The linker map named the faulting function: the crash address minus the CODE base (0x410000) looked up in btl4opt.map's Publics-by-Value landed inside AudioStateWatcher::AudioStateWatcher +0x2D. AudioStateWatcher is AudioWatcherOf<StateIndicator> and its ctor immediately runs Cast_Object(StateIndicator*, attributePointer)->AddAudioWatcher(this). So every authored *State name must be published as a StateIndicator -- AlarmIndicator counts, it derives from one -- and pointing one at a plain int sends that member call through garbage. That explains both earlier failures: the AlarmIndicator attempt was the right type but was tested with other bugs still in the batch, and the plain-int attempt was simply the wrong type and crashed further along. Published as state objects: Reservoir/ReservoirState -> reservoirAlarm, Generator/GeneratorState -> stateAlarm, plus new StateIndicator members for Condenser/CondenserState and Torso/MotionState. StateIndicator has no Initialize(); the default ctor suffices because the watcher only needs the object to exist. Verified on the pod rig: no crash, ladder advanced to ReportLeak. Technique worth keeping: on an extender fault, subtract 0x410000 from the dumped address and look it up in btl4opt.map -- it names the engine function, and for this family of work that names the watcher class and hence the required member type.

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.
