Erik 6f05c298cf fix(app+core): Phase B.3 — streaming follows player, AC jump physics
Three fixes for user-reported movement bugs:

1. Character disappears far from spawn: streaming observer now computed
   from _playerController.Position when player mode is active, instead
   of _lastLivePlayerLandblockId which only updates from server echoes
   (never for autonomous moves). The 5x5 streaming window now follows
   the player as they walk.

2. Jump physics from ACE: JumpImpulse=5.0 and GravityAccel=9.8
   matching AC's formula: velocity_z = sqrt(height * 19.6) where
   height = BurdenMod * (JumpSkill / (JumpSkill + 1300) * 22.2 + 0.05)
   For a new char (skill=100, burden=50%): height≈1.31, vz≈5.07.

3. Gravity reduced from 20 to 9.8 (AC's F_GRAVITY constant).

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.
