The 'cameras\ directory missing, ask Nick' entry (a03b16f, same day)
was WRONG: the file path is only the DEV OVERRIDE (the RP-style loose
.CAM files -- present for RP in the nick-games 410SRC archive, which
prompted the re-check). The shipped binary falls back to a BTL4.RES
resource TYPE 27 (0x1b) named after the map (FUN_0042be3c probe ->
FUN_0042c078 res loader; per-cam binary records, parsers @0042ad54/
@0042b9f8) -- and our res has ALL 8 maps' networks (arena1 = 62
cameras; cavern/dbase/grass ~57KB each). First arena1 record parses
clean (pos+quat, type 2).
The spectator/broadcast seat needs no external data: remaining work is
the type-27 loader in the WinTesla CAMMGR (file flavor only today),
the stubbed ranking-window draw, and a camera-vehicle boot test.
