Erik f6a57cbc6c refactor(core): harden PluginLoader per code review
Addresses code quality review of a7f0732:
- LoadedPlugin now holds the AssemblyLoadContext explicitly so Task 10
  can call Unload() for hot reload (Critical)
- LoadedPlugin.Error is Exception? to match PluginDiscoveryResult and
  preserve stack traces; synthetic failures build FileNotFoundException
  and InvalidOperationException (Important)
- PluginLoader falls back to ReflectionTypeLoadException.Types if
  GetTypes() can't fully resolve (Important)
- Hardcoded abstractions assembly name is now a const (Minor)

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.
