Best 'classic' source?

So, what's the best source out there for a classic server (pre-potency at least)? I'm looking for a clean, organized source that best mimics the official Conquer pre-potency clients.

The one you make.

Mine. Though it's not finished.

It's as close to v4267 (1.0) as it gets.

Edit: My bad. My source isn't public. I don't think there are many well-developed sources for early client versions besides a few, and the ones that are available are just bases.

Which base would you recommend though? I don't have the time to start from scratch nor the knowledge to be able to code all the base stuff (packets etc.). C# or C++ are both fine but I just want the most organized one D:.

Get Korvacs' source. It was open source to the underground members, but he released it because of lack of interest. Of course, you could always downgrade a server on a higher patch... But it's a bitch to do. My server is actually based on Hybrid's source (5130?), but I've commented nearly every single line to where I understand it and can work with it easily, which is a must if you're planning on using someone's source.

I use LOTF, put almost a year of work into it... now its decent.

edit: with decent i mean can be hosted on a 200$ netbook (512mb ram 900mhz cpu)

Had about 67 ppl online at most but didnt lag or shit ram usage was at 45 MB CPU 0-2%

Yeah, gonna look for a LOTF source and study it a bit.

With LOTF he mean LOTF 5017.

the ONLY source wich is actually called LOTF is the 5017 one. His other sources are called

TheCoServer(4531), Co Est X(5017), NewestCoServer(5119), NewestCoServer v2(5165).

I know, but peoples are stilling calling the others LOTF.

Yeah I know, I'm using a clean (well I think it's the original clean one) 5017 LOTF source. I guess it's pretty straightforward and doesn't have much in it, will see if I have the time/am bothered to fix it all up T_T.

I just want to create a 1.0-like server.


EDIT: Geez... Way too much to do lol. Guess I won't be able to find a decent LOTF laying around either. But seriously, fixing up a LOTF source is a lot of work; might as well learn about packets etc. and try to build my own. It'd teach me useful things on the way.

2nd EDIT: TheCoServer huh, I can't find much about that one, the patch number interests me but the only source I was able to find was one tittled 'KoS source'.

3rd EDIT: So any reccomendation on what I should do? Taking my goal into account: A classic 1.0 like stable leveling server, the only non retail features would be custom items and stuff, but that's the easy part.

If you're not familiar with C#, then learn it (I knew C++ and it took me a weekend to learn C#) or build your own in whichever language you choose; if you're not familiar with any programming language, then use another as a base and LEARN WHAT YOU'RE DOING... It's going to take a lot of time regardless; mine's been in development for 4-5 months AND I'm even using Hybrid's source...

there is a version of CoFuture on patch 4267 somewhere released :)

Yes, but it's terribly unstable and extremely inefficient.

Better than LOTF or TheCoServer....
