Erik 5e96521f92 chore(app): disable VSync during development
VSync was locking the framerate to 32fps (half of 60Hz) because
frames consistently took slightly over the 16.67ms budget. With
VSync off the perf overlay shows the true framerate so we can
measure the actual impact of frustum culling and future optimizations.

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.
