All targets are net40 now (one binary set for XP SP3 through Win11), the launcher is a single userland app rather than Service+Agent, the wire is Newtonsoft JSON, the launcher package bundles the pod redists (incl. the .NET 4.0 installer), and releases live on Gitea (latest v4.11.4.3).

# TeslaSuite
|
|
|
|
The Tesla cockpit-pod software, in one repository:
|
|
|
|
| Folder | What it is | Target |
|
|
|--------|------------|--------|
|
|
| [`Console/`](Console/) | **TeslaConsole** — the operator console (WinForms) that configures and drives the pods. A decompiled reconstruction of the original `TeslaConsole.exe` (now the modernized 4.11.4.x line), with a differential test suite pinning it to the original 4.11.3.37076 baseline. | .NET Framework 4.0 |
|
|
| [`Launcher/`](Launcher/) | **TeslaLauncher** — the pod-side launcher: ONE userland tray app (RPC listener + app launcher). A clean rewrite of the original; the old Service+Agent split (a Session 0 workaround) is gone. | .NET Framework 4.0 |
|
|
| [`Contract/`](Contract/) | **Tesla.Contract** — the shared Console↔Launcher RPC contract: wire types, the client, and the framed-JSON protocol. Emits assembly `TeslaConsoleLaunchLib`. | .NET Framework 4.0 |
|
|
| [`SecureConfig/`](SecureConfig/) | **Tesla.SecureConfig** — the first-boot pod provisioning protocol (UDP beacons, OFB crypto, RSA key exchange). Emits assembly `TeslaSecureConfiguration`. | .NET Framework 4.0 |
|
|
| [`vPOD/`](vPOD/) | **vPOD** — a virtual pod for testing the consoles without cockpit hardware: impersonates both the game client (Munga, TCP 1501) and the pod's TeslaLauncher (provisioning + Site Management / Install Product on TCP 53290). | .NET Framework 4.0 |
|
|
|
|
Everything targets **net40** on purpose (the XP11 port, v4.11.4.3): it is the newest
|
|
.NET Framework that installs on Windows XP SP3, and net40 assemblies run in-place on
|
|
the 4.8 runtime that ships in Windows 10/11 — so the same binaries cover the original
|
|
XP-era cockpit PCs and modern hardware. That rules out net45+ APIs
|
|
(`System.Text.Json`, `ZipFile`, async/await, ...); JSON is Newtonsoft, zip extraction
|
|
is the launcher's own [`MiniZip.cs`](Launcher/MiniZip.cs).
|
|
|
|
The console and launcher talk over **TCP 53290** using **length-prefixed JSON
|
|
frames over an OFB-encrypted stream** ([`Contract/PodRpcProtocol.cs`](Contract/PodRpcProtocol.cs)),
|
|
dispatched by method name. The wire contract lives in one source project
|
|
([`Contract/`](Contract/)) referenced by both sides — a single source of truth, no
|
|
duplication or hand-syncing.
|
|
|
|
> **Note:** Red Planet game *control* uses a separate protocol (Munga, TCP 1501) via the
|
|
> vendored `Munga Net.dll` — not the RPC channel above. The game itself is C++ and lives
|
|
> in its own repo (`gitea.mysticmachines.com/VWE/RP411.git`).
|
|
|
|
## Building
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
dotnet build TeslaSuite.sln -c Release
|
|
dotnet test Console/tests/TeslaConsole.DiffTests # differential + protocol + crypto guards
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Pod deployment:** [`Launcher/build.bat`](Launcher/build.bat) publishes the
|
|
framework-dependent net40 package into `Launcher/dist/` — the launcher itself is tiny,
|
|
but the package bundles the pod redists (DirectX June 2010, OpenAL, UltraVNC, and
|
|
`dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe` for XP-era pods that don't have .NET 4.0 yet).
|
|
[`Launcher/install.bat`](Launcher/install.bat) deploys it on a cockpit PC — dual-OS
|
|
(XP SP3 and Win10/11 code paths): auto-login, Run-key registration for the single
|
|
launcher binary, firewall + box hardening. The operator console packages
|
|
the same way: [`Console/build-package.bat`](Console/build-package.bat) → `Console/dist/`,
|
|
installed with [`Console/install.bat`](Console/install.bat). vPOD packages with
|
|
[`vPOD/pack.ps1`](vPOD/pack.ps1) → `vPOD/dist/vPOD.zip`, deployable to a pod via the
|
|
console's Install Product (or run directly on any machine).
|
|
|
|
Release packages for all three are attached to the
|
|
[Gitea releases](https://gitea.mysticmachines.com/VWE/TeslaSuite/releases)
|
|
(latest: **v4.11.4.3**).
|
|
|
|
## Layout notes
|
|
|
|
- `Console/original/TeslaConsole.exe` — the **4.11.3.37076** reference baseline the
|
|
differential tests compare against. Keep it.
|
|
- `Console/lib/*.dll` — the remaining vendored binary dependencies (`Munga Net`,
|
|
`BitmapLibrary`, `WeifenLuo` docking). The original `TeslaConsoleLaunchLib.dll` and
|
|
`TeslaSecureConfiguration.dll` are also kept here, but **only as byte-compatibility test
|
|
baselines** — both are now built from source (`Contract/`, `SecureConfig/`).
|
|
- `Console/RedPlanet/Apps.xml` — the data-driven product catalog (see the console's
|
|
Site Management → Add Product / Register Product on Pods).
|
|
|
|
## History
|
|
|
|
The system was modernized in 2026: the duplicated wire contract was extracted to a single
|
|
source project, `BinaryFormatter` (an RCE sink, and what pinned the launcher to an old
|
|
runtime) was replaced with the framed-JSON protocol, and the launcher was rebuilt — briefly
|
|
on net8/x64, then on net48, then (the **XP11** port, v4.11.4.3) the whole suite settled on
|
|
**net40** so one set of binaries runs on the original Windows XP SP3 cockpit hardware and
|
|
on Windows 10/11 alike. XP11 also merged the launcher's Service+Agent pair — a workaround
|
|
for Vista+ Session 0 isolation that XP never needed — back into a single userland app, and
|
|
moved the console's `.resx` BinaryFormatter bitmaps to raw embedded images (their runtime
|
|
reader doesn't exist on net40). The whole console↔pod path (provisioning, install, launch)
|
|
is validated on real pods; the net40 build is bench-validated on Win11's 4.8 runtime (real
|
|
XP SP3 hardware still pending).
