Serious Question for Devs

Hello Developers ,

First of all i want to thank you for all the things you did for the community !

I wanted to be a newbie-developer of shaiya but i know you need to know a lot programms. So my question is :

1. What are the first things/programs you need to know ? (please be detailled and start on "0% knowledge" )

2. If you know the basic of question "1" what is the second step ?


I realize it will not be easy to learn everything but i have the patience for it. I dont expect it will be done in a few months so please take my questions seriously and be detailled.

Thanks advanced

Mr.Shaiya

The most basic things you need to know are:

• SQL
• PhP

There is no way to be more specific, as you need to know exactly how to work both languages, mostly SQL as basically everything can be handled from the DataBase (SQL), while PhP would be for you to create/use scripts on your website to make your life easier, and, perhaps, show some creativity and a variety of options for your players.

Besides that, if you want, it wouldn't hurt to learn PhotoShop, so that you will be able to do customizations to your client.

If I had to make a short list, in order of prudence, it would be as follows:

-MS SQL
-Ollydbg
-CheatEngine
-PHP/CSS/HTML
-PhotoShop

Things such as PHP/PhotoShop are a novelty. Focus on novelty items last. A server needs to function before you dress it up.

I am sure there are others, and more important items/tasks that I am missing; However, it is pushing 3:30AM for me and several days with little to no sleep. I am sure others can fill in where I have missed, or where I am simply ignorant.

Like john said, you need to know SQL and for more features php. After that you'll need some tools (Shstudio, lilprohacker's datafile tool, cheat engine, i never used Ollydbg but i saw a lot of players talking about it so maybe you'll need it).
For start you need to set up your server working in local.
Then i suggest you to fix the basic bugs/glitch (0777addgm, sealth exploit, duping).
And you can dress up your droplist.
It's time to make your Item mall (be carefull with it, it's 1 of the first things that the players look).
Now let's dress up a website (here you'll need php, html, css langages).
And if you are abble to edit the textures of your game, now you'll need photoshop (i'm not a good graphist, a friend did it for me).

If i forgot something, others are abble to say it but i don't think.

Actually OllyDBG is a really important tool as most of the "bugs" or "exploits" can be fixed by using it, personally I never learned how to use it correctly, yet I have used it on some situations and you can do fixes in there that are really important.
