# Escapists Rereintroduced

Independent successor prototype for Arma Reforger, initially targeting vanilla Everon and up to 12 players. This repository is separate from the existing Escapists workspace. It is **not a completed or release-ready replacement**.

The primary deliverable is the rewritten base mission; companion migration follows it. See [base replacement responsibilities and gaps](docs/base-replacement.md).

Five independently identified Workbench projects live in `addons/core`, `addons/ai`, `addons/intel`, `addons/chat` and `addons/map`. Open `addons/core/addon.gproj` for the independent base scenario (`Missions/ERR_Everon_Base.conf`), or `addons/chat/addon.gproj` for the full companion integration scenario. Core owns essential document recovery and objective markers; companions enhance the base. The only external addon dependency is vanilla Arma Reforger. Required successor source resources are local to this repository; vanilla assets are referenced, not redistributed.

Run the background checks with Python 3 and a C++17 compiler:

```sh
python3 tools/check.py
```

These check the dependency graph, resource identities and isolated production policy functions. They do not replace Enfusion compilation or multiplayer testing.

The development scenario is `{C1E20667DCE324ED}Missions/ERR_Everon.conf`. Its world is `{B6C516F86302C679}Worlds/ERR_Everon.ent`. Local Workbench tests now compile the successor and complete a scripted prison → carried documents → interrupted radio defence → physical helicopter occupancy → victory sequence. This exercises mission transitions and native systems; the test teleports the character and helicopter and does not prove a manually playable escape, multiplayer correctness or improved FPS. The enclosure was moved to a surveyed clear site, its gate passes a native passage check, and both victory and helicopter-loss defeat repeat across round restart. Native vehicle-resource errors, manual gameplay validation, full support controllers and multiplayer validation still need work. A separate scripted test now covers actual character death, local spectator activation, all-dead defeat and restart. The Core-only fixture completes two rounds with 38 assertions, including native objectives and radio progress, while all four companions are unloaded.

See [architecture](docs/architecture.md), [migration status](docs/migration.md), [runtime testing](docs/runtime-testing.md) and [validation evidence](docs/validation.md). The acceptance ledger in `docs/acceptance.json` deliberately keeps unverified requirements pending.

No release package has been published. No licence has been assigned to third-party material. The original restricted Escapists implementation and mission compositions are not included.

The current base uses four authored site definitions and finite physical stock, including a separate supply cache. Mandatory documents target the radio explicitly. Core-only tests complete two rounds with 62 assertions covering stock loading, invalid definitions, cache depletion/loss, objectives and restart. See [site authoring](docs/site-authoring.md). These remain scripted checks; manual and multiplayer acceptance is pending.
