Erik 3fb6b67735 docs(plan): Phase 3c terrain blending plan 
Blending-focused plan for Phase 3c: port WorldBuilder's per-cell
palette-code + alpha-atlas terrain texture merge scheme so terrain
type boundaries blend smoothly instead of stair-stepping.

Scope deliberately excludes chunking (deferred to a possible Phase 3d
when streaming actually matters) so the work stays focused on the
visible win.

Execution split into 4 small commits:
  3c.1 palette math (pure CPU, unit tested against golden values)
  3c.2 alpha atlas loading
  3c.3 per-cell vertex layout refactor
  3c.4 shader rewrite (the visual-win commit)

Each step is runnable on its own so if 3c.4 looks wrong we know the
earlier steps were fine.

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.
