docs/UgcServer.md: embree-gpu in the processing options, the build option
DLU_EMBREE_SYCL (a SYCL compiler: oneAPI's icpx or the open source DPC++), the
library it builds and loads, the run time it needs, the GPUs it supports and
embree_gpu_device; which backend covers which hardware.
Check: the section against the settings page.

docs/UgcServer.md: "Hidden faces" describes the renders from 42 directions
(hsr_resolution) and what they remove that LU Toolbox keeps, and why the path
traced version was removed; the parity table says so. "Processing options" has
ray_backend (embree, hiprt) and denoise, how options stored with builtin,
toolbox or fast are read, and what the tests compare the backends with.
Check: the sections match the settings page and the UGC page.

docs/UgcServer.md gets "Processing options": the three settings and their
choices, how they compare with builtin/toolbox/off, the optional builds
(DLU_OIDN, DLU_HIPRT) and what they need, what each make records and where the
dashboard shows it; the migration, /reprocessproperty's options, the command
line's and the UGC page's buttons.
Check: the section reads right against the settings page and the UGC page.

Checked for the "module textures in car and rocket icons" request: none
of the 399 render assets of the client's ModuleComponent LOTs (1.10.64;
the same in the other clients on disk) has an NiSourceTexture or
NiTexturingProperty. The modules' look is their vertex colors and
materials, which the icons draw already, so there is nothing to add.
Check: nothing to check in game; compare a car's and a rocket's icon with
the client's module icons (textures/ui/rebuilding/) if in doubt.

A make's recorded time (process_ms, stats.json's ms.total) includes the
icon drawn at its end. Drawing only the icons again (the icon editor's
Draw all icons of this type again) left the stats and the rows with the
old icons' time. Now the icon-only job writes stats.json with the new
icon's time (ms.icon, ms.total changed by the difference,
UgcJobs::WithIconTime) and the main thread changes the row's process_ms
and process_cpu_ms by the same difference (the icon is drawn on one
thread, so its time is taken as its CPU time). The dashboard's Took,
CPU and totals follow.
Check: open a player model on the UGC page, Draw all icons of this type
again: afterwards its Took changes by the icon's difference and its
stats show the new icon time.

The UGC Search page and the UGC page searched the same things (owner,
account, property, the name and description a player gave a model, LOT,
UGC / blueprint id) with the same SQL. The UGC page's lists are now the
one search:
- models' List view has a Where column: placed on a property (with the
name given there and a link to the model in the property's 3D view),
in a mail or in the creator's inventories, or not found
(/api/ugc?where=1, UgcLinks::Whereabouts as before)
- owners link to their character and, with accounts_view, account
- while searching, the kind buttons say how many models and how many
cars and rockets match (/api/ugc "matches")
- /ugc_search?q= redirects to /ugc?view=list&q=; the menu's UGC Search
entry is now UGC, which opens the UGC page (it was only under Server
Admin, for ugc_manage)
- References lose their Find button (Where it is has the same) and name
the inventory a build is in
The ugc-search page and script are removed; /api/ugc_links/search stays
for API users.
Check: the menu's UGC entry; an old /ugc_search?q= link opens the UGC
list with the search filled in; owner:, account:, property:, name:,
lot: and id: searches, and the counts on the kind buttons; the Where
column's links (property, 3D, character, account).

The UGC page's assemblies (cars and rockets) list had its own columns.
It now has the models' columns and sorts, minus Saved: ID and Owner (the
newest build and its creator, and how many other owners), State, Made,
Took, CPU and RAM (the latest make of any build, and the cost of the make
the UGC server did for the combination; builds that shared the made icon
cost nothing), Size (the module count), File (the build type and its
modules) and Where (how many builds and owners use it, opening
References). The gallery sorts the same way.
Check: UGC page, Cars and rockets, List: every column sorts both ways on
the server, and the gallery's sort list has the same sorts.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Cars and rockets built before builds were recorded were saved with
subkey 0 and have no ugc_modular_build row, so the client has no
blueprint id to ask for their icon with. The runtime fix only reaches
characters that load again.
Migrations mysql 98 and sqlite 81 (98/81 because the guilds work takes
97/80) run ModularBuildIdMigration after the SQL: every saved item with
modules (x@ma) and no subkey gets what a new build gets, as the
character-load fix does: a persistent id from object_id_tracker (with
the character bit) as its subkey and a ugc_modular_build row with its
modules and the character as owner. The XML is written with
UpdateCharacterXml. Tried on a copy of a server's database with a
couple of thousand such items: every one got an id and a build row, in
seconds.
Check: after the migration, old cars and rockets show their icons in the
backpack (the UGC server makes them like any build) and still work
(equip, race, launch).

