Modern open-source C# .NET 10 Asheron's Call client. Faithful port of retail client behaviour to Silk.NET with a plugin API.
Two runtime blockers discovered after merging the sky/weather/lighting branch: 1. GLSL reserved word: mesh.frag + mesh_instanced.frag used \`int active\` as a local. On GLSL ES / some drivers \`active\` is a reserved identifier and compile fails hard (\"ERROR: 0:38: 'active' : Reserved word\"). Renamed to \`activeLights\`. 2. SkyRenderer.EnsureMeshUploaded called DatCollection.Get<GfxObj> without the _datLock that wraps the streaming pipeline's dat reads. DatBinReader has shared buffer state; concurrent reads race and throw ArgumentOutOfRangeException from Vec2Duv.Unpack deep in the mesh parse. Wrapped both Get<GfxObj> and GfxObjMesh.Build in try/catch and cache a null entry on failure so we don't retry every frame and crash the render loop. Full fix would plumb _datLock into the sky renderer, left as a TODO. Client now stable end-to-end — in-world, spawn stream flowing, animation + audio + sky + light UBO all live.

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 directoryreferences/— 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.
