected rare cards remain worth hunting.
• Trading and gifts: right-click a player and choose Trade cards or packs. Invitations and final offers require acceptance. The Seasons tab replaces the old Trade tab.
• A finished release interface: the companion has no preview-build badge; production addon downloads exclude the developer gallery and playtest files.

For an existing Ranked binder, update the companion first, then the addon. Install over your current copies and keep all saved data. Updates do not require a new binder or a reset. The companion can install the addon update for you; close the game before replacing addon files.

The installer is not signed with a Windows publisher certificate. SHA-256 checksums are included, and companion updates are verified using the existing trusted release-signing key.

The optional CurseForge page-materials ZIP is for maintainers, not an addon installer. CurseForge submission is separate; Forever compatibility and the final in-game gallery still need confirmation.

Companion 0.4.5 — startup fix

Companion 0.4.5 — startup fix. Addon 0.6.4 is unchanged.

This fixes the missing-module crash in companion 0.4.4. If that version cannot open, close its error window and download this installer manually, then install over your existing copy. Keep the companion data folder and WoW's WTF folder; there is no need to reset your binder, sign out or replace the addon for this fix.

The recovery validator is now included in the compiled package. Release checks inspect the actual ASAR and start the real packaged Windows executable using a separate test profile and local test server. The previous 0.4.4 installer fails this check; the corrected installer passes it. Publishing is blocked on failure.

The usual setup and verified-recovery features remain. Your account identity, companion settings, addon saves and server collection are not migrated or cleared by this hotfix.

The Windows installer remains unsigned by a Windows publisher certificate. The release has published SHA-256 checksums and signed companion update metadata.

World of Warcards addon 1.0.3

Closes the trade window after a completed trade or gift and removes the offered cards and accepted borders. Opening the binder or choosing a trade card hides the trade window, so its layers cannot show through other pages. The index buttons now read Previous and Next.

Update addon 1.0.3 through the companion, then use /reload. Both players should update for the trade-window cleanup. The companion stays on 1.0.0, and binder progress is preserved.
