- *
- * The classic Diablo II files (`string.tbl`, `expansionstring.tbl`,
- * `patchstring.tbl`) use exactly this layout. A later "extended" variant adds a
- * hash table of name/value pairs on top; the community Go package implements
- * that variant instead, so unlike the other formats in this directory **there is
- * no independent decoder to diff this one against** — it is checked by
- * construction (write a table, read it back, including non-ASCII) and is on the
- * list to confirm against a real `string.tbl`.
- *
- * Unused indices are legal: an offset that is zero, or that points past the
- * table, decodes to `undefined` rather than an empty string, so a caller can
- * tell "no such string" from "empty string".

+// 之前解码器按 0..24 顺序存入 subTileFlags，导致每个格子内部的阻挡带被上下镜像。
+//
+// 两个官方/引擎逆向实现互相印证：
+// 1. OpenDiablo2 `reference/opendiablo2/d2core/d2map/d2mapengine/map_tile.go:17`:
+//    var subtileLookup = [5][5]int{
+//        {20, 21, 22, 23, 24},   // 房间子格 (x, 0) —— 最上面一行，读文件 20..24

+//        {5, 6, 7, 8, 9},
+//        {0, 1, 2, 3, 4},        // 最下面一行，读文件 0..4

+//    `pTmp = &v5[5 * (nY - nCappedY + 4) - nX];` 配合循环 `pTmp -= 5;`，对房间第 r 行取文件第 (4-r) 行。
+//
+// 本脚本作为永久验收测试，确保：

+ * Verify the `.cof` and `.dcc` decoders against the real Diablo II archives.
+ *
+ * The Sorceress is the interesting case because her art is COF+DCC only: a COF
+ * names no sprite files, so the run has to reconstruct the DCC path from the
+ * COF's own name plus each layer record's composite type, then decode every
+ * layer of every direction and frame and confirm it produced opaque pixels. A
+ * decoder that silently returned zeroed frames would pass a "does it throw?"
+ * test and fail this one.
+ *
+ * Object art (barrels, chests, urns, doors) goes through the same path from the
+ * data archive, so a regression that only affects non-character art or
+ * single-direction animations is caught too.
+ *
+ * After the gated checks the script sweeps the whole Sorceress DCC set. That
+ * sweep is what puts a real number on the `bottom-up` frame flag: the decoder
+ * flips those frames vertically, the reference implementation panics on them
+ * instead, and nothing else in this project can tell how often that judgement
+ * call is exercised. Sweep failures are reported with their exact reason but do
+ * not fail the run, because the run's exit code is defined by the walk/stand
+ * members the renderer depends on.
+ *
+ * Nothing here grades its own homework: every assertion is about bytes read out
+ * of a Blizzard archive the user supplied.
+ *

+//
+// 这份脚本存在的原因是一次真实事故：地面引用在 `buildIsoMapScene()` 里以 `type = null` 走
+// **类型无关**的兜底池，池子里混着地面、墙、柱子、影子、树、屋顶。加上"按 RarityFrameIndex
+// 加权随机选变体"之后，地面槽位会随机挑到石墙/柱子瓦片，而地面绘制不做墙那套
+// `minBlockY + 80` 补偿 —— 于是画面里出现"悬在地面上的暗色方块"（35 关实测 1,918/28,704
+// 个地面槽位画错类型，修道院大教堂 28.2%、地下墓穴 4 层 41.5%）。
+//
+// 现在地面按 DT1 `type 0` 解析，这里把当年的普查变成永久断言：
+//   1. 地面槽位画出的瓦片 `type` 必须是 0；
+//   2. 墙/屋顶槽位不得画出地面瓦片（type 0）；
+//   3. `looseRefs == 0`（没有任何引用走类型无关兜底）与 `missingTiles == 0`——
+//      这两条合起来保证"画出的类型 == 引用的类型"；
+//   4. 位置自洽：地面 `y == (cx+cy)*40` 且瓦片 `minBlockY == 0`；
+//      墙 `y == (cx+cy)*40 + minBlockY + 80`；屋顶 `y == (cx+cy)*40 - roofHeight`；
+//   5. 顶角（DS1 `type 3`）必须连带画出左半（`type 4`）——引擎在
+//      `DRLGROOMTILE_InitWallTileData` 里就是这么做的，DS1 自己从不列左半。