The UGC page's model view now draws the glitter sparkle shapes (look
SPARKLE) flashing as the client's Distortion Directional shader makes
them: two layers of sparkles sliding at the client's rates (a tile in
24 s at three quarters the scale, a tile in 48 s), shown only where both
have one. Flecks are drawn as flat flakes of the fleck size and varied
brightness (addGlitter in scenery-core.js), no longer drifting (the game
never moves them). The LXFML views (the UGC page's second view, the
property and zone views) draw both on the glitter colors from
window.LDD_GLITTER, which now carries every glitter setting and is no
longer cached, so changing a glitter setting on the settings page
previews on any model's LXFML view without making it again.
Check in the dashboard (not the game): open a glitter model on the UGC
page; both views show still flecks and sparkles flashing on the glitter
bricks only; change glitter_sparkle_amount / glitter_fleck_size in the
settings and reopen the model: the LXFML view follows.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The fleck texture was 50 soft round blobs of one size, bright in the
middle and fading out, which read as a smudgy dot pattern. LEGO's glitter
bricks have many small flat flakes (about half a millimetre) of which
most look faint and a few catch the light. The flecks are now flat
flakes of glitter_fleck_size (0.05 model units, i.e. 0.5 mm; 0.7 to 1.3
of it) with a one-pixel edge, each as bright as its facet catches the
light (0.3 to 1 of glitter_fleck_opacity, 80%, weighted towards dim),
80 a tile by default. The texture grows (128 to 512) to keep a fleck 3
pixels wide. New settings glitter_fleck_size and glitter_fleck_opacity;
glitter_density defaults to 80. Only glitter output changes.
Check in game: reprocess a glitter model; close up, the flecks are small
crisp flakes of varied brightness, not blurry dots; from a few metres
the brick still reads as its color with a fine glitter.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Why the glitter never moved: player models (LOT 14) are wrapped in
weeblewobble.kfm (RenderComponentWrapper 9845), so the client makes them
an LWOSkinnedRenderComponent, whose Run (0x00d6d3d0) updates the scene
graph (and so any NiTextureTransformController) only while animation is
enabled, and LWOModelBehaviorComponent::EnableAnimation (0x00be2740)
turns it off for modelType 2, which every placed property model is. The
root flags 0x102 added earlier are only read by the base render
component. Nothing in a placed model's .nif can move.
What does move: shader classes set globals in their own per-frame Run.
Distortion Directional (Ocean) (mapShaders 79, Run 0x010b90c0) slides
its texture layers by fixed shares of a tile a second, as the game's own
pond ripples (S79__pond_ripplesShape). Glitter bricks now get a sparkle
group, S79_GlitterSparkle_Model: their triangles lifted 0.005 off the
brick, vertex colors white tinted by the brick, UVs placed per brick,
alpha tested (ShaderCommon's alpha test phase, GREATEREQUAL 127), with a
stored texture of flat sparkles at alpha 230: one layer's sparkle alone
averages under the test, two meeting pass, so sparkles flash and go out
as the layers cross. The flecks stay (LEGO-AnimUV, now without the
controllers and flags that never ran). The icon and the dashboard's 3D
view leave the sparkles out.
New settings: shader_glitter_sparkle (79, 0 off), glitter_sparkle_size,
glitter_sparkle_amount, glitter_sparkle_tint, glitter_sparkle_brightness;
glitter_speed is now how fast sparkles flash (the sparkle tile). Only
glitter output changes; non-glitter models are byte-identical.
Check in game: reprocess a property with glitter models, then look at
them from a few angles and distances, on each graphics quality:
- sparkles flash on and off all over the glitter bricks, continuously
- no flickering fight between the sparkles and the brick surface
- transparent glitter bricks still see-through, flecks still visible
- nothing drawn where there is no glitter brick; icons unchanged
apart from the flecks
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Every glitter brick had the same flecks in the same places: the UVs were
the vertex positions projected on an axis plane, so bricks a whole tile
apart (and every brick of the same shape at the same spot in its own
model) looked identical. Each brick now has a number of its own
(UgcGlitter::BrickSeed, from the model's id and the brick's index, kept
per vertex in Mesh::brickSeeds) that turns the projection by an angle
and moves it by an offset under a tile, differently for each axis
plane. A model made again gets the same patterns; every LOD of a brick
the same one. The icon now draws the flecks on the UVs the .nif has
(Mesh::uvs read back by FromNif). New setting glitter_random (1; 0 puts
the same pattern on every brick as before). Non-glitter models are
byte-identical (hash tests unchanged).
Check in game: reprocess a model with several glitter bricks of the
same shape; the fleck patterns differ from brick to brick.

