BT411/players/play_solo.bat

@echo off
rem BT411 -- single-player play.  Opens the MISSION MENU: pick your mech
rem (all 18), map, experience level, colours, weather, mission length and
rem more, then launch.  SOLO MISSION = timed with scoring; RAW SOLO =
rem endless practice.  The menu returns after each mission.
cd /d %~dp0
rem ONE unified build (2026-07-21): the exe carries every layer; the GLASS
rem platform env arms the desktop cockpit (clickable MFD buttons, trigger
rem config, bindings.txt keymap).
set BT_PLATFORM=glass
if not exist "build\Release\btl4.exe" goto badpath
if not exist "content\OPERATOR.EGG" goto badpath
set BT_START_INSIDE=1
set BT_DEV_GAUGES=1
rem LOGGING (2026-07-28): the bat no longer names or rotates the log.  With
rem BT_LOG unset the exe names a PER-DAY file itself -- content\solo_YYYYMMDD.log
rem -- and always appends, so every session of the day lands in one file with a
rem "===== BT411 SESSION ... =====" header between them.
rem
rem WHY: rotation kept only TWO generations (del *.old.log, then ren *.log
rem *.old.log).  On 2026-07-27 a player crashed twice, kept playing, and his own
rem relaunches deleted both crash sessions before anyone could ask for them --
rem the stacks were lost permanently.  A per-day file has no rotation window to
rem fall out of.  The stem still separates solo from the MULTIPLAYER log, so a
rem player who crashes in MP and then runs solo still cannot destroy their own
rem crash evidence.
set BT_FE_SOLO=1
rem Clear any INHERITED BT_LOG: with it set the exe uses that path verbatim
rem and, with no BT_LOG_APPEND, TRUNCATES it -- the exact evidence loss this
rem change removes.  Empty forces the per-day self-named file + append.
set BT_LOG=
cd content
rem LAUNCH FORENSICS (#41): bracket the exe from outside, so a launch that dies
rem before it can log anything still leaves a record.  The exe APPENDS its own
rem block to lastrun_solo.txt at first breath (build, pid, local time, and WHICH
rem day-log it chose -- cmd cannot derive that name itself, %DATE% being
rem locale-ordered and full of '/').  So: delete the file here and do NOT
rem pre-write it -- its ABSENCE afterwards is what means "never reached
rem WinMain".  Writing a line here first would make that test always pass.
rem This REPLACES the old "if not exist solo.log" probe, which a per-day log
rem silently breaks: that file survives earlier launches, so the probe could
rem never fire and every healthy run would be reported as blocked.
rem No find/findstr probe -- MSYS shadows both (see the note above :btwait).

rem OUR GENERATION ONLY (2026-07-27).  The wait loop below used to hold
rem this window open for ANY btl4.exe on the machine -- a second client,
rem the operator's own pod, or an orphan left by a crash.  The window
rem then never printed the sign-off and looked hung: the reported "it
rem leaves the terminal open".  Snapshot the PIDs alive BEFORE we launch;
rem those belong to somebody else and must not hold us here.

rem ------------------------------------------------------------------
rem HANDOFF WAIT (2026-07-25).  The front end does NOT stay resident: it
rem CreateProcess()es the mission generation and ExitProcess(0)s itself
rem (btl4console.cpp).  So OUR child exiting means "the menu handed off",
rem NOT "the game closed" -- without this wait the window announced "The
rem game has exited" while the game was still loading, which reads as a
rem crash to a playtester.  Wait for the handed-off generation(s) to go.
rem
rem NO EXTERNAL TOOLS: `find`, `findstr` and `timeout` are all shadowed by
rem Git-Bash / MSYS / GnuWin32 builds of the same names when those are on
rem PATH (a dev box, or a player who installed git).  The MSYS `find` is
rem the Unix one and dies with "find: '/I': No such file or directory",
rem and GNU `timeout` takes different arguments.  So: parse tasklist with
rem a pure-cmd for/f, and call both helpers by ABSOLUTE System32 path.
rem A genuinely dead exe leaves no process and falls straight through, so
rem the #41 launch forensics above still work.  If tasklist is missing
rem entirely the loop degrades to reporting immediately -- the old
rem behaviour, never a hang.
