Erik 53f0110b89 fix(anim): remote-entity stop detection from position deltas
Root cause found from ACE source:
- Player_Tick.cs:368 — "the client will never send a 'client released
  forward' MoveToState in this scenario unfortunately"
- Server therefore can't broadcast a MotionCommand.Ready UpdateMotion
  when a remote player stops moving.
- Retail observer infers stopped state from position deltas going to
  zero, not from an explicit motion message.

Also found + fixed the UpdateMotion parser's 2-byte offset bug: ACE's
Align() pads based on absolute stream length (length=15 → 1 pad byte),
not relative-to-block. Previous parser assumed 3 pad bytes after the
MovementData header, which mis-aligned every subsequent field by 2.
After fix, stance/command/speed decode correctly for both server-
controlled NPCs (full stance 0x003D + cmd transitions) and remote
players (stance=0 meaning "no change" + per-axis commands).

OnLiveMotionUpdated rewrite: use SetCycle directly for sequencer
entities instead of routing through GetIdleCycle (which ignored
command when stance was 0). Preserve current style/motion when the
server omits a field ("no change" semantics). Reconstruct full
MotionCommand high byte from current motion or SubState mask.

Remote stop-detection: new _remoteLastMove dict tracks per-entity last
meaningful position + time. OnLivePositionUpdated updates only on
moves > 0.05m so the timestamp captures last actual movement.
TickAnimations checks every entity in a locomotion cycle; if their
last-move time is >400ms stale, swap sequencer to Ready. Excludes
player's own entity (driven by local input, not server observation).

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.
