The damaged-copy twist path (@004b65f8 + @004b6510), reconstructed from the raw decomp rather than the BT411 donor -- which drifted twice: its ease aged by lastUpdate (+0x14) where the binary reads lastPerformance (+0x10), and it calls the joint-write helper from the copy sim where 1995 does not (port-era addition, dropped). The extrapolator predicts targetTwist = twistAtUpdate + twistRate * elapsed on two time bases (settled = this frame's window, slewing = the command window), and the copy sim snaps when settled or eases by the remaining-time form dt/((stamp - now) + dt) -- landing exactly when the clock reaches the command stamp. The decomp's DAT_0052140c divide is just Time::operator- inlined; no hand conversion existed. Members carved from the dynamicsState reserve (16->12): targetTwist @0x218, twistAtUpdate @0x21C, twistRate @0x238, lastUpdateTime @0x254. The ctor now registers the copy Performance on replicants (PTR @00510c1c); [T2] the gate mirrors the binary's simulationFlags 0xC/0x100 pair with the instance test, same as the whole watcher family, until the stream builders that seed those bits are reconstructed. Feeders (Read/WriteUpdateRecord) stay staged -- zero-init eases a copy to centre, correct-by-vacuity in single-pod. Stubs: 16 across 10 files. Regression: clean mission soak on the rig (no faults, wheel turning, pacing steady). 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.
