game-shaders.js ports the client's techniques to one ShaderMaterial
program per family and variant: LEGOPPLighting (hemisphere lit sun,
ambient, fresnel rim, N.H^320 specular, the default reflection cube;
decal and non-decal textures, emissive, super emissive, glow, grayscale,
no ambient, AnimUV), BasicShaders and AlphaAsAlpha (lit or unlit, both
sides, alpha blend, alpha test, additive, animated alpha, two layers),
Metallic.fx polished metal and brushed steel with the client's metal
cubes, clear plastic, the Distortion (Ocean) layers, Flat Surf,
BrickWater, darklings, terrain meshes, flairs and the sky. The maths runs
on sRGB values as Direct3D 9 did; lights, specular, hemisphere and fog
blend between scenes; textures move by the .nif's texture transforms.
Programs are shared by every material with the same defines.
A Fog switch (off by default) adds the zone's fog to scenery and
terrain. Shaders the game doesn't draw in the world (footprints, drop
shadows, post-processing) are left out. Docs list the families, their
gameValues and what's approximated.

NifFile::TechniqueFor maps every mapShaders gameValue to the client's
technique family (fixed function, LEGO, Basic/AlphaAsAlpha, metal, clear
plastic, ocean distortion, flat surf, BrickWater, darkling, terrain mesh),
its eShaderLook bits, texture alpha and eTechniqueFlag bits (moving
texture, both sides, blend, alpha test, additive, no ambient, glow,
super emissive, grayscale, shiny glint, not drawn, ...), from res/shaders
and the verified technique setups. Values it lacks are the LEGO shader,
as the client falls back to it. TextureAlphaFor and ShaderLookFor read it.
The scenery manifests carry it as "techniques" (replacing textureAlpha
and shaderLooks), the flairs' manifest a Flair.fx technique, the
lighting its specular color. /api/scenery/env/:name serves the
environment cubes the client's shaders load themselves (default
reflection, polished and brushed metal, brushed noise). Conversion
format 4.
scenery-core.js: techniqueOf, gameLook with the family and flags,
blendingOf, parseDdsCube; its test checks the flag and look bits against
NifFile.h.

Glitter colors (Materials.xml type glitter, glitter_colors 114,117) go into
S21_Glitter_Model and, transparent, S21_GlitterAlpha_Model (shader_glitter,
default 21, LEGO-AnimUV). Their shapes get box-projected UVs, an
NiTexturingProperty with a stored 128 px mipmapped fleck texture
(NiSourceTexture + NiPersistentSrcTextureRendererData, as the client's own
env_ag_ocean-maelstrom.nif) and two NiTextureTransformControllers looping
the base map's translation (glitter_size, glitter_density, glitter_speed).
The shader lays the texture over the vertex color by its alpha and outputs
the vertex alpha, so transparent glitter blends as S01_Alpha does.
Satin colors (satin_colors, LEGO's opal colors) stay in S01_Alpha but get
satin_opacity and are whitened by satin_whiten.
NifFile reads the base map's scroll speed (uvScroll) from the controllers;
the icon draws still flecks, the UGC 3D view and the LXFML viewers moving
ones. stats.json counts the glitter groups. With shader_glitter 0 and no
satin colors the files are the same bytes as before (tested). Also keeps
glow_emissive for the icon (it was reset by the icon settings).

/reprocessproperty and the dashboard's Reprocess all models mark the
property's models as priority (ugc.priority, migrations mysql 94 and sqlite
77). The UGC server takes priority models first, polls them even when its
queue is full, and puts them at its front, as it does cars and rockets. The
flag clears once a model is made.

