#95: REVERT the salvo-damage hack; deliver the cluster the way the binary does

#95/#84: missile salvos deliver their FULL authored damage, and stop double-exploding
THE SALVO DAMAGE (#95). Players measured an LRM 15 landing "3ish points". The logs agreed: [projectile] IMPACT damage=3.33333 (Oracle, LRM15) and 3.5 (Rajel, LRM10). Those are right PER MISSILE -- 50/15 and 35/10 -- and the bench shows why the salvo still under-delivers: each launcher pushes N rounds of which exactly ONE carries damage. Two individually-correct changes composed into an N-fold shortfall: * The ctor does what the binary's MissileLauncher ctor does (@0x3ac/@0x3d4): damageData.burstCount = missileCount; damageData.damageAmount /= missileCount; The record holds the PER-MISSILE amount plus the count; the arcade reconstitutes amount x burstCount when it applies the hit. * Task #62 then correctly stopped the port applying the hit once per visual round (that was ~missileCount-x too lethal) by damaging only the lead round -- but handed it the already-divided amount. Our DamageZone::TakeDamage is `damageLevel += amount * scale` and drops burstCount, so the salvo delivered amount/missileCount. Since the port collapses the cluster to one damaging round, multiply the count back in there. Bench: an SRM6 salvo now lands amt=35 (the authored total) taking a zone 0 -> 0.556, where it previously landed 5.83. THE DOUBLE EXPLOSION (#84). Oracle: "missile appear to register hit explosions twice, once where target was and again where the target is." There are two spawn sites: BTSpawnRoundDetonation at the round's own impact point, and the message manager's bundled explosion at the CONSOLIDATED point a frame later. The duplicate was known and thought harmless -- "among a rippled volley it is invisible" -- which held only while a salvo landed N detonations. A projectile now marks its weapon (MarkRoundDetonated) and the consolidation skips queueing a second blast for it; direct-fire weapons never mark, so lasers/AC keep the bundled explosion they rely on. Bench: 4 missile impacts -> 4 SKIPPED, while 11 direct-fire hits still queue normally. SWEPT CONTACT (#84 tail). Contact was a 10-unit sphere sampled only at the END of each step. With the authored thruster live (#84) field rounds arrive at v=955 -- a ~16 unit step at 60fps, larger than the radius -- so samples can straddle the target. (Pre-#84 rounds flew ~100-300 = a 1.7-5 unit step and could never skip it: the velocity fix exposed this, it did not cause it.) Now tests the whole segment travelled and bursts at the point of NEAREST APPROACH, which also stops the detonation being flung past the target at speed. RETRACTION: I posted tunnelling as the leading explanation for the lost salvo. The bench disproves it -- zero fizzles, and the "missing" rounds are the dmg=0 visual rounds of the cluster, which never registered damage by design. The sweep is kept as speed-independent robustness, not as the #95 fix. Bench: scratchpad/night8/salvo.sh (BT_PROJ_LOG + BT_FIRE_LOG).

#87: mech armour PANELS now darken with damage -- the .DZM material system was loaded and unused
Players: "the actual enemy mech in external view is not showing darkened armor panels". We swapped destroyed LIMB meshes but never darkened a panel. The 1995 game darkens armour through the MATERIALS. MakeMechRenderables (FUN_004cef28) built, per (damage zone, material), a watcher FUN_004573e4(material, &zone->damageLevel, 0.1f) that snapshotted the materials |

#86: destroyed weapons can no longer fire -- the fire gates read a
never-written cell (the split-cell gotcha) Both weapon fire gates (ProjectileWeapon gate 1 @4bbd36, Emitter hard-failure @4baab9) test the binary's subsystem+0x40 for Destroyed(1). In the 1995 layout that offset sits INSIDE the embedded status alarm (statusAlarm@0x2C + level@+0x14 = 0x40) -- ONE cell, written by ForceCriticalFailure when a zone's crit cascade kills the subsystem. The port models the same address as TWO members: the AlarmIndicator AND a plain int simulationState@0x40. Every destruction path writes the ALARM (so the MFD draws its X correctly) while the gates read the plain int, which nothing ever writes -- so a weapon on a blown-off arm showed destroyed on every panel and kept firing and scoring, locally and on peers (night-7: all three testers, screenshots of a missile leaving a destroyed pod). The tell had been sitting in our own logs for weeks: [ammo] SRM6_1 -> NoAmmo (gate1): destroyed=0 ... on a mech whose launcher was X'd out. Fix: both gates now read statusAlarm.GetLevel()==1 as well as the int. Also added: the crit-cascade log names the destroyed subsystem, a BT_SELF_DAMAGE_ZONE=dz_* named-zone bench mode, and BT_KILL_SUBSYS=<name> (force ForceCriticalFailure on one named subsystem -- the exact call the zone cascade makes, so a bench can ask 'the panel says dead, does it still shoot?' without hunting for the zone that carries a given weapon). Verified A/B in ONE run: before the kill both SRM6 launchers fired 2 salvos each; after, the destroyed launcher fired ZERO (gate log destroyed=1) while its twin kept firing normally. KB: new gotcha #22 (the SPLIT CELL -- one binary offset, two port members, only one written; sibling of #1) + combat-damage entry.

#84: missiles ACCELERATE like the binary -- the pool flew at constant
rack-eject speed; the authored MissileThruster was never applied The binary Missile hosts a MissileThruster subsystem: authored acceleration for BurnTime seconds after the MuzzleVelocity eject. Authored values decoded from BTL4.RES (type-15 missile model records, reached from the AmmoBin's ammoModelFile via the type-1 MODELLIST indirection): SRM 2.5s @ 600 u/s^2, LRM 10s @ 300 (climb 50), Streak 3s @ 300 (turn 360deg/s), NARC 10s @ 300; splash 30 all (port constant was already right); authored drag ~0.001 = negligible. The port pool flew every round at CONSTANT |MuzzleVelocity| -- SRMs 100 u/s, LRMs 30 u/s (10x slower than authored) -- the entirety of the night-7 "missiles are very slow" report, and the driver of the "explosion before the missiles arrive" perception (the salvo-lead detonates while the slow spread rounds straggle in). Fix: BTMissileThrustOf (mech4.cpp) lazily parses + caches the RES thruster table (ModelList ids aliased to their type-15 member's burn/accel); both launch paths (master FireWeapon + the replicant salvo mirror -- peers see the same speed) resolve through the launcher's bin and pass burn/accel into the pool; the advance integrates speed += accel*dt while burn remains, heading preserved. Ballistic rounds (autocannon/gauss) pass 0/0 -- unchanged. Impact log now prints v=/burnLeft= evidence. Verified live (solo, BT_SPAWN_ENEMY + BT_AF_MISSILE): thrust table 8 entries cached; Black Hawk Streak resolve burn=3 accel=300; impacts at v=277 u/s (was a constant 100). Fun authenticity note: the Black Hawk's "SRM6" fires strk (STREAK) ammo per its authored bin.

#93: fix the end-of-round PerformAndWatch crash -- the STATIC projectile
pool held dangling entity pointers across round teardown Root cause (disasm-pinned on the shipped 4.11.659 exe): RajelAran's crash (call to 0x65676769 = ASCII 'igge', EBP-walk return btl4+0x2b91a) is the tgt->Dispatch vtable call in BTUpdateProjectiles' NON-MECH impact branch (mech4.cpp:1598; the site matches the disasm literally -- the 0x12/0x64 TakeDamageMessage ctor, the EntityID::Null ternary, the getenv gate after). The trap: the mech branch is guarded by BTIsRegisteredMech(tgt) -- but at round teardown a destroyed mech is DEREGISTERED, so a round still in flight (the pool is a static array that outlives the round; missiles are slow, #84) holding it as p.target now FAILS the mech check and falls into the !BTIsRegisteredMech branch, which treats the freed mech as a cultural icon and dispatches into freed memory. The liveness check itself routed the dangling pointer into the unguarded branch. Freed heap reused by a string -> vtable slot +0x10 read 'igge' -> call 0x65676769. (The EBP walker explains the stack shape: the faulting call pushed its return address on ESP, but the walk reads [EBP+4] = PerformAndWatch's frame.) Fix -- scrub at the source of truth: - BTProjectilesDropEntity(e): every pool entry drops a dying entity from p.target/p.shooter; called from ~Mech and ~CulturalIcon (the only free paths for targetable entities). Flight + impact code is already null-guarded on both fields. - BTProjectilesClearAll(): kills all rounds at RunMissions exit (cross- mission hygiene for the static pool). Verified: 6 short-mission cycles (45s missions with a spawned dummy + autofire, mission expiring mid-combat) -- 0 exceptions, 6/6 clean 'RunMissions returned'. The original crash was a heap-reuse race with no deterministic repro; the scrub eliminates the dangling-pointer class by construction. (Bench note: blind autofire never launches missiles -- the launcher needs a target lock -- so the exact in-flight race was not re-created; the non-regression + the pinned mechanism carry the verdict.)

myomer system COMPLETE -- the 'WAVE 6 mover cutover' was a phantom built on
a misattribution; the authentic couplings are all live
THE CORRECTION [T1]: @004b9550/@004b95b8 ('ConnectToMover'/'Disconnect
FromMover') are MechWeapon::ConfigureMappables/ChooseButton -- their +0x31C
is the weapon TriggerState and **(mech+0x128) is the CONTROLS MAPPER's
button roster (the MECHWEAP.CPP assert string + the trigger-edge detector
@004b9608 sit adjacent in the image). The binary has NO dynamic myomer->
speed feed: AvailableOutput has exactly TWO callers in the whole image --
RegisterMaxOutput (assembly) and the SeekVoltageGraph sampler -- and
speedEffect@0x31C is a published GAUGE attribute.
The authentic myomer system (now fully live):
1. drive heat (#85, this morning);
2. VITAL death -- myomers are the only authored vital=1 subsystem
(BTL4.RES res+0x48 scan): destroying them kills the mech via the #80
vital-crit path (this is also the ram-death mechanism -- myomers are a
0.35-weight collision-rattle target);
3. the assembly-time gait cap: RegisterMaxOutput @004b8ef0 raises
mech+0x7A0 to AvailableOutput(top gear) = base x ~1.4284 -- now called
(idempotent max, per tick; the 0x358 layout lock leaves no latch room)
with real OwnerBaseSpeed/OwnerMaxSpeed bridges; the old per-frame
reverseSpeedMax2 heal that would have clobbered it is garbage-guarded;
4. the ENG-page power curve at correct absolute scale (real base speed);
5. electrical sourcing (low gears run on a browned-out generator).
REMOVED (inventions): the mechmppr `speedDemand *= speedEffect` demand
multiplier + BTMyomersDriveOf + the Myomers ConnectToMover/MoverAttach
family. Damaged-but-alive myomers heat faster and drop the power curve
but do NOT slow the mech (gitea #75's premise is falsified by the binary;
the real damage slowdown is the LEG-damage gimp gait). Seek gears change
heat/sourcing/graph -- never speed.
Verified live: a mech at myomer dmg=0.234 (speedEffect attr 0.766)
beelines at full commanded speed with dmgGain=1.234 heat; 0 faults.

