CydandClaude Fable 5 63312e07f9 source410: literal 4.10 source reconstruction + BC++ 4.52 fleet toolchain archived
- BORLAND/: Borland C++ 4.52 (chosen over 4.5 by byte-match: CODE/RP/CW32.LIB
  is identical to 4.52's install lib). BCC32/TLINK32/TLIB/MAKE run natively on
  Win11; CODE/BT/OPT.MAK is the shipped BTL4OPT.EXE's exact flag recipe
  (extender = Borland PowerPack DPMI32, not Phar Lap TNT).
- restoration/source410/: the literal 1995-form reconstruction of the missing
  BT game source (never mixed into CODE/). Round 1-3 state:
  * 6 of 10 surviving original TUs COMPILE CLEAN under the period toolchain
    (BTMSSN, BTCNSL, BTSCNRL, BTTEAM, BTL4MODE, BTL4ARND) - first builds
    since 1996.
  * BT_L4/BTL4APP.CPP pilot reconstruction: 12/12 functions, Fail() lands on
    its binary-recorded line 400 exactly.
  * BT/BTCNSL.HPP: console wire IDs recovered from the binary's ctors
    (Killed=9, Damaged=10, ScoreUpdate=13, DeathWithoutHonor=15 [T1];
    TeamScore=12 flagged [T4]).
  * MUNGA/: 8 engine-header backfills back-dated from the BT412 WinTesla tree
    (VDATA numbering decomp-verified; AUDREND's OpenAL-era virtual removed -
    the period compiler is the drift detector).
  * Tooling: backdate.py (WinTesla->1995 header transform), compile410.sh
    (per-TU verification sweep under authentic OPT.MAK flags).
  * README: corrected roadmap - MECH.HPP is the capstone grown with the mech
    TU reconstructions; BTREG.CPP green = the header-family milestone.

VDATA.HPP — reconstruction notes (2026-07-19)

The first ENGINE-side backfill (the header plug.hpp includes; lost from both 1995 trees — VDATA.CPP survives in CODE/RP/MUNGA, only the .HPP was missing).

Basis: back-dated from C:\VWE\BT412\engine\MUNGA\VDATA.h (the drifted WinTesla-era copy). Transformations: #pragma once → the VDATA_HPP guard PLUG.HPP expects (PLUG.HPP:30 names it); #include "memstrm.h" → guarded <memstrm.hpp> (survives in CODE/RP/MUNGA); banner cloned from the surviving VDATA.CPP banner ("vdata.cc / Connection Library"); body/indentation restyled to the 1995 house pattern. Content otherwise byte-for-byte the WinTesla enum + class.

Validation [T1]:

  • Method set matches the surviving VDATA.CPP exactly (2 ctors, dtor, TestInstance, BuildFromPage, static GetClassID(CString&)).
  • ClassID numbering matches every decomp-known constant: TrivialSubsystemClassID=0xF, CameraShipClassID=0x45, MechClassID=0xBB9, MechSubsystemClassID=0xBBC region, L4ApplicationClassID=1003 — i.e. the WinTesla file preserved 1995 numbering.
  • MemoryStream_Read/Write inline pair is a verified period idiom (used across 1995 headers).
  • Compile-proven: with this one backfill, the ORIGINAL BTL4MODE.CPP and BTMSSN.CPP compile CLEAN under BC++ 4.52 with the authentic OPT.MAK flags (btl4mode.obj 3,751 bytes).

Uncertainty [T4]: whether the ND (4000) / Tools (60000) / W4 (70000) enum sections and any tail entries postdate 4.10 — appended IDs don't shift earlier values, so all decomp-verified constants are unaffected either way.
