- 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 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.

The NexusDashboard-parity dashboard (dDashboardServer) and everything built on it on the experimental branch:
accounts, characters, properties and moderation tools, permissions shared with in-game slash commands, economy
reports, World 3D and property 3D views with client scenery, scheduled events (features, vanity changes, live
events, announcements, restarts), vanity files and events, the CDClient browser, the message inspector with saved
captures, chat filter tools, community challenges, live ops, the AI moderator helper, and the server-side changes
they need.