#85: myomer drive heat LIVE -- the five Mech motion operands were return-0
shims, so the reconstructed integrator @004b8d18 accumulated zero forever
The integrator, its gates and the heat plumbing were all reconstructed and
running -- but OwnerVelocityMag/OwnerDriveMag/OwnerVelocityY/OwnerMotionGain/
OwnerMass were cross-family compile shims returning 0.0f, so the myomers
priced ratio^2 * damageGain * 0 every tick: ice cold at any seek (Oracle's
night-7 panel-confirmed report).
Operands re-grounded against the raw disasm + decomp and mapped to NAMED
members via a complete-Mech-TU bridge (BTMechMyomerMotionSample, mech4.cpp),
per the databinding rule:
+0x1C4 vec -> localVelocity.linearMotion
+0x82C vec -> localAcceleration.linearMotion (the authentic 15-ring
smoothed AccelerationLastFrame the port already maintains)
+0x20C -> moverMass (the collision divert's cell; the old "motion
gain" label was a misread)
*(+0x250) -> environment gravity (FUN_00421e2c: vy -= **(+0x250)/tick),
via GetEnvironment()->gravityConstant
So the heat physics reads: 0.005 * 1/2 m v^2 (kinetic work, per-tick/no-dt
in the binary -- kept verbatim, frame-rate note documented) + 0.2 * m g
|vy| dt (climb power) + 0.2 * m |v||a| dt (acceleration power), all scaled
by ratio^2 and (1 + zone damage). Restored the binary's fabs(v.y) (the
draft had signed vy -- descending would have COOLED).
Authored tuning extracted from BTL4.RES (18 mech records, one shared
tuning): VelocityEfficiency=0.995, AccelerationEfficiency=0.8, gears
0.3/0.5/0.7/0.9999 rec idx 2; myomer thermal profile 77/1000/2000,
conductance 1.9e5, thermalMass 2.5e5.
Live-verified (solo arena, BT_MYO_LOG + BT_HEAT_LOG): standstill generates
~0; hard circling drove Myomers T 77 -> 1225 (past the 1000 degradation
line) and the coolant loop conducted it back to ~520 equilibrium on
slowing; damageGain live at 1.048 from grind rattle.
Known-inert remainder (filed in open-questions): the climb term reads g=0
because Mover::localEnvironment is never populated in the port
(EnvironmentZone res type 23 unwired); the mover feed (speedEffect ->
locomotion) stays WAVE 6.

collision-pricing audit: restore the binary's crash economy -- two fixes
A. KNOCKDOWN PACING: the 0.4s gBlockCooldown contact-hysteresis is gone. It suppressed the crash knockdown for as long as contact was held, letting the kinematic drive re-slam the obstacle at full commanded speed EVERY FRAME -- continuous full-price crash self-damage, a healthy 65-tonner dead in ~2-3s of grinding (the night-7 SAURON ram death, 110 priced frames at |v|~34.7). The binary needs no guard (crash threshold @0x4ab178 read from the exe = 0.0, dispatch per blocked frame is authentic): the bmp clip zeroes the drive, and a pressed mech re-triggers the knockdown at v>6.3 long BEFORE its grind can price anything -- the type-0 divert's 0.5-pt free floor needs v>~18.5 at 65t. Wall grinding is free taps + paced staggers; only genuine fast arrivals pay. B. RAW RAM DISPATCH: the *0.001 "ram economy normalization" (2026-07-12) predated the #83 type-0 divert and became a double-normalization -- the victim's divert scale (~4e-5) compounded with it, so NO physically possible ram could clear the 0.5-pt free floor: rams were a no-op against the victim while the rammer's own un-scaled crash path rattled for real. The binary dispatches raw [T1 @part_012:15324]; the divert IS the normalizer. Also un-starves cultural-icon crunches (trucks now crush on contact per their authored armor, not after ~19 bumps). Bench (scratchpad/night7/mp_rampricing.sh): - wall leg: 150s full-throttle wall push = 125 paced knockdown binds (~1.2s cadence, iv2 40-43), 4767 crash frames ALL under the free floor, 0 rattle, 0 deaths (pre-fix: dead in seconds). - ram leg: BT_GOTO=enemy + BT_GOTO_STOP=2 rams the peer; raw amount arrives byte-identical on the victim (66239.1 tx == rx), victim prices 2.55 pts internal rattle (first ram damage to a victim in the port's history), pressed follow-ups free, 0 deaths both nodes, 108 knockdowns -> exactly 108 type-5 records on the observer (no skating regression). KB swept: combat-damage.md (the 1.3e6 moverMass mis-attribution corrected to the measured 60-90k tonnage scale), locomotion.md, rendering.md.

#94: replicant un-wreck now rides the DEATH-STATE EXIT edge -- the zone
falling-edge latch was blind to zone-less (collision) deaths The peer wreck lifecycle listened to two different signals: wreck ON came from the replicated death explosion (unconditional), wreck OFF from a damage-zone falling edge (wasWrecked latch, armed only when a zone crossed >= 1.0 on the observer). The #83 collision damage prices as internal rattle and never moves a zone, so a fresh mech killed by ramming could NEVER un-wreck on peers -- the live respawned mech drove around wearing the hulk (night-7 field report: SAURON's Loki, screenshotted by both observers at the exact minute the log analysis places the ram death). MechDeathHandler::Tick now tracks prevMode and fires the rebuild + warp when the replicated MovementMode leaves the death modes {2,9} -- only Mech::Reset ever does that, and the state rides every record header, so the trigger is cause-agnostic. The zone falling edge just refreshes the cache. Side effect fixed for free: the peer respawn warp vortex now plays for zone-less deaths too (same gate). Bench (scratchpad/night7/mp_zoneless.sh + the new BT_SELF_DAMAGE_TYPE=collision harness option, which dispatches type-0 through the real TakeDamage divert): 14/14 zone-less deaths un-wrecked (mode 9->1) with zero zone rises on the observer; explosive regression leg 12/12 with zone destruction active.

#82 FINAL LAYER: the peer body-channel trn-lock -- a circling limper skated because the peer's turn-arm had no walk-demand yield and the trn speed exit read a dead replicant mapper cell
The master limped clean (218x gimp-cycle records, zero trn) -- a _ReturnAddress trap on SetAnimationState(4) proved ALL peer trn arming came from the port's own mech4 turn-step block, not the type-3 reader. Two dead ends, one root: - mech4 peer arm: gated on !wantsWalk (standSpeed < bodyTargetSpeed), exits trn when walking demand appears -- the leg twin's authentic precedence (part_012.c:12013, the Standing speed test outranks the turn test). - mech2 body case 4: bspd reads bodyTargetSpeed on ReplicantInstance; the local mapper's speedDemand is a dead cell on a peer (reads 0 forever -> no exit). Verified 2-node timeline: arena circle replicant 218x state-24 / 0x state-4 (was 116x trn churn), grass circle 235-clean, knockdowns bounded, 0 deaths. Diagnostics kept: BT_TRNTRAP ra-trap, BT_ANIMIND_CAP, [gimpfeed], [replgimp] extension. KB: locomotion.md trn-lock entry + the dead-mapper-cell lesson.

The crash self-damage reconstruction (

Joe DiPrimaandClaude Fable 5

9c83a468db |
#82 ROOT FIX: reconstruct the crash SELF-DAMAGE -- wall-grinding now hurts,
the knockdown storm self-limits, peers keep the limp
The 'peers see a limping mech skating' report decomposed into a wall-grind
KNOCKDOWN STORM: a gimped mech held against a blocking solid re-crashes each
time its gg cycle rebuilds speed (the gg ceiling is authentically the clip's
natural speed -- bhk1 ~14.9 u/s, ceiling+divisor @0x544/0x548, loader formula
byte-matched -- so iv2 ~222 >> the 40.0 threshold @0x4ab184), and every
type-5 KNOCKDOWN broadcast floors all peers' replicants into knockdown/trn
churn: gliding + leg-lifts = skating. Turning and crushable cars were
A/B-exonerated (grass circling: 198 replicant gimp entries, 17 crunches,
zero broadcasts).
What the binary has that the port lacked -- recovered from the EXPORT GAP by
raw disasm (scratchpad/night6/gap_4a9770.txt, @4aa89f-4aaab4) -- is the crash
branch's tail: fallDirection = worldToLocal(damageForce) (FUN_0040879c, M^T v,
un-normalized), fallScalar = -(fallDirection . localVelocity.linearMotion),
and a self-dispatched TakeDamageMessage{0x64, zone=-1, the engine-computed
collision Damage verbatim}. A wall crash COSTS ARMOR, so the grind degrades
the mech instead of looping forever. That dispatch was the long-standing
'DEFERRED' note in the response policy; now reconstructed.
Falsified en route (comments + KB corrected, do not revive): the stagger's
FUN_004a4c54(1)/(0x20) 'action-request flags' feed NO drive suppressor --
image-wide sweep + full gap disasm show word[this+0x18] is read only by the
net record emitter; the bmp clip applies NO root motion (adv=0 measured); the
'gimp cap 5.8' figure was the BACK-cycle stride printed under a misleading
label (now ggCapL/R; @0x52c has no binary consumer).
Verified (mp_gimpAB rigs): arena1 wall-grind now 4 bounded strikes, limper
dies of its crashes and respawns cleanly twice (START->RESET, no strand);
grass circling unchanged-clean (198 replicant gimp states, 0 knocks).
Rig: pid capture race fixed (a missed winpid left a stale node holding the
-net port -> null runs), per-config sweep added.

bench: symbolic leg-zone targeting, gimp-follow/goto-release, legal egg colors
- BT_SELF_DAMAGE_ZONE=leg resolves the mech's actual leg zone via the streamed LegDamageZone flags (new Mech__DamageZone::IsLegZone) -- numeric zone ids are per-mech-type and a wrong one aims at a vital (killed the limp bench's mech instead of gimping it: 2 ticks, death cycle, respawn healed, harness spent -- 3 minutes of healthy circling). - BT_GOTO=gimp: beeline mode that prefers the nearest LIMPING peer (gimp half-states 3/4 ride the one-cell in every update record); stands and waits while nobody limps. BT_GOTO_RELEASE=1 hands the mech back to the keyboard once the beeline arrives. - MP.EGG/MP4.EGG/MP4L.EGG: color=Red and color=Blue are PATCH values, not colors (RES vehicletable colors: Black/Brown/Crimson/Green/Grey/Tan/ White) -- the two pilots carrying them rendered as untextured pastel mechs. Boreas Red->Crimson, Caicias Blue->Grey. MP4L.EGG = the 4-pilot bench egg on the open grass map. 4-node limp verification (user-eyeballed, all instances): the gimped mech step-drags with the authentic limp on every observer -- no skating (#82 holds in the 4-node overlap case).

#45 ROOT CAUSE + FIX: the gauge executive starves in MP -- panels froze at healthy fps
Instruments repaint via the background task pump, which authentically runs
ONLY in the frame's leftover time with a floor of ONE pump per frame; the
gauge renderer is 1 of ~7 round-robin tasks and each turn advances ONE gauge
of ~140 active, with the rate mask advancing once per full sweep. On a busy
MP mission the foreground eats the whole frame budget, the floor becomes the
norm, and the whole instrument stack rotates once in MINUTES at perfect fps:
comms-panel K/D stuck at 0, recharge tickers frozen, while the tallies and
their replication underneath were exactly right. Measured: 4-node bench at
70-90 fps gave the PilotList ~2 Execute turns in six minutes.
Fix, both env-tunable, authentic behavior restorable:
BT_BG_MIN (APPMGR.cpp, default 32, 0=authentic) minimum background
pumps per frame regardless of slack;
BT_GAUGE_BATCH (GAUGREND.cpp, default 32, 1=authentic) gauges advanced per
gauge-renderer turn (a visit is only a rate-mask check
unless the gauge is due).
Verified 4-node self-damage bench: sweeps 0.006/s -> 18-20/s, PilotList ~10
Exec/s, ALL FOUR panels tracked every death live (0->11) within ~1s, bg cost
2-4 ms/frame, respawn ledger clean (40 cycles, 0 swallow / 0 mismatch).
Also: BT_PERF now reports gaugeTurns/sweeps/active alongside bgTasks;
BT_AF_PERIOD now throttles the missile autofire group too (unthrottled spam
trips the documented FailureHeat all-weapons brick, which froze run 1 of the
cross-fire bench).

