Erik 2561f5599f feat(items): Phase F.2 ItemRepository + AppraiseRequest round-trip
Implements the item-state mirror + appraise round-trip infrastructure
on top of Phase F.1's GameEvent dispatcher.

Core layer (AcDream.Core/Items):
- ItemRepository: ConcurrentDictionary-backed live item state keyed by
  server ObjectId. Events: ItemAdded, ItemMoved, ItemRemoved,
  ItemPropertiesUpdated. MoveItem handles container / slot / equip
  location updates atomically and fires ItemMoved with old+new container
  ids. UpdateProperties merges a PropertyBundle patch (for appraise
  results) without clobbering existing untouched keys.

Wire layer (AcDream.Core.Net/Messages):
- AppraiseRequest (0x00C8 C→S, inside 0xF7B1 GameAction envelope):
  Build(sequence, targetGuid) → 16-byte body ready for SendGameAction.
- GameEvents.ParseIdentifyResponseHeader for 0x00C9 S→C — extracts
  (guid, appraiseFlags, success). Full PropertyBundle deserialization
  (the 10-flag bitfield-indexed tables) is a future pass; header alone
  is enough to route into the repository + surface "appraise complete"
  to UI.
- GameEvents.ParseWieldObject (0x0023) — server-driven equip.
- GameEvents.ParsePutObjInContainer (0x0022) — server-driven inventory
  move (item, container, placement).

Tests (11 new):
- ItemRepository: add/update fires correct event, move updates fields,
  missing-id returns false, remove, properties merge, clear.
- Wire: AppraiseRequest byte-exact encoding, IdentifyResponse header
  round-trip, WieldObject round-trip, PutObjInContainer round-trip.

Build green, 532 tests pass (up from 521).

Phase F.2 unblocks the Paperdoll + Inventory UI panels and the
"appraise on right-click" UX. Next pieces: PropertyBundle full
deserializer (AppraiseInfo 10-flag bitfield), outbound move/drop/
pickup actions.

Ref: r06 §1 (ItemType), §2 (EquipMask), §5 (appraise wire), §7 (pack
depth rules).
Ref: ACE GameEventIdentifyObjectResponse.cs for AppraiseInfo format.

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.