A client asks for a served model's HKX and is answered with the model's
LXFML, so it builds its own collision. That build also writes the
client's own .nif over the served one it downloaded and caches that
file's MD5 as the NIF's manifest info (client 1.10.64:
LWOBBBInterface::GenerateModelFromLxfml 0x00b6c220, MainThread_Process-
ModelResponse 0x00b5a1e0; valid entries never expire, 0x010186d0). On the
next load of the property the client used its cached checksum and file
without asking, and drew its own build instead of the served mesh.
Now, before the property's objects are constructed for a player, the
world sends them the served NIF checksum of every made model placed there
(UgcManifest::OnPropertyLoading). A client whose cached checksum is its
own build's downloads the served mesh again; one that has it already
downloads nothing. Nothing is sent unless ugc_manifest and
ugc_manifest_models are 1.
Check in game (ugc_manifest=1, ugc_manifest_models=1): visit a property
with made models, leave, come back in the same session (and after a
client restart): the models show the served mesh every time, and still
have collision.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
When a model finishes on the UGC server while players are on the property,
each client was sent the served NIF checksum, NotifyClientUGCModelReady and
the model constructed again at once. A client that was sent the model's
LXFML shortly before (the property load, a request for a model not made
yet, the owner's brick by brick save) is still building it then: the build
writes its own .nif over BrickModels/UserMade/<id>.nif and caches that
file's MD5 as the NIF's manifest info when it finishes (client 1.10.64:
LWOBBBInterface::GenerateModelFromLxfml 0x00b6c220, MainThread_Process-
ModelResponse 0x00b5a1e0), undoing the switch, so it kept its own build.
That is the usual case: another player's client asks for a model the owner
just placed, gets its LXFML, and that request makes the UGC server make the
model at once.
Now such a client is switched 30 seconds after the last LXFML sent to it
(UgcManifest::ServedMeshSwitches, BUILD_SETTLE); another LXFML sent
meanwhile starts the wait again. Other clients are switched at once, as
before. The served checksum is looked up when the switch happens. HKX
requests are still answered with the LXFML, so collision stays the
client's own.
Check in game (ugc_manifest=1, ugc_manifest_models=1, two accounts on one
property): the owner saves a new model; within about 30 s of the UGC
server making it, the other player's copy blinks out and back with the
served mesh (vertex AO, look of the dashboard's viewer), and still has
collision (walk into it). The owner's copy switches the same way. The
world log shows "Switching ... to the served mesh of model ...".

- IUgc::GetUgcProcessTotals sums what the UGC server made, for models and
for car and rocket builds: count, time spent (and how many are timed),
CPU time, average and slowest, average and most memory (estimate),
bricks, triangles and triangles saved (models whose count before hidden
face removal is known). /api/ugc returns them as totals and the UGC page
shows a card for each kind. Parity tested.
- Player models no longer have a shared icon preset: every one is a
different size and shape, so its icon is fitted to it from the settings.
The UGC server ignores a kind:model preset, the dashboard refuses to save
one, and the icon editor hides the type buttons for models. One model's
own icon values still work. Car and rocket build types keep theirs.

The 42 depth renders only saw faces in direct view, so faces reached only by
bounced light (interiors, recesses, rooms seen through openings) were removed.
UgcHsr traces the paths LU Toolbox's Cycles bake traces, directly from points
on each opaque triangle, and removes a triangle only when none of its paths
reaches the sky:
- points in rows along the triangle's longest side, hsr_sample_spacing apart
(0.1143, 7 x 7 on a stud-sized square), at least hsr_min_points (28, the
texels LU Toolbox bakes for a triangle), at most 4096
- hsr_samples (8) paths from each point, at most hsr_bounces (8) bounces, as
Cycles 3.1 samples the bake material (Principled BSDF defaults: Burley
diffuse and GGX specular, defensive sampling, Filter Glossy, 4 glossy
bounces, Russian roulette from the second bounce, ensure_valid_reflection);
no direct sky sampling (Cycles doesn't sample a flat world as a light)
- hsr_ground_plane: LU Toolbox's black box under LDD's floor
- decided per triangle, deterministic per model; triangles without area removed
- the VC pre-pass isn't done
Checked against LU Toolbox's operator in Blender 3.1.2 on the same meshes (27
models, 937,814 triangles): 501,362 removed there, 501,172 here, differences
as large as LU Toolbox's own between seeds. optimize_resolution is retired;
remove_hidden_faces=0 makes the same files as before.