#81 GHOST MECH FIXED: release the death latch + stop the duplicate VehicleDead
Two defects that were masking each other, both now fixed and benched.
1) THE LATCH NEVER RELEASED ON FAILURE. The binary's FUN_004c012c tail is
Post(...) ; *(this+0x290)=0 ; *(this+0x258)=0 (part_013.c:10519-10523).
We had the Post and the suppressConsole and were missing the middle
instruction, so deathPending cleared only on SUCCESS paths. One failed
respawn latched the pilot for the whole mission: every later death hit the
dedup and was SWALLOWED, so the cycle could never restart -- a transient
hiccup became a PERMANENT ghost (dead, un-Reset, still driveable, a burning
wreck on every peer that sinks after ~18s and can never be drawn again).
Binary evidence: +0x290 is written in exactly THREE places in all of
BTL4OPT.EXE (0x0b75fb, 0x0bffe3, 0x0c0a05) and all three store a ZEROED
register; there is no write of 1 -- or any non-zero, in any instruction form
-- anywhere. The dedup gate itself IS authentic (@004c05c4 does
mov edx,[ebx+0x290]; test edx,edx; jne ret), so it is kept.
2) VehicleDeadMessage WAS DISPATCHED TWICE PER DEATH. BTPostKillScore
(btplayer.cpp:2263) sent a second one "to credit a death", but that message
is the RESPAWN-CYCLE TRIGGER, not a scoreboard increment, and the tally is
already credited by the handler's ++deathTally (:538). Both fire inside the
same death transition (BTPostKillScore at mech4.cpp:2006, the hardened
authentic notify at :2110), so they were always paired. Removed; the kill
credit above it is untouched (it correctly uses a ScoreMessage).
THEY HID EACH OTHER: the duplicate made the latch look necessary, and the latch
made the duplicate invisible. Every "death ... SWALLOWED" warning in the field
logs was just the latch deduping our own duplicate -- 8 of 8 deaths, a 100% base
rate, which is exactly why it correlated with nothing when tested. Fixing
either alone makes things visibly worse (the first bench of fix 1 alone produced
a DOUBLE cycle: deathCount double-incremented, cycle 1's re-post gone stale and
tripping the drop-zone MISMATCH). That is why earlier passes at #57/#55 kept
adding clear-sites instead of finding the root; the binary broke the tie.
VERIFIED
solo: 17 consecutive death/respawn cycles, every one START->RESET,
0 swallowed / 0 mismatch / 0 crash. Pre-fix this strands permanently
after cycle 1.
MP : two nodes over a real network path with cross-machine drop-zone replies
(each node's request is answered by the OTHER machine) -- A 11 cycles,
B 12, 0 swallowed / 0 mismatch / 0 discarded / 0 crash.
harness: BT_SELF_DAMAGE_REPEAT=1 re-arms the self-damage bench after respawn
so multiple cycles can be driven (a one-death harness can never
exercise this fix). scratchpad/night6/mp_ghost.sh.

#82 peers see a limping mech SKATING: the mech erased its own gimp cell every frame
The binary's one mech+0x40 IS Simulation::simulationState, which rides EVERY
update record header -- so in 1995 a peer's replicant learned the gimp level on
every packet and its gait limped with no gimp-specific replication anywhere.
The port's Mech::PerformAndWatch wrote SetMovementMode(1) every frame ("ground,
non-death, non-airborne"), which erased the level once it was mirrored in for
the warning voice (#78): the wire carried 1, bystanders walked while sliding at
limp speed, and the voice sequence restarted on every damage event (1->4 edge
per tick) instead of announcing once.
- mech4: that per-frame write now writes the AUTHORITATIVE level
(gimped ? 3/4 : 1) via a new alarm-only bridge BTMechGimpAlarmLevel -- which
deliberately never consults the cell it feeds, so a respawn-cleared alarm
cannot re-latch stale gimp out of it.
- BTMechGimpLevel: falls back to the replicated cell, with ONE-CELL precedence
(a fall/death/limbo state wins, so the normal drivers and their death latch
run -- what the binary's single cell enforced structurally).
- Reverted the #78 record guard: on a replicant the master's records are
authoritative, so pinning 3/4 against them would keep a peer limping through
a respawn. Fixed at the writer instead.
- [simstomp] trap now scoped to the watched mech with a module-relative return
address (symcrash-able) -- that is what named the writer.
- Also learned + recorded: zone damage levels replicate only when the EXPLOSION
TABLE's tier is crossed (peer measured at 0.428 vs master 0.857), so peer-side
damage state must never be inferred from them.
Verified two-node (scratchpad/night6/mp_skate.sh): the observer's replicant gets
sim=4 and its gait runs 23 -> 25 (wgr entry -> ggl limp cycle). Field clue that
cracked it: "after respawning a peer DID see the limp" (epilectrik/SAURON).
KB: locomotion.md + gotcha #25.

demo/bench harness polish: BT_SELF_DAMAGE_DELAY + two harness bug fixes + the OBS limp demo bat
- BT_SELF_DAMAGE_DELAY=<s>: hold the harness off for n seconds (capture demos: healthy walking first). Fixed its underflow bug (the countdown crossed below zero, which is also the "read the env" sentinel -- the delay re-armed forever). - The one-death latch was fed by EVERY mech's update: a mission that generated any destroyed mech entity tripped it at frame one and the harness silently never fired (random per mission roll). Now viewpoint-mech only. - run\limpdemo.cmd: the OBS capture demo -- 30 s healthy auto-walk, then the leg crosses half on the final damage tick: klaxon-klaxon-"reverse disabled" + the limp, then unlimited limp footage (waypoint 8000,8000).

the visible limp (#78): there was never a jump-jet clip set -- the 'Airborne' drivers ARE the gimp gait machines
The port had FUN_004a5bf8/71f4 fully reconstructed as AdvanceBody/Leg-
AnimationAirborne, gated on (MovementMode()==3||4) && jumpCapable@0x580 and
believed dead ("the test mech never jumps"). The binary says otherwise:
mech+0x40 in that gate is the graphicAlarm LEVEL (3=left-leg gimp, 4=right)
and +0x580 is hasGimpClips, set by the conditional loader block that probes
'wgl' and fills clip slots 22-27 (wgl/wgr/ggr/ggl/gsl/gsr) plus the four
measurements at 0x53c-0x548 (wg entry strides = speed caps, gg cycle strides).
Renamed the five jump* members + both drivers accordingly.
New: GimpBodyClipFinished @004a6344 / GimpLegClipFinished @004a7970 -- the
gimp transition machines, branched from the normal finished-callbacks. Phase-
correct limp entry (left-gimp enters 0x16/wgl only from a RIGHT step, right-
gimp 0x17/wgr from a LEFT step), gg cycles at gimp cadence, gs exits, and the
demand clamp to the gimped side's speed cap (leg cb writes it back into the
mapper -- the binary's authentic slowdown; the T3 x0.5 stand-in in mechmppr is
retired, BT_GIMP_SPEED now defaults 1.0). The binary's gimp machines have no
reverse entry -- the "reverse disabled" behavior is now binary-proven.
Reviving the dead drivers replayed two port-glue bugs (gotcha #24): the raw
*(controlSource) mapper read (null -> crash at first engagement) and the
missing alarm->member state re-sync (machine pinned in one run state). Both
fixed; bench harness gained BT_SELF_DAMAGE_TICKS=<n> to hold a zone past
LegHalfStructure without destroying it.
Bench-verified (madcat, novice, zone 16): crossing -> alarm 4 -> wgr entry
from a left step -> 8k+ frames stable in the ggl limp cycle at cadence 14.77
(vs 18.5 walk / 22+ run) with raw demand still 50. [T2]

myomer damage reaches the wheels, legs gimp at half structure, reverse refuses -- and an ODR trap unmasked (#75/#78)
The speed-demand site (MechControlsMapper::InterpretControls) now applies the
drive scale the mover's feed roster applied in 1995: speedDemand multiplies by
the myomers' live speedEffect (gear ratio, thermal curve, 1 - zone damage, via
the BTMyomersDriveOf bridge) and, while GIMPED, by 0.5 [T3: VGL Lynx's
"roughly 50%", BT_GIMP_SPEED overrides]. The gimp states were already being
raised -- mechdmg sets graphicAlarm 3 (left) / 4 (right) when a LegDamageZone-
flagged zone crosses half structure -- but nothing downstream ever saw them.
While gimped, reverse input is refused ("reverse disabled"), matching the
old-timers' account; the pod's audio cue rides the alarm's watchers.
Bench, one trajectory, arithmetically exact: a deterministic right-leg ramp
(the new BT_SELF_DAMAGE_ZONE harness) crosses 0.5 and the demand goes
44.837 -> 6.726 = 44.837 x 0.5 (gimp) x 0.3 (a crit-chewed myomers from the
same ramp -- the #80 crits composing with #75's scale, unprompted).
The reason "nothing downstream ever saw them" is the real find of the night,
now gotcha #23: AlarmIndicator is typedef'd to DIFFERENT TYPES per header
family -- mech.hpp says ReconAlarm (4 bytes), heat.hpp says GaugeAlarm (0x54)
-- so Mech::graphicAlarm and EVERY member after it sit at different offsets
depending on a TU's include order. mechdmg wrote level 4 and read it back;
mechmppr read 0 from the same object, same expression. No compiler error can
catch it: each TU only ever sees one definition. Until the split is audited,
cross-TU reads of the gimp level go through BTMechGimpLevel (compiled in
mechdmg's TU) -- and the same split-brain explains why the port carries the
binary's ONE movementMode cell as two live members (engine simulationState vs
graphicAlarm level) that never meet.
Also landed en route: the Myomers un-powered self-repair observed healing in
the field logs at exactly 0.011 x the authored Explosive scale per tick --
the 2026-07-29 reversal confirmed live; and Mech message 0x15 "RealMaxSpeed"
raw-decoded (@0x49f604: sets mech+0x7a0 from the message unless the +0x7a4
latch holds -- a console-tunable top speed).
Open on #78, documented in locomotion.md: the Gimp animation clips (authored
keys in the binary's model-record parser; mech2's state enum vs mech3's
reverse-fix disagree about slots 0x12-0x17 -- reconcile before wiring) and
the audio-cue binding.
Diags: BT_SELF_DAMAGE_ZONE, BT_DRIVE_LOG, BT_GIMP_SPEED.

aimed fire strikes the part under the crosshair: the per-segment pick (#73)
The port's target pick was a whole-mech bounding-box slab test, and every hit -- aimed or not -- dispatched zone -1 into the victim's cylinder lottery. The recovered 1995 model (the division-card scene intersection) struck a SEGMENT and credited that segment's own damage zone. This is the port's equivalent. At render-tree build, each segment's draw object and its PrimaryDamageZone -- authored per segment in the skeleton stream, read by JMOVER.cpp:290 -- are recorded in MechRenderTree::segPick. The pick (BTL4VideoRenderer:: MechSegmentPick) ray-tests the per-segment bounding spheres on the live posed skeleton, using the draw-cached mLocalToWorld (at most one frame stale, fine for aiming). Selection is SPECIFICITY-FIRST: among the spheres the ray pierces, the smallest radius wins, normalized-distance tie-break. Both obvious rules were measured failing the same way before this one: the torso mesh's sphere (r~4.1 on the MadCat, vs shoulders at r~1.0) envelops nearly the whole mech, so its front face is nearest for any aim AND any near-body ray normalizes to ~0 against it. Limb spheres nest inside the envelope; smallest-pierced picks the most specific part on the aim line, and the torso wins only when no limb is threaded -- the per-part semantic the pod's mesh test produced. mech4.cpp tries the segment pick per candidate; the box PickRayHit survives only as the fallback (no tree yet, wrecked, spectator), still carrying zone -1 into the lottery, and a structure occlusion clears the zone. The winner's zone rides MECH_TARGET_SUBIDX + targetReticle.targetDamageZone into SendDamageMessage, so aimed hits now dispatch a real zone; the victim's handler applies it directly (bursts 2+ still re-lottery, authentic per the recovered @0x4a0230 loop). Bench, the same L/C/R sweep that exposed the bug: aiming left now lands 36/41 hits on zone 2 = jointlshoulder -- the left arm -- with a 0.30 thread score, where the same aim was a 6-way lottery spray before. The MadCat's authored segment->zone map is rich (shoulders 2/9, guns 6/17, hip 1, six leg zones, torso 0). Known approximations, flagged for field verification: sphere bounds rather than triangles, and a torso-envelope graze credits the torso where the pod's exact mesh test would have missed into air. The field protocol is the one the testers already ran on night 6: stationary mechs, short range, fire only at one arm -- the paper doll should now damage THAT arm.

