The playtest falsified the first revival: the truck vanished with no wreck.
Cause: the rubble (and any additional cultural object) was built as a
DPLStaticChildRenderable / DCSInstanceRenderable added at TOP LEVEL of
mRenderables -- those classes read the bare matrix stack (identity at top
level), so the rubble drew at the WORLD ORIGIN, not at the icon (and before
the consolidation exclusion it was consolidated there permanently).
Fix: every cultural video object (intact AND rubble) is a RootRenderable
(Static) -- placed from myEntity->localToWorld, registered into the frame
pass lists by the same per-frame Execute path the intact model draws
through. The revived state switch then genuinely swaps them.
PIXEL-VERIFIED via BT_SHOT screenshot timeline (full-speed BT_GOTO ram,
ARENA1 MECHMOVR truck): intact truck visible -> ram/death -> the MECHMD
wreck debris renders scattered at the truck's exact spot, intact model
gone, mech walks the footprint. ARENA1 census: 57 rubble-typed objects
across the 124 icons (MECHMD/bpip1d/ab07d_FR...).
NOT yet closed (open on #3): (a) the wreck's scorch base quad draws as an
opaque BLACK rectangle (13 plain ops on MECHMD -- material/ramp resolve,
not a blend flag); (b) the death explosion (psfx 1008) still not visibly
confirmed; (c) the authored burning-fire state visual unreconstructed.
Diag added: [cultobj] census (BT_CULT_LOG) -- per-object file/type/op flags.
