Well if I don't get server code world won't crush I just won't be able to develop my own version. But they can at least give us compiled server program so we can build our own servers. So I can reset whenever it crashes, so I can play without all idiots and only with my friends and I can experiment and do whatever I want to do.
Meh, find yourself some interested programmers and you can actually recreate the server just from the client code and the communication between client and server. Things like world generation, river connecting, cliffs generation and animal behavior might be different, but you'd have your server!
Good luck tho, it would be a big endeavor.
Well problem is that all resources already exists for that game and it would be stupid making new ones. But to use that resources you need to be almost ENinstein to figure out how did they make those things together and working. I don't say it's not good or something, it's almost perfect, but when you check under the hood all picture changes. I tried to do many things but I'm stuck with character animations.
Programming new server? Yeah right. That will take years of reverse engineering and I don't want to steal their work. They made that game, they are authors, I just want to enjoy that game I wish to enjoy. If they will give us whole or partial source code of server fine, I will try to use it and continue developing offline version. If they give us compiled server and everything, fine I will build up my own server and invite only ppl I want to play with me. Maybe someday I will find some web-hosting somewhere and I will put on "second realm".
If they won't do anything... I'm also ok witht that but I will be unhappy and disappointed. I rly rly do like that game, I just hate some other ppls that are stupid and that server crashes and lags too much. Do you know how flawlessly would game run if u would have server on your own computer? And playing with like 20-50 friends? You create one or two villages and after you develop you make some battles and so on. Also you can experiment and try things like you may never do here.
At last I wish that they would somehow reformat and comment all that code (server and client) and maybe some more ppl can come and help with development. I love programming and specialy I love game programming. But I never have good enoug hidea or resoucers to make game or other ppl to help me.
This game surely need a lot of fixing and balancing but still it's pretty enjoyable.
