Erik 192e066182 fix(app+core): Phase B.3 — player cull-exempt, jump height, slope Z
Three user-reported movement fixes:

1. Player disappears when facing away: StaticMeshRenderer now accepts
   an alwaysVisibleEntityId. When a culled landblock contains the
   player entity, it is still drawn. Prevents the frustum culler from
   hiding the player character when they walk far from their spawn
   landblock.

2. Jump too high: JumpImpulse reduced from 10.0 to 3.5 (placeholder;
   retail scales by Jump skill value from the server).

3. Slope Z alignment: replaced the frame-delta slope bias with a
   foot-forward sampling approach — sample terrain Z at 1 unit ahead
   in the walk direction and use max(center, foot) as the ground Z.
   Handles multi-grade slopes where the terrain rises faster than a
   single-point sample tracks.

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.
