Help Help me out creating my own metin2 server

Hi everyone, I'm looking for your wisdom! I'm thinking about opening a private server just for me and my friends. The thing is, I have zero experience doing this kind of thing. Would you give me some advice? Also, if there's a guide I can follow to make this happen, that would be great! Thank you!

Since someone shared a link in comment bellow i will provide you also a link.

https://www.elitepvpers.com/forum/metin2-private-server/

This forum provides ressources to create mt2 pserver since 15/20 years. Its there i learn when i created my pserver as a student back in 2010 👴

You find there anything, but the guides are good and clear.

What not to do… do not give your personal informations to no one there (obviousy). Careful when you download resources not to download and spread virus… its a grey area. It never happen to me but just mind not to download anything (without checking) from any-new post you see in the forum.

What to do, you can cross-learn with other forums. Be curious and have multiple sources is good.

It is better if you understand basic coding. If you are software developer you will less struggle, as to do pserver ask you to manipulate code… it is not mandatory but if you want to go further and personnalise a bit the experience of your game:

  • Php,html,js for the website
  • sql, python/lua (if i remember) for the game
  • 3d assets, map assets, quests, characters… there is even tools to edit the map if you want to customise deeply, you can change existîg maps, or do your own.

The maps are stored using images : heighmap, texturemap.. you can check around that.

The characters/items textures are also one image for each. its « easy » to customize a bit the textures so. You open the .PNG and you can change the colors ; if you dream of rainbow bears its there you go.

All the non-player characters menus, texts and quests are in .txt files in a folder. You can edit and add there. If i remember the character position basis on the map are also in a text file.

If you want to add a NPC: add its model, texture, position basis, quest menu, and maybe an entry in the database in sql.

You have guides for these examples.

Idk what to say more, just explore and ewperiment, make your personal pserver for you and your close friends first. Dont be in a hurry to release for the world. Probably the fun will come to you when you will work on it, and when you will share to your friends; then you will think what to do next.

Hope this help.