The client updates an object's scene graph each frame only when its root
NiNode has the selective update bit (0x02; LWOBaseRenderComponent::Run
0x00d5d770 via NiAVObject::GetSelectiveUpdate 0x00413050). Our roots had
0x110, so a glitter model was updated once when it loaded and its texture
controllers never moved. A model with moving glitter now has 0x102 on its
root and the glitter group's nodes and 0x1A on the glitter shapes, as the
client's own AG ocean; still glitter and everything else keep the flags
they had.

Glitter plastic has its flecks set in it; they catch the light as the view
moves, which LEGO-AnimUV can't do (it can only slide the texture). Drifting
flecks read as something flowing over the brick, so glitter_speed defaults
to 0: still flecks and no controllers. 1 and up still drift.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
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.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
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.

Tested in game: shader_metal 88, shader_brushed 89 and shader_glow 46 are
now the defaults, with brushed_colors defaulting to the drum lacquered
298,300,1002,1004 and transparent_colors to 129. Empty list settings take
the default; none turns a list off. The three shader ids set to 0 still
write live's all-plastic models byte for byte.

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.

Taken down and constructed again in the same batch, the client dropped the
construction of the object it hadn't deleted yet, and most models
disappeared. The construction now follows a second later.

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.

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.
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.

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.

The client's 128x128 UI icons are almost all DXT5 without mipmaps, with
header flags caps|height|width|pixel format|linear size (0x81007) and
caps 0x1000. The UGC server's icon.dds is now written the same way
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.

The UGC server reads brickdb.zip and brickprimitives through DLU's
AssetManager (loose files first, then the client's packs, as the game
does), so packed clients and bricks added to a client work. It falls
back to loose files under res/ as before.
In the LU Toolbox palette (the default), a colour LU Toolbox doesn't
know but the client's Materials.xml has, such as one added to the brick
database, is drawn in its Materials.xml colour instead of black. Ids
neither knows stay LU Toolbox's black.
The dashboard's 3D viewers get the brick colours from the client's
Materials.xml (/api/bricks/materials.js) instead of a hardcoded copy, so
added colours show there too.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A model with no bricks has nothing to make: it gets its own state
(is_optimized = 3), isn't counted as a failure or retried, shows as Empty
on the UGC page (with its own filter and count), in the status and in
Prometheus, and its downloads answer 404 like HKX. State names come from
the enum (magic_enum). Migrations dlu/mysql/87 and dlu/sqlite/70 move the
rows that failed only because they had no bricks.

The icon was rendered from a second mesh built only for it (the icon
renderer's color corrections, no variation, occlusion worked out again). It
is now drawn from the .nif just made, read back with NifFile at LOD 0, so it
shows exactly what the game shows: the color variation, the removed faces and
the lighting baked into the vertex colors (so it adds no occlusion of its
own). icon_correct_colors and icon_color_variation are gone; the camera and
light settings stay. Cars and rockets are drawn as before.

A step by step table of LU Toolbox's pipeline against the UGC server's, the
new settings and their defaults, the measured effect of max_cpu_percent and
max_memory_mb, and the dashboard's gallery, viewer and internal address.

Counts, a paged list and failures of what the UGC server made of players'
models and modular builds, making one, the failed ones or everything again
(new ugc_manage permission), the UGC server's live status and icons from
ugc_public_url, and a 3D view of a model's LXFML. The UGC settings are in the
settings catalog.

A new server (dUgcServer, started by master with enable_ugc_server=1) that
takes unprocessed ugc and ugc_modular_build rows from the database and makes
what the client downloads with UGCUSE3DSERVICES: an optimized NIF (hidden
faces removed, ambient occlusion baked into vertex colors) and a 128px DDS
icon for player models, rendered by a software rasterizer from the client's
LDD brick primitives, and icons for cars and rockets assembled from their
modules per ModularBuildComponent/ModuleComponent. It serves them, with the
models' LXFML, over HTTP in the client's UGCC<dc>/3DOPTIMIZED and
IMAGE128DDS layout with .gz and .checksum files, and keeps its folder under
a size cap.
Processing state lives in ugc.is_optimized plus new processed_at,
process_attempts and process_error columns (and the same on
ugc_modular_build). ServiceType::UGC is appended. NifFile moves to dCommon
and records named node transforms for the modules' attach points.