BT_SELF_DAMAGE: kill your own pilot in solo, so the RESPAWN family is bench-testable at last
Nothing could kill the LOCAL pilot on a bench. BT_MP_FORCE_DMG only targets REPLICANTS (mech4.cpp:4884 skips anything else), a solo dummy never shoots back, and every other damage path needs a second live pod. So the entire respawn family -- #70 torso twist after respawn, #22 ammo/weapons not resetting, #55 coolant/heat/generator restore, #57 the respawn latch -- could only ever be tested by asking a playtester to die. That is why they are all still open or awaiting-verification. BT_SELF_DAMAGE=<amount/sec> dispatches an unaimed TakeDamage at our OWN mech through the same virtual Entity::Dispatch a real beam hit uses, so the cylinder hit-location lookup, the zone cascade, the vital-subsystem kill and the whole authentic death -> 5s -> DropZone -> Mech::Reset cycle all run for real. No state is poked. =60 kills a fresh MadCat in about a minute. It LATCHES OFF at the first death. That matters more than it sounds: live damage knocks the power bus down, which is exactly the signal a respawn test wants to read. The first run of this harness produced a torso electrical state flapping 4 <-> 1 and I nearly filed it as #70 -- it was the harness still shooting me. One death, then silence, then measure. FIRST RESULT -- #70 does NOT reproduce in solo, but something near it does. After the respawn the MadCat's torso recovers fully: rate back to 0.872665 (the authored 50 deg/s), elec=4 Ready. Twist is not broken by a respawn. However the post-respawn mission shows INTERMITTENT power dropouts that a pristine mission never shows: pristine control (no damage, no death): 48/48 samples elec=4, ZERO dips post-respawn (harness silent): 95/97 elec=4, 2 dips to elec=1 A dip zeroes effectiveTwistRate (torso.cpp:570), so a pilot mid-turn feels the twist cut out -- plausibly what "torso twist stops working after a respawn" actually is: not a permanent stop but a stutter. Both dips are transient and the tail of the run is steady, so it is not a stuck state. Cause not yet found; the watched subsystem's own electrical level (wElec) dips with it, while the generator holds a full 10000V against a 5000V brownout threshold -- so it is NOT the brownout path in PowerWatcher::UpdateWatch. Filed here as the next thread to pull, with the harness that makes it reproducible in one solo run. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

four ENG-page lamps were invisible, not missing: the ctors dropped their colour parameters
Playtest report: "generators don't seem to have an Auto setting" / "no auto mode is ever displayed", plus the operator's own memory that the BUS MODE button once stepped through three states. The state machine was NEVER wrong: @004b0abc has exactly two branches (<2 -> Auto(2); ==2 -> detach + Off(0)), Manual(1) is set only by the four SelectGenerator buttons, and the auto-hunt gates on ==2 -- all byte-verified, and the #62 re-attach fires live. Manual is a one-way door out of BUS MODE by design: a single cycle button cannot know WHICH generator manual should mean. Verified on-screen by the operator this session: A-D returns to manual, BUS MODE toggles auto/off thereafter. What was actually broken: the connect-mode lamp -- and three siblings -- never drew a pixel. OneOfSeveralStates (@004c5470) and OneOfSeveralInt (@004c5148) forward caller-supplied background/foreground colours in the binary; the recon dropped both parameters and hardcoded 0,0 into the base. A BitMap-strip lamp draws SetColor(bg) + DrawBitMapOpaque(fg,...), so 0/0 painted colour-0 on colour-0: invisible. Affected: btemode (connect mode, 1x3 -- THE report), btecmode (coolant on/off, 1x2), and both bteseek gear-step lamps (1x4). The cluster call sites pass 0xff/0, byte-verified (@004c866c disasm; part_014.c:1479-1481, :2146-2147). Same dropped-element family as issue #42's MoveToAbsolute. THE TRAP THAT WAS NOT LANDED, recorded so it stays unlanded: with the lamp first made visible, the frames appeared inverted against the levels (art reads AUTO/MANUAL/OFF top-down; levels run OFF/MANUAL/AUTO), and a row=(rows-1)-selected "fix" was proposed. An adversarial workflow proved it wrong: the gauge blit addresses SOURCE rows BOTTOM-UP (Video16BitBuffered::DrawBitMapOpaque, L4VB16.cpp:3846-3850 -- sTop = map_max_y - sTop, rows walked upward), the 1995 blit @0046bdfc performs the identical flip, and the vertical strips are AUTHORED bottom-up to match. Identity level->row therefore draws the pod-correct display; the inversion would have created the very bug it claimed to cure. Two of five investigators (and the first human pass) assumed top-down; the engine source overruled all three. Convention + warning now recorded in context/gauges-hud.md. btecmode doubles as the standing tripwire: a second vertical strip that must show ON when coolant is available -- if it ever reads inverted, the bottom-up verdict is falsified. Also corrected: @004c552c is OneOfSeveralStates' EXECUTE override (clamp >= 0, chain the base draw) -- the port had the body on BecameActive under a wrong label; vtable-diffed against OneOfSeveral (0x518b24 vs 0x518bf0). BecameActive is inherited. Behaviorally inert today (the state source never goes negative), byte-faithful now. README: the "KNOWN ISSUE -- automatic re-attach is not working yet" text is replaced with how power routing actually works (A-D = manual, BUS MODE = auto then off, two presses off / one back to auto). That text shipped in 600, which already contained the #62 fix -- players were being TOLD auto was broken while it worked, which is half of how a painted-out lamp became "no auto mode". Diagnostic kept: BT_GENSEL_TEST=<id> now drives any of the five power-routing message ids (4..8, default 7) and pulses four times, so the whole mode cycle is observable headlessly under BT_FIRE_LOG ([gensel] lines).

#55 steps 0/1/2/4: the 1995 DEATH pass restored, the arg gate made real, and 5 subsystems the respawn sweep never reached
THE HEADLINE: the port's death sweep was a total no-op, and fixing it required
fixing the arg gate in the same commit -- otherwise corpses refill their ammo.
STEP 2 -- the authentic dispatch shape:
* engine/MUNGA/SUBSYSTM.h: Subsystem::DeathShutdown gains the binary's
universal base body { DeathReset(c) } (@004ad10e). It was empty, and NO
port class overrode it, so everything the 1995 game does at death was
skipped entirely.
* mech4.cpp death sweep now passes 0, not 1 (the binary's @0049fe0c arg) --
the wreck shape: alarms/state settle, nothing refills.
* ARG PROPAGATION (mandatory once the sweep runs): AmmoBin::DeathReset is now
arg-gated exactly as @004bd26c -- refill only when arg != 0, ammoAlarm
unconditional. Ignoring the arg was harmless only while the sweep was
dead; with it restored, every corpse would have re-armed. Also forwarded
in PoweredSubsystem / HeatSink / Condenser / HeatableSubsystem / Generator
(each binary body forwards it -- verified addresses in the plan).
STEP 4 -- coverage for 5 classes that had an authentic slot-10 body but no
DeathReset, so the respawn sweep fell through to the empty base:
Torso (this is Gitea #70 -- "loosing torso twist function after a death"),
Gyroscope, Myomers, HUD, Seeker.
STEPS 0/1 -- observability + the David chain:
* Three unconditional matchlog rows: DEAD_NOTIFY (mech + resolved link),
PLAYER_LINK (player <-> vehicle), RESPAWN (mode/alive/zones/subsys/pos).
A respawn was previously INVISIBLE in the matchlog -- night 3's analysis
had to infer them from ammo arithmetic.
* Mech::PlayerLinkMessageHandler + the death dispatch site: when the engine's
one-shot registry lookup misses (no null check, no retry -> the whole
death/respawn cycle silently swallowed), recover the SAME object via the
reverse link the binary's own respawn branch walks (player+0x1FC ==
playerVehicle). Complete-type TU, no raw offsets.
* deathPending cleared in the first-spawn branch (a latch carried in would
permanently kill every later respawn -- the #57 class).
VERIFIED on the 2-pod rig (madcat vs thor, forced kills, 5 death/respawn cycles
per pod): build clean, ZERO new /FORCE unresolved externs from the 5 new
overrides; refill lines appear ONLY immediately before a Mech::Reset and NEVER
between a death and the next respawn (the corpse-refill regression this commit
had to pre-empt); all three probe rows present in both pods' matchlogs; every
DEAD_NOTIFY carried a non-null link.
DELIBERATELY DEFERRED (documented, not forgotten): the mechsub.cpp rename pair
(ResetToInitialState -> GenerateFault, ClearStatus -> the root reset @004ac22c),
deleting HeatableSubsystem::ResetToInitialState, and deleting RespawnRepair.
Those need the HeatableSubsystem vtable-slot-10 pre-flight the plan calls for,
and we have no binary image here to dump the vtable from -- guessing at it
risks the vptr-alias trap. Next session with the decomp shards open.

kill-storm repro rig for #35 (owens laser crash): parameterized damage hook + honest NEGATIVE
BT_MP_FORCE_DMG=<n> now sets the per-tick probe damage (plain =1 keeps the original amount) -- kill-storm rigs need lethal ticks. rig_killstorm.ps1: offset-port relay + owens shooter under BT_AUTOFIRE vs a respawning victim. Result: NEGATIVE, twice. The respawn cycle (death anim + warp + handshake) caps the harvest at 1-2 kill-teardown windows per 4-minute round, and none crashed. With July's 254-volley negative the conclusion firms up: the window needs the reporter's slow-machine timing, not more attempts here. The field net (crash self-report + join.old.log rotation + the sweep guards) means the next real occurrence names its own site. Refined theory recorded in the ledger: six-beam volley vs a target dying mid-volley, 515-class teardown race. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

volume keys: -/= -> PgUp/PgDn, ending the zoom double-fire (prep for the cockpit-refit merge)
The issue #26 volume poll watched VK_OEM_MINUS/VK_OEM_PLUS -- the same physical keys the authentic 1995 typed-character target-zoom hotkeys ('+'/'-') live on, so a single press zoomed AND stepped the volume (operator-reported annoyance). The incoming glass-cockpit-refit branch also binds -/= as Comm-bank buttons, which would have made it a TRIPLE dispatch on fresh installs. PgUp/PgDn produce no WM_CHAR at all, so they cannot collide with any typed hotkey in any install; they are unbound in every bindings layout including the refit's 74-key board; and they exist on tenkeyless keyboards. Numpad +/- were considered and rejected: their typed characters feed the same zoom channel that made -/= wrong. README/CONTROLS documentation follows in the merge-fixes commit (the whole controls table is being redone there for the new default board).

