Erik 87c45c70ac feat(app): render landblock with height-ramp shader + orbit camera 
Adds a 2-stage GLSL shader (vertex + fragment), a Shader helper that
compiles/links and exposes SetMatrix4 for uniforms, and an OrbitCamera
with yaw/pitch/distance and a 192-unit-centered target for a single
landblock. TerrainRenderer now takes a Shader and issues an actual
DrawElements call with uView + uProjection uniforms. GameWindow owns
the Shader and Camera, routes mouse drag to camera yaw/pitch, and
scroll wheel to camera distance.

The fragment shader maps world Z to a green-brown-white ramp so
lowlands read green, midlands brown, and peaks white — no textures
yet, but enough to visually confirm the terrain shape.

Shaders are copied to the output dir via a <None Update> item group.

Smoke verified against real dats: process stays alive with no GL
errors, no shader compile/link failures, and no exception trail.

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.
