Erik d951304875 memory: capture full 2026-04-17 session + permanent research index
Two memory files landed:

1. Updated memory/project_session_2026_04_17.md — covers all three
   commits today:
   - ff325ab debug overlay + mouse controls
   - 7230c15 retail UI research + C# scaffold
   - 3f913f1 13-slice deep-dive marathon + scaffolds + roadmap

   Includes the "what to build tomorrow" lookup table, the architectural
   headline findings, and session lessons (Opus-4.7 parallel swarms are
   worth the cost; keystone.dll landmine; GameEvent dispatcher is the
   biggest network gap).

2. New memory/project_retail_research_index.md — permanent index for
   the 20 research docs (6 UI slices + 13 subsystem slices). Quick-
   lookup table "use this slice when you're doing X". Also captures the
   critical cross-cutting findings (architecture, wire, dat ranges) and
   already-extracted retail-faithful formulas for instant reference.

   This file is the standing invariant: before writing any retail-AC-
   specific code, open it first to find the matching slice.

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.
