# NOT TONIGHT — Fleet Asset Notes

*What already exists on John's network that this game can reuse, borrow from, or
generate with. Sourced from the fleet-wide `ASSET_INVENTORY_2026-07-18.md` and
`GAME_ASSET_AUDIT_2026-07-18.md` (both on ultra `~/Documents/`). Compiled
2026-07-19.*

**Context for lanes:** v0.1–0.3 use PROCEDURAL placeholder art (coloured-pixel
paper-doll, synthesized audio) — nothing below is needed before the v0.4 art pass.
This doc exists so the art pass starts from the library, not from scratch. Nothing
here changes the `renderDoll` / layer contracts.

## Directly relevant (v0.4 art pass)

### 1. 90sDJsim paper-doll wardrobe — the big one
`ultra:~/Documents/90sDJsim/web/world/media/doll/` — **441 authored clothing
sprites** across tops/bottoms/shoes/hats/bags, brand-flavoured (coogi, dr_martens,
nike_air_max, moschino, quiksilver, kmart, disruptor_ii…), dynamically loaded by
`os.listdir` slot convention.
- **Reuse the taxonomy**: their slot/brand/type naming should inform
  `data/outfits.ts` vocabulary (we already have shoes/legs/top/outer/hair/accessory
  — cross-check their catalog for types we missed, e.g. bucket hats, bumbags).
- **Reuse the art via pixelation**: 90s wardrobe reads perfectly as 2026 Valley
  fashion-in-quotes. A downscale/quantize pass (sprite → 32×48 palette-locked
  pixel layer) could convert the catalog into real doll layers. Prototype on 10
  sprites before committing — pixelated photo-sprites can look mushy; may need a
  cleanup pass or MODELBEAST-assisted redraw per sprite.

### 2. Drunk/idle/dance animation references
`ultra:~/Documents/90sDJsim/web/world/models/` — 22 ped GLBs + **9 anim clip GLBs
incl. `walk_drunk`, idle, sit** (from the shared `character_kit` rig). Plus
`ultra:~/Documents/MOTIONLIB/` — 2,703 motion/anim FBX.
- Option A (cheap): use `walk_drunk` etc. as *visual reference* for hand-animating
  the pixel sway/stumble frames.
- Option B (pipeline): pre-render `character_kit` characters + MOTIONLIB clips to
  top-down sprite-sheet rotations for the Floor scene (Blender orthographic cam →
  pixelate). Heavier, but gives unlimited consistent NPC animation. Decide at v0.4;
  the doll contract's `floorTopDown` pose doesn't care which path wins.

### 3. Venue / street reference art
- `ultra:~/Documents/90sDJsim/web/world/media/` named scene/venue art — 100 wired
  widescreen club/venue images. Mood reference for our neon-dark interiors.
- `gdrive:ASSETS FROM AI` (2.47 GB, 3,239 files) + `gdrive:IMAGE-DATABASE`
  (794 MB, 26,910 files) — prior AI-gen pools; sweep for club/street/neon/night
  material before generating fresh.
- m4pro SPACEY `MRP PHOTOSHOP FILES` (4.4 GB PSDs) — design-language source
  (posters/flyers could become in-game wall dressing). m4pro is HANDS-OFF; access
  via the SMB mount on m3ultra if needed.

### 4. Generation pipeline (MODELBEAST)
m3ultra central queue :8777 (see fleet skill). For NOT TONIGHT this is an
**image generator, not a mesh generator** — we need no GLBs. Useful for: patron
face/outfit reference sheets to hand-pixel from, venue backdrop concepts, Dazza's
contact photo, joke ID photos. The thriftgod `gen_assets.py` + 640px `sips`
convention (m3ultra `~/Documents/thriftgod/`) is a proven prompt→asset-dir pattern
worth cloning for an `art_src/` pipeline here.

## Explicitly NOT for this game

- **All 3D mesh libraries** (`3D=models`, `3D-STORE`, FBX, femalemeshed,
  NPCFACTORY, MODELBEAST GLB output) — no 3D in this game; only via the Option-B
  prerender path above, never at runtime.
- **Audio archives** (bandcamp ~1 TB, YT-AUDIO, MONSTER MIXES). The design is
  locked to a fully synthesized WebAudio techno engine (design §5 / LANE_JUICE) —
  the low-pass location trick needs a synth we control, and shipping archive audio
  is a licensing minefield. John's own MONSTER MIXES are legally his — park the
  idea of a licensed-mix easter egg (jukebox in the kebab shop?) as a someday-note.
- **dealgod image pool** (2.4M product photos) + `recordgod_disc_images` — product
  photography, wrong domain. (One cursed exception: pat-down contraband items
  could be pixelated from real dealgod product shots. Someday-note.)
- **thriftgod 2D dressing** — authored 640px painterly JPGs, wrong style; its
  *pipeline* is the reusable part (see §4).

## Ground rules for the eventual art pass

**Licensing: none needed.** This is a private tailnet sandbox game, never public —
John's call (2026-07-19). Anything on the fleet or gdrive is fair game, including
the audio archives and MONSTER MIXES. (If that ever changes and the game goes
public, this section is the checklist to revisit first.)

1. Everything funnels through the existing contracts (`renderDoll` poses, outfit
   slots) — art swaps in behind interfaces, callers never change.
2. One palette, one pixel density (32×48 queue dolls at 640×360) decided ONCE
   before any batch conversion; retrofitting mixed densities is the classic trap.
3. Log each imported batch (source → transform → dest) in this file — not for
   licensing, just so we can regenerate/retrace later.
4. Check the MeshGod gallery + MODELBEAST `data/` (m3ultra) before generating
   anything — the inventory's rule "catalog before regenerating" applies here too.
5. The synthesized techno engine stays the core soundtrack (the location-filter
   trick needs a synth we control), but real archive audio is now allowed as
   layers/easter eggs — e.g. MONSTER MIXES on a kebab-shop jukebox, real crowd
   ambience beds under the synth.
