Erik 333a7c197a feat(net): Phase 6.7 — parse UpdatePosition (0xF748) into PositionUpdated event 
Companion to the Phase 6.6 UpdateMotion parser. Without this, every
server-spawned entity stays frozen at its CreateObject origin forever
— NPCs don't patrol, creatures don't hunt, other players don't walk
past. UpdatePosition is the per-entity position delta the server sends
on every movement tick.

The wire format is straightforward but fiddly:
  u32 opcode | u32 guid | u32 flags | u32 cellId | 3xf32 pos
  (0..4) conditional f32 rotation components, present iff the
  corresponding OrientationHasNo* flag is CLEAR
  optional 3xf32 velocity iff HasVelocity
  optional u32 placementId iff HasPlacementID
  four u16 sequence numbers (consumed but not used)

Layout ported from references/ACE/Source/ACE.Server/Network/Structure/
PositionPack.cs::Write and ACE.Entity/Enum/PositionFlags.cs.

WorldSession dispatches PositionUpdated(guid, position, velocity) on
a successful parse. GameWindow wiring (guid → WorldEntity lookup and
transform swap) is deferred to the same follow-up commit that lands
Phase 6.6 wiring, after the in-flight Phase 9.1 translucent-pass work
merges so we don't step on GameWindow.cs edits.

96 Core.Net tests (was 89, +7 for UpdatePosition coverage).

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.
