Erik 07fde88534 feat(app): Phase A.2 — FrustumCuller + FrustumPlanes (Gribb-Hartmann)
Per-landblock frustum culling for the streaming renderer. Extracts
6 normalized view-frustum planes from a View×Projection matrix using
the standard Gribb-Hartmann method. IsAabbVisible tests the AABB's
most-positive vertex against each plane — conservative (no false
negatives) and zero-allocation.

Key implementation note: System.Numerics.Matrix4x4 uses ROW-VECTOR
convention (clip = worldPos * VP), so Gribb-Hartmann must operate on
the COLUMNS of the matrix (not rows). The spec's row-based pseudocode
assumed column-major (OpenGL) convention; the fix is col4 ± col{1..3}.

7 new tests covering ortho, perspective (front/behind/left/far/
near-straddling), and acdream's actual Z-up camera convention.

acdream

Experimental modern open-source Asheron's Call client in C# / .NET 10.

Status: pre-alpha, not playable. Phase 0 only — dat file asset inventory.

Stack: .NET 10, Chorizite.DatReaderWriter for dat parsing. Silk.NET + Avalonia planned for rendering/UI (not yet wired up).

Requires: A retail Asheron's Call install (Turbine/Microsoft property — supply your own). Set ACDREAM_DAT_DIR environment variable to the directory containing client_portal.dat, client_cell_1.dat, client_highres.dat, and client_local_English.dat, or pass it as the first CLI argument.

Layout

  • src/AcDream.Cli/ — console app that dumps asset counts from a dat directory
  • references/ — local read-only reference material (ACE, ACViewer, WorldBuilder, DatReaderWriter, holtburger, retail AC install). Gitignored.

Run

dotnet run --project src/AcDream.Cli -- "C:\path\to\Asheron's Call"

Or set ACDREAM_DAT_DIR and run without args.
