Modern open-source C# .NET 10 Asheron's Call client. Faithful port of retail client behaviour to Silk.NET with a plugin API.
User reported rain in acdream while retail showed a clear sunny sky
after Phase 3d landed. Root cause: two independent weather systems
running in parallel.
1. Retail DayGroup picker (FUN_00501990 port, Phase 3c/3c.1) —
selected DayGroup[6] "Sunny" correctly.
2. WeatherSystem.Tick (legacy stub from pre-decompile era) —
kept rolling its own hardcoded PDF every day (60% Clear, 20%
Overcast, 12% Rain, 5% Snow, 3% Storm), independent of the
DayGroup picker. Its output drove the rain/snow particle
emitters via UpdateWeatherParticles. If its hash happened to
land on Rain for today's dayIndex, rain rendered even on a
Sunny DayGroup day.
Retail has ONE source of truth for weather: the DayGroup roll. There
is no separate weather state machine — rain/snow/storm are implied by
the DayGroup name and its per-keyframe SkyObjectReplace settings.
Fix (Phase 3e):
- WeatherSystem.SetKindFromDayGroupName(string?) — loose substring
match on the retail DayGroup name: "storm" → Storm, "snow" → Snow,
"rain" → Rain, "cloud"/"overcast"/"dark"/"fog" → Overcast, else
Clear. Case-insensitive. Covers the names observed in the live
Dereth dat dump (Sunny, Clear, Cloudy, Rainy + inferred variants).
- WeatherSystem._externallyDriven flag disables the internal
RollKind auto-roll once SetKindFromDayGroupName has been called at
least once. Tests that drive Tick() directly keep the legacy
hash-roll behavior (offline fallback). ForceWeather still works
for debug overrides.
- GameWindow.RefreshSkyForCurrentDay calls
Weather.SetKindFromDayGroupName(grp.Name) right after it installs
the new SkyStateProvider. Logs the resulting WeatherKind on the
same line as the DayGroup pick for correlation.
- New WeatherSystemTests.SetKindFromDayGroupName_MapsRetailNames
(theory, 14 cases) + SetKindFromDayGroupName_DisablesInternalRoll.
Expected effect: Sunny/Clear DayGroups → no rain emitter. Rainy/Stormy
DayGroups → rain emitter active. The user's specific scenario
(DayGroup[6] "Sunny") now correctly maps to WeatherKind.Clear and no
particles spawn.
Build + 733 tests green (+16 new).

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 directoryreferences/— 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.
