The item-tooltip zero fix (#16).

Items could drop with a mod line reading "0 poison damage over 0 seconds", and
'of Frost' gear could show "+0 Cold Damage": the item-stat tooltip formatter's
single-value elemental/poison branches called the wide-string formatter without the
numeric varargs (a latent retail-1.14d bug the fork's build layout makes visible), so
any roll whose range collapsed to min==max printed stack residue instead of the value
('of Frost' weapons roll cold-max 1..2 with cold-min fixed at 1 — every drop that
rolled a 1 collapsed; poison collapses through the length rounding). Display-side only —
item stats and generation were never wrong.

• Field-verified by the owner the same day (SMOKE §J items 37–38 proven at tag).
• Gates 308 → 311; self-ID Vanilla+0.0.7-R84 (d2boot.log line 1 pins the exe).

R85 — Vanilla+ 0.0.7-R85 — 2026-11-02 — tag R85 @ 71f4772f

The A1Q2 "Sisters' Burial Grounds" turn-in fix (#22).

Blood Raven killed, but Kashya's reward (the rogue mercenary) could not be claimed:
the A1Q2 gossip table was emitted singular (accept line only) while the handler reads
slot 3 whenever RewardAwaits is set — the same truncated-gossip-table regen defect as
#13. The turn-in line never
existed, so the reward gate was never asked. Table widened to 5 slots (slot 3 = turn-in
line 0x5c, pinned by the quest's own gate; flavor slots left empty rather than
invented) + 7 Kashya chain marks for one-log diagnosis.

• Field-proven — the owner closed the issue 2026-11-02, the same day.
• Gates 311 → 320; self-ID Vanilla+0.0.7-R85.
• R88 note: upstream later recovered the retail-exact 6-slot table (with the flavor
  lines the fork had left empty); the hand-build was retired at R88, notes kept.

R86 — Vanilla+ 0.0.7-R86 — 2026-11-02 — tag R86 @ 3ca2da40

The -nointro boot switch.

d2vp.exe -nointro skips the boot intro videos — the Blizzard / Blizzard North logo
.biks that play on every launch plus the auto-played title/first-run cinematics — by
never entering cutscene mode: both boot/title entries take the retail begin-failed path
straight to the next screen. Writes a [vp] cmdline -nointro mark to d2boot.log.
In-game quest cutscenes are unaffected; boot without the switch is byte-for-byte
vanilla.

• Field-verified 2026-11-02 — "R86 verified, -nointro works" (SMOKE §K items 39–40).
• Gates 320 → 326; self-ID Vanilla+0.0.7-R86.

R87 — Vanilla+ 0.0.7-R87 — 2026-11-02 — tag R87 @ 486b936c

The first upstream sync of the 0.0.7 line — merge b2937091: upstream 18 commits,
Ghidra DB 1806 → 1839, byte match 6,029 → 6,232 of 14,642 functions (18.40% → 19.50% of
bytes). Vanilla+ intact on top.

What came in:

• Ghidra 1807–1813 regen rounds (packet/roster/monster/subtile parameters,
  SkillDesc/OOG types, zero-init/signed compares) and generator rounds (loop gate +
  signed division, folded-store arm order, range tests as lo <= x && x <= hi).

• The VC8 harness + CI deps (upstream PR jaenster#32); dtchitt issue jaenster#37–jaenster#76 names; names for
  3,500 variables/fields + Storm PowerPC names + the new D2Hell file.

• Real behavior fixes: roster party ids uint16_t throughout (joining a game no longer
  hangs in the party-grouping loop); three value-bug fixes (wide char literal, byte-mask
  select, Win32 calls shadowed by thunks) with VC8 near-miss type fixes.

• Merge-side latent fix: DRAW_ShouldDrawEdges had returned 0 unconditionally since the
  0.0.6 merge port — wide modes never drew level edges; caught and restored during
  resolution.

• Field-run green — "Finally, builds, runs, no regressions." Gates 326/326.

R88 — Vanilla+ 0.0.7-R88 — merge 1d401785; tag after field verify

The second upstream sync — upstream 9 commits (c8445e73..bc47c6bc), Ghidra DB
1839 → 1851, byte match 6,232 → 6,242 of 14,642 functions (19.50% → 19.54% of bytes);
22 conflicts / 27 hunks resolved, Vanilla+ intact on top.

Synced:

• Types/prototypes from Commit-Will's, Niehztog's and Nugwa628's proposals; the third
  naming round with Mac cross-check types (CLIENTMODE_WaitForQServerConnection,
  MAINMENU_OnPressSkipEmailAddress, Objects_InitFnNN_<role>, StaticInit_gpsz*).
• QUESTLOG_HitTestCloseButton returns bool; affix rollers take bSpawnableOnly, not
  bIsSuffix; fnGetDatabaseFileTime is __fastcall(FILETIME *);
  D2Sha1ContextStrc is 0x60 bytes.

The supersession ledger opens — upstream recovered the retail forms of two fork
fixes; the fork takes them ("upstream wins") and keeps the root-cause notes in code:

• The R54/R85 gossip hand-tables (#13
  / #22): upstream's
  bc47c6bc restored the retail tables verbatim — A1Q1 8 / A1Q2 6 / A2Q1 9 slots —
  plus the flavor string ids the fork had left empty rather than invent. All 39
  aNpcGossipData externs are now sized retail-exact (28 were unsized pre-merge): the
  ~17-quest singular-table watch (track J) resolves wholesale.
• vanilla-plus fix 16 (Defect 13: SFX silent, music OK): upstream's
  D2FloatIntUnion is the same root cause in the retail-faithful form (.fValue
  store, integer .nValue read-back).
• Sound constants: upstream's exact decoded decimals
  (9.999999747378752e-05 = the float32 0.0001 promotion) replace the fork's
  spellings; the -2000.0 centibel diagnosis stays (upstream ships the same scale).

Checked and not superseded: the issue #11 [glide fix 11] hook — still fork-side
(re-planted at the R87 merge); the glide3x.dll wrapper ships from the Glide3xVK
branch, which upstream does not carry.

• Gates: 10 stale expectations updated to the superseding state with R87-merge notes
  (epsilon ×4, the -2000.0 cast, gossip sizes ×6, Bloodraven 0x5c ×2 — retail
  carries bMenu 0 and bMenu 2 variants); self-ID row pinned Vanilla+0.0.7-R88.
  Suite 326/326.
