The chat deep-dive proved the MECHANISM behind retail's green clickable
speaker name — a glyph tag coloured from property 0x1D rather than the line's
own 0x1B — but not the colour itself: BuildChatColorLookupTable @0x004F31C0
builds only the 0x1B array, so the value is authored rather than runtime-built
and the research correctly returned "UNKNOWN" instead of assuming the green in
a screenshot.
--colors prints the 0x1B/0x1D arrays of every element in a layout, which
measures it out of the installed dats:
chat 0x2100006F, transcript 0x10000011
P0x1B [0x00] R=204 G=204 B=204
P0x1D [0x00] R= 0 G=178 B= 0 <- the green
Recorded in the research note, including the trap it exposes: the tag colour is
per-ELEMENT and authored, while the line colour on that same element comes from
the runtime chat table. Filing "tag green" into the LogTextType colour table
would put it in the wrong place entirely.

Maintained .NET tools
Every .csproj under tools/ is part of AcDream.slnx. The complete Release
gate restores and builds these tools, so a missing personal checkout or an API
change cannot leave a tracked tool silently broken. They are diagnostic/manual
programs: the gate builds them but does not run data-dependent investigations.
| Tool | Purpose | Runtime prerequisite |
|---|---|---|
A8CellAudit |
Inspect landblock, EnvCell, portal, and collision topology. | Installed AC DAT files / the arguments documented by the program. |
dump-keymap |
Extract the retail master input maps and decoded actions. | Installed client_portal.dat. |
PesChainAudit |
Walk weather PES call chains and particle emitters. | Installed AC DAT files. |
ProjectileVfxAudit |
Audit projectile physics-script and particle-emitter VFX mappings. | Installed AC DAT files. |
RainMeshProbe |
Inspect rain surfaces, polygon sidedness, and generated mesh counts. | Installed AC DAT files. |
RetailTimeProbe |
Read retail time-of-day and sky state for comparison. | Windows, a running retail client, and process-read access. |
SetupInspect |
Dump Setup parts, placement poses, and animation frames. | Installed AC DAT files and a Setup ID. |
ShaderCompiler |
Compile the Vulkan GLSL shader set to committed SPIR-V. | Source and output directory arguments. |
SkyObjectInspect |
Inspect Dereth sky/day-group objects and texture data. | Installed AC DAT files. |
StarsProbe |
Audit sky-object geometry, UV ranges, and surfaces. | Installed AC DAT files. |
TextureDump |
Dump render-surface statistics and texture images. | Installed AC DAT files. |
WeatherEnumerator |
Enumerate weather sky objects and their bounds. | Installed AC DAT files. |
WeatherSetupProbe |
Inspect the parts and surfaces of weather Setups. | Installed AC DAT files. |
Build the complete maintained graph with:
dotnet restore AcDream.slnx --locked-mode --force-evaluate
dotnet build AcDream.slnx -c Release --no-restore
Use pwsh ./tools/run-release-gate.ps1 for the authoritative bounded gate.
Package versions and lock-file maintenance are documented in
docs/release-gate.md.
