Erik d35e4b6de7 perf(terrain): single shared VAO/VBO/EBO for all landblocks
Replace 25 per-landblock VAOs with one shared buffer set. Vertex positions
are now baked in world space during AddLandblock (worldOrigin added to each
vertex), so uModel is eliminated from terrain.vert entirely. Buffer rebuild
happens on the cold path (landblock load/unload) via RebuildGpuBuffers.

Draw loop: bind VAO once, then one glDrawElements per visible landblock
into its sub-range of the shared EBO — same frustum-cull logic, no
VAO/VBO rebind overhead per landblock.

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.
