Our version of #147. With audio.loose_sounds (off by default), each of a map's sounds that has a Halo PC sound tag file of its name in the data root's tags folder plays from it (port/linux/game/loose_sounds.c); loose_sounds_reload and loose_sounds at the console read them again or give the map's back. The files' samples are made the Xbox ADPCM this build plays through the Custom Edition converter, so no channel pools change and stock maps play as before. The override is written into the map's definition in place, keeping the counters the game updates; a change stops every sound and flushes the sound cache first, and old samples are freed once no cache block holds them. A split sound's length is its chain's.
The sound cache is HALO_PORT_SOUND_CACHE_SIZE: 16 MB on desktop, the Xbox's 4 MB on Android, with the debug view's buffer sized to match.
The powerup bounds of #117 move from source/models/models.c to port/linux/game/powerup_render_bounds.c, called from scenario_tags_load beside the other tags-loaded hooks, so the game's models.c no longer takes <xtl.h> and D3D buffer locks. It uses square_root and a relative margin in place of sqrtf and nextafterf, which strict gnu89 does not declare, and the objects.h scale change is marked as the port's. tools/test_powerup_bounds.py is dropped: it redeclares the engine's types by hand and CI does not run it.
On bloodgulch the active camouflage's render radius grows from 0.1 to 0.23 and the overshield's from 0.1 to 0.21; no other equipment changes.
A client joining a game on a Custom Edition map checked only that it had a
file of that name. With another version of the map (an older release, a
re-edit), its tags are not the host's: the objects, weapons and vehicles the
host sends are other things there, and the game desyncs or crashes.
The host now sends its map file's header checksum as the game record's map
version, which the Xbox game always left 0, and a client whose copy has
another checksum leaves with an error saying so and where to copy the
host's. The record's layout is unchanged: a host that sends 0 (an older
one, or the game's own maps, whose builds of other regions play together)
is not checked, and older clients ignore the field.
A client joining a game on a map it does not have (a Custom Edition map
not in custom_maps, or one of the game's own not in maps) now leaves with
an error naming the map and where to copy it, instead of the damaged disc
error. It also says when the map cannot run there or the host names a
Custom Edition map as other versions do. The port's error texts wrap to
their dialog, in the smaller font when they would not fit.
Network version 22: hosts now name Custom Edition maps custom_maps\<name>,
which older clients cannot load or explain; they are told to update.
Custom Edition maps are loaded from the custom_maps folder, as level
custom_maps\<name>, apart from the game's own maps of the same name. The
map lists get CUSTOM SINGLEPLAYER and CUSTOM MULTIPLAYER, by the scenario
type in the map: a custom singleplayer map plays as a campaign level, or
as network co-op from the Map screen; a custom multiplayer map plays as a
multiplayer map. A map with an OpenSauce header that asks for nothing of
OpenSauce's runs as stock Custom Edition runs it.
Import only independently reviewed production changes. Preserve canonical physics and virtual-keyboard repairs; keep B3 and all unresolved holds out.
Record exactly four approved canary debits (6987 meaningful bytes), six Halo admissions and two revocations. Keep vendor ioinit/storage work separate. Full build, 8252-row sweep, 1318 tests, park/admission/fake audits and 621-object binding pass within approved debit bounds.
Do not publish donor research dumps or private assets. README and unrelated user research remain untouched. See frontier_publication_reconciliation_20260927.md for complete evidence limits and accounting.
