📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe renderer updates correct rectangular mip generation, DDS block handling, thumbnail selection, MSAA fallback, anisotropy capability reporting, DXT1 alpha fallback, and skinned mesh diffuse colors across WW3D2 targets. ChangesRenderer and Texture Fidelity
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The PR improves texture and rendering behavior, but the current head can calculate incorrect offsets for later levels in rectangular compressed DDS mip chains, causing texture data to be read incorrectly. This bounded correctness issue should be fixed before merging; the missing upstream references are a minor follow-up. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift
Compute every compressed mip size from that level's dimensions.
For a DXT1 4x16 DDS, the retained levels require 32, 16, and 8 bytes. The existing level_size /= 4 logic produces 32, 8, and 8 bytes after the first level. This sets later LevelOffsets inside the preceding mip data.
Use Calculate_DXTC_Surface_Size for each logical source level when building LevelSizes. Use the same calculation for Load() skip offsets. Apply the same fix in both variants.
Generals/Code/Libraries/Source/WWVegas/WW3D2/ddsfile.cpp#L247-L248: derive each retained and skipped DXT level size from its rounded block dimensions.GeneralsMD/Code/Libraries/Source/WWVegas/WW3D2/ddsfile.cpp#L239-L240: apply the identical per-level size and offset calculation.

Summary
Rationale
The existing paths can silently discard authored mip intent, stop rectangular mip chains early, allocate oversized sparse-DDS thumbnails, degrade unsupported anisotropy to point filtering, or disable MSAA instead of selecting the next supported mode. Skinned rendering also overrides authored vertex colors and leaves global lighting state behind.
These changes keep the existing DX8/DXVK architecture and settings while making capability fallbacks and texture/material behavior explicit. They affect rendering and asset preparation only; no gameplay or serialized simulation state changes.
Validation
AI assistance
GitHub Copilot assisted with code tracing, implementation, edge-case generation, and documentation. I consolidated overlapping implementations, rejected unsafe alternatives, reviewed sparse/rectangular DDS edge cases, built both games, and replay-tested the exact local candidate before submission.
