ISSUE: Rebecca Nod with 12 wins was ranked below Bot1 with 7 wins
ROOT CAUSE: String sorting treats '7' > '12' alphabetically
FIX: Zero-pad wins to 4 digits ('0007' vs '0012') for proper numerical string sorting
RESULT: Leaderboard now correctly sorts by actual win count (12 > 7)
Players with higher win counts will now properly rank higher on the leaderboard.

- Victory Text Display: Winner floaters show 'ULTIMATE VICTORY!' and 'ULTIMATE SURVIVOR'
- Timer System Optimization: Dedicated victory timer mode, removed unused timeout system
- Memory Efficiency: Cleaned up unused components for better performance
- Synchronized Celebration: Both scoreboard and floater systems celebrate winner simultaneously
- Visual Priority: Winner glow overrides peril glow during victory celebration
Professional winner recognition system makes victory feel rewarding and celebrated!
EMERGENCY OPTIMIZATION for player registration causing Stack-Heap Collision:
REPLACED ALL HEAVY STRING OPERATIONS IN PLAYER REGISTRATION:
- Game start rejection message -> delegated ownerMsg() + regionMsg()
- Bot join announcement -> delegated publicMsg()
- Human starter announcement -> delegated publicMsg()
- Human join announcement -> delegated publicMsg()
- Player added confirmation -> delegated ownerMsg()
ELIMINATED MEMORY HOTSPOTS:
- Complex emoji string concatenations during player join
- Multi-string concatenation operations in registration flow
- Heavy llSay() operations with complex formatting
- Memory-intensive llOwnerSay() with player name concatenation
This targets the exact operation that triggers Stack-Heap Collision
when players join the game.
Since emojis were not the cause of the syntax error, restoring all visual indicators:
- 👋 for JOIN/LEAVE messages
- ⚠️ for ERROR messages
- ✅ for SUCCESS messages
- 🔧 for DEBUG messages
- 🎮 for GAME messages
- 🔄 for WELCOME messages
- 📨 for script ready message
- 🔊 for verbose logging toggle
- 🔍 for debug logging
Maintains visual consistency with other game scripts while keeping the syntax fix.
- Changed variable name from 'state' to 'stateVal' on line 324
- Updated corresponding reference on line 325
- Eliminates potential reserved word conflict or invisible character issues
- Should resolve LSL syntax error at 324,19
CRITICAL MEMORY FIX: Reduce Main Controller memory usage by delegating string operations
CONTROLLER_MESSAGEHANDLER ENHANCEMENTS:
- Added MSG_OWNER_MESSAGE, MSG_PUBLIC_MESSAGE, MSG_REGION_MESSAGE handlers
- New handleOwnerMessage(), handlePublicMessage(), handleRegionMessage() functions
- Memory-efficient message formatting with type-based templates
- Moved all heavy string concatenation operations out of Main Controller
MAIN CONTROLLER CHANGES:
- Added ownerMsg(), publicMsg(), regionMsg() helper functions
- Replaced memory-heavy llOwnerSay() calls with delegated message functions
- Reduced string concatenation operations in critical paths
- Kept simple direct calls for essential messages only
This architectural change should significantly reduce Main Controller memory pressure
and resolve the persistent Stack-Heap Collision errors.
- Fixed syntax error on line 113,0 in Verbose_Logger.lsl
- Moved function definitions before state block (LSL requirement)
- Removed duplicate function definitions at end of file
- Functions flushMessageBuffer() and reportMemoryStatus() now properly defined
Script should now compile correctly in LSL.
CRITICAL ARCHITECTURE CHANGE to resolve memory crashes:
NEW FILE: Verbose_Logger.lsl
- Dedicated script for all debug output to free up memory in Main Controller
- Handles verbose logging toggle and message buffering
- Script ID system for organized log prefixes
- Memory-safe batched output system
MAIN CONTROLLER CHANGES:
- Removed all verbose logging code and variables
- Redirected debug calls to dedicated Verbose_Logger script
- Simplified verbose logging toggle to forward to logger
- Removed memory-heavy string operations
This architectural split should immediately resolve the Stack-Heap Collision
by moving all debug-related memory usage out of the Main Controller.
CRITICAL FIX: Main Controller experiencing Stack-Heap Collision from verbose logging
- Added emergency memory monitoring to auto-disable verbose logging when memory low
- Replaced heavy string concatenation debug calls with lightweight versions
- Added memory checks before debug output to prevent crashes
- Simplified verbose logging toggle messages to reduce memory usage
- Emergency threshold: auto-disable at <1000 bytes free memory
- Safety checks: only output debug if >500 bytes available
This should immediately resolve the Stack-Heap Collision error.

- Only process original source files, not already-processed ones
- Add .gitignore to exclude processed files and build artifacts
- Prevents exponential explosion of processed_processed_processed... files
