Erik 0f7cd9caaf revert(app): drop foundry-statue camera target — it's a weenie 
The Holtburg foundry statue is a selectable in-game item (weenie
template spawned by the server), not a static client-dat entity. It's
correctly absent from:
- LandBlockInfo.Objects (Stabs)
- LandBlockInfo.Buildings (BuildingInfo)
- EnvCell.StaticObjects
- Region.SceneInfo procedural scenery (SceneryGenerator explicitly
  skips ObjectDesc entries where WeenieObj != 0 — that branch is the
  weenie-reference flag)

The client is behaving correctly. The statue will appear once we
connect to a live ACEmulator instance and receive CreateObject network
messages placing the weenie at its spawn position — Phase 4+ work.
Setup 0x02000081 that I speculatively identified as "the statue" is a
different decoration entirely; there's no need to pin the default
camera at its location.

Revert the camera targeting from eb27e3c. OrbitCamera defaults back to
(96, 96, 0) centered on Holtburg, FlyCamera to (96, 96, 150).

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.
