* SpecialCaseDeathPenalty restored to the engine ScenarioRole (SCNROLE.h/
.cpp) -- the 4.10-only role field the 2007 WinTesla source dropped
(record slot [1] after KillBonus, fail-hard read; role+0x20; the
DefaultRendererRate pattern). Its consumer decoded from the @004c05c4
export gap (@004c07cd, missing from the #52 reconstruction): every
death with advancedDamageOn hands the ENGINE base ScoreMessageHandler
(@0042da20 == PLAYER.cpp:138, a DIRECT call bypassing the BT type
Verifies) a type-1 award of -penalty. Wired verbatim. Shipped content
authors the key nowhere -> cost 0 in the field. NUANCE [T4]: the 1995
engine adds at Player+0x1c8, which no BT scoreboard reads (+0x278) --
the pod's cost may never have displayed; our single-cell port shows it.
* The eject console notice: FUN_004c198c IS the
ConsolePlayerMechDeathWithoutHonorMessage ctor (T0 BTCNSL.CPP survives
and is compiled) -- "death without honor" is the punch-out record.
BTPlayerEjectBookkeeping now sends it to the console host through the
same ConsoleClientID path as the VTVDamaged notify, then latches
suppressConsole: the eject notice REPLACES the death notify. Verified
two-node: "notice -> console host 1" fires on the ejecting node; the
relay-side delivery of client-5 traffic is a pre-existing question
shared with the never-observed VTVDamaged sibling (operator-console
workstream).
* Eject alarm-10 audio: resolved NEGATIVE -- the five Eject*.wav ship in
AUDIO/ but BTL4.RES references them nowhere (orphaned like the SQUAT
clips); wiring them would be a stand-in. Operator-optional deviation.
* RIO 0x38 panic control: deferred with the plumbing documented (the
glass Flight-Controls window already renders the 0x38 bank; consumer =
read buttonGroup[ButtonPanic] alongside the binding-engine edge) --
pod-hardware-only, untestable on this bench.
Two-node verify (fresh-exe rerun after a stale-exe trap): REFUSED
healthy, PUNCH-OUT after generator kill, death + wreck swap + smoke +
un-wreck warp all replicated on the observer, respawned mech refuses
again, console notice fired.

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.
