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.

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
settings) saves it on properties too, and login returns to that property.
Off by default.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

UgcIconPose holds the icon camera, model rotation (yaw/pitch/roll, YXZ) and
the crop to the projected bounds; RenderIcon uses it. The parameter list gains
the model's turn (defaults 0, so icons stay the same). POST /admin/assembly
returns a module combination's assembled .nif (turned by the build type's
AdditionalModelRotation), made on a worker and kept in a small cache.

The editor on the UGC page works for player models as well as cars and
rockets: its sliders come from /api/ugc/icon/params (UgcIconParams), it
shows the item's kind (player models, or the build type named from the
client's data), previews with the UGC server, and saves the kind's preset or
the item's own values, resets them and draws a kind's icons again.
The light settings whose defaults changed have new names (icon_world_light,
icon_sun_light, icon_shadow_strength), so the darker values in existing
ugcconfig.ini files no longer apply. Request ids are read safely (a missing
id crashed the dashboard).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Brighter icons: a world light, a fill from the camera, a highlight, exposure
and contrast; with the defaults the icons' mean luminance matches the game's
own model icons (118 against 120 on a scratch set). Every icon parameter is
listed once (UgcIconParams: key, setting, range, default); the settings,
the dashboard's settings entries and the icon editor come from that list.
Presets per kind (player models, each car or rocket build type from
ModularBuildComponent) and overrides per model or module combination are in
ugc_icon_settings.
Saved models wait ugc_debounce_seconds (sharedconfig) after the owner's last
save before they're made (ugc.process_after); a client asking for one, the
owner leaving the world or a reset ends the wait.
Cars and rockets: one icon per combination of modules (sorted LOTs), shared
by every build of it; builds of a combination made already are marked made
right away, the client's per-blueprint downloads serve the shared files.
The dashboard can delete one item's files, purge by filter or all, preview
icons with any values on the UGC server (/admin routes, master password),
save presets and overrides, and draw a kind's icons again (icons only).
Migrations dlu/mysql/86 and dlu/sqlite/69. Not done yet: the dashboard
editor's lighting controls in the page script (routes are there), docs for
it, the empty-model state, /ugc?item= links, the shared fetch helper; the
storage size and property loading bugs are next.

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.

The /ugc page no longer needs the browser to reach the UGC server: the
dashboard fetches its status (/api/ugc/server/status), the files it made
(/api/ugc/files/<kind>/<id>/<file>) and its NIFs converted for the 3D view
(/api/ugc/mesh/<id>, NifFile like the scenery) from ugc_internal_url
(default http://127.0.0.1:2008) with libcurl on the worker threads, keeping
small answers briefly. ugc_public_url is only an "open on the UGC server"
link now.
The page gets an icon gallery beside the list, filtered by kind, state and a
search by id or owner (GetUgcProcessList/GetModularBuildProcessList take a
search), and a viewer: the generated NIF in 3D at any LOD, now or before it
was made again, with wireframe, vertex color and baked lighting switches, the
LXFML beside it, the icon now and before, and the stats with triangles before
and after hidden faces were removed. The status box shows CPU, memory, the
jobs' memory estimate with their limits, and throttling. The settings page
lists the UGC server's new settings.

LU Toolbox's Combine Transparent is off by default, so each transparent brick
is its own object and shape (the client can sort them). combine_transparent=1
joins them as before.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Parity with LU Toolbox's Process Model, Bake Lighting and icon renderer, with
its defaults as the settings' defaults:
- Colors from its LU palette (UgcPalette: LU colors, LDD colors mapped to the
nearest LU one, unknown ones black), transparent bricks at 58.82% opacity, a
brick transparent only when all of its materials are.
- Color variation: each brick's material gets its HSV value shifted in a 2.224
gamma by up to 5% (times the color's own amount), from a random number of
the model, brick and material, so reprocessing gives the same colors in
every LOD. Icons get none, and the icon renderer's color corrections.
- LODs 0 and 2 with its distance logic, written as NiLODNode/NiRangeLODData
like its exports and the game's own brick models, shapes divided at 65535
vertices along the longest side like divide_mesh.
- Ambient occlusion like its AO-only bake: 64 rays per vertex, distance 5,
after hidden surface removal, transparent bricks neither baked nor
occluding, glow colors added.
- Icons from its icon scene: 50 mm lens at 53.4/19.5 degrees, sun of 2.5 at
21/50.3 degrees with soft shadows, grey world light with occlusion; LOD 0's
hidden surface removal and occlusion are reused for them.
- Optional ground plane for hidden surface removal; stats.json per model and
the previous version's previews kept for comparing.
Budgets, applied live on config reload: max_cpu_percent (workers account
their thread CPU time and sleep to stay under it, long renders included),
worker_nice, max_memory_mb (jobs are estimated from their brick count and
wait until they fit), max_model_bricks and pause_hours. /status and the
traffic report show CPU, memory and throttling.

Mapped from the 1.10.64 client and live captures (docs/BuildWorkflow.md).
Model placement (PropertyManagementComponent):
- A brick built model placed from the inventory spawned at the world origin
with no rotation and without PlaceModelResponse/PreCreate, and was saved
to properties_contents with ugc_id 0; it is now placed where the client
put it, keeps its UGID and blueprint and is saved with them.
- Picking up, putting away and taking apart a brick built model gave it to
MODELS_IN_BBB and then deleted it; every way off the property now puts it
in MODELS (carried when picked up), as live, with its blueprint config.
Taking a premade model apart no longer deletes it either.
- Placing and removing a model saves the property at once, so a crash or a
disconnect before PropertyEditorEnd does not lose it.
- DoneArrangingWithItem only answers when something new is picked (not when
leaving), with the subject as build area; SetBuildModeConfirmed's
warnVisitors matches live.
Brick by brick (BrickByBrick):
- BBBLoadItemRequest moves the model to MODELS_IN_BBB keeping its id and
fails cleanly when the player has no such model.
- MoveInventoryBatch moves bricks between BRICKS and BRICKS_IN_BBB (it was
not handled, so the client and server disagreed until a relog).
- BBBSaveRequest uses up the opened models, places the new ones through the
property, returns the bricks (or uses them with bbb_consume_bricks=1),
clears the autosave and sends RequeryPropertyModels. Every save makes new
ugc rows (is_optimized 0, so the UGC server processes them).
- Quick save: SetBBBAutosave is stored per character (bbb_autosave).
- UnUseBBBModel puts a model back on the property where it was when it came
from there, otherwise back in MODELS.
- Leaving brick mode without a save, a disconnect or a crash: the autosave
is rebuilt into models (RebuildBBBAutosaveMsg) or the opened models go
back to MODELS. MODELS_IN_BBB is saved with the character now and loads
into MODELS, BRICKS_IN_BBB into BRICKS.

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

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.

bind_ip in sharedconfig.ini picks the local IPv4 address every server's
RakNet sockets listen on (auth, chat, master, world, the dashboard's
connection to master), separate from external_ip, the address players
are sent. Empty or 0.0.0.0 keeps listening on all interfaces; localhost
means 127.0.0.1. Anything that isn't an IPv4 address stops the server
with an error, and each server logs what it bound to.
