Reconstructs the binary's five-state LOOK machine (controls mapper tail,
part_013.c:396-459) as proper members/methods:
- MECHMPPR: LookState enum (None/Left/Right/Behind/Down) + lookState/
previousLookState (out of reserved[24] -> [22]). InterpretControls picks the
state from the look buttons each frame and on a CHANGE calls
Mech::CommitLookState. BT_FORCE_LOOK=<1..4> dev hook.
- MECH: authored look angles lookLeft/Right/Front/BackAngle (deg->rad from the
GameModel resource, guarded) + lookPitch/lookYaw + CommitLookState(int):
side looks yaw by the authored angle, look-behind = yaw pi + lookBackAngle
pitch, look-down = lookFrontAngle pitch, forward = identity. The per-frame
eyepoint compose in Simulate adds the live Torso elevation on top.
(reservedState [208] -> [202].)
- Deferred inside the commit (needs MechWeapon viewFireEnable/rearFiring):
per-view weapon fire re-arm + HUD pip group-mask flip.
Verified headlessly: model reads clean authored angles (L=60 R=-60 F=-10 B=0
deg -- ModelResource layout confirmed again); BT_FORCE_LOOK=3 fires ONE commit
([look] state=3 yaw=3.14159 pitch=0) and the per-frame compose holds eyeYaw=pi
with eyePitch=0.349066 (lookBackAngle + the 20deg-clamped elevation). Zero Fail.

Reconstructs Torso::TorsoSimulation (installed as the Torso's per-frame
Performance) and wires the torso aim into MechControlsMapper::InterpretControls,
so the control surface now covers aiming as well as locomotion.
- TORSO: analogElevationAxis/analogTwistAxis + SetAnalog* setters,
CurrentElevation()/GetHorizontalEnabled() accessors. TorsoSimulation slews
currentElevation += analogElevationAxis*baseElevationRate*dt clamped to the
vertical limits, and (if horizontalEnabled) currentTwist by the twist axis
clamped to the horizontal limits (authentic torso.cpp core; the skeleton-joint
application is deferred with the render wave).
- InterpretControls: routes stick pitch (stick_y, squared) into the torso
elevation every mode; Std/Vet route stick yaw into the twist. BT_FORCE_ELEV
dev hook.
Verified: BT_FORCE_ELEV=0.8 -> the elevation slews up and clamps at the authentic
verticalLimitTop = 0.349 rad = 20deg; neutral -> 0; zero Fail.
Deferred: skeleton-joint application (render wave), HUD free-aim slew,
look/eyepoint commit.

Trace confirms the MechControlsMapper (slot 0) publishes its control attributes
correctly: throttleAttr/controlModeAttr resolve to non-NULL pointers. So the
mapper's AttributeIndex works. The post-construction crash (GetAttributePointer
attr=0x13) is on a DIFFERENT object (EAX heap addr after the mapper) -- a streamed
watcher targeting another simulation, not the mapper. Localizing next. (BT_MECH_LOG
mapper trace retained.)

Reconstructed the MechControlsMapper attribute table (StickPosition..PilotArray,
IDs 3-0x16 chained from Subsystem::NextAttributeID==2) + the real members
(stickPosition ControlsJoystick, throttle/pedals/speed/turn Scalars, the look/
torso ControlsButtons, control/display/pilotArray ints) + AttributePointers[] +
AttributeIndex (chains Subsystem::AttributeIndex). Fixed the mapper hierarchy
statics in BTL4MPPR.CPP: L4/RIO/Thrustmaster ClassDerivations now chain correctly
(L4 defined first for static-init order) and all use MechControlsMapper::
AttributeIndex so the mapper instance publishes the control attributes the
streamed mappings bind to.
Mech still constructs (33 subsystems). The post-construction crash is UNCHANGED
(GetAttributePointer, attribute=0x13) -> so it's NOT the mapper; a streamed
AttributeWatcher (numeric ID 19) resolves on another object via GetSimulation.
Next diagnostic: which object/subsystemID the watcher targets. BT: 42 ok.

SetMappingSubsystem installs the control mapper into roster slot 0 (the streamed
control-mapping binds DirectMappings to subsystemID 0). MechControlsMapper ctor
constructs (per-frame InterpretControls deferred to phase 5). With RIO controls,
MakeViewpointEntity now builds the MechRIOMapper, installs it, and gets PAST the
controls check -- the mech constructs AND links as the viewpoint entity. Boot now
advances into the mission-startup / control-binding path (next: a real NULL-deref
there, deeper than the staged Fails). BT: 42 ok.

The reconstructed tree now produces a runnable binary with the authentic
1995 toolchain (BC4.52 / tlink32 / DPMI32):
- BTL4.CPP main TU reconstructed from the 4.11 Ghidra decomp (FUN_0040109c)
+ the 4.10 binary's own string pool + surviving RPL4TOOL.CPP house style;
probe_main.cpp scaffold retired (BTL4.NOTES.md documents every decoded call)
- L4NET.CPP staged: L4NetworkManager ctor/dtor + 10 vtable-pulled virtuals
(standalone-benign ones no-op, network ones Fail loudly) + NetNub client
globals (Net_Common_Ptr=NULL routes L4File to its plain-DOS path)
- build410.sh: libs now built in the AUTHENTIC makefile member order
(MUNGA.MAK / mungal4.mak / BT.MAK / BTL4.MAK). Order is load-bearing:
tlink emits static-init records in module pull order, and alphabetical
order booted into a null-vptr crash (IcomManager::ClassDerivations
constructing before parent NetworkClient::ClassDerivations). Also fixed
stage_link to the proven 32-bit lib set (SOSDBXC+SOSMBXC, no WATTCPLG)
- BOXTREE.HPP MemoryBlock unify, BTL4GRND notify stubs, remaining engine
backfills (audio/gauge/resource/stream TUs) that closed the deep ledger
Smoke test (DOSBox-X + 32RTM, copy of the pod BT tree, our exe swapped in):
BattleTech v4.10
BTL4Application::BTL4Application
l4net.cpp(22): L4NetworkManager -- l4net.cpp not yet reconstructed
Static init, main, -egg parse, BTL4.RES load (version 1.0.6 check passes),
ApplicationManager and the BTL4Application ctor chain all execute real
reconstructed code; boot halts at the first staged Fail() as designed.
Next brick: the real l4net.cpp body.
