Leap of faith from SphereServer to ServUO

[Oxtar]

Hi everyone! The name is Oxtar.

I've been a shadowy figure, hiding and helping a lot back in the days on SphereServer(even before the new forum near 2012) around year 2004-2005 when it had the former glory of 55i hahaha.

I've decided to come back and feel the nostalgia to script another server from scratch.

Now now now... It is a giant leap for me since my knowledge in C# is pretty much the basics. More consistent with a game Editor(Unity). Getting objects, playing around with them, getting components and so on. When i look into this emulator's code, i'm not *totally* lost but close.

So i plan on expending my knowledge in C# and have fun while doing it with ServUO. (I still didn't manage to connect to my own compiled server just yet because of an encrypted client detection hahaha.)

So i wish to have a good time here with you guys and help/get help too. Isn't what a community is all about?

Thank you for reading this.

Oh by the way, if someone could hook me up with a little tutorial(since i can't seem to find one) about how to get started into the code and get things going, i would be very grateful.

Thank you!

I was currently looking the video tutorial that i found in another post concerning the Git repo.

As for the editor, is ServUO mainly using only C# or it is using other languages? I got used to MonoDevelop(Unity's main scripting editor). Or should i be using visual studio?

ServUO is entirely built around C# with a little support for visual basic scripts if one was so inclined (I do not see why one would, but you can )

I recommend using Visual Studio as your IDE. You can now get a fully functional version of it called the Community Edition.

You can use MonoDevelop to work with C# as well. Ultimately you are just using the advanced text editing capabilities of the IDE. The server itself compiles all the scripts. And if you modify the server code there is a makefile that recompiles the server.

I wished i would have read this earlier because my 30 days version of Visual Studio 2015 was expired and i've been looking around for quite some time to have a free version of it. Thank you for the heads up.

And thank you too Norman, now i understand why i'll be using VS