A GM 8 command: every brick built model on the property you are on goes
back to the UGC server's queue. Once all are made (at most 15 minutes),
everyone on the property is sent the new mesh checksums and transferred
back into the same zone and clone, so their game loads the property again
and downloads the new meshes. Swapping a model's mesh in place doesn't
work in the client, so the whole property is loaded again.

property_bff_build (off by default, as live): while the owner is in build
mode, their best friends can join it and place, move and pick up models,
build brick by brick and edit behaviors, each from their own inventory.
Only the owner starts build mode; a best friend still in it when the owner
leaves keeps building until they leave it.
The client lets only the property's owner edit, so each player now gets
their own DownloadPropertyData, with their own id as the owner while they
can build, sent again whenever that changes. SetBuildModeConfirmed and
GetModelsOnProperty go to each player instead of everyone. The first
builder makes the property private and pauses the models; the last one
restores them. Saving no longer needs the owner in the world.
A model taken off the property goes to whoever placed it; if they aren't
here it stays placed. Privacy and the property's name stay owner only
(neither was checked before).

Sending every model's LXFML at property load and then switching to the
served mesh (served checksum, NotifyClientUGCModelReady, the model
constructed again) left the client drawing its own build. Now made models'
LXFML is left out of the property load again: the client downloads and
draws the served mesh, and when it asks for the HKX it gets the LXFML,
builds the model and loads its own HKX, so the model has collision while
the mesh drawn stays the served one. The load-time switch is removed; the
switch for a model made again while players are there stays.

The zone was saved on a property but the position wasn't (the physics
component kept its own "not a property" check), so logging back in put the
character at their old main world coordinates on the property map, outside
it. Both now use Character::SavesLocationInThisZone.

Switching characters keeps the connection (the client sends
CHARACTER_LIST_REQUEST to the world it's in), so the per-client UGC state
(waiting requests, pending mesh switches, the 3-switches-per-model cap)
carried over to the next character. It's now dropped as on a disconnect.

Taken down and constructed again in the same batch, the client dropped the

When execl failed in the forked child (seen when WorldServer was being
relinked as a property world was started), the child carried on as a copy of
the master: it logged "WorldServer PID is 0" and kept running, and the
player waiting for that world stayed stuck. The child now reports the error
and exits.

A character's location was only saved outside properties, so logging out
on a property and back in always went to the last world before it (as
live). save_property_location=1 (worldconfig.ini, dashboard: world

Off by default.

DestructEntity for one player (ghosting, or a model constructed again for
one player) also removed the object from the queue of every player still
loading, so a player loading at that moment never got it. Now only the
player it was taken down for loses it from their queue; taking an object
down for everyone still clears it for all.

Constructed right after NotifyClientUGCModelReady, the flush the client does
on its load thread could land after the new object had loaded its mesh, and
most models disappeared. The model is now constructed again 1.5 seconds
later.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
NotifyClientUGCModelReady only flushes the client's cached NIF, HKX and
LXFML and loads them again as preloads (0x00ca6430): an object already
drawn keeps its mesh, so the switch to the served mesh after a property
load (and a model made again) changed nothing on screen. Now each player
also has the model taken down and constructed again: the new object loads
the NIF, whose cached checksum is the served one (sent first), and the HKX,
whose checksum is still the one the client built, so it keeps collision.
Only models shown to that player are constructed again. Each switch is
logged.
Also corrects the address of the client's brushed steel texture
registration in the docs: 0x00467090 (RegisterBrushedSteelTextures) in
the 1.10.64 client.

color_brightness (percent, default 100: unchanged) scales the models' vertex
colors, not the icons', for servers where the made models look brighter than
they should. transparent_colors names color ids drawn transparent whatever
Materials.xml says: 129 (Tr. Bright Bluish Violet with Glitter) has alpha
255 there, so it came out opaque; a named color gets transparent_opacity.
Both default to off, so models come out byte for byte as before.

With ugc_manifest_models the world left made models out of the LXFML it
sends when a property loads, so the client never built them and had no HKX:
the UGC server makes no physics, and the HKX request got a 404, so served
models had no collision.
Now every model's LXFML is sent and the client builds each one (NIF and
HKX). For the models whose mesh the UGC server made, once the client has
loaded and 3 seconds after, the world sends it the served NIF's checksum and
NotifyClientUGCModelReady: the client drops what it cached for the model and
asks again, downloads the served mesh (its own NIF no longer matches) and
keeps its own HKX (still matching). An HKX request is answered with the LXFML
too, followed by the same switch, at most 3 times per client and model.

