Cracks the DIV-BIZ2 binary format (BGF/BMF) using Division's own
reader source (DPL3/BIZREAD.C) as reference: block stream, 14 vertex
layouts, pmesh/strip connectivity, LOD nesting, embedded materials.
Adds SVT raw-texture decoding, 1995-dialect VGF support (implicit
CONNECTION_LIST, header SCALE), and a whole-drive scene audit.
108 of 241 scenes on the Glaze drive are recoverable; 26 are curated
into restoration/vwe-archive.html, a self-contained WebGL gallery:
Star Trek, Hull Pressure, BattleTech (incl. the polar-map mech
lineup), Red Planet's Mars-canal raceway, and the Canyon demos.

Parses the DIV-VIZ2 formats (VGF geometry, VMF materials, TGA
textures, SPL splines, SCN scenes) from the STDAVE directory of the
Glaze drive and re-renders VWE's unreleased 1996 Star Trek pod
scenes in a self-contained WebGL page: the Enterprise-D among
drifting starfields (TREK.SCN) and the Klingon flyby (KLNGVID.SCN).

Records the contents of the recovered VWE developer hard drive
(git-ignored sda4/): pod lab infrastructure, Division renderer
source with i860/Pixel-Planes 5 code, runnable game builds, and
unreleased projects (Star Trek prototype, Hull Pressure, Renegade
Legion, and the Starship Troopers pitch that became DisneyQuest's
Invasion!). Includes a source-completeness analysis showing the
engine libraries are rebuildable but most game-logic sources are
absent from this release cut.

Archival snapshot of the Virtual World Entertainment Tesla cockpit
software, 1994-1996: MUNGA engine and L4 pod layer source (Borland
C++ 5.0), BT/RP game code, and game content (models, audio, maps,
gauges, Division renderer data). Includes third-party libraries:
Division dVS/DPL graphics, HMI SOS audio, WATTCP networking.
Files are preserved byte-for-byte (.gitattributes disables all
line-ending conversion). README.md documents the layout, target
hardware, and toolchain.
