📄 Description

Adds a field note for Armored Fist 3 (NovaLogic VoxelSpace 32, 1999): how the game was reverse-engineered for a stable 60 fps + 16:9 runtime mod and a 64-bit model/scenario viewer.

Highlights:

PFF2 archive XOR pad; the NovaLogic 8-byte block cipher for BMS scenarios (80/80) and INF radio scripts (71/71), with the engine address of the transform.
True map scale from the engine's HUD formatter (0x280000 divisor); 3DO/3DI v5-v9 model formats and the engine's per-type AI assembly tables (typed manifests in RESOURCE.PFF, plot routines in MISSIONS.PFF).
JIM files closed as mission-editor documents (never loaded by the game; no similarity fit to the compiled scenarios).
32-bit wide HUD: window fit, doubled strip-text fix, and the mapped (parked) minimap layout-grid mechanism.
64-bit rewrite verification: 60 fps at 1080p with hundreds of placed scenario objects, plus the one-command contact-sheet tool.

Checklist: \um kb check --index\ PASS (8 notes).
