# DMGTABLE.CPP — the cylinder hit-location table

**Status: RECONSTRUCTED (5.3.23) — loads the authentic type-29 streams and
resolves unaimed hits live (fight-verified).**

No 1995 header survives; class names (DamageLookupTable / PieSlice /
DamageZonePercentTable) follow the BT411 reversal, which byte-verified the
stream against the real .RES (18 tables). Binary anatomy: TABLE ctor
@0049ea48 (vtable @0050bd84) → ROW @0049e740 (@0050bd90) → CELL @0049deb0
(@0050bd9c); lookup @0049eb54 (height→row, atan2 angle) + @0049e678
(rotate-with-torso, angle→cell) + @0049de14 (the cumulative-distribution
roll); glue @0049ed0c. The binary's refcounted keyed lists are replaced by
direct-indexed arrays (the float key (i+1)·2π/count ≡ cells[i]).

Stream (type 29, found by the mech's DamageZoneStream member NAME):
`Table{i32 rows; Row[]} Row{i32 rotateWithTorso; i32 cells; Cell[]}
Cell{i32 nameLen; chars; NUL; i32 entries; {f32 cumThreshold; i32 zone}[]}`.

Wiring: the Mech ctor Pass-3 tail loads it (mech+0x444, kept locked);
Mech::TakeDamageMessageHandler resolves `invalidDamageZone` hits through it
before chaining the base. The MISSILE fuse is the authentic unaimed
producer: zone −1 + the round's world position as impactPoint (the
ENTITY3.HPP warning: "damage zones are only valid via reticle based
weapons"); victims without a table keep the interim random pick.

Verified (bhk1, 7 rows): flat-flying SRMs strike low → row 0 → feet/leg
zones, side-correct by impact angle (+x hits right, −x left), identical
geometry spread across the cell's distribution by the roll. Zero faults.

STAGED: mech cylinder height = 10.0 constant (binary reads the collision
cylinder mech+0x2ec→+0xc — not reconstructed); torso twist feeds
rotate-with-torso rows via Mech::CurrentTorsoTwist (Torso::CurrentTwist).
