CydandClaude Fable 5 b772e716fe BT410 Phase 5.3.15: the electrical charge model -- real charge, closed feedback loop
The emitter charge cycle is now the authentic electrical model end to end.

- WIRE-VERIFIED resource fix: the Emitter block is graphicLength /
  dischargeTime / seekVoltage[5] (FRACTIONS of the generator's rated voltage,
  -1 sentinel) / seekVoltageRecommendedIndex. The old two-field guess read
  seekVoltage[3]=0.99 as "dischargeTime 0.99s" -- the true PPC discharge is
  0.2s, and the calibration reads seekV={6000,7000,8000,9900} x rated 10000,
  recommended gear 2: the documented curve exactly.
- Ctor calibration (@004bb120): energyTotal=(dmg+heat)x1e7; EC pins
  E=0.5V^2EC to energyTotal at the recommended gear; voltageScale calibrates
  the exponential charge to reach seekV[rec] in the authored RechargeRate
  seconds cold; damageFraction = the damage share.
- TrackSeekVoltage (@004ba838) + ChargeTimeScale (@004b0d50): the charge
  integrates from the generator through the heat-stretched time scale, and
  the I2R loss heats the GENERATOR -- verified GeneratorA at 477.9K charging
  its PPC (BT411 predicted ~+480K) while the avionics generator idles at 77.
  Hot generators charge slower: the heat/firepower feedback loop is CLOSED.
- Emitter::ComputeOutputVoltage override (now virtual, as in the binary
  vtable): dial = level/seekV[gear], 0.01 snap, over-1 clamp.
- Sub-stepped Loading (1/60s slices -- the BT411 weapon-brick fix) + the
  documented-divergence overcharge rescue. VERIFIED: the PPC loads at level
  ~7920, inside the binary's exact [7920,8080] snap window.
- FireWeapon energy algebra (@004bace8): damage/heat = energy shares x
  chargeRatio^2. VERIFIED dmg=11.78 / heat=1.079e8 at ratio 0.9906. The
  heatCost x 1e7 partial is retired -- heat now comes from the energy.

Zero Fail; jams/shutdowns regressions stay live under spam.

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 19941997; 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: text VGF/VMF (DIV-VIZ2 geometry/materials, both the 1995 VERSION 2:07 and 1996 02:05 dialects, with header SCALE support), binary BGF/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 — plus TGA and raw SVT textures, SPL splines, and SCN scene scripts.
  • audit.py — scans every .SCN on 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) into allscenes.json, resolving models/materials/textures across the drive and this repo's CONTENT dirs.
  • gallery_build.py — curates scenes from allscenes.json into the self-contained vwe-archive.html (via gallery_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.