Lxfml::NormalizePosition moved only the first bone of each part, and never
the rigid systems, so after a save a flexible part's other bones and every
Rigid kept their world positions while the rest of the model was moved to
its own origin. Now every Bone and every Rigid moves by the same amount, and
the box that places the model holds every bone. Split maps every bone of a
part too, so a rigid system holding only a later bone keeps its brick.
Also:
- a model with no readable bone is kept as it is at the origin instead of
getting a center 10000 up
- the math is done in doubles and numbers are written as the shortest text
that reads back as the same float (-0.4, not -0.400002; 12.1678, not
12.1677)
- bricks and rigid systems come out in the file's order, so the same model
always splits into the same bytes
- parts over 5 MB are normalized like any other (the input is capped at
10 MB), and the loop's safety limit no longer drops every later model
The pivot is still snapped to the 0.8 grid (the bricks don't move in the
world; the model's position stays on the grid), which can put it half a
stud from the middle.

The client's Materials.xml has no brushedSteel or matteSteel colors, so the
Brushed Steel shader (mapShaders 89) was never used. brushed_colors names
color ids to draw with it whatever their type (e.g. the drum lacquered
298, 300, 1002, 1004); a named color wins over the metal and glow colors.
Empty by default. The docs note that the client registers the brushed
reflection and noise textures itself (0x00453730), so the .nif needs none.

The property page gets a Reprocess all models button (ugc_manage): every

NifFile::ShaderLookFor knows Polished Metal (98), Brushed Steel (99) and
LEGO-Emissive (53). The UGC mesh route sends each mesh's look (from its
multishader tag), and the UGC 3D view draws metal as reflective and glow
unlit. The zone views draw LEGO-Emissive objects going to their vertex
color by its alpha, as the shader does.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Player models are multishader (RenderComponent shader 100): the client
wraps each NiLODNode and draws it with the mapShaders id in its name.
With shader_metal, shader_brushed or shader_glow set, the opaque bricks
are split by look into S<id>_Metal_Model, S<id>_Brushed_Model and
S<id>_Glow_Model beside S01_Opaque_Model and S01_Alpha_Model, each with
every LOD level. Metal is LU Toolbox's metallic colors plus Materials.xml
types (shinySteel; brushedSteel and matteSteel for brushed), glow its
glow colors. Glow shapes get an emissive material (glow_emissive) and
their plain color, not the baked one. Transparent glow stays in S01_Alpha.
All off by default, which writes the same bytes as before (tested). Not
how live looked; models already made change only when made again.
The icon renderer reads the groups back by tag and draws glow at its
plain color and metal with a tinted reflection and highlight.

- Shader 94 ("Basic") draws with vertex colors: its class's technique setup
names Technique_Basic_Lighting_VertColor, as 38 "Basic VC" does. The views
treated it as having none, so Nimbus Station's glom pines (tag S84) came
out as their grey texture, white. The other shader looks in use were
checked the same way (33, 35, 37, 70, 82, 84, 105 hold).
- Two layer shaders: NiTexturingProperty's dark texture and the UV set each
texture's flags name are read, and the views draw "Two Layers Blended" as
the dark texture under the base one by the vertex alpha (no longer as
opacity) and "Two Textures Added" as in TwoLayersAdded_PS. Avant Gardens'
snowy grass mounds were see-through hills. The client ships no technique
for the blended ones, so that blend follows the meshes' data.
- The near plane follows how far out the camera is (distance / 400, 0.5 to
20) instead of a fixed 0.5 over a far plane in the thousands, so ground
overlays, floor rings and road pieces stop fighting in far views.
- Conversion format 3 (new model data), so kept conversions are made again.

The textured terrain in the world and property 3D views now takes the
lighting the scenery uses (the scene's sun and ambient light, blending as
the focus moves between scenes), as TiledDetailDiffuse_4_PS does: the
blended textures times the diffuse map times two times the clamped vertex
light, times the blend alpha. Until a manifest brings the lighting, the
terrain keeps its own light.
Checked against the client (RAWReadColorandLightMaps 0x0102e3e0 and the
texture map reader at 0x0103aaf0): the game's diffuse map and blend map are
DDS copies of the color and texture maps the views use (same pixels on the
Avant Gardens chunks compared), so the dark patches and the steep drops at
the plateau's edges are in the terrain file itself.

