Gauges: the CLOSEOUT wave -- radar pips, Myomers dedup, attribute parity, ledger sweep (tasks #14-#17)
TASK #17 -- AUTHENTIC RADAR SYMBOLOGY (the cross-blip stand-in retired). The recon proved the 'missing pip raster set' never existed as BT game code: pips are the ENGINE's L4GaugeImage vector-stroke system (T0 source in tree, L4GAUIMA.cpp == FUN_0046f0c0 line-for-line), the 'pip table' is L4Warehouse:: gaugeImageBin keyed by Entity::resourceID, and BTL4.RES ships 110 type-0x12 shapes (every mech/vehicle/building/tree). The six btl4rdr stubs are wired to the real facilities: contacts draw their authentic model silhouettes with LOD selection, the target gets the binary's 4px-inflated box highlight, and player-name labels resolve via Mission::GetSmallNameBitmap (the prebuilt 64x16 egg rasters keyed by the player's bitmapindex). DECODED: the invented 'VideoObject' was Entity::owningPlayer all along (+0x190; nameID = playerBitmapIndex@0x1E0, target = BTPlayer::objectiveMech@0x284 -- new bridge BTPlayerObjectiveMechOf); the 'LabelledEntity' class is Landmark (cultural.h; label path dormant -- no landmark content ships, no runtime landmarkID writer). The L4GREND BT_DEV_GAUGES warehouse guard is removed (its AV had a different culprit, below); resource type 18 corrected to GaugeImageStream in decomp-reference (was mislabeled 'ModelList'). TASK #14 -- the Myomers ODR duplicate ELIMINATED: the powersub.cpp/hpp 'Myomers' (classID 0xBC3 -- actually Sensor) is retired whole; it duplicated ?DefaultData@Myomers@@ against the real class (dumpbin-verified) and /FORCE picked the winner by link order. The real Myomers (0xBC6) now chains PoweredSubsystem's handler set (ids 4-8) and publishes its SEVEN binary attributes (@00511588: SpeedEffect/Current/Recommended/Min/MaxSeekVoltage- Index/SeekVoltage/OutputVoltage) -- the old empty unchained index starved the Myomer engineering panel of every resolve. TASK #16 -- attribute parity: MechWeapon publishes the FULL binary table @0x511890 (11 entries; ids renumbered to binary truth -- the port aliases had squatted the binary's DistanceToTarget/TargetWithinRange ids; the streamed TriggerState 0x13 binding unchanged). Binary names resolved two TODO members: pipState -> estimatedReadyTime (attr 0x1A), and the EXT-model flag is the binary's RearFiring (0x1B). ThermalSight LightState published. HUD (offset conflicts) + missile-side tables (id encoding suspect) documented for a re-dump instead of publishing blind. THE CRASH THIS EXPOSED [T2, cdb-verified]: gotcha #11's dense-table gap is a LATENT AV, not a guaranteed one -- the old table's 0x0D..0x12 gap (task #5) survived on heap luck; the renumber reshuffled allocations and Find() AV'd on a garbage entryName in WeaponCluster's PercentDone resolve. Fixed with five named PAD entries (the mech.cpp attrPad idiom) + a static_assert locking the pad base to PoweredSubsystem::NextAttributeID. Gotcha #11 amended with the proof. TASK #15 -- stale-ledger sweep: GAUGE_COMPOSITE ('composite not yet built', Reservoir shadow, PlayerStatus/vehicleSubSystems 'remaining', valve-dormant- until-0xBD3, sensor guard, the superseded 'Heat MFD near-static' reframe -- all banner-corrected), gauges-hud frontmatter, L4VB16 + powersub comments. Verified live: 50/50 config attribute bindings resolve, 0 NULLs, 0 parse skips, mech spawns and simulates 31/31 subsystems, no cross-blip fallbacks, the pip cache fills through entity registration without the old guard.

gauges: all 6 cockpit MFD surfaces in a SEPARATE dev window (Milestone C)
Generalizes the single-'sec'-inset (Milestone B) into a full 6-surface compositor presented in its own top-level window -- the default under BT_DEV_GAUGES (BT_DEV_GAUGES_DOCK=1 docks it into the main window instead). A 960x384 window tiles all six pod instrument screens: Heat (COOLANT/BALANCE/ RES + condenser gauges), Comm (KILLS/DEATHS/SELECT TARGET), Mfd1/2/3 (DISPLAY/ PROGRAM/NEAREST frames), and the color radar (SCALE grid + dials + ARMOR DAMAGE). Main 800x600 3D view is un-occluded; default DEV un-regressed (TARGET DESTROYED after 8 hits, 0 crashes). Design (mapped by the mfd-multisurface-map workflow): - All 6 surfaces are bit-plane MASKS over the ONE shared SVGA16/pixelBuffer (sec=palette low byte; Heat=0x4000 UL, Mfd2=0x0400 UC, Comm=0x8000 UR, Mfd1=0x0100 LL, Mfd3=0x1000 LR), so the compositor reaches the SVGA16 once and extracts each by mask. No port-name reconcile needed on the dev path -- fetch the BT names directly; the RP aux* names only matter to the pod's own SVGA16::Update demux (a deferred pod-only fallback). - SVGA16::DrawDevSurface: two kernels -- palette-LUT (sec) + mono bit-plane-> tint ((word&mask)?tint:0). BTDrawGaugeSurfaces iterates a 6-entry table. - Separate window = one CreateAdditionalSwapChain on the existing device (no 2nd D3D device). BTGaugeWindowRenderAndPresent (after the main EndScene): SetRenderTarget -> SetDepthStencilSurface(NULL) -> Clear -> BeginScene -> 6 tiles -> EndScene -> restore -> swap->Present. - KEY BUG fixed: the main 800x600 depth surface stays bound when rendering to the 960x384 gauge backbuffer; a bound depth smaller than the RT is invalid -> all draws silently fail (clear color, no geometry). Unbind depth (Z is off), restore after. Pod SVGA16::Update/BuildWindows path byte-unchanged; all gated BT_DEV_GAUGES. Content is still the authored cockpit frames + base-table gauges -- the live MFD widgets need the BTL4MethodDescription reconstruction (this window is now the live viewer for that work).

