The prior PlaceMarker() reading ("center at markerX0+x") was wrong.
Binary Ninja elides gmMapUI::PlaceMarkerOnMap @0x004a18b0's entire FPU
chain to bare, operand-less _ftol2() calls, so the pseudo-C
under-specifies the function. A capstone disassembly of the raw bytes
in the PDB-paired acclient.exe recovers the real formula: retail
projects the AC display coordinate (range ~-102.4..102.4) onto the
marker-area rect via a fixed-point-style transform, not a raw pixel
add:
X = m_x0 - w/2 - (int)((m_x1-m_x0+1) * (x*10+1024) * (-1/2048))
Y = m_y0 - h/2 - (int)((m_y1-m_y0+1) * (2047-(y*10+1024)) * (-1/2048))
Constants read directly from .rdata: 0x79bac8=10.0, 0x7aac78=1024.0,
0x7aac70=-1/2048, 0x7aac68=2047.0. The Y axis's FSUBR is retail's
north-up flip. w/h halve with truncating integer division (matching
retail's cdq;sub;sar idiom), not float division.
Extracted the pure math into MapPageController.ComputeMarkerPosition
so it's directly testable, and retargeted MapPageControllerTests to
GOLDEN PIXEL values computed independently from the formula (never
from the port's own output): the reviewer's canonical (0,0)->(122,128)
case, a far-west and far-north case, and a real town-table entry
(Arwic's landblock, cross-checked against RadarCoordinates). Applies
to the green ring, house pin, and all 53 static town hotspots, which
all resolve through the same PlaceMarker call.
Corrected the recon doc's "accepted as-is" note, which had mistaken
"the FPU argument-passing is BN-mangled" for a narrow issue instead of
the whole-formula elision it actually was.

Saves the overnight-round recon (embedded findings + this session's desk
verification) for auditability before implementation starts. Corrects two
handoff claims: the panel id is 16 (already resolved by the existing FA
campaign's full 16-slot gmPanelUI::SetupChildren dump, not a guess from
{1,2,6,14}), and GameEventType already defines all four House opcodes
(0x0225-0x0228) — what's missing is routing, not the enum. Identifies that
LandDefs.GidToLcoord/LcoordToGid (src/AcDream.Core/Physics/LandDefs.cs) is
an existing tested port of LandDefs::gid_to_lcoord, reusable for both the
Map tab's coordinate math and the House location display — no re-port
needed. Cites the toolbar button (0x1000019A, panel id 16), the 53-entry
s_rgLocations marker table verbatim, the ServerPosition wire struct reuse
for HouseData.Position, and the AuthoredTooltipText/RetailTooltipPresenter
seam that will close register row TS-85's last item (gmMapUI::AddMapNote).