#45 review pass: correct three claims the fix's own comments got wrong
An adversarial review of the change returned NO BLOCKERS but caught three
statements that were wrong or unverifiable. All three are corrections to my own
comments/docs, not behaviour changes -- the verified binary is unchanged.
1. The phantom-kill note had the ORDERING backwards. It claimed the owner's
record "overwrites it on the next record -- the phantom stops being visible".
The engine's event priorities run the other way: an inbound update record is
posted at UpdateEventPriority == MaxEventPriority and drained by
ExecuteBackgroundTask, while the rerouted score message sits at
EntityManagerEventPriority == DefaultEventPriority and is popped later -- so
the correction usually lands FIRST and the phantom AFTER it. The artifact is
BOUNDED, not masked: on the killer's pod only, that victim's KILLS reads +1
until the next record, i.e. <= one 2s heartbeat instead of "until the victim
next scores or dies". Swept in btplayer.cpp, KD_SCOREBOARD_PLAN.md and
RECONCILE.md.
2. The corpus figures were not reproducible, and were mis-tiered. I cited
"125 of 125 SCORE type=2 over 255 node-logs" and "0 of 8800 DMG rows" -- true
when measured, but the corpus is append-only and this fix's OWN verification
runs grew it from ~255 to 425 files, so nobody can re-derive them. Replaced
everywhere with invariant RATIOS that hold at any corpus size, re-measured
here:
* 0 of 18818 DMG rows are inst=R (damage is applied master-side only)
* 439 of 439 DEATH inst=R rows read killer=0:0 killdmg=0.000, against
0 of 225 inst=M rows (sole lastInflictingID writer: mech.cpp:746)
Also re-tagged T1 -> T2: log-corpus field evidence is T2 per the CLAUDE.md
tier table. Lesson recorded in the banner: cite ratios, not counts, for a
corpus your own rigs append to.
3. The recordLength guard's justification was wrong (and the plan's risk 5 with
it). A short legacy record does NOT desync the stream -- both sides advance
by the WRITER's stamped recordLength and no reader asserts a length. The real
hazard is a read PAST THE ALLOCATION: an inbound update message lives in a
per-event heap block sized from messageLength, so on a TRAILING legacy record
the two new fields would be read off the end of it.
Plus: the record struct's own field comment still said "deathCount -- the DEATHS
column", the exact wrong-field belief #45 removed, sitting on the wire struct.
Filed the review's other finding on #60: a SECOND decomp export gap, index
jumping FUN_0049fe80 (ends 0x49ffc8) -> FUN_004a1232, 4714 unexported bytes
containing Mech::TakeDamageMessageHandler @0x4a0230 -- the producer of every
score and death message in the game. Verified independently against
functions_index.tsv before posting.

pod's physical lamps AND the glass panels (PadRIO IS rioPointer there).
FOUR load-bearing defects found and fixed en route -- each independently fatal
to the feature:
1. HeatableSubsystem's Derivation chained Subsystem directly, SKIPPING
MechSubsystem (written before the WAVE-1 re-basing) -- so EVERY subsystem
on both family branches failed IsDerivedFrom(MechSubsystem), which is
exactly MechTech's monitor filter: the status scan watched NOTHING.
2. MechSubsystem::GetStatusFlags was non-virtual (binary: vtable slot 12) --
the scan's MechSubsystem* call bound statically to the base tier and the
weapon bits could never surface.
3. ProjectileWeapon::GetStatusFlags sat in a Ghidra export gap -- raw-disasm
@004bbf88: base | 0x20 (weaponAlarm==5 Jammed) | 0x10 (linked bin
cookOffArmed@0x18C AmmoBurning). The port had "defer to base".
4. Mech::Reset's respawn sweep blanket-cast every roster entry to
MechSubsystem and called RespawnRepair -- wrong for the Subsystem-level
entries (MechTech 0xBDC, SubsystemMessageManager 0xBD3). On MechTech the
recon damageZone slot lands on its subsystemMonitors chain head: NULL
while the scan was broken (fix #1's bug MASKED this one), but the moment
the monitors populated, RespawnRepair virtual-called through a
SubsystemMonitor as if it were a DamageZone -> load-time crash in
StateIndicator::SetState (caught with cdb; call [edx+14h] on code bytes).
The sweep now filters IsDerivedFrom(MechSubsystem) before the cast.
Also: GUID identities pinned -- 0x50f4bc = PoweredSubsystem::ClassDerivations
(via @004b1208 = its TestInstance; btl4gau2's two "Generator" comments were
wrong, swept), 0x50fb60 = Generator's. A shadow-field instance documented for
the deferred de-shadow: MechSubsystem::damageZone re-declares the PUBLIC engine
Subsystem::damageZone (SUBSYSTM.h:159) -- mechtech's naive `sub->damageZone`
read the never-written engine member (0 monitors again); now reads the recon
member via GetDamageZoneProxy(). Logged in open-questions.
Wiring: BTL4GaugeRenderer now constructs + assigns the BTL4GaugeAlarmManager
(the base ctor NULLs it and Activate Check()s it); MechTech's Report*/
StatusMessageSink stubs are real; alarmModel confirmed baked (= 83) at runtime.

Gitea #46: ammo bay fire now DETONATES and KILLS (+ #47 fire icon) -- three stacked kill-switches removed, the fuse decoded, and a vptr-alias corruption caught by regression
Field report (night 3): "two ammo bay fires and no death" (Cyd + RajelAran; one
purged, one left burning). Root cause = THREE independent kill-switches stacked
on the same path, all in ammobin.cpp:
1. `GameClock::Now() { return 0; }` -- `cookOffTime < Now()` was `0 < 0`, so
an ARMED bay fire never detonated.
2. `InjectHeat(void*) {}` -- the detonation body was a no-op.
3. The bin's Damage record was never stamped -- 0 damage of type 0 (which the
mech TakeDamage handler drops) even if 1+2 had fired.
THE FUSE (raw disasm, scratchpad/disammo.py): the old "RandomDelay" was a Ghidra
carve artifact -- FUN_004dcd94 is __ftol and the export DROPPED the caller's x87
expression. The real bytes @004bd450: fld 10.0 / fmul [ticksPerSecond] /
fadd 0.5 / __ftol -- a FIXED 10.0-SECOND fuse in clock ticks. New gotcha #19
(reconstruction-gotchas.md) documents the __ftol export blind spot.
THE DAMAGE RECORD: bin+0x1F0..0x21C is a real engine `Damage` (FUN_0041db7c IS
Damage::Damage(), byte-matched to T0 DAMAGE.cpp). The linked ProjectileWeapon's
ctor @004bc3fc stamps it from weapon->damageData @0x3A8 via
owner->roster[0x128][res+0x1C0] -- projweap.cpp's old comment called this "the
bin's HUD display block ... wired in the AmmoBin family"; both halves were wrong
and it was wired nowhere. Now stamped (before MissileLauncher's ctor divides by
missileCount -- a missile bin authentically holds the per-SALVO amount).
THE DETONATION (@004ac274 = MechSubsystem::DistributeCriticalHit -- the old
"HeatableSubsystem::InjectHeat" label was wrong, and the old reconstruction
iterated a stand-in CriticalChain whose First()/Next() returned 0):
statusAlarm pulse Exploding(2)->Destroyed(1) (slot 13 = the printSimulationState
state PRINT @004ac8c0, not an "explosion notify"), own private zone pinned
destroyed, then collect the mech DamageZones whose crit entries plug the bin
(the binary filters plug classID 0x4E = DamageZoneClassID -- VDATA.h idx 78,
cross-checked via idx 28 = AudioStateTrigger), split the amount evenly, and send
the OWNER one full Entity::TakeDamageMessage per zone: inflictingEntity = SELF,
damageZone = the zone index, inflictingSubsystemID = the bin (the message-
manager explosion-bundling key, ENTITY3.h's own NOTE), printing the binary's
exact "ammo explosion damaging <zoneName>" @0050df61.
Port shape: Mech::AmmoExplosionFanOut (mechdmg.cpp) behind a databinding bridge;
guarded deviation: zoneCount==0 warns instead of the binary's unguarded divide.
CriticalChain/CriticalEntry stand-ins DELETED from mechrecon.hpp.
VERIFIED LIVE (BT_BAYTEST hook = message 1, the crit-induced arm channel):
scratchpad/baytest.py : arm -> 10s -> "20 rounds x 35 = 700 (type 2)" ->
"ammo explosion damaging dz_ltorso" -> zone cascade -> mech DESTROYED
(authentic death list).
scratchpad/baypurge.py: arm -> eject-hold purge -> "bay fire EXTINGUISHED
(bin empty)", no detonation.
scratchpad/sim3.py : the HEAT route arms organically in combat (overheated
AFC100), detonates "11 x 25 = 275 (type 1)" split across dz_larm + dz_lgun.
BAYBOOM matchlog record added for MP field forensics.
FIX-OF-THE-FIX (caught by the sim3 regression, would have shipped a crash):
MechSubsystem's ReconDamageZone proxy puts structureLevel at OFFSET 0 -- which
ALIASES THE REAL DamageZone's VTABLE POINTER (the private zone is `new
DamageZone`, mechsub.cpp:154; mechsub.hpp:260 documents the alias). My first
DistributeCriticalHit kept the old body's `damageZone->structureLevel = 1.0f`
and OVERWROTE THE ZONE'S VPTR with 0x3F800000; the respawn sweep's virtual
SetGraphicState (vtable+0xC) then called through it -> AV at 0x3f80000c in
RespawnRepair, one frame after a bay-fire death. ALL EIGHT proxy-view sites in
mechsub.cpp swept to the engine view (((DamageZone*)damageZone)->damageLevel
@0x158) -- including two silently-wrong LIVE readers: GetStatusFlags (vptr as
float -> always "intact") and ApplyDamageAndMeasure (the crit cascade's
measure). Ruled out first by evidence: the weapon->bin stamps were all clean
(six stamps, all classID 0xbcb, logged).
#47 (half 1 -- the FIRE ICON): BallisticWeaponCluster::Execute @004c9a38 reads
bin+0x18C = cookOffArmed into the btefire.pcc TwoState, and while armed computes
(Now - cookOffTime)/ticksPerSecond -- the COOK-OFF COUNTDOWN -- into the numeric
beside it. The old reconstruction misread 0x18C as "the reload state" and
bridged the icon to BTAmmoBinFeeding, so it blinked on every feed and never lit
on a bay fire (RajelAran: "it doesn't"). Now driven by the
BTAmmoBinCookOffArmed/CookOffTime complete-type bridges. [T2 -- the data path
is rig-verified; the pixels await the next live session.]
#47 (half 2 -- the ENG-BUTTON FLASH): fully mapped, deliberately NOT built this
session. The authored data SHIPS (BTL4.RES carries exactly one type-31
GaugeAlarmStream); the chain is alarm SetLevel -> gauge-watcher socket ->
Renderer msg 7 -> GaugeAlarmManager::Activate @00448d00 (T0) -> the BTL4
override @004cc148..@004cc2fc (btl4galm.cpp's provenance note claiming "no
override body exists" is WRONG -- corrected in-file) -> LampManager::FindLamp
@00444c80 -> Lamp::SetAlertState @00444e64 (flash counter) -> the L4 flush
@00474e94 emitting flashFast states 0x37/0x13 (== T0 L4LAMP.cpp:234-239).
Missing: the override bodies, the gauge-watcher sender, the aux-button lamps.
3-piece plan in context/open-questions.md.
Also logged: HandleMessage is vtable slot 8/9 in the binary but NON-virtual
across 10 reconstruction classes (bit the BT_BAYTEST hook; typed call used, gap
documented in open-questions).
KB: combat-damage.md (the full cook-off section), decomp-reference.md (the
cluster addresses + the GaugeAlarm/lamp map + BT_BAYTEST env), gauges-hud.md
(the fire-icon correction), reconstruction-gotchas.md #19 (__ftol),

Gitea #44: the reticle TARGET NAME PLATE (PNAME1-8) -- the target's callsign under the crosshair
Reconstructed the last deferred piece of the 1995 reticle, decoded from the Execute disassembly @004cdcf0 [T1]: - selection: target_mech+0x190 (owning BTPlayer) -> player+0x1e0 (playerBitmapIndex), 1-based into the mesh table at this+0x2e8 - placement: re-placed every frame the aim moves -- scale 0.12 uniform, translate (K*retPos.x, K*retPos.y - 0.08, -1.0), K = 1/2.8 (the x87 long double @0x4cee64) -- so the label TRACKS THE AIM POINT, not screen centre - visibility: the LOCK attribute (this+0x184, cached +0x188) AND an owning player; reticle-off / simple-X also hide it - art: the plate quad UV-addresses a shared 128x64 bitslice texmap whose texels the pod OVERWROTE each mission with the egg's callsign rasters (original source commented out at L4VIDEO.cpp:5682-5710) -- the baked 'PLAYER n' art in BMAP.BSL is only the shipped fallback. Material colour is a neutral (0.5,0.5,0.5): grey-white, not phosphor green. Port: same geometry in reticle units (0.224 below the aim point, 0.336x0.084) drawn as the target's egg callsign texture through the reticle's own MapX/MapY mapping, so it follows the world view in every layout and BT_SHOT captures it. New: dpl2d_DrawTexturedRect, BTReticleTargetPlate, BTGetPlayerNameTexture. Also: kRetCaret corrected 0.02f -> 0.025f (_DAT_004cd7f4 read from the binary; the old value was a T3 guess, 20% small). KB: gauges-hud + open-questions corrected (the chain was filed as deferred and mis-attributed to 'the 3D marker'); TWO PNAME consumers now distinguished (this plate, and CameraShipHUDRenderable's ranking window which shipped 2026-07-18); new bgf-format section on the plate atlas. Rig-verified: 2-node relay, BT_GOTO=enemy -> '[hud] name plate: bmp=2 tex=1' and 'Boreas' rendered under the crosshair on the locked target. Solo clean.

