DPLRenderer::LoadMissionImplementation (L4VIDEO.CPP:6007) is not empty: it
calls DPLReadEnvironment (which opens L4DPLCFG/btdpl.ini and sets the dPL
object/material/texmap paths from the objectpath= entries) and then
LoadNameBitmaps. The 'bring-up no-op' installed earlier therefore did not do
nothing -- it REPLACED that, so the loader never learned where the art lives
and every dpl_LoadObject returned NULL.
I justified that no-op by pointing at VideoRenderer's bare Tell and
GaugeRenderer's identical one; neither is our base. Check the ACTUAL base
before overriding in this engine and chain it unless there is a reason not
to. DPLReadEnvironment is private to DPLRenderer, so chaining is the only
way a game renderer can reach it at all.
before: 40x 'couldn't load object', 'NULL instance', run ends,
wire ~24 bytes/sec
after: 0 failures, run continues, wire ~12 KB/s (1.17MB climbing),
bridge live at 88fps
Proved it was ours and not the rig by running the SHIPPED exe under the same
conf: it loaded every object. That A/B is cheap and is the right first move
whenever the pod misbehaves.
Still black: the bridge camera sits at its default (0,10,0), so the wire
carries state and object loads rather than a populated scene. The mech and
arena entities still need MakeEntityRenderables bodies.
Rig improvements, both from the user: nosound is fine on the SLOW clock (it
is the FAST SOS clock that needs the AWE32), which saves ~4 min and ~300MB of
audio taps per run; and serial3=file + '> COM3' gives a live unbuffered log,
so a run that does NOT crash is finally readable.