A "Scenes" choice in the world and property 3D views: every scene (as
before), the scenes the game keeps loaded around the camera or the followed
player (the scene under it from the terrain's scene map, the scenes its
transitions connect to, and the global scene, following as it moves), or
scenes picked from a list (world view). The lighting blends to the lighting
of the scene under the focus, as the client blends between scenes.
The scenery manifest now carries each object's scene, the zone's scenes with
their neighbours and lighting, and the scene map as runs (37 KB for Avant
Gardens); scenery-core.js finds the scene at a point exactly as ZoneScenes
does (checked against it on 2000 points of Avant Gardens).

The client keeps the scene under the player loaded, the scenes the zone
file's transitions connect to it, and the global scene
(Zone::StreamScenesAroundPosition 0x0108a3f0, TerrainManager::GetSceneAtPos
0x01069010, the connected scenes at 0x01066500; transitions naming a
missing scene dropped as Zone::FixupInvalidTransitions 0x010842e0 does).
- ZoneScenes (dCommon): the terrain's scene map lookup and the scene graph,
shared by the world server and the dashboard.
- Objects remember the scene they were placed in (spawners pass theirs on).
- ghosting_scenes=1 (world config, off by default): players get the objects
of their loaded scenes instead of the ones within the ghosting distances;
objects from no scene go by the scene under them. Zones without a scene
map keep distance ghosting.

The old zone's scenery, flairs, terrain and markers stayed until the new
zone's data came back, and a manifest still loading could land after a newer
one. Switching now clears them at once; scenery requests are aborted when
cleared, late manifests and textures of a cleared load are dropped (and
disposed), and the budget no longer counts them.

Glom models (multishader) drew their trees, rocks, fences and water white.
Their conversions kept on disk from before meshes carried their multishader
tag were still served (the cache format version was never bumped), so every
part fell back to the LEGO shader, whose texture alpha lays the (mostly grey)
texture over the vertex colors that hold the actual colors. Browsers also
kept those models for a week.
- Bump the conversion format so old conversions are made again, and put it
in the manifests; the viewers add it to model and texture URLs.
- Light scenery as the client's shaders do: the scene's sun and ambient
light from its .lvl (read as level_read_lighting_info, 0x0102f8f0, and
EnvironmentManager::SetLightEnv, 0x01088aa0, do), per vertex, clamped,
instead of the view's own lights, environment map and tone mapping. The
zone takes the lighting most of its objects' scenes have.
- Programmable shaders read vertex colors and ignore NiMaterialProperty's
color and alpha; unlit and untextured shaders (by mapShaders gameValue)
leave out lighting or the texture. Fixed function stays as it was.

The UGC page ran a CDClient query per distinct car or rocket combination
to find each preset's sample (thousands on a large server), re-read the
car and rocket build types from the CDClient on every list request, and
grouped every build into assemblies again on every page, sort or filter
change of the Cars and rockets list.
The modules and icon kinds are now read once at startup on the main

the grouped assemblies are shared by the requests of 15 seconds.

The inventory modal drew every item of every tab into the page, and one

no tooltips at all). Now the items come from the summary API when the

The game client asks for a car's or rocket's icon as soon as it is

The earlier finding that the client ignores the UGCSERVER* lines of its
boot.cfg was wrong: the test clients' boot.cfg had a line without its
trailing comma, so the client rejected the whole file and used its
defaults. Documents the boot.cfg a server owner needs, what the client
does with a placed model's files (checked in the client) and what the
worlds now send.

