From 8c612e4e18d078ecb8e2712aa5b48736dc99196f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joe DiPrima Date: Sun, 9 Aug 2026 12:04:02 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] #137 SOLVED (mechanism): not a respawn bug -- the myomer heat RATE under load is Controlled A/B on the same bench, only the load differs: 0.95 throttle + continuous missile autofire : 4 respawns, 17 frozen samples, T climbs 77 -> ~11,600 0.50 throttle, no weapons : 2 respawns, ZERO post-reset freezes; T stays ~77 So the respawn is exonerated on measurement, not on argument: * the reset works -- T == startingTemperature at every reset, both runs; * the stale Myomers::speedEffect (@0x31C, which no RTIS writes) is real but self-heals on the next tick (T=77.13 -> speedEffect=1); * with ordinary load the myomers never approach failT=2000 after a respawn. WHAT PLAYERS ARE ACTUALLY SEEING. Overheat while running hard -> myomers pass failT=2000 -> derating curve @004b8ac0 returns 0.0 -> chain MAX 0 -> speedDemand *= 0 -> bogged down -> die (often BECAUSE bogged down). Respawn correctly resets to 77. Resume high throttle + firing and it climbs back over the cliff within seconds, which reads as "respawned with the heat bar maxed". That is why it looks like a reset bug and why it is intermittent (~8% of respawns in the field): it tracks how hard you were driving, not the respawn. THE REMAINING DEFECT is the CLIMB RATE, not the reset. Blowing ~6x past a cliff the design treats as coolant-managed (degradeT=1000 governor onset, failT=2000) is not a lever a player can work with. Suspect under review: the kinetic term. The binary (@004b8d18) applies NO time_slice to it -- `fVar5 * fVar1` -- while the climb and accel terms both carry param_2, i.e. it is a per-frame energy add at the pod's fixed ~28 Hz. Our port rate-normalises it (`work * (time_slice * 28)`), which agrees per-second at any frame rate, so that is NOT yet a proven discrepancy -- it needs a term-by-term dump against the authored tuning (VelocityEfficiency 0.995, AccelerationEfficiency 0.8, thermalMass 2.5e5, myomers linked Condenser5 = Oracle's "loop 5").
