The player-experience system now gates the entire heat/jam economy, verified in BOTH directions with a one-token egg edit (TESTNOV.EGG, experience=novice): NOVICE = 212 fire cycles all pinned at T=77, zero jams, zero shutdowns (the heat model authentically absent); EXPERT = the full economy (duty cycles, 119 shutdowns + 2 authentic jams under forced fire). Zero Fail in both. - BTPLAYER: the flag block renamed to its TRUE semantics (simLive @0x25c, heatModelOn @0x260 -- the FUN_004ad7d4 master switch, advancedDamageOn pair, levelFlag26c/270, experienceLevel); the ctor rows were already binary-accurate (nov 0000 / std 1011 / vet 1111 / exp 1101); accessors + [exp] sentinel. - HeatSink::HeatModelActive() + ProjectileWeapon::LiveFireEnabled(): owner mech -> Entity::GetPlayerLink() -> the BTPlayer flags, NULL-permissive. Gates: both HeatSinkSimulation phases, every weapon fire-heat dump, and CheckForJam is now the AUTHENTIC form (LiveFireEnabled + heatLoad<=0 early-outs + the minJamChance floor; the interim heat-degraded gate retired). - THE LOAD-BEARING FIX: Mech ctor SetValidFlag(). Every 1995 entity ctor tail marks itself valid; ours didn't -- Entity::Dispatch routes messages to an INVALID entity into the deferred event queue, so the PlayerLink bind (and every directly-dispatched mech message) silently never landed and the gates read a NULL player forever. - THE COOLANT SYSTEM (authentic bodies, byte-verified constants: HeatLoadScale 0.002 -> heatLoad now in [0,1]; equalize eps 1e-4; draw floor/ON 0.0025/0.003): UpdateCoolant (damage-scaled draw -- an undamaged mech leaks nothing), BalanceCoolant (full clamp chain from ConductHeat), DrawCoolant base=0 with the RESERVOIR override as THE SOURCE; Reservoir reconstructed (capacity overlays thermalCapacity, CoolantSimulation + the full InjectCoolant flush distribution, BT_FORCE_FLUSH dev hook); Condenser RefrigerationSimulation (massScale = (1-damage)*refrigerationFactor >= 1 -- the heat pump that chills the bank; valveState inits 1; digit-suffix number fix). Deferred: AggregateHeatSink family, cockpit-button handlers (MoveValve/ToggleCooling/InjectCoolant), TrackSeekVoltage charge model. Research driven by a 4-agent workflow dossier over the BT411 RE (verbatim bodies for every function above + the egg experience plumbing). 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.
