The Missile entity family is reconstructed: Projectile : Mover gets a real make-path ctor; Missile hosts the Seeker + MissleThruster roster (the AUTHENTIC surviving SEEKER.HPP / MISTHRST.HPP interfaces -- the 1995 misspelling included) and flies the binary's guided integrator (@004bef78): age/lifetime, seeker re-lead with the decoded loft constants (200/50/300/0.1), thruster burn, steering (gain 4.0, deadband 1e-4), and the proximity fuse delivering the cluster damage ONCE with the launcher as inflictor. Live-verified end-to-end: LAUNCH -> flight telemetry (thruster visibly accelerating) -> DETONATE on the target ~0.9s out. OPEN: the first ~Missile off the death row completes, then the frame page-faults with EIP in the heap -- the first entity/subsystem teardown the reconstructed sim has ever run. The spawn path is therefore OPT-IN (BT_MISSILE_FLIGHT=1); default SRM delivery stays the 5.3.18a instant-hit cluster (verified 1:1, zero exceptions). Forensics + engine truths (SearchList crashes on non-directory ids; MakeMessages need FAMILY resource ids; explosionModelFile is a model-list INDEX) in MISSILE.NOTES.md. Also fixed on the way: the Subsystem NAME ctor left damageZone UNINITIALIZED (latent garbage for every name-built subsystem). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Scene Restorations
Modern re-renderings of the Division dVS scenes recovered from the Glaze developer drive (see HISTORY.md) and this repo's CONTENT tree. The originals ran on Division Ltd.'s pixel-pipeline hardware in 1994–1997; these tools parse the original data files and re-render them in WebGL, in the browser.
Viewers (open in any browser, fully self-contained)
vwe-archive.html— the Scene Archive: 26 curated scenes across all projects — Star Trek (Enterprise-D, Klingon flyby), Hull Pressure (sea demos, fish schools, sunken temple), BattleTech (polar map with mech lineup, Ravine and desert maps, stadium), Red Planet (Blade arena, the Mars canal milestone demo), and the Canyon/Maya-temple Division demos. Fly camera: drag to look, WASD to fly, R resets.trek-scn.html— the original standalone Star Trek restoration (TREK.SCN and KLNGVID.SCN).
Toolkit
divformats.py— parsers for every Division format found on the drive: textVGF/VMF(DIV-VIZ2 geometry/materials, both the 1995VERSION 2:07and 199602:05dialects, with header SCALE support), binaryBGF/BMF(DIV-BIZ2) — the binary block-stream layout was recovered from Division's own reader source (DPL3/BIZREAD.C, 1994), including all 14 vertex layouts, pmesh/tristrip/polygon connectivity, LOD blocks (newer writers nest patches inside LODs; the largest LOD is taken), and embedded materials/textures/ramps — plusTGAand rawSVTtextures,SPLsplines, andSCNscene scripts.audit.py— scans every.SCNon the drive and reports what fraction of its geometry survives, and in which format.extract_all.py— extracts every scene with ≥60 % of its geometry recoverable (108 of 241 on the drive; the rest reference lost models) intoallscenes.json, resolving models/materials/textures across the drive and this repo's CONTENT dirs.gallery_build.py— curates scenes fromallscenes.jsoninto the self-containedvwe-archive.html(viagallery_template.html).convert.py/viewer_template.html— the original single-scene Star Trek pipeline.

Fidelity notes
Faithful: vertices, triangles, material colors and shading ramps, textures,
fog and light parameters, spline motion, camera start positions. Approximated:
Division's rasterizer behavior, point sizes, timing (originals ran at 30 Hz).
Not simulated: event-driven SPECIALFX particles. A few dev scenes had camera
start positions inside geometry; those get overridden or auto-framed cameras
(see START_OVERRIDE in gallery_build.py). Scenes missing one or more
models from the drive say so in their header.
