Erik 979802c49c feat(app): slow default fly speed and add Shift-boost
The user noted that the previous 35 u/s default felt too fast for
exploring scenery — overshooting buildings and skipping past entities
constantly. Drop default to 12 u/s (≈AC's run speed), and bind Shift
to a 50 u/s boost for fast travel between landblocks. Backwards
compatible: the new boost parameter on FlyCamera.Update has a default
of false, so any existing caller behaves the same.

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.
