Erik 5253c7bfe8 fix(app): lift cell meshes 2cm + diagnose animation-registration rejections 
The user reported the ground-floor of buildings flickers between the
cell mesh floor and the terrain polygon underneath. Classic Z-fight:
both surfaces are coincident in Z because buildings rest ON the
terrain, and depth-buffer precision picks a winner per-pixel per
frame. Add a 2cm Z lift to every EnvCell transform so the cell floor
wins cleanly. Human-scale invisible.

Separately: NPCs in Phase 6.4 aren't visibly breathing. To tell
whether they're being rejected by our registration filter (framerate
== 0, single-frame cycle, or one-frame animation) vs. just having
short cycles the user can't see, add four rejection counters around
the idleCycle check and print them in the summary line next to the
other spawn diagnostics. Next run will tell us exactly which bucket
eats NPCs.

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.
