Modern open-source C# .NET 10 Asheron's Call client. Faithful port of retail client behaviour to Silk.NET with a plugin API.
Ten bite-sized tasks covering: solution reorg into four projects, TDD-driven PluginManifest parsing + discovery + collectible-ALC loader (with a real fixture DLL), LandblockMesh pure generator, Silk.NET window smoke, dat-backed landblock mesh upload, height- ramp shader + orbit camera, and finally the end-to-end smoke plugin round-trip. Manual visual smoke only for the GL bits; xUnit TDD for everything testable. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

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.
