Device raycast/scene parser (vpxlog.cpp):
- Connection lists: accumulate the WHOLE batch before slicing (records
straddling burst boundaries were dropped + misaligned the rest), do
not wipe polys per batch header (floor ships tri batch + quad batch;
only the last survived), keep every loop index (closing-dup drop
halved each quad). Together these were the "holey ground" the
range-finder fell through.
- Own-mech exclusion by minimum pick range (15) instead of the
dcs_parent ancestry walk: sibling link edges made the FLOOR and SKY
read as the player's subtree, so ground/sky aims never resolved.
Measured: own barrels/flash live within ~8 of the eye; sky/ground
are real pickable entities (sky.mod, afloor) -- firing into them
fires and misses, per the operator's arcade experience.
EMU8000 core (emu8k.cpp): clamp the oscillator output after cubic
interpolation. Crest overshoot on UNFILTERED voices overflowed int32
in the volume multiply and wrapped the crest negative for 1-3 samples
-- the speech/effects crackle (recorded signature: +0.7 flipping to
-0.7 at crests, random phase vs the chunk grid). Filter paths already
clamped; the bypass path now matches.
