Erik 1d1e668a2f Merge phase-2/static-meshes-and-textures: Phase 2a static meshes 
Phase 2a MVP complete. 8 commits implementing Tasks 1-8 of the
Phase 2 plan:
- BCnEncoder.Net 2.2.1 added to AcDream.Core
- GfxObjMesh.Build: multi-surface CPU mesh extractor from GfxObj
  vertex+polygon data, with position/UV dedupe and fan triangulation
- SurfaceDecoder: BCnEncoder.Net-backed DXT decoder + A8R8G8B8 raw,
  with 1x1 magenta fallback
- LandblockLoader: parses Stabs and BuildingInfo from LandBlockInfo
  into WorldEntity records, type-filtering to GfxObj + Setup only
- SetupMesh.Flatten: single-level part hierarchy walker
- WorldView: 3x3 neighbor landblock id computation with edge clamping
- TextureCache: App-side GL texture handle cache, walks the
  Surface → SurfaceTexture → RenderSurface chain from the dats
- StaticMeshRenderer + mesh.vert/mesh.frag + GameWindow wire-up

21 new xUnit tests (17 → 38), all green, build clean.

Smoke verified against real dats: Holtburg landblock hydrated
126 static entities (Stabs + Buildings), process runs without
exception, terrain + static meshes pipeline complete end-to-end.

Phase 2a stops here. Tasks 9-18 (conditional texture debugging,
terrain atlas, 3x3 neighbor rendering, dual cameras, plugin API
growth) deferred to Phase 2b in a future session.

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.