Issue #31: wire the EJECT button (EjectAmmo msg 0xb @004bb9b8) -- the in-mission unjam
Disasm-faithful transcription of the export-gap handler onto ProjectileWeapon (MESSAGE_ENTRY id 0xb, the #19 pattern). PRESS arms the ~3s UpdateEject countdown (bin alarm -> Ejecting(3); gate 2 parks the weapon offline mid-eject -- authentic). HOLD to completion = DumpAmmo jettisons the bay -> NoAmmo. TAP (release early) cycles ONE round out via FeedAmmo and returns the weapon to Loading -- clears a jam at the cost of a round (and recovers a FailureHeat 7 while rounds remain). Binary structure kept exactly incl. the press-no-bin fall-through into the release block. AmmoBin: Ejecting(3)/Ejected(4) alarm levels decoded + named SetAmmoState accessor (databinding rule). Always-on forensics: '[weap] EJECT tap' + '[ammo] bay DUMPED overboard (N rounds)'. Rig-verified live (BT_EJECTTEST=1 / =hold on LRM15): taps eject one round each and return the weapon to service (15->8 across cycles); hold dumps all 16 -> NoAmmo.

Issue #27: projectiles carry the weapon's real damage type (ballistic)
Playtest matchlog forensics: across 2,591 applied-damage events in two rounds, Ballistic (type 1) damage NEVER appeared -- Collision/Explosive/ Laser/Energy only -- despite 136 projectile impacts and autocannon/Gauss mechs. The weapon parses its authentic damageData.damageType correctly (mechweap.cpp:316 maps "BallisticDamage" -> 1), but BTPushProjectile never carried the type and every projectile-impact site in mech4.cpp hardcoded ExplosiveDamageType. So autocannon/Gauss rounds were scaled against armor by damageScale[Explosive] instead of damageScale[Ballistic] (the model indexes a distinct scale cell per damage type) -- every ballistic weapon did the wrong damage all night. Lasers/PPCs were unaffected (their SendDamageMessage path carries the weapon's own damageData); missiles happen to BE Explosive so only autocannon & Gauss were mis-scaled. BTProjectile gains a damageType field, threaded from the firing weapon (damageData.damageType) at launch through to the impact dispatch; missiles resolve Explosive from their own streamed type, autocannon/ Gauss now resolve Ballistic. The missile-splash template stays Explosive. Enum is anonymous so the field casts to Enumeration. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

Issue #26: runtime master volume (-/= keys, persisted)
The game audio plays hot with no in-game control -- testers couldn't hear voice chat without the Windows mixer (playtest night). The -/= keys now step the OpenAL listener gain (the master scale every source inherits) in 5% steps, clamped 0..150%, edge-detected in the per-frame poll with a foreground guard; the value persists to content\volume.cfg and reloads at boot (BT_AUDIO_VOLUME env still wins when set; default stays 0.6). README updated. Verified: volume.cfg 0.25 -> boot log "master gain=0.25"; key stepping needs a live focused session (awaiting live verification).

Issue #22: respawn resets ammo + repairs weapons (the +0x28 mislabel)
ROOT CAUSE [T1]: Mech::Reset's subsystem sweep (@0049fb74 loop-2) calls
vtable slot +0x28, which the DATA-section vtables prove is
ResetToInitialState (0050f9d8/00511d2c/00512078/0051242c all carry the
class RTIS at +0x28) -- our reconstruction mislabeled it DeathReset,
the EMPTY engine base virtual, so the whole per-subsystem reset was a
silent no-op ("ammo and weapons do not reset on respawn", playtest
night; matchlogs: 3 of 7 players fired zero projectiles after their
first death).
SECOND LAYER: the binary never refilled ammo at all -- its respawn
severed the vehicle and DropZoneReply built a NEW mech (fresh ctor =
full bins, pristine subsystems: the pod behavior testers remember).
Our port deliberately reuses the entity (the new-mech path was the
two-mech/camera-glitch family), so Reset now EMULATES ctor-freshness:
- the sweep starts at i=2 (binary-faithful: skips mapper + voltage
bus) and dispatches the engine DeathReset virtual as the vehicle;
per-class overrides chain each class's own authentic slot-10 RTIS
body (the recon RTIS namesakes are statically bound -- no common
virtual): MechWeapon @004b96ec, Emitter @004ba4d0 (charge cycle
restarts from Loading), ProjectileWeapon @004bbaf8 (unjams).
- MechSubsystem::RespawnRepair (PORT): heals the subsystem's PRIVATE
crit damage zone + status alarm -- the mech-zone heal never touched
those, which kept destroyed weapons dead across respawns.
- AmmoBin::DeathReset (PORT): refills to initialAmmoCount (@0x220, the
ctor value) + Loaded alarm + idle feed + cook-off disarmed;
ResetToInitialState stays authentically EMPTY per AMMOBIN.TCP.
Verified (2-node force-damage kill/respawn rig, BT_DEATH_LOG): every
respawn logs [respawn] ammo bin refills for both bins to streamed
capacity across 4 death cycles; mission un-regressed. KB corrected +
swept (multiplayer.md task #52 notes). Awaiting live tester
verification of depleted-bin refill + revived weapons.

MP match forensics: per-peer matchlog + relay auto-upload + matchcheck
For the 8-player playtest. Damage authority is VICTIM-side, so no single peer sees the whole match: every -net instance now writes a compact machine-parseable matchlog_<date>_<time>_<pid>.txt (auto-armed by -net; BT_MATCHLOG=1/0 overrides; solo silent), and at mission end a relay-mode pod dials the relay game port (the seat-request throwaway-dial pattern, envelope route -9) and streams the file back -- the relay saves every peer's copy under matchlogs/ on the operator's machine, so testers send nothing by hand. tools/matchcheck.py <dir> reconciles all of them: damage claimed (FIRE/PROJ/SPLASH/RAM, shooter-side) vs applied (DMG, victim-side authoritative), kill/death replication across observers, PLAYER_DEAD counts, scores, version skew, replicant-application and unattributed-damage anomalies, mid-mission disconnects. Hooks at the authoritative sites: Mech::TakeDamageMessageHandler (DMG, post-base, zone + post-application damageLevel), MechWeapon:: SendDamageMessage (FIRE), projectile impact/splash/collision dispatch (PROJ/SPLASH/RAM), wreck entry (DEATH -- a ONE-SHOT latch at MovementMode 9, NOT the transition: a replicant arrives at 9 straight from the type-6 record header and never runs the transition branch), BTPlayer vehicle/death/score handlers (VEHICLE/PLAYER_DEAD/SCORE), zone crit cascade (CRIT), APP.cpp RunningMission (MISSION), L4NET host handlers (PEER_UP/PEER_DOWN). Every line t=/w=/st=-stamped + fflushed. Verified 2-node: mesh run pairs A's 22 FIRE 1:1 with B's 22 DMG (same amounts, cylinder-resolved zones, ~200ms latency); force-damage kill run logs 103 DMG + 3 DEATH inst=M + 3 PLAYER_DEAD across three respawn cycles victim-side and the kill SCOREs shooter-side; relay-mode run auto-uploaded BOTH peers' files at the mission-clock stop and matchcheck produced the full report with exactly one (correct) anomaly -- the force hook's claim-less damage, the unattributed-damage detector working. Relay gained a route-specific 8MB cap for the upload frame (game frames stay capped at 1600). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

Issue #20: wire Mech BalanceCoolant (id 0x16) -- the auto-cooling-balance button
Third instance of the silent-swallow pattern (unregistered handler id ->
Receiver NullHandler). The Mech handler table @0x50BDF8 binds
{0x16, "BalanceCoolant" -> @0049f728}; the reconstruction never registered it.
Disasm-verified body (@0049f728): press-only guard (msg+0xc > 0; the binary
has NO novice lockout on this one), set EVERY condenser's valveState@0x1D0
to 1 (equal weights), then the shared redistribute @0049f788 -- which the
port ALREADY had faithfully as BTRecomputeCondenserValves (flow =
valve/total + condenserAlarm pulse; MoveValve calls it). So the fix is:
- mech.hpp/mech.cpp: BalanceCoolantMessageID=0x16 + handler + MESSAGE_ENTRY
- heatfamily_reslice.cpp: BTBalanceCondenserValves bridge (Condenser is a
complete type there; sets valves to 1 + redistributes)
- mech4.cpp: BT_BALTEST scripted harness (MoveValve press alternating with
a Balance press)
VERIFIED headless (BT_BALTEST=1 BT_VALVE_LOG=1):
boot -> all valves 1, flows 0.1667 each
MoveValve-> condenser#1 valve 5, flows 0.5 / 0.1x5 (the priority boost)
BALANCE -> all valves 1, flows 0.1667 each (equalized)
Awaiting the tester's live ADV-mode confirmation.

Issue #19: wire ToggleSeekVoltage (Myomers id 9 + energy weapons id 0xb)
Root cause -- NOT issue #2 (the experience mis-seed pins everyone to VETERAN, which PASSES the novice lockout; the gates were never the blocker). Two unwired handlers, the same silent-swallow pattern ToggleCooling had (Receiver::Receive -> NullHandler for an unregistered id): - Myomers (handler table @0x51158C {9,"ToggleSeekVoltage"@004b8a48}): the reconstruction had an EMPTY stub (the address falls in the untagged decomp gap 0x4b8837..0x4b8a8c) and never registered the id. Body reconstructed faithfully from the raw disassembly (tools/disas2.py 0x4b8a48): novice lockout (@4ac9c8) -> heat-model gate (@4ad7d4) -> press-only (msg+0xc>0) -> currentSeekVoltageIndex@0x320 = (idx+1) % (maxSeekVoltageIndex@0x32C + 1). Modulo from zero, min index not consulted, no ResetFiringState. - Emitter (energy-weapon table @0x511DB8 {0xb,"ToggleSeekVoltage"@004ba478}): the faithful body already existed as the orphaned "AdvanceSeekVoltage" (ZERO callers) -- converted to the registered message handler (same guards; cycle + ResetFiringState when not wrapping, disasm re-verified). PPC and GaussRifle copy-inherit the set; the ammo branch keeps its own id 0xb == EjectAmmo (still unwired, tracked separately). Both registered via MESSAGE_ENTRY on top of the inherited chains. Permanent diagnostics: [seek] gear log (BT_SEEK_LOG) + BT_SEEKTEST scripted dispatch harness (mech4.cpp, the cooltoggle pattern). VERIFIED headless: [seek] Myomers -> 3,0,1,2,3... and [seek] PPC_1 -> 3,0,1,2,3... (modulo-4 wrap, matching the binary's arithmetic). Awaiting the tester's live ADV-mode confirmation for the real MFD button route (the routing layer is the same streamed-EventMapping path ToggleCooling verified).

