Research Artifacts

Reverse Engineering Artifact Inventory

The Wiki includes every prose research note from re_probes as an English page. Large generated artifacts remain in the repository's re_probes/ tree: copying multi-gigabyte .resources, .texdb, images, archives, and temporary failures into a GitHub Wiki would duplicate data and exceed GitHub file-size limits.

Inventory at generation time: 1,918 files, 7.4 GiB total.

Newest Research (added 2026-10-01)

Nine more rounds of research landed since this inventory was generated — their reports live in re_probes/agent_reports/ (r2_*.md through r10_modtestmap.md) and are published as their own Research-Report-R<round>-<Topic> pages; Reverse Engineering Research lists all of them. Rounds 2 to 5:

• Round 2: Missionhud, Mapnodlc, Ainav, Tilechain, Md6anim, Tnomodels, Wwisereplace, Videoreplace, Newassets, Maplightstairs
• Round 3: Animdecode, Tileinner, Tnoskinned, Newassetsv, Mapselfcontained, Missionsetter, Newweapon, Npcswap, Swfui, Kisculeref, Navdata
• Round 4: Console-Commands, Model-Import, Strings, Pickups, Ai-Decls, Savegame, Materials, Tno-Custom-Maps, Sound-Events, Ai-Spawn-Waves, Integrity
• Round 5: Kiscule-Command

All of it is static (disassembly/container reading over a snapshot or the files on disk), except where a page explicitly says a change was confirmed by starting the real game. Two topics from this batch — the console/Cvar restriction (round 4, Console-Commands) and the Kiscule Command node that reaches it from inside a map script (round 5, Kiscule-Command) — are written up together with their in-game confirmation on TNC Console Unlock; the full round-3 Kiscule node catalogue (Kisculeref, re_probes/kisculeref/catalogue.json, see the new kisculeref row below) is written up on Kiscule Node Reference. Both pages keep the PROVEN/INFERRED split explicit rather than flattening it.
