Supersedes RC1 (a0331e78), which predates everything in sections 12-17 of the test checklist. Binaries and content -------------------- * MW4.exe / MW4pro.exe rebuilt from CoreTech GameOS + MW4Application. Carries the display work that landed after the RC1 build: -tident, the full gos-displays.txt start-up trace with the CLASH and CTCL-type reports, the HSH_EnterFullScreen2 panel re-entry fix, the -tmr cameraship ladder, and the updated -help text. * Launcher / autoconfig / mw4print / ctcls / MissionLang / ScriptStrings relinked in the same pass. * props.mw4 + props.dep fully repacked (deleted first, not incremental), so the 23-entry time list, the restored 7-minute default and the V5.1.0b2 console title are actually in the package rather than only in the source tree. * mw4-help.txt regenerated from the new exe; the diff is the proof the built binary carries the documentation changes. Documentation, renamed to RC2 ----------------------------- * RELEASE-NOTES-5.1.0b_RC1.{md,html} -> ..._RC2.{md,html}, both hand-maintained in step, ASCII + CRLF so they open correctly in Notepad on a pod. - New "Already testing RC1?" block at the top. RC1's notes already described -tident and the CLASH report, but the RC1 BINARY does not contain them, so anyone comparing the two needed that stated explicitly. - Time limits corrected to 23 entries (1-15, 20, 25, 30, 45, 60, 120, 180, 240) with the 7-minute default restoration called out. - New section on the cameraship Map/Armor screen: background but no overlays is -ctcltype 2 on a cameraship, not a video card. Includes the "CTCL type =" log line and -tmr 3 as the follow-up check. - -fps description corrected: the per-second column is a 5% low and the 1% / 0.1% lows are in the session summary. The old text described behaviour that had already been changed. - Switch table gained -tmr; known issues gained stereo-only audio and the single-monitor -tident caveat; upgrade checklist now names V5.1.0b2. * testing-checklist-5.1.0b1.txt -> testing-checklist-5.1.0b_RC2.txt, with a build-requirements header and new sections 12-17 covering -tident, the display trace (including a deliberate -tmon clash to exercise the CLASH report), the panel re-entry fix, cameraship/-tmr, 240-minute missions and a -help verification pass. * OPTIONS-INI.md: TimeList_Index is documented as no longer driving the console lobby default (the script uses a literal since the list was expanded) while TimeList_Value remains live; added a table of the files the game writes next to MW4.exe. Also repaired the CP949/CP1252 damage in that file - it carried literal 0xA1 0xE6 arrows, 0x97 em dashes and ~20 '?' characters where dashes had been lost. Now pure ASCII. * README.md points at the RC2 notes. Source ------ MW4Application.cpp help text: -fps now matches what gos-fps.txt actually prints, and -ctcltype states that a cameraship must use 3 and what goes wrong when it does not. Audited all 80 switches parsed in the file against the help array - none missing, and no game-facing switch is parsed anywhere else. Deployment housekeeping ----------------------- * dgVoodoo.conf: ScalingMode = stretched_ar, which is the setting the release notes require and which fails SILENTLY when wrong. FPSLimit was left at 20 from bench testing and would have shipped a 20 fps cap to every Win10/11 pod - raised to 60. * banner.txt reset from a test string to the shipped placeholder. * Removed two stray screen000*.bmp captures and the duplicate dbstruct.txt (db_schema.sql is the current name, per b4089291). * .gitignore: gos-displays.txt and gos-fps.txt are truncated on every launch and are per-machine, so they are no longer mirrored. Not yet done: multi-monitor pod testing of this binary. -tident, the re-entry fix and -tmr have not been exercised on real MFD hardware - that is what the new checklist sections are for.

