Fallout: Colorado Vault 69 [v4.5.1] By Terte

VAULT 69 – BUILD 4.5.1 – PROSE PASS

Revised 148 passages across the opening, character introductions and histories, common events, investigations, relationships, endings, and tutorial. The pass replaces vague references with concrete actions, trims repeated explanations of gestures, clarifies what choices mean, and states consequences more directly. The Bina and Hedda dialogue also agrees more closely with the story/

Examples:

• Before: “I have been keeping the room’s temperature for Hedda since the first week.”
  After: “I have been calming people down for Hedda since the first week.”
• Before: “The pause does the talking.”
  After: “Your silence makes the rumor harder to deny.”
• Before: “You keep it to the size of the room. She laughs once, properly, and files it somewhere.”
  After: “You joke about the day. She laughs, then adds a joke of her own.”
• Validation: all 20 embedded scripts parse. Comparing their structure before and
  after the pass found no changes to non-text logic or embedded expressions.
  Twelve representative scenes rendered in a Chromium browser without page errors.
  This was an editorial pass and scene check, not a complete playthrough.
• Extract the full folder and open “Vault 69.html”. Keep the art folder beside it.

OPENING REWRITE (post-seal)

• Rewrote intro_door, intro_speech, intro_manifest, intro_suit, intro_orient,
• intro_tour and intro_verdict. The women were told women go first and the men
• would follow on a second call; the door sealed on the men. Scene IDs, options,
• flags, blame/relationship calls and script order are unchanged. Two helpers
• (_iN, _iL) read names and each woman’s `lost` from the cast, so mods still work.
• First day is now work-free: shiftToday() returns “First day” on day 1,
• onShift() is false, sleeping through the day isn’t counted as a missed block,
• and unranked residents drift between dorm, mess and corridor instead of posts.

WINDOWS AND MOODS

• A paragraph that is only “~mood” starts a new window. The player pages with
• Continue; choices appear on the last window. Moods: chaos, shock, fury, tense,
• grief, dread, tender, numb (CSS on #sitBox, off under reduced motion).
• Any scene can use it; scenes without “~” render as before.

SIREN

• art/sfx/klaxon loops from intro_door until the seal moment; cut ~1.4s before the seal picture ends. Stops on mute.
• Siren is now art/sfx/siren.ogg/.m4a (new, loud, seamless 6s loop). klaxon was ~-32 dB and buried under the music.

SCENE STANDEES

• While a scene is open, its people stand in the viewport: the subject, whoever speaks in the window on screen (latest first), the second woman, and anyone who answered. Up to the room cap (3 classic / spots in depth mode), then the room fills as before. Baked plates (SCENES.sit pictures with people painted in, tier-1 baked rooms) are left alone. A SCENES.sit plate that is just an empty room (e.g. intro_tour -> plant) now gets standees.

ORIENTATION REEL

• art/orientation.webm/.mp4: sloppy Rocky-Tec reel played on the Rocky-Tec pull-down cinema screen when intro_orient opens, Hedda standee beside it (cinema.play opt.presenter). Scene text rewritten around it

The S.L.O.P.P.Y. assessment film (art/sloppy.mp4) moved off the intake sheet onto the schoolroom projector.
