f45a21c15f feat(dashboard): the game's own shaders in the world and property 3D views
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.

59b9ceb52c feat(dashboard): import, reprocess and remove models from the property 3D view
The 3D view gets the property page's model actions: Reprocess all models
(ugc_manage), Import LXFML at the file's positions and Remove all models
(properties_import). Not on the showcase view.

8193e23e53 feat(dashboard): terrain lit by the zone's lights, blending with the scenery
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.

5a5a94df83 feat(dashboard): a Reset property button in the property 3D view
Starts the property over as it's saved: fetched again, every model back in
its place and not smashed, behaviors stopped, the log and the selection
cleared, and the view framed on the plot.

2da96ada83 feat(dashboard): 3D views show a zone's scenes as the game loads them
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).

36cefc1ede feat(ugc): brick data through the client's assets; colours from Materials.xml everywhere
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.

28dfc7f191 feat(dashboard): UGC details in the property 3D view and model list
Selecting a brick-built model in the 3D view shows its UGC data under
Selected: icons now and before, state, waiting until, UGC id, owner,
name and description, bricks, triangles before and after hidden faces
were removed, timings, and links to the UGC viewer, NIF and LXFML, with
Make again for UGC managers. The property page's model rows have the
same block, opened on demand.

4034e11229 feat(dashboard): draw generated models in the property 3D view
Player-built models the UGC server made are drawn from their NIF, falling back
to the LXFML; a Generated models switch turns it off.

2961089d6b feat(dashboard): breadcrumbs that follow how you reached a page
Detail pages carry a breadcrumb bar built from a per-tab trail in
sessionStorage: following a link from a page on the trail extends it,
going back to one cuts it there, and opening a page directly shows its
natural parents. The property 3D view's back button goes to the previous
crumb, and the property page renames its crumb once its name loads.

e213a7aeff feat: web dashboard and playground work
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.