Wire ToggleCooling (msg 3): restore the coolant on/off button + handler chain
Coolant priority (Lynx: weapon MFD -> Display -> Coolant) was unreachable: the ToggleCooling handler (@004ad6f8, HeatableSubsystem table @0x50E41C id 3) was undefined AND the handler chain skipped it -- PoweredSubsystem::GetMessageHandlers chained straight to the Receiver root, bypassing HeatSink/HeatableSubsystem, so a weapon's dispatch never saw id 3. Reconstructed ToggleCooling from the disassembly (tools/disas2.py 0x4ad6f8): a per-subsystem coolant on/off TOGGLE -- novice-locked (owner->BTPlayer-> roleClassIndex+0x274==0, the same guard as MoveValve), press-only, then flip coolantAvailable(+0x134) 0<->1 and coolantFlowScale(+0x15C) 0.0f<->1.0f. Cutting a system's cooling frees the shared loop for the rest -- the emergent "coolant priority" (the mechanism is a toggle, not a multi-level cycle). - heat.hpp / heatfamily_reslice.cpp: HeatSink::ToggleCoolingMessageHandler (id 3) + HeatSink::GetMessageHandlers. Registered at HeatSink (the abstract HeatableSubsystem never instantiates; every concrete heatable subsystem is a HeatSink, where the coolant fields live) -- identical coverage to the binary's base-table registration, no downcast. - powersub.cpp + Condenser/Reservoir: chain their handler sets through HeatSink::GetMessageHandlers so id 3 reaches every heatable subsystem. - mech4.cpp: BT_COOLTOGGLE_TEST scripted inject (dispatch id 3 to the first weapon) for verification. Verified (BT_COOLTOGGLE_TEST + BT_COOL_LOG, expert egg): "[cool] PPC_1 ToggleCooling reached" then coolant OFF(flow 0.0) <-> ON(flow 1.0) each press -- chain routes, handler toggles, novice guard honored. Both build/ + build-glass/ compile clean; existing ids 4-8 unaffected (found before id 3). NEXT: the #2 MFD button routing. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

Boresight parallax FIXED + the #4/#5 verdict instrumentation (Gitea #16, #4, #5)
PARALLAX (#16): the pick/fire ray was anchored at mech.y+5.0 (a port improvisation) while the sight line ran from the eyepoint (y=6.23) -- two parallel rays whose constant offset grew into the reported low-miss as range closed (measured ry +0.072 @50u -> +1.54 @2.7u). The decomp's sight and pick share the eye origin (HudSimulation @4b7830 chain). Fix: the viewpoint mech's cockpit eye owns the aim-camera publish in BOTH views, origin = its own eye translation; leveling + deliberate elevation untouched; chase view now converges to cockpit ballistics (V cannot change where shots land). After: pick pinned to the crosshair (ry <= 5e-6) from 50u to point-blank; 26 laser + 8 missile center-mass hits at 3/4-screen. Awaiting the reporters' approach-test. VERDICT INSTRUMENTATION (#4 closed authentic, #5 verdict posted): BT_RANGE_LOG per-frame pick tracing + BTGroundRayHitExact analytic cross-check (0/8000 arena fall-throughs; cavern 6/8400 single-frame grazes -- the 'crazy sliding' is the authentic world-pick + 500 m/s slide over depth discontinuities); BT_AUD_TAIL StopNote/fade timing + BT_FIRE_PULSE single-shot driver (the energy 'buzz' is the AUTHORED charging loop: crescendo through recharge, 1.309s authored release, measured within one frame).

Glass lever: port the pod-build GAIT DETENT to the PadRIO throttle slew
Human re-test on the fresh build: zero-stop OK, but the lever could PARK inside
the walk/run hysteresis band (walkStrideLength@0x534 .. reverseSpeedMax@0x538)
where the gait SM has no stable state -- walk<->run hunt, EngineShiftFwd/Rev
retriggering ("mixed walk/run mode + repeated acceleration sample"). The
pod-build keyboard lever already snaps out of the band to the NEARER edge at
key-rest (mech4.cpp GAIT DETENT); the PadRIO slew channel lacked it.
Faithful port, not an invention: mech4.cpp publishes the band in lever units
every driven frame (gBTGaitDetentLo/Hi seam, same guards + the same +0.002
engage margin); L4PADRIO Poll() applies the identical nearer-edge snap to the
Throttle channel when the slew rests (no slew key held, no pad slew axis
deflected). Sweeping through the band while held stays continuous (the
authentic moving lever, one authentic shift).
Verified (DEV.EGG glass, graduated parks each ~0.10 of the sweep,
BT_GAIT_TRACE+BT_MPPR_TRACE): band [0.358026,0.50388) = demand 22.02-30.87;
in-band parks snap both directions (0.4137->lo, 0.465126->hi); no at-rest
sample in the band; exactly ONE walk->run clip (state 10) up and ONE run->walk
(state 14) down across the whole sweep; zero-stop unaffected; pod build
rebuilt + BT_AUTODRIVE smoke clean.

Fix 1 (Gitea #12): disasm-exact ProjectileWeaponSimulation @004bbd04 + the dirty-bit sweep
Replace the RivetGun-modeled ProjectileWeaponSimulation body with the fully recovered binary machine (capstone disasm, every branch address-cited): - gate 1 @4bbd36: simulationState@0x40==1 (destroyed) || heatAlarm==FailureHeat || owner disabled -> recoil=rechargeRate + alarm 7 (was: simulationFlags==1) - gate 2 @4bbd71: bin alarm 2/3 or bin destroyed -> alarm 7 re-pinned per frame - Loaded @4bbec2: DENIED shots (viewFireEnable off / no owner target) blip SetLevel(4);SetLevel(2) and STAY LOADED, no ammo pull (the old FireWeapon early-returns under an unconditionally-cycling caller faked a full firing pip cycle -- the "missiles cycle but never launch" incident mechanic); the ammo pull is bin->FeedAmmo @4bbee6 in the CALLER; both updateModel|=1 marks (@4bbf05/@4bbf4c = ForceUpdate) bracket FireWeapon; recoil set @4bbf51 - Loading @4bbdd2: recoil bleeds ONLY here at electrical Ready and CLAMPS at 0 (it ran to -114 before); bin Loaded -> weapon Loaded - 7 @4bbe4d: binary-faithful roach motel (re-asserted unconditionally; recovery = ResetToInitialState only) - slot 17 @004b9c9c reconstructed as MechWeapon::ComputeOutputVoltage (rechargeLevel=(rechargeRate-recoil)/rechargeRate, Emitter overrides with @4ba738) and called from Loading/7 -- the launcher recharge dial ANIMATES (the old "authentically static" claim was wrong) FireWeapon bodies stripped to heat+spawn only per @004bcc60 (no view gate, no ConsumeRound, no recoil); ConsumeRound retired (not a binary method). Gotcha #20 sweep (all sites disasm-verified): simulationFlags|=0x1 == engine DelayWatchersFlag (audio watchers muted forever) removed everywhere -- projweap/mislanch fire marks, ProjectileWeapon::ResetToInitialState (@4bbb47 = updateModel|=1); Emitter::SetDirty retired and split per binary site into ForceUpdate() (@4bafaa/@4ba55d) vs ExecuteOnUpdate() (@4ba99a/@4ba943); Emitter fault gate GetFlags()==1 -> simulationState==1 (@4baab9). AmmoBin::GetAmmoState() accessor added (named-member read of ammoAlarm@0x1A8). BT_LOOK_TEST=<frame> scripted verify added (mech4.cpp): holds the rear-view button 300f on/300f off to drive viewFireEnable headlessly. Verified solo ARENA1 (bhk1, autofire): 54-60 [projectile] PUSH + impact smoke; look-back denial window = trigger pulses, state stays 2, zero launches, resumes on release; enemy (disabled) mech launchers pinned 7 + full recoil; STREAK-6 recharge dial sweeps across BT_SHOT frames; lasers fire throughout; zero gauge faults.

SeekVoltageGraph: full reconstruction -- the eng-page POWER graph + top-box eraser (Gitea #11)
The #10 audit's one WRONG: the port Execute was a bring-up no-op, so the emitter/myomer engineering pages never erased their top data box -> stale sibling-page ghosts on the shared Eng bit-plane (SYSTEM 10 PPC showing the Streak ammo box, etc). Full faithful widget landed: - btl4gau2: ctor/BecameActive/Execute/clear/ticks/cursor recovered from the capstone disasm of @004c6798/@004c6920/@004c6934/@004c6be4/@004c6c30/ @004c6c6c (Ghidra dropped every x87 arg). Plot: v=0..12000 step 1200, x=Round(response(v)*230), y=Round(v*(1/12000)*187) (ld80 @004c6bd0/@004c6d74 = exactly 1/12000); change-test samples the response at 12000V vs the 9999 activation sentinel; XOR op for tick/cursor move-by-redraw; destroyed branch centres edestryd.pcc and revives via own vtbl+0xC (BecameActive, slot 3 of PTR_0051a1fc -- vtable-dump verified). - The vtbl+0x3C sampler identified from the binary vtables: Emitter slot 15 @004bb42c = sqrt(P(v)/2.0e8), P @004bb3f4 = damageFraction*v^2*0.5* energyCoefficient; Myomers slot 15 @004b8f94 = sqrt(AvailableOutput(v)*3.6/ 350). FUN_004dd138 == sqrt (part_015.c:4026): myomers' fabs reading corrected, GetSpeedReading renamed SeekVoltageResponse. Port dispatch via complete-type bridges BTSeekVoltageSample/BTMyomersSeekSample + BTSubsystemDestroyed (databinding rule). - Emitter's AUTHENTIC attribute table recovered (binary @0x511dd4, ids 0x1D-0x25) and published: Laser*/Seek*/OutputVoltage@0x414 (currentLevel, RAW volts -- the live-cursor feed). Field renames per the table: 0x3F8 minSeekVoltageIndex / 0x3FC maxSeekVoltageIndex (static_assert-locked). The MechWeapon 0x1D OutputVoltage PORT ALIAS retired (binary table ends 0x1C; Find walks lowest-id-first, the alias shadowed the authentic row). PPC::DefaultData -> Emitter::GetAttributeIndex(). - mech4: BT_PRESET_HOLD=<n> (freeze the #9 preset cycler after n pulses) for steady-state pixel verification; BT_SEEK_LOG diag. Verified live (BLH, autofire): both #10 repro pairs held ghost-free for minutes (SYS09->SYS10 PPC, SYS02->SYS04 ERMed, SYS05->SYS06 Myomers); curves draw with live cursors; one replot per activation; quad panels/J-K-L/sec panel un-regressed.

Gitea #9: the upper-MFD PRESET pages (3 MFDs x 5) live -- SetPresetMode
table re-decoded to the ModeMFD bits + desktop J/K/L page cycle
The preset system was unwired by ONE defect in the message layer: the
SetPresetMode @004d1b24 table @0051dbf0 had been transcribed from the
section dump as BIG-endian dwords ({0x1e,0x01000000} instead of
{0x1e,0x01}), so a preset press set a garbage high bit -- and for group 1
items 3-4 / group 2 items 0-2 stomped the LIVE NonMapping / Intercom /
ModeSecondary* bits -- while the real page bits never moved. Ground
truth (section_dump.txt:72901-72908, little-endian + BTL4MODE.HPP [T0]):
set = ModeMFD{1,2,3}{Quad,Eng1-4} = 1<<(group*5+item), bits 0-14, fully
disjoint from the #6 secondary trio (bits 18-20); group 2 is MFD3, NOT a
duplicate of the secondary views.
What the 15 presets show (l4gauge.cfg): group = the MFD (Mfd1 lower left
/ Mfd2 upper center / Mfd3 lower right), item 0 = the btquad.pcx Quad
overview (up to 4 vehicleSubSystems cluster panels), items 1-4 = the
full-screen engineering-detail pages (bteng.pcx + prepEngr screens
group*4+1..4 + the cluster eng children: GENERATOR SELECT A-D, POWER
graph, COOLING loop, DAMAGE, ammo). Empty screens are authored per mech
(Blackhawk: 3/11/12 empty).
Authentic dispatch (streamed "L4" .CTL EventMappings, BT_CTRLMAP_LOG
dump): each MFD owns the 8-button RIO bank around it, MODE-MASK-gated --
Mfd1 = 0x08-0x0F, Mfd2 = 0x20-0x27, Mfd3 = 0x00-0x07. Quad page ->
direct-select buttons for the POPULATED eng pages (mapper msgs
Aux1Eng1-4 0x4-0x7 / Aux2* 0x9-0xC / Aux3* 0xE-0x11); eng page -> one
back-to-Quad button (0x3/0x8/0xD) + per-subsystem controls. These
records already install and fire on desktop (btinput passes the live
manager mask), so the NUMPAD profile's 0x20-0x27 keys page MFD2
authentically.
Port wiring (the #6 pattern): keys J/K/L -> actions Mfd1/2/3Cycle ->
gBTPresetCycle -> L4MechControlsMapper::CyclePresetModeNow(group) -- a
documented desktop shim (24 mode-dependent pod buttons don't fit a
keyboard) that cycles Quad -> populated Eng pages -> Quad, visiting
exactly the pod-reachable set; the body is the authentic SetPresetMode.
Dev-composite: BTDrawGaugeSurfaces now draws the Eng1-3 planes at their
sibling cells and skips any mono plane whose channel is BlankColor,
honoring the mode-driven reconfigure (RemapGraphicsPort) -- each dev
cell shows the ACTIVE page like the pod monitor. This supersedes and
removes the 2026-07-12 GAUGREND "frozen-dial" scaffold (forced all 15
page bits active under BT_DEV_GAUGES; it pinned the shared Eng plane on
the highest screen and ate the page flips).
Pixel-verified (BT_PRESET_TEST + BT_DEV_GAUGES_DOCK + BT_SHOT,
Blackhawk): all three MFDs page Quad -> SYSTEM NN eng details -> back to
Quad in lockstep with the [mode] preset mask log; group 0 skips the
authored-empty screen 3, group 2 skips 11/12. Un-regressed: N display
cycle (0x450421->0x490421->0x510421, page bits intact), M control mode,
CONTROLS.MAP 52 bindings parse clean.
Diags: BT_MODE_LOG ([mode] preset), BT_PRESET_TEST=<frame>.

