Modern open-source C# .NET 10 Asheron's Call client. Faithful port of retail client behaviour to Silk.NET with a plugin API.
d3165f99d7
Full runtime particle pipeline consuming Phase E.1's animation hooks.
13 motion integrators, per-emitter particle pools with overwrite-oldest
eviction, colour / scale / alpha interpolation over life, and a
ParticleHookSink routing CreateParticle / DestroyParticle / StopParticle /
CreateBlockingParticle hooks from the animation-hook router.
Core layer:
- ParticleSystem: handle-based emitter pool, per-tick emission
accumulator (retail Birthrate = time-between-spawns → our emit rate
via 1/B), 13 integrators covering the full ParticleType enum:
Still, LocalVelocity, GlobalVelocity, 7 Parabolic variants (all
apply Gravity * dt to velocity), Swarm (orbital drift),
Explode (outward from anchor), Implode (inward to anchor, dies at
convergence).
- EmitterDescRegistry: id-keyed EmitterDesc cache with fallback-to-
default for unknown ids. Replaces the dat-loaded path until
Chorizite.DatReaderWriter exposes ParticleEmitterInfo (v2.1.7 does
not; upgraded from 2.1.4 anyway for future types).
- ParticleHookSink: wires the full hook family:
- CreateParticleHook → SpawnEmitterById at entity pose + hook offset
- CreateBlockingParticleHook → marker only (blocking semantics live
in the sequencer not here)
- DestroyParticleHook → StopEmitter(handle, fadeOut=false)
- StopParticleHook → StopEmitter(handle, fadeOut=true)
- (Default/CallPES deferred until PhysicsScript dat is loadable)
GameWindow integration:
- ParticleSystem created eagerly (no driver dep), sink registered with
hook router, Tick advanced per OnRender frame after animation tick so
hooks fired this frame get integrated.
Tests (11 new): spawn-handle, emit-over-time steady state, lifetime
death curve, LocalVelocity movement, Parabolic gravity arc, Explode
outward trajectory, StopEmitter instant kill vs fadeOut, MaxParticles
cap enforcement, registry default fallback, registry custom
registration.
Upgraded Chorizite.DatReaderWriter 2.1.4 → 2.1.7 across Core + Cli.
Build green, 508 tests pass (up from 497).
Ref: r04 §2 (CParticleManager), §3 (13 integrators), §6 (PhysicsScript).
Renderer (instanced billboarded quads in translucent pass) ships next
commit; this one covers the data / logic / wiring layer in full.

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.
