All five Root Towns are now ported. The two added are Fort Ouph (game.town 3, server Sigma, town04.rs) and Lia Fail (4, Omega, town05.rs). The owner wanted every town playable, so they came in ahead of the Outbreak and Quarantine stories. The console's town N reaches all five from any disc.

Both classes are Outbreak's: ROOTTOWN04 and ROOTTOWN05 in OUT gcmn, the same size as Quarantine's. Infection's executable has earlier builds of both that no disc reaches, as it does for ROOTTOWN03 (218). Outbreak's carried names cover only the constructors, DrawBG and DrawMap. The other methods were found through the vtables:

Fort Ouph

Fort Ouph is Dun Loireag's pattern without the water.

• The constructor (0x00439c50):
  • town04, or town04d in crisis.
  • Fog SetFog(1500, 10000, 0, 30, 0x00c8f0fb), and the background the same pale warm colour.
  • 16 STATICMODELs and one STATICOBJECT.
  • The sky CMP_sr4bac1, the sun CMP_sr4sun1, and three cloud clumps.
  • In crisis, CMP_sr4dat1_1-3.
  • Six lights (LGT_sr4lig1, LGT_sr4omn1-5).
  • town_z's 25 CLOUDs and LENSFLARE.
• DrawBG. Two scrolls step each frame, by 0.01 and 0.002.
  • The cloud materials take the first in U. Dun Loireag's take V.
  • The sky goes on bgLayer[0], the sun at DMY_sr4lig1point on [1], and the crisis clumps on [2]-[4].
  • The cloud clumps go on bgLayer[5] (-50). Dun Loireag puts them on effLayer. The WORLD_MAN offsets +0x494 .. +0x4a8 are bgLayer[0] .. [5], confirmed against Infection's ROOTTOWN02::DrawBG.
• Draw.
  • DrawBG, then DrawObj2, DrawObj, DrawFloor and DrawMap.
  • The lens flare, then the clouds.
  • No type-0 rows.

Lia Fail

• The constructor (0x0043c5e0):
  • town05 only; there is no crisis file.
  • Fog (1500, 10000, 0, 75, 0x00f0c080), Dun Loireag's colour.
  • 7 STATICMODELs and no objects.
  • The sky CMP_sr5bac1.
  • 20 lights: LGT_fdirect01 and LGT_omni01-19.
  • Six ccEffs of the lens flare, which nothing draws.
  • 19 ccEffs of EFF_se1_1ef1 at DMY_omnpoint01-19, each with a pattern, a wait and a flicker count from fieldrand.
• DrawBG steps three scrolls that nothing reads, and draws the sky on bgLayer[0].
• Draw.
  • DrawBG, the three passes, DrawMap, then the type-0 rows.
  • The 19 glows on effLayer.
  • A waiting glow draws its pattern and steps it, back to 0 at patNum.
  • When its wait runs out, it flickers: a random pattern each frame for its count, then new wait and flicker counts.

What else they needed

• Minimaps. TownMap takes RT04ICONPOS/RT05ICONPOS and each constructor's stepw/steph: 0.8 for Fort Ouph, 2.0 for Lia Fail. They draw on the later volumes' own layers. Carmina Gade's map now opens on Infection's disc too.
• Music. Every town's bank loads and sounds on Infection's disc (every_town_has_music).
• Already per town. The start places (SetCharPosition), the static tables and the NPCs needed nothing. Lia Fail's walking PCs (the Cossack Leader by the gate) come up from the tables as they are.

Checks

The two towns' tests pass:

• town04::tests::constructor and first_draw: 16 rows, the object, six lights, the crisis clumps, and the DrawBG order;
• town05::tests::constructor and a_frame: 7 rows, 20 lights, 19 points, and the glows' first step.

Headless shots through town 3 and town 4 show each town, its Chaos Gate and its minimap with signs. The whole workspace's tests pass (705).