3 people	a0331e78d2	Compiled Build 5.1.0b_RC1 Files ... Deployed game tree copied back from the Windows build machine, containing the compiled 5.1.0b_RC1 binaries and every asset the deploy produces. 846 files: 21 added, 825 modified. Freshly built binaries: MW4.exe, Launcher.exe, autoconfig.exe, ctcls.dll, MissionLang.dll, ScriptStrings.dll, Language.dll and the rest of the runtime DLL set, carrying everything merged this cycle -- the 16-pilots-plus-cameraship launch fix, the MFD mode 4 split-display support and its stutter fix, -tmon, -tcoop, -fps, -tbaud, the Load File console lobby feature, configurable Rookie Mission, and the English Language.dll build. New in the deployment: - set-appcompat.bat / set-appcompat.ps1 -- the one-click AppCompat shim installer, now shipped by deploy-mw4.ps1 so any copy of an install can repair its own registration (the layer is keyed on the exe's full path). - libmysql.dll -- required by mw4print 2.0's MySQL export, late-bound at runtime. - Four hsh art files restored from 5.0.7D: MFD/assassin2.bmp, Mechs/battlemaster iic.bmp, Mechs/behemoth ii.bmp, Mechs/mad cat mkii.bmp. - banner.txt, dbstruct.txt -- mw4print banner text and the exported DB structure reference. dgVoodoo2 is included as MW4/dgvoodoo2_files/ -- deliberately in a subfolder and NOT alongside the executable. Nothing loads from there, so the files are available for a pod owner to install on Windows 10/11 without being active by default. This keeps XP pods safe: they use native DirectDraw, and having dgVoodoo2 loose in the game folder would break them. Do not move these files up a level in the repo. Runtime leftovers from testing on the build machine are included as well (DDrawCompat logs, DebugLog.txt, mw4-help.txt, two screenshots), consistent with this repo's stated purpose as a full disaster-recovery mirror in which nothing is excluded on purpose. All binaries and art are stored via Git LFS per .gitattributes; verified that MW4.exe, libmysql.dll, the dgVoodoo2 DLLs and the screenshots staged as LFS pointers rather than raw blobs.

CydandClaude Fable 5	2f17631081	FS507D asset recovery, ConLobby V5.0.7Df promotion, mechlab New-Mech crash fix ... FS507D_20161015 release analysis wrap-up (drop itself is gitignored; art-review folder kept local for review): - Recovered the only assets our tree lacked: 13 hsh HUD/radar/mech bmps and the two 5.07D lobby decals (decal_46/47.tga, extracted from release props.mw4 via a ported gos_LZDecompress). - ResourceImagePool.cpp: missing-texture placeholder is now LAB_ONLY (editor keeps degraded mode); Release restores the original fatal STOP. Release + Profile rebuilt, 0 errors. Console script reconciled: - ConLobby.script.new ("BattleTech Console V5.0.7Df", newest revision anywhere) promoted to Content\ShellScripts\ConLobby.script; .new removed; stale loose deploy copy removed. Verified in-game (console title shows V5.0.7Df). - Corrected CLAUDE.md: the release never "renamed" the console to ComputerPlayer.script -- the resource packer stores script contents under alphabetically skewed entry names (runtime resolves the same pairing). Packer quirks documented (stale entry carry-forward on incremental builds, name/content skew in directory sweeps). Mechlab bug fix (first FireStorm bug hunt): - New-Mech dialog showed blank rows for Wolfhound/Zeus and crashed (KERNELBASE read AV) when creating a Zeus. Root cause: newmech in chassis.script created its Type droplist without setting $$m_listBoxSize$$, so capacity defaulted to 60 while 65 chassis were written in -- OOB script-array writes. Fixed by sizing the list from $$m_chassisCount$$. Latent stock-MW4 bug armed when the FireStorm roster passed 60 chassis. Verified: Zeus variant creates cleanly. props.mw4 fully repacked (decals + promoted console + mechlab fix, junk .new/.org entries gone); game deploy refreshed at MW4\. Gitignore: FS507D drop and player-created MW4\Resource\Variants. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-07-02 13:04:45 -05:00
Cyd	2b8ca921cb	Initial full mirror of c:\VWE (source + assets + toolchain + outputs) via Git LFS ... Complete disaster-recovery snapshot: engine/game source, game data assets, VC6 toolchain + DX SDKs, build outputs, deployed game, and _UNUSED archive. Large binaries in Git LFS; text preserved byte-for-byte (core.autocrlf=false, no eol attributes). See RECOVERY.md for the one-clone rebuild procedure.	2026-06-24 21:28:16 -05:00