Gitea #6: secondary MFD Damage/Critical/Heat cycling -- reconstruct the
NotifyOfDisplayModeChange override (vtbl+0x4C @4d1ae4) + wire desktop 'N'
The secondary screen's schematic selector was mislabeled: @004d1ae4 (the
bits-18..20 ModeSecondary* mask swap) was reconstructed as a non-virtual
"SetControlMode" that nothing called, so the desktop stayed pinned on the
Damage view. The binary's L4 vtable @0051e440 pins the truth:
+0x48 = @004d1acc <- CycleControlModeMessageHandler (FUN_004afbe0):
forwards to the base RET no-op @004b048c. A BAS/MID/ADV
control-mode change never touches the secondary view
(empirically confirmed: BT_MODECYCLE_TEST cycles the CONTROL
MODE lamp, mask bits 18-20 unchanged, schematic stays ARMOR).
+0x4C = @004d1ae4 <- CycleDisplayModeMessageHandler (FUN_004afcac):
THE Damage/Critical/Heat selector, indexed by displayMode
(table @0051dbe4 = ModeSecondaryDamage/Critical/Heat).
Authentic pod inputs (streamed type-6 .CTL EventMappings, dumped via the
new BT_CTRLMAP_LOG EVENT records): secondary-panel button 0x15 -> msg
0x15 CycleDisplayMode (manual p13, the "'Mech status Info center" bottom
left of the secondary screen), button 0x18 -> msg 0x14 CycleControlMode
(manual p6, top right), 0x10/0x11 -> ZoomIn/Out. The DOS keyboard
fallbacks (Keypress 0x13d/0x13e = extended F3/F4) are dead under the
WinTesla VK map, hence the desktop pin.
Port wiring (the M/ModeCycle pattern): key N / pad RightThumb -> action
DisplayCycle -> gBTDisplayCycle -> CycleDisplayModeNow() -- the same body
the pod console button message drives. Both .MAP profiles + the
compiled-in default updated.
Verified live (docked gauges + BT_SHOT, BT_VIEWCYCLE_TEST): the sec
panel cycles ARMOR DAMAGE silhouette -> CRITICAL DAMAGE subsystem list
-> HEAT DAMAGE colored list, mask 0x450421 -> 0x490421 -> 0x510421; M
control-mode cycling un-regressed (BAS/MID/ADV lamp cycles, view pinned).
Diags: BT_MODE_LOG, BT_VIEWCYCLE_TEST=<frame>, BT_MODECYCLE_TEST=<frame>,
BT_CTRLMAP_LOG now dumps EVENT records. KB: gauges-hud secondary-view
section rewritten, CLASSMAP +0x48/+0x4C slots, decomp-reference env
gates, GAUGE_COMPOSITE phase-4 entry resolved.

Coolant Flush end-to-end (Gitea #7): InjectCoolant id-4 handler + drain + FLUSH.PFX cloud + 'H' key
The playtest report (sound plays, no gauge drop, no cloud) traced to the
Reservoir's InjectCoolant chain being dead in three places:
- The handler was never REGISTERED: the binary's Reservoir handler table
@0x50e680 has one entry {4, "InjectCoolant", @4aee70}; added
Reservoir::GetMessageHandlers + the press/release handler (press starts
the flush gated on coolantLevel@0x12C > 0 -- the old body misread +0x12C
as currentTemperature; release stops it; novice lockout via FUN_004ac9c8).
- Reservoir::InjectCoolant (@4aefa4, 1019 bytes) was an empty stub -- the
drain the coolant gauge reads. Reconstructed in full: work list =
condenser/weapon/heatable chains (+0x7cc/+0x7bc/+0x7ac, roster-walk
emulation with the binary's duplicate-visit weighting; HeatSink-filtered
[T2 guarded]) + the linked master sink; per sink with flowScale != 0 move
squirtMass x flowScale x dt (clamped to the tank / sink capacity) and
credit pendingHeat with the negative carried-heat delta capped at
sinkMass x reservoir startingTemperature -- the set%-biased flush of the
manual (p24), riding the existing heat model.
- Two latent ctor decode bugs surfaced and fixed: the master gate @4af408
(and @4aeb40 HeatWatcher, swept) reads the OWNER MECH's simulationFlags
(*(param_2+0x28)), not the resource's subsystemFlags (the misread left
the CoolantSimulation Performance unregistered); and the capacity scale
FILDs the bank's INTEGER HeatSinkCount ((float10)*(int*)(link+0x1d0)) --
the float reinterpret gave ~1e-44 -> a permanently empty tank.
Capacity = 0.05 x heatSinkCount x streamed CoolantCapacity (BLH: 6.0).
Visual: the binary's mode-1 coolant-effect renderable (FUN_00456a68, built
for classID 0xBC0 on "ReservoirState", part_014.c:5439; tick @part_007.c:
8780) starts psfx 19 = FLUSH.PFX ("Coolant flush", BTDPL.INI) when the
state changes to 1 -- BTSpawnFlushCloud (mech4.cpp) spawns it on the same
alarm edge as an attached emitter at torso height.
Input: new CONTROLS.MAP action "Flush" on 'H' (HELD; press+release both
dispatch, the held-button payload). Diags: BT_FLUSH_LOG, BT_FLUSH_TEST.
Verified live (FOGDAY): [flush] Reservoir level 6 -> 0.13 -> 0 over ~0.6 s
held (= the manual's 3-4 punches to empty), the coolant vertBar source
Reservoir/CoolantMass drains, and the bluish condensation cloud rises from
the mech (scratchpad/flush_cloud.png vs flush_before.png).

Aim ray follows the torso elevation (the boresight leveling erased it)
Follow-through on the pitch fix: the view pitched but shots still flew level (user report). Cause: the task-#48 AIM BORESIGHT leveling in the eye's aim-camera publish (L4VIDRND) strips ALL pitch from the pick-ray direction -- correct for the TERRAIN body pitch it was built against, but it also erased the pilot's deliberate R/F elevation. Fix: mech4's per-frame eye compose publishes the torso elevation (gBTEyeElev); the publisher re-applies it onto the LEVELED forward (fwd = (cos e * level, sin e)) before building the basis -- terrain pitch stays stripped, the deliberate aim survives into BTGetAimRay. Sign matches the pixel-calibrated view compose (+ = up). Harness evidence: pinned-down elevation visibly pitches the chase eye into the terrain (the ray basis moves); a full headless aimed-kill could not be driven (the autofire gate needs a designated target and the random spawns wedged short of the truck row) -- aim-at-truck kill needs the human pass. Awaiting human verification (issue #8). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

Torso-elevation aim LIVE: R/F now pitches the view + aim ray (pitch was inert)
User + tester reports: pitch does not work. Root cause: the Torso sim integrated the R/F / stick-Y axis into currentElevation (authored limits and rates all correct) but NOTHING consumed it -- eyepointRotation's only writer was the look-state switch, so neither the cockpit view nor the aim ray (camera basis) ever pitched. Shots always flew level; low targets (trucks) were unhittable. Fix (faithful: the pod's stick-Y pitches the EYE; the torso geometry does not tilt): per-frame compose in the HUD tick -- eyepointRotation = EulerAngles(lookPitch + torsoElevation, lookYaw, 0); BTCommitLookState now stores its look component in gBTLookPitch/Yaw; new complete-type bridge BTGetTorsoElevation (torso.cpp, mirrors BTGetTorsoTwist). DPLEyeRenderable consumes it every frame, so the view and the boresight aim pitch together (crosshair stays screen-centred). Sign PIXEL-CALIBRATED via new diag BT_FORCE_ELEV=<-1..1> (pins the axis headless): screenshots confirm axis +1 (key R) = aim UP, -1 (F) = down. X still recenters. Awaiting human verification.

Issue #3 (b)+(c): weapon damage reaches cultural icons -> full trkdead explosion + authored burn fire
(b) The 'tiny explosion' on the ram kill is AUTHORED: crunch res 31 = 'stephit'
(one video object, effect 1008 = ddam5 damage smoke) -- a step/ram squash is
small by design. The FULL explosion res 32 = 'trkdead' = psfx 15 dtrkboom
(fiery omni burst) + psfx 16 dtrkburn (the burning-wreck fire), reached by
WEAPON kills -- which the 1995 binary dispatches [T1]:
- MechWeapon::SendDamageMessage @004b9728 (part_013.c:6765) gates only
"target NOT derived from Mech@0x50bdb4 OR aimed zone set": a non-Mech
boresight target takes the zone=-1 damage UNCONDITIONALLY;
- Missile contact @004be078 dispatches at the struck solid's OWNER entity
with no class test at all.
Port wiring: Mech::WorldStructurePick returns the struck solid's owning entity
(BoxedSolid::GetOwningSimulation; TERRAIN.cpp:107/246 build every static solid
with its Terrain/CulturalIcon/Door entity as owner); the mech4 pick block
designates IT instead of the gBTTerrainEntity sentinel (sentinel = fallback);
the projectile contact path grew the non-mech damage-zoned else-branch
(@004be078 mirror, direct Dispatch). Plain terrain ignores the damage
(ENTITY.cpp:885 zone==-1 guard); an icon's handler maps -1 -> 0 and dies.
Truck armor is WeaponDamagePoints=1 (TRK.DMG): one laser = one dead truck.
(c) The burning fire is dtrkburn.pfx, authored INTO the death package (every
icon family carries 1016: trkdead/bigdead/meddead/msldead/twrdead). There is
NO looping BurningState fire in the binary: the damage-zone effect watcher
ctor @0042a984 has exactly one call site (the Mech ctor, part_012.c:10405), so
icon ExplosionTables are inert, and CulturalIcon has no Performance.
Documented as authentic -- nothing invented.
Verified live (BT_SHOT pixel capture): 26 laser kills, [cult] TakeDamage
type=3 -> DYING res=32 -> DPLIndependantEffect 1015+1016 at the icon origin;
frames show the orange dtrkboom fireball, dtrkburn flames on the fresh wreck,
and the rubble aftermath; ram harness re-run still fires crunch res 31.
Diags: BT_FIRE_AT_ICON (designate nearest ahead icon; live-icon census in
CULTURAL.cpp), BT_FX_TEST="1015,1016".
