KX-Vision is a powerful Guild Wars 2 addon that enhances your gameplay with real-time information overlays. Track players, enemies, and objects around you with customizable ESP displays. Inspect player gear at a glance, monitor combat performance, and never miss a resource node or vista again. Built using GW2's official MumbleLink API.

• Player ESP: Track nearby players with customizable filters (friendly, hostile, neutral), gear inspection (3 modes), profession/race/level display.
• NPC ESP: See all enemies and NPCs with rank filtering (legendary, champion, elite, veteran), health tracking, attitude colors.
• Object ESP: Find resource nodes, waypoints, vistas, crafting stations, and 15+ object types with smart filtering.
• Real-time Combat Info: Burst DPS tracking, animated damage numbers, health/energy bars with smooth transitions.
• Adaptive Visuals: Automatic distance-based scaling and fading for clean, uncluttered display.
• Flexible Customization: Per-entity visual controls (boxes, dots, health bars, distance), collapsible detail panels.
• Performance Tuning: Adjustable ESP update rate (30-360 FPS), zero performance impact even in WvW zergs.
• Settings Management: Save/load presets, auto-save on exit, reset to defaults.
• MumbleLink Integration: Utilizes GW2's officially supported MumbleLink API for player and game state data.
• Modern UI Design: Clean, organized ImGui interface with collapsible sections and intuitive controls.
• Update Resilient: Uses pattern scanning to locate game functions, maintaining compatibility across game updates.

• Zero FPS impact - even in crowded WvW/meta events
• Configurable update rate - tune 30-360 FPS in settings (default: 60)
• Optimized pipeline - two-stage architecture separates expensive calculations from rendering

• Works alongside popular GW2 addons (e.g., ArcDPS, GW2Radial) via GW2AL.
• Compatible with Raidcore Nexus via chainloading — see INSTALL.md for setup.

This isn't your typical game overlay. KX-Vision demonstrates production-grade patterns rarely seen in open-source game addons:

• Crash-proof memory safety - multi-layer validation (SafeForeignClass, SafeIterators, VirtualQuery caching)
• Thread-safe capture system - stable data extraction from game logic thread
• Two-stage rendering pipeline - throttled calculations + per-frame screen projection
• Adaptive far plane - intelligent scaling based on scene depth
• Combat tracking - burst DPS calculator with smooth animations
• Object pooling - zero heap allocations during rendering for consistent frame times
• In-game validation system - built-in Catch2 tests verify pattern scanning and memory offsets
• Modern ImGui 1.92+ - unlike most GW2 addons limited to 1.80
