Erik b341193cfe fix(app+core): Phase B.2 — increase step height + resolve initial Z from terrain
Two fixes for the "position never changes when walking" bug:

1. StepUpHeight was 1.0 units — too tight. The player started at
   Z=92.2 (ACE relocation from previous session) but terrain Z was
   ~94, so every movement attempt had a Z delta of 1.8 which
   exceeded the limit. Increased to 5.0 (forgiving for MVP; AC
   default for humans is ~2 from Setup.StepUpHeight).

2. Initial position now resolves through PhysicsEngine with a huge
   step height (100) to snap to the correct terrain Z regardless
   of where the server-sent Z currently is. With indoor transitions
   disabled, this always produces the outdoor terrain height.

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.
