Hails 8327e94090 Setup performance: skip duplicate stream copies, parallel customiser
- Skip decoding identical streamed asset copies (DownTown streams 107.8 -> 24.8 s)
- Run the character customiser beside the map stage (memory-gated)
- Build.ps1 builds the native RefPack DLL for dev checkouts
- Clothing library texture warm-up and pro roster run in worker processes
  (library 126.5 -> 51.2 s, roster 89.6 -> 15.9 s); shared caches are
  published first-writer-wins to avoid Windows rename races
- pipeline-equivalence.json: combined pairs (committed -> PR F+G)

Outputs proven identical (8,288 customiser files; all maps/spawns).
One-time customiser rebuild. See docs/hails-additions/08-setup-performance.md (PR G).

Hails' additions

Changes made in the Hailey-Ross fork of SK8-ENGINE/skate-3-rust-engine, documented so upstream maintainers have the full context when reviewing a pull request: what broke, why, what changed, how it was verified, and what is still open.

Each document stands alone. File paths are relative to the repository root.

# Change Area Status
1 ISO extraction argument order Setup (Python) Done, verified with a real ISO
2 Windows long paths during setup Setup (Python) Done; UAC path not exercised end to end
3 SDL3 gamepad input Game (Rust), build scripts, vendored sdl3-sys Done, verified in play with an Xbox Elite Series 2
4 Authored map spawns Asset pipeline (Python) Done, all 10 maps confirmed in play
5 Invisible collision volumes Game data loader (Rust) Done, all four affected maps confirmed in play

Environment used for verification

  • Windows 11, Intel i7-14700KF, NVIDIA RTX 4080 SUPER (Vulkan).
  • Rust 1.98.1 (MSVC), Visual Studio 2026 C++ tools, Windows SDK 10.0.26100, LLVM 23.1.2, Python 3.13.15.
  • Skate 3 Xbox 360 disc image (103 files, 6,404,940,920 bytes).
  • Xbox Elite Series 2 controller over Bluetooth LE.

Conventions

  • Upstream behaviour is preserved unless a document says otherwise; where a behaviour changes on purpose (for example, a map's default spawn), the document lists the old and new values.
  • Project choices that are not dictated by retail data are called out as such, so maintainers can overrule them.
