m3ultra 9eb1acc61b Lane D (Citizens): deterministic LOD crowd — rigs/impostors/keepers + test page
Populate the town at city scale, on budget, deterministic per-citizen identity:
- rigs.js — ported 90sDJsim rig stack: mixamorig canonicalisation so one shared
  walk clip drives all 19 peds, head-bone height-normalise, feet-plant, pooled
  near-tier actors with walk<->idle crossfade
- impostor.js — 4-yaw sprite-atlas baker + instanced billboards: whole mid crowd
  in 1 draw call, tone-matched to the ACES near rigs
- sim.js — deterministic roster, footpath lanes off the street graph, near/mid/far
  LOD with hysteresis + hard 24-cap, staggered mixer budget, time-of-day density
- placeholder.js — seeded low-poly box humanoids (frame-one population + ?noassets)
- keepers.js — one keeper per shop at the counter, idle + greet-turn
- 21 ped GLBs (byte-identical from 90sDJsim), citizens_test.html harness,
  LANE_D_NOTES.md, 5 beauty shots

Verified in-browser: 200 citizens at max mixer 0.2ms (budget 2ms), near capped 24,
determinism holds (200 identities match seed), no T-pose, ?noassets crash-free.
Consumes Lane A plan.streets with zero adapter. Six adversarial-review bugs fixed
(non-deterministic fleet order, shared-resource disposal on pool eviction,
impostor colour-management).

PROCITY

A standalone, procedurally generated, fully walkable 90s-Australian shopping town — every building enterable (the Vuntra City trick), every interior seeded and themed: record stores, op shops, toy shops, book barns, video rental, pawnbrokers, milk bars, market stalls. Built on the proven house stack (three.js r175 vendored, plain JS, no build step) and the asset DNA of 90sDJsim + thriftgod. v1 is the system; the GODVERSE/BaseGod real-item content plugs in later.

Run

cd web && python3 -m http.server 8130
# http://localhost:8130            (game shell — Lane B)
# http://localhost:8130/map.html   (2D plan debugger — Lane A)

Read first

  • docs/CITY_SPEC.md — the treaty: schema, units, seeds, budgets, file ownership.
  • docs/RESEARCH.md — what the parent repos already solved, with exact paths to port from.

The lanes (parallel Opus 4.8 sessions)

Each lane is a self-contained prompt. To run one, start an Opus session in this repo and say: "Read docs/LANES/LANE_X_….md and execute it." AE are parallel-safe (disjoint files, standalone test pages); F integrates after they land.

lane mission owns
A — CITYGEN seed → CityPlan data (streets, blocks, lots, shops) + 2D map js/citygen, js/core/registry.js, map.html
B — STREETSCAPE chunk-streamed instanced 3D town + game shell index.html, js/world
C — INTERIORS every door opens: seeded themed shop interiors js/interiors, interior_test.html
D — CITIZENS rigged-near / impostor-far NPCs + shopkeepers js/citizens, citizens_test.html, models/
E — ASSETS audit ultra's library, normalize GLBs, skins, manifest pipeline/, assets/
F — INTEGRATION wire AE into one seed-to-town game + QA gates (after AE)

Already in the repo

  • web/vendor/ — three.js r175 + addons (vendored from 90sDJsim; no CDN at runtime).
  • web/assets/gen/ — 69 generated texture skins (25 shopfront facades, 10 skies, 10 grounds, 8 wallpapers, 16 interior surfaces) inherited from thriftgod + 90sDJsim, style-locked.
  • web/js/core/ — frozen shared modules: prng.js (seeded-everything law), loaders.js (fail-soft promise-cached GLB/texture + 3GOD depot), canvas.js (text planes).

House laws (short form — CITY_SPEC has the fine print)

Seeded everything, Math.random banned in gen code · the game must run with zero assets · instancing from day one · canvas text, no font files · characters = shared base rigs + one clip bank, canonical sources live outside this repo · 🟢 web-ok licensing only.
