The reported fall-through was a misdiagnosis: the player never fell. The imported Terrain_DEM had only a bounding-box simple collision proxy, so a downward trace anywhere in the block hit the terrain at Z 819 (the mesh bbox max) and the street sat under an invisible 8 m lid. Standing on that box looked plausible, which is why it read as working. - add UGigLineAssetTools (C++): force CTF_UseComplexAsSimple on a static mesh. UE 5.8 dropped bUseComplexAsSimpleCollision and Python cannot set the flag; the builder also saves the asset, since the flag lives there and a map-only save silently reverts it. - spawn (-13336, -1150, 600): inside the carved corridor (the cut is a 10.7 m half-width around the road centreline), lands on the road at 456. - fix ResetToStart returning to the mid-air PlayerStart captured in BeginPlay: StartLocation is now captured on the first grounded frame. - HighResShot 1280x720 instead of "1280 720", which is a multiplier. - add -qaselftest: scripted walk/reset/pause on a core ticker plus a swept ground transect. Results: walk 746 cm/2 s with Z steady, reset 0 cm from spawn, pause/unpause 1/0, transect 84 samples 0 holes. - rebase onto main, keeping the frontage materials and placement fixes.
Gig Line
A Linux-first Unreal Engine game about walking and driving through a real city. The first release, 0.1.0, is a walkable exterior demo around 6840 Hollywood Blvd / El Capitan Entertainment Centre, covering the south-side frontage between Highland Avenue and Orange Drive plus the north-side frontage within 50 m of the boulevard.
Status
0.1.0 is in progress. The workstation, engine, geo pipeline and project bootstrap are done and verified; a walkable DemoMap exists with terrain, street, sidewalks, kerbs and the hero façade placed from measured coordinates. Façades are still blockouts, and materials are flat colours — both are planned patches.
Current tasks are in TODO.md and the development plan is in ROADMAP.md; what was learned the hard way is in MEMORY.md.

Getting started
git lfs install # required: content, images, audio, and geo files are LFS-tracked
git lfs pull
Tools/check-lfs.sh # verifies the lfs filter is active and files are stored as pointers
The engine is installed outside the repository and pinned in Docs/toolchain.md. Setup is in Docs/setup.md; building and the content pipeline are in Docs/build.md.
