Campaign CH — round-4 in-client test script (2026-08-10 goal window)

One connected session, retail GUI. Covers everything changed since round 3. Launch as usual (ACDREAM_RETAIL_UI=1); no probe flags needed.

1. Jump-in-air — THE fix (root-caused this window)

  • Jump, press jump again mid-air → "You can't jump while in the air" flush at the very top of the viewport, small font, tell-yellow. This was three rounds of silence: the refusal always fired; the production controller-install path never wired the text callback (a5a7eb4f).
  • Jump while badly overloaded (if testable) → "You're too loaded down to jump" the same way.

2. On-screen text presentation (round-3 changes)

  • Text sits flush to the top (no 60px gap) in the 11px retail DAT font — visibly smaller than round 2. Color = incoming-tell yellow.
  • Recall: "In Portal Space - Please Wait..." now appears there too (small, top), NOT as big centered text — every rotation segment of the tunnel.
  • Report: position/font are best-available approximations (AP-178) — say what still differs from retail memory.

3. /help (round-3 rewrite)

  • /help → exactly TWO chat entries: the "Note: You may substitute a forward slash (/) for the at symbol (@)." line, then the 13-topic listing with retail's real one-liners.
  • /help death → the Note line, then "For more information, type @help ." running straight into the 8-line death/corpse listing.
  • /help somenonsenseverb → "Unknown command" (currently in chat, not the SpewBox — known gap #367, don't re-report).

4. Chat window shell (CH6a — includes the border restoration)

  • The main chat window is the authored retail layout: correct chrome, no artifacts, all four edges + all four corners draw their border art and resize (diagonal cursors on corners; the flat TOP edge is a MOVE handle in retail — the top corners resize).
  • Grow AND shrink from every corner, both axes (min 300×100, max 2000×2000).
  • Also eyeball the COMBAT, EXAMINE, POWERBAR (jump bar) and VITALS window borders — their Type-9 border art was silently blanked by the first CH6a landing and restored in the rework.

5. Floating chat windows (CH6b)

  • Alt+1 .. Alt+4 toggle the four floating chat windows (retail's default binding — NOT plain 1-4; rebindable in Settings).
  • Defaults: window 1 = speech/tells/emotes; 2 = allegiance-family (patron/vassal etc.); 3 = fellowship; 4 = the Turbine rooms (General/Trade/LFG/Roleplay).
  • The main window's 1/2/3/4 buttons LIGHT UP to mirror which floaties are open — clicking them does nothing (retail-faithful: they are pure indicators).
  • Each floaty: resizes from every edge/corner, moves by its title bar, has its own input line (sends as Say — #369 tracks the channel-share question), closes with its X, reopens with Alt+N, and its position/ visibility/filters survive a client restart.
  • A closed floaty accumulates lines while closed (open it after some fellowship chat and the lines are there).

6. Window opacity (CH6c) + the transparency setting

  • OUT OF THE BOX everything is fully opaque (retail-identical).
  • Settings → Chat: two linked sliders — "window opacity" (unfocused) and "active opacity" (focused). Lowering the first makes unfocused retail windows translucent; clicking into a window snaps it to the active value. Retail EASES this transition (~1s fade) — ours SNAPS for now (registered AP-190); note how it feels.
  • The sliders drag each other (raising unfocused above active pulls active up; lowering active pulls unfocused down) — retail's linking.
  • Apply on Save; persists across restart.

7. Ctrl+M (#358 — finally)

  • Ctrl+M mutes all audio; Ctrl+M again unmutes. (The binding had been added to a dead preset table; production never loaded it.)

Known-open, do not report as new

  • #367 unknown-command line in chat instead of SpewBox; #364 three /help group topics partial; #366 unseen-text chat indicator; #369 floaty send channel; #360-#362 command tails; AP-177 SpewBox line lifetime; AP-190 snap-not-ease opacity transition.
  • #368 headless collision thread-affinity (bot-host only, follow-up task exists). Headless bots hydrate and move again (#365 fixed) up to that defect.
