L4RIO.h splits the abstract cockpit-control surface (RIOBase: enums, the five
analog Scalars, GetNextEvent/SetLamp, no-op serial ops, NEW IsOperational) out
of the serial RIO (RIO : PCSerialPacket, RIOBase -- byte-for-byte behavior kept,
ctor assigns as before); LBE4ControlsManager holds a RIOBase* and gains the
gated L4CONTROLS=PAD factory arm (BT_GLASS; OFF build logs+ignores the token).
NEW gated TUs: L4PADRIO (XInput+keyboard synthesize the surface; 3s hot-plug
re-probe; focus-guarded keys; per-poll AnalogEvent heartbeat; lampState[] +
static SetScreenButton/GetLampState for the panel) and L4PADBINDINGS
(content\bindings.txt profile, self-documenting default written on first run;
deflect/slew/set axis model; addresses validated against ButtonCount).
Verified live (glass build, L4CONTROLS=PAD): bindings written+parsed 44/10/5,
XInput pad detected, 121 streamed mappings install via stock PrimaryRIO path,
2157 frames clean. Pod build (gates OFF) compiles the split with zero
behavioral delta.

Clean, self-contained extraction of the BattleTech-specific work from the
reverse-engineering workspace -- engine + game + content + build, with nothing
from Red Planet or the raw archive dumps. Builds green (Win32) and runs the
single-player drive->animate->target->fire->damage->destroy loop out of the box.
Layout:
engine/ MUNGA + MUNGA_L4 shared 2007 engine, carrying our BT render/loader
work (bgfload/L4D3D/L4VIDEO: BSL bit-slice decode, LOD/ground/shadow
models) + image codec; the minimal rp/ headers the audio HAL needs
game/ reconstructed BT logic + surviving-original BT source + fwd shims
+ WinMain launcher
content/ full runtime tree (BTL4.RES, VIDEO/, GAUGE/, AUDIO/, eggs, BTDPL.INI)
docs/ format specs + reconstruction ledgers
reference/ raw Ghidra pseudocode (recon source-of-truth) + decomp exporter
tools/ MP console emulator + map/resource scanners
One top-level CMake builds munga_engine lib + bt410_l4 game lib + btl4.exe.
All paths relativized (186 fwd shims + ~437 CMake abs paths -> repo-relative);
DXSDK is the one external, overridable via -DDXSDK. Verified: builds to a
byte-identical 2.27MB exe and runs combat (TARGET DESTROYED, 0 crashes) against
the bundled content.
