Modern open-source C# .NET 10 Asheron's Call client. Faithful port of retail client behaviour to Silk.NET with a plugin API.
Captures all the "this looks wrong" findings from the Phase 5 visual
verification and assigns each to a future phase. Top-of-document is
phases done, then phases ahead in suggested order, then a quick
lookup table that maps user complaints to their owning phase.
Phases ahead:
6 Animation system (creature poses, walk/attack motions, breathe-idle)
7 Multi-floor interiors + dungeons (second floors, foundry interior,
subterranean rooms)
8 Player input → server (movement, interact, ack pump, combat)
9 Visual polish (portals, mesh-origin offsets, exact palette ranges,
lighting/shadows)
10 UI / HUD (chat, inventory, character panel, spellbook, minimap)
11 Sound (SoundTable, audio engine, 3D positional audio)
12 Streaming + perf (chunked landblock loading, frustum culling, LOD,
background net thread)
Each phase entry has: what it owns, what it requires, references in the
existing references/ tree, and rough effort estimate.
Document is intentionally a living roadmap — updated whenever a phase
lands or when a new defect is observed that doesn't fit the existing
buckets.

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 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.
