The mod library and desktop workflow use Rocket-R's current implementation with Glover's game identity and red/gold presentation. The test package is a separately compiled MIPS .nrm, loaded through the same importer as other mods. Original Game remains an empty profile using the original save folder.
Open Mods → Browse → Install Camera Mod. Installation creates My Mods if Original Game is selected. Use Installed → Details and settings for camera options and input remaps. The profile selector and Manage Profiles dialog match Rocket-R's workflow. Add Mods accepts .nrm, .rtz, ZIP collections and exported JSON profiles; desktop drag-and-drop and --install-mod <path> use the same validation.
Use a different profile for a different mod setup. Exports contain hashes, version selections, settings and input bindings; they contain neither packages nor saves. The launcher distinguishes the selected setup for the next launch from the packages already running. Dependency, version, conflict and exclusive-resource errors block launch with an explanation.
After an unclean modded session, the next launch falls back to Original Game. Try My Mods Again retains the selected profile and retries it. --without-mods also selects the safe original session. Modded saves live in a separate profile folder. Installing a package never edits the private original ROM.
glover_modern_camera.nrm uses Rocket's guest camera algorithm and settings: speed, deadzone, response, momentum and horizontal/vertical inversion. Default look inputs are right stick and I/J/K/L. The settings panel supplies mouse look, sensitivity, recenter binding and camera-action remapping. The exact included package can remain in standby and switch live; arbitrary packages do not inherit that privilege.
Open Controls → Camera in the launcher or F1 overlay to see and remap camera inputs. The same settings remain available in the mod's Details and settings panel. Cycle zoom (3 stages) defaults to O / left-stick click and sends Glover's original C-Down input. First-person view defaults to P / top face button and sends original C-Up. Tap and release to cycle zoom or switch view; enter first-person while stationary. Right stick, I/J/K/L and mouse look work in both views. The shared Invert Y setting reverses vertical look in both views. First-person also retains original movement-stick or W/A/S/D look. Press the view button again to return to third-person orbiting. If your controller has no stick-click buttons, assign Cycle zoom to an available button here.
The Windows diagnostic trace verified the native zoom index cycling through all three values and the native first-person state entering and leaving with the mod enabled. These are Glover's original mode handlers; the mod does not substitute a separate zoom or first-person camera.
The Glover bridge maps eye/target vectors and requests into the native camera-update path. Only normal authored camera updates should own input; loading warm-up, file select and unsupported views retain native control. Recenter is mapped from Glover's native follow heading. First-person dispatches the guest look event after original stick input and before the original pitch-limit and geometry checks. It updates native yaw/pitch targets, preserving Glover's eye movement and view publication. Collision behavior and transitions require gameplay validation; a separate native follow-spring adjustment remains pending. Loading the package successfully does not establish camera feel or collision behavior.
From the project after a native build:
python scripts/glover_sdk.py init my_mod --id my_mod
python scripts/glover_sdk.py build my_mod --wsl --output build/mods
python scripts/glover_sdk.py validate build/mods/my_mod.nrm
On Windows the guest compiler runs in Ubuntu-24.04 WSL with Clang and LLD. Linux uses its native Clang and LLD. --tool, --symbols and --data-symbols select the matching RecompModTool and symbol dumps. SDK archives carry headers, tools and symbols, without a game ROM. The same guest package format works with the Windows and Linux host builds.
The rocket/ include namespace, rocket.json metadata filename and rocket_* import/event names remain stable ABI conventions. They do not make a Rocket game package compatible: Glover manifests require game_id = "glover" and minimum host version 0.4.0. Never reuse Rocket native addresses or object layouts in a Glover mod.
SDK 1 provides camera callbacks. SDK 2 provides managed activation, callbacks, settings commands, action remapping, scoped resources/saves, events, system ownership, HUD and custom PCM audio. Raw restart hooks/replacements use the supplied matching function/data symbols and verified signatures. Functions implementing port fixes are protected by an inventory generated from the checked recomp policy.
Current SDK 2 native binding gaps: native object services, original sound/music controls, custom mesh/actor presentation and native-render replacement are not advertised. Packages requiring them are rejected. Their Rocket adapters cannot be used on Glover, and full development-SDK parity is still work in progress. Portable world/collision code is present; native scene integration is not complete. These services still need Glover-specific integration and testing.
Packages are immutable and identified by SHA-256. ZIP paths, resource names, expanded size, duplicate/case-colliding names, malformed code pairs and native libraries are validated before launch. A hash identifies bytes; it is not an author signature or a sandbox for guest code.
SDK asset patches target the canonical 8 MiB USA Glover cartridge. The header and initial game code/data/rodata region through ROM offset 0xF6680 are protected. Separate compatible authored asset layers can be composed privately; overlaps are rejected. No extracted game assets or patched ROM belong in a release.
Use maintained host sources and checked patch-policy hooks for changes to Glover-R itself. Do not manually edit generated recomp functions, generated patches or dependency/submodule source.