gauges: secondary/radar MFD composites live on a dev box (Milestone B)
The pod's secondary/radar cockpit surface now renders as an inset in the 800x600 dev window under BT_DEV_GAUGES: radar/tactical grid, SPEED/HEADING/ MAGNETIC/PROP dials, and the color-coded ARMOR DAMAGE mech schematic -- real gauge content (nzSec=27247), composited from the shared CPU pixelBuffer. Composite pass (engine): SVGA16::DrawDevInset palette-expands the secondary plane into a MANAGED texture on the MAIN device and draws an XYZRHW inset quad; BTDrawGaugeInset() reaches the gauge renderer's 'sec' port and is called from DPLRenderer::ExecuteImplementation as the last draw before EndScene. Three reconstruction bugs fixed to get real content: 1. BTL4Application::MakeGaugeRenderer signature mismatch (REAL fix): the reconstructed no-arg override only HID the 2007-engine's widened 3-arg virtual MakeGaugeRenderer(int*,int*,int*), so the engine built a base L4GaugeRenderer whose ctor never parsed gauge/l4gauge.cfg -> empty symbol table -> "undefined label 'bhk1Init'" -> no ports/gauges. Matched the 3-arg signature so it truly overrides (args ignored; BT is fullscreen). Same bug class as the BTL4GaugeRenderer(false,NULL,NULL,NULL) ctor fix. 2. Parse hung on undefined primitives (gated dev accommodation): the BT gauge primitive table (BTL4MethodDescription) is still a stub, so an unknown primitive -> ReportParsingError -> Fail() -> a MODAL dialog freezing the parse. Under BT_DEV_GAUGES, skip the unknown primitive's params so labels register and the base "configure" primitive builds the ports. 3. Gauge widgets AV on NULL data bindings (gated): NumericDisplayScalar's NULL value_pointer -> GaugeConnectionDirectOf ctor deref (bind NULL->static zero); RankAndScore::Execute derefs unreconstructed game state (Gauge::GuardedExecute SEH wrapper -> Disable(True) on first fault). All guards gated on BT_DEV_GAUGES: default DEV un-regressed (TARGET DESTROYED, 0 crashes) and the pod path is byte-unchanged (strict Fail, no guards). Remaining (docs/GAUGE_COMPOSITE.md): the real gauge WIDGET reconstruction (BTL4MethodDescription method table + gauge->game-state data bindings), then Step 2 (RP<->BT MFD port-name reconcile) + Step 3 (2-window layout).

platform profile + gauge dev-composite (Milestone A: gauge renderer woken)
PLATFORM PROFILE (-platform pod|dev / BT_PLATFORM / run.cmd pod; default dev): an env-preset selector, NOT a code fork -- it picks which environment the existing video/gauge/input code reads. dev = single 800x600 window + keyboard (the working build); pod = RIO input + (on real hardware) the multi-surface gauges/MFDs, mirroring content/SETENV.BAT (the pod path -- FindBestAdapterIndices / SVGA16 -- is left untouched). The multi-surface needs the pod's 2 video cards, so -platform pod does NOT auto-enable L4GAUGE on a dev box (stays bootable, single-window). Also fixes a real engine bug: SVGA16::BuildWindows PostQuitMessage'd on a CreateDevice failure but fell through to a null-device deref (segfault) -- now breaks (inert on the pod). GAUGE DEV-COMPOSITE, Milestone A (option B; opt-in BT_DEV_GAUGES, default OFF): wake the (dormant) gauge renderer so its CPU-rastered pixelBuffer can later be composited into the dev window, WITHOUT touching the pod SVGA16 output path. SVGA16 does no per-surface D3D in this mode (a DevGaugeComposite() gate forces the no-surface path + short-circuits Update/Refresh). Waking the never-exercised gauge subsystem exposed 4 latent reconstruction bugs, each guarded: SVGA16::Update / Refresh (empty mSurfaces[]), LBE4ControlsManager::MakeLinkedLamp (NULL lamp manager), L4GaugeRenderer::NotifyOfNewInterestingEntity (garbage warehouse chain). It now boots STABLY; the gauge reconstruction is incomplete (shadowed lamp-manager + warehouse members) -- Milestone B (the composite pass) will reveal whether the content is real. See docs/GAUGE_COMPOSITE.md. Verified: default DEV un-regressed (combat DESTROYED, 0 crashes); pod path untouched; BT_DEV_GAUGES boots stable.

Initial commit: bt411 -- standalone Windows BattleTech (Tesla 4.10 port)
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.
