Modern open-source C# .NET 10 Asheron's Call client. Faithful port of retail client behaviour to Silk.NET with a plugin API.

UpdateMotion's InterpretedMotionState payload includes not just
ForwardCommand but a whole Commands[] list of MotionItem entries — each
carrying an Action (attack, portal, skill use), Modifier (jump,
stop-turn), or ChatEmote (Wave, BowDeep, Laugh) that should overlay the
current cycle. The old parser stopped reading after ForwardSpeed, so
emotes/attacks/deaths never reached the sequencer and NPCs just sat in
their idle cycle.
Three parts:
1. New MotionItem wire record in ServerMotionState — carries Command
(u16), PackedSequence (u16 with IsAutonomous bit + 15-bit stamp),
and Speed (f32). Mirrors ACE Network/Motion/MotionItem.cs.
2. Both UpdateMotion.TryParse and CreateObject.TryParseMovementData
now read the full InterpretedMotionState: all 7 flag fields
(CurrentStyle, ForwardCommand, SidestepCommand, TurnCommand,
ForwardSpeed, SidestepSpeed, TurnSpeed) plus the numCommands ×
MotionItem tail. The packed u32 encodes flags in low 7 bits and
command count in bits 7+ (see ACE InterpretedMotionState.cs:131).
3. New MotionCommandResolver — reconstructs the 32-bit MotionCommand
class byte from a 16-bit wire value via a reflection-built lookup
of DatReaderWriter.Enums.MotionCommand. Server serializes as u16
(ACE InterpretedMotionState.cs:139) and we need the class to route:
- 0x10xxxxxx Action / 0x20xxxxxx Modifier / 0x12,0x13 ChatEmote →
PlayAction (resolves from Modifiers or Links dict, overlays on
current cycle)
- 0x40xxxxxx SubState → SetCycle (cycle change)
4. OnLiveMotionUpdated in GameWindow dispatches each command:
- SubState class (0x40xxx) → SetCycle (treated same as
ForwardCommand)
- Action/Modifier/ChatEmote → PlayAction — the link animation
plays once then drops back to the current cycle naturally
(matches retail's action-queue pattern in CMotionInterp
DoInterpretedMotion, decompile FUN_00528F70).
Result: NPCs now animate attacks, waves, bows, death throes, and other
one-shots that ACE broadcasts via the Commands list rather than the
primary ForwardCommand field. Combined with the dead-reckoning + speed-
scaling from the prior commits, remote characters look visually correct
during the full motion spectrum (idle → walk → run → attack → death).
Tests: 2 new UpdateMotion wire-format tests (ForwardSpeed parse, full
Wave command list parse) + 19 new MotionCommandResolver reconstruction
tests covering SubState, Action, and ChatEmote classes. 654 tests green
(was 633).

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.
