Erik 83e0e4f9ca feat(net): GameEventWiring — one-call glue from dispatcher to Core state
Central registration helper that wires every parsed GameEvent from the
Phase F.1 dispatcher into the appropriate Core state class:

- ChannelBroadcast / Tell / CommunicationTransientString / PopupString
  → ChatLog (H.1)
- UpdateHealth / Victim / Defender / Attacker / EvasionAttacker /
  EvasionDefender / AttackDone → CombatState (E.4)
- MagicUpdateSpell / MagicRemoveSpell / MagicUpdateEnchantment /
  MagicRemoveEnchantment / MagicDispelEnchantment /
  MagicPurgeEnchantments → Spellbook (E.5)
- WieldObject / InventoryPutObjInContainer → ItemRepository (F.2)

This is the piece that makes the dispatcher go from "thing that routes
opcodes" to "thing that populates state the UI can redraw from". Before
this, every handler had to be wired at each call site; now one call
at startup (or per-reconnect) does the whole map.

Project graph: added AcDream.Core.Net → AcDream.Core ProjectReference
so the wiring can see both the dispatcher (Net) and the state classes
(Core). Net's own tests already pull in Core indirectly, so test scope
is unchanged.

Tests (6 new, in Core.Net.Tests): verify round-trip via the actual
dispatcher. Build envelope → dispatch → assert the correct Core state
change. Covers ChannelBroadcast, UpdateHealth, MagicUpdateSpell,
WieldObject, PopupString, MagicPurgeEnchantments.

Build green, 602 tests pass (up from 596).

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.
