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>

# MISSILE.CPP / SEEKER.CPP / MISTHRST.CPP / PROJTILE.CPP — the flying rounds
|
|
|
|
**Status: PARTIAL (5.3.18) — the guided flight loop is LIVE-VERIFIED through
|
|
DETONATE (spawn → fly → home → proximity fuse → cluster damage lands once),
|
|
but the death-row TEARDOWN page-faults, so the spawn path is opt-in
|
|
(`BT_MISSILE_FLIGHT=1`); the default delivery remains the 5.3.18a instant-hit
|
|
cluster message.**
|
|
|
|
## Interfaces
|
|
|
|
- `SEEKER.HPP` + `MISTHRST.HPP` are AUTHENTIC survivors (CODE/BT/BT/). The
|
|
Subsystem base chain is the NAME ctor (binary FUN_0041c52c) with the
|
|
shipped strings "Seeker" @00512e1e and **"MissleThruster"** @00512e25 (the
|
|
1995 misspelling is authentic — keep it).
|
|
- `MISSILE.HPP` / `PROJTILE.HPP` are STAGED (only MISSILE.TCP / PROJTILE.TCP
|
|
survive). Binary chain: Entity → Projectile (@004be1bc, 0x340) → Missile
|
|
(@004bf5b4, vtable @00512f2c, 0x368). Our staged chain matches:
|
|
Projectile : Mover (make-message path), Missile : Projectile.
|
|
|
|
## What is verified live (BT_MISSILE_FLIGHT=1 fight run)
|
|
|
|
ONE cluster Missile entity per SRM salvo, spawned through the real Mover make
|
|
machinery mid-weapon-sim (the Entity ctor self-registers — the engine
|
|
tolerates mid-roster-walk creation, as the binary did); flight telemetry
|
|
shows thruster acceleration (150→153 u/s) and closing range; the proximity
|
|
fuse (rangeToTarget <= 20u staged) delivers `damageData` (salvo-split amount,
|
|
burstCount=missileCount) exactly once via TakeDamageMessage with the LAUNCHER
|
|
as inflictor; lifetime fizzle retires unexploded rounds. Guidance constants
|
|
are binary-decoded (steer deadband 1e-4, turn gain 4.0, seeker loft
|
|
200/50/300/0.1 — .rdata @004bec18/@004bf594).
|
|
|
|
## THE OPEN CRASH (the 5.3.18 frontier)
|
|
|
|
After the first detonated round's `~Missile` completes (dtor log proves it),
|
|
the frame page-faults with EIP IN THE HEAP (0x9FEAEF-style) — something
|
|
calls through freed missile memory or a base-dtor releases a structure
|
|
wrongly. The Seeker/MissileThruster are the FIRST SUBSYSTEMS and the Missile
|
|
the FIRST ENTITY ever DESTROYED in the reconstructed sim — the whole
|
|
~Entity/~Mover/~Subsystem teardown path is virgin. Checked already: NOT
|
|
AlwaysExecute (flag-only), NOT interestZoneID (message base NULLs it), NOT
|
|
the subsystemArray idiom (matches ~Entity's expectations exactly), Sensor
|
|
holds no pointers. Latent bug FIXED on the way: the Subsystem NAME ctor left
|
|
`damageZone` UNINITIALIZED (the resource ctor NULLs it) — garbage for every
|
|
name-built subsystem. Next suspects: ~Mover's collision/interest release
|
|
(collisionLists array delete), the executive's per-frame entity chain vs
|
|
mid-frame delete (FryDeathRow one-per-frame), the host-manager update-record
|
|
writer touching a condemned entity.
|
|
|
|
## Engine truths learned (load-bearing)
|
|
|
|
- `ResourceFile::SearchList(id, type)` CRASHES (@0x414938) when `id` is not
|
|
in the top-level directory — it derefs its inner FindResourceDescription
|
|
unconditionally. `FindResourceDescription(int)` is the NULL-safe probe.
|
|
- Resource IDs in MakeMessages must be FAMILY ids: the Mover base ctor runs
|
|
its own `SearchList(resourceID, GameModelResourceType)`, and member
|
|
resources resolve only through their family head.
|
|
- The streamed `explosionModelFile` is a small INDEX (SRM6 reads 17), a
|
|
model-list indirection like voltageSourceIndex/ammoBinIndex — decoding it
|
|
into the real projectile family is the projectile-model brick. Until then
|
|
the round spawns on the OWNER's family (GameModel member provably present;
|
|
our staged flight reads none of the Mover mass/drag).
|
|
|
|
## Staged / deferred
|
|
|
|
- Muzzle = mech origin; the authored MuzzleVelocity arc through the MOUNT
|
|
segment world frame (fire builder @0x4bcc60:8758-64, z NEGATED + mech
|
|
velocity) is the muzzle wave.
|
|
- Flight envelope defaults (lifetime 10s, burn 2s @120 u/s², launch 150 u/s,
|
|
fuse 20u) pending the missile GameModel record decode (model +0x44
|
|
lifetime, +0x48 thrust, +0x50 detonation mode).
|
|
- Cluster SPLASH + explosion entity (ClassID 0x5C @004be078), world-geometry
|
|
collision (@0042291c), target-velocity intercept lead, Missile
|
|
WriteUpdateRecord (tag 0x78) for MP replication.
