Erik cd89e9a498 feat(net+ui): Phase G.1 — server time sync + debug controls
WorldSession now surfaces the server's PortalYearTicks via a new
ServerTimeUpdated event, fired from two sources per r12 §12:
  1. Initial ConnectRequest handshake (ConnectRequestServerTime field
     of the optional block — seeds the clock on login).
  2. Every subsequent packet carrying the TimeSync header flag
     (0x01000000) — keeps the client clock within one TimeSync period
     of authoritative server time.

GameWindow subscribes the event into WorldTimeService.SyncFromServer,
so the day/night cycle + keyframe interpolation runs from real server
time in live mode. Offline mode (ACDREAM_LIVE=0) still uses the
seeded-to-noon fallback from OnLoad.

DebugOverlay now exposes sky + weather + lighting state:
  time  0.50  Midsong    (day fraction + hour name)
  wx    Clear parts 0   (weather kind + live particle count)
  lit   1/4            (active / registered lights)

F7 cycles a debug time override through
  (none → midnight → dawn → noon → dusk → none)
F10 cycles weather through
  (Clear → Overcast → Rain → Snow → Storm).

These keybinds satisfy the visual-verification tier so a user can
flip through every state from the running client without touching
the code.

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.