A placed model's client (1.10.64, UGCUSE3DSERVICES=7:0) always loads its
blueprint's NIF and HKX (its BlueprintComponent sets renderUserGen and
physicsUserGen itself) and its LXFML, asks the world for each file's
manifest first and waits for the answer with no timeout.
With ugc_manifest=1 and the new ugc_manifest_models=1 (default 0) the world:
- leaves the models whose mesh the UGC server made out of the LXFML it
sends when a property loads,
- answers their NIF with the UGC server's checksum, their LXFML with the
stored LXFML's (worked out once and kept) and their HKX as not known,
- sends a model that isn't made its LXFML (once for the three requests),
so the client builds it itself and no model is left waiting.
When the UGC server writes a model's mesh with a new checksum it sends
UGC_MODELS_MADE (a new master message, appended) to the master, which
passes it to every world; a world with that model placed sends its
players the new NIF checksum and NotifyClientUGCModelReady (game message
909, the blueprint id), so clients switch to the served mesh.

The dashboard shows worlds master has launched but that aren't connected
yet (Starting) and those shutting down, on the main page's world list
and in /api/worlds (state: starting|stopping), without a shutdown
button. Master's server list now carries each world's state (appended
after the UGC fields, one byte per world) and master pushes the list to
the dashboard whenever a world is launched, becomes ready, is told to
shut down or goes away, instead of the dashboard only seeing it on its
30 second poll. Starting worlds are kept apart from the running ones,
so counts, events and shutdown requests still only see running worlds.
prestart_worlds (masterconfig.ini, zone ids) lists the worlds master
starts when prestart_servers is on, instead of the hardcoded character
select (0) and Venture Explorer (1000), which stay the default when it
is missing or empty. It is on the Settings page as a zone list (restart
only), shown when prestart_servers is on.

The news screen's slot tooltip names the slot's own property world

top property instead of the top four across every world, and the

Cars and rockets built before builds were recorded have no subkey and no
ugc_modular_build row, so the client has no blueprint id to ask for their
icon with. When a character loads, such an item (a ModularBuildComponent

gets: a persistent id as its subkey and a ugc_modular_build row with its
modules and owner. The next save keeps the subkey; nothing is dropped.

instead of as uncompressed 32-bit BGRA with a pitch.
The BC3 encoder fits each block's colour endpoints along the principal
axis of its visible pixels (transparent ones are never seen), refines
them by least squares, and stores alpha with the block's own range.
Tests check the header against the client's format and decode the
result back.

With UGCUSE3DSERVICES=7:0 (the client's default) the client asks its world for
a blueprint file's MD5 and size (REQUEST_UGC_MANIFEST_INFO, world 27) and then
downloads BrickModels/UserMade/<id % 1000>/<id>.<ext>.sd0. Layouts checked in
the 1.10.64 client: the request is a u64 blueprint id and a u8 resource type;
the answer (UGC_MANIFEST_RESPONSE, client 60) repeats them and adds a u8 valid,
the u32 size and the 16 byte MD5 of the inflated file, 37 bytes after the 0x53
exactly or the client drops it.
- dNet: WorldPackets::RequestUgcManifestInfo, ClientPackets::UgcManifestResponse
(eUgcResourceType), with byte tests against the client's layouts.
- Database: ugc_file_checksums (per model or module combination and file) and
ugc_modular_build.combination_id (migrations 89 / 72), GetUgcFileChecksum
looks a blueprint up as a model, else as a build through its combination.
- UGC server: every download is also written as .sd0 (Sd0::Compress); workers
hand the checksums back and the main thread stores them; old items get their
sd0 icon and checksum, and builds their combination id, once at start-up, a
few per tick; serves <dir>/BrickModels/UserMade/<bucket>/<id>.<ext>.sd0 under
client_path, /<folder>/UserBrickModels and the root (.hkx 404).
- World: UgcManifest answers on the main thread with one indexed query per
request; files not made yet are answered when they are (looked at again
every 5 seconds), and a model in its quiet period is made right away. No
worker threads, HTTP or file reads in the world.
Off by default (ugc_manifest=0): checked in game, the client then downloads
from http://127.0.0.1:80/lwoclient/UserBrickModels/ whatever its boot.cfg says
and logs the player out when it can't connect, so icons need the UGC server on
port 80 of each player's machine. docs/UgcServer.md has the details.
