Ask yourself this before you start trying to make a server.

Can I speak English rather well and fluently?
- Most programming is done in English and most IDE's use English words such as "private", "public", "static", "void", "int(eger)", "string" and do not support unicode characters.

Am I good at math?
- Creating a server requires you to come up with several mathematical, for instance doing attack calculations, m-attack calculations, dodge, accuracy, and so on.

Do I know what a thread is and how to create/abort one? Do I know when to use them, and what to use them for?
- Multi-threading your server is very crucial, or else the main thread will be extremely lagged up.

Do I understand thread-safe programming?
- A lot of people don't understand this, this is often the reason why client's close, because the server or application is not thread-safe and a packet becomes corrupted.

Be honest to yourself, and if you answered no to any of these; you really should go find out what they are. Knowing these things are vital in making an efficient server, just jumping in doesn't quite cut it, you usually just end up asking for help and usually annoying people. A crucial rule I've always lived by is never ask for help, unless you honestly need it. I usually try at the problem for a few days before I give up..

/agreed. I can't code a thing, but that still doesn't mean that I can't try. The more code i read, the more i understand. That's why i'm gonna continue working with LOTF to see what does what, where and why.

oh comeone they dont have to know that all to make a server xD most people are just making it for fun, all noobs that are intrested in conquer private servers will try to make a good private server. let the people have fun;)

Yeah you do. xD most people are just making it for fun Why're they all going public then, and attempting to build communities?, all noobs that are intrested in conquer private servers will try I underlined that for a reason. to make a good private server. let the people have fun;) Once again, making a private server isn't fun, playing it is. ps/ dont take a private server to serious man;s you are always flaming with I don't I take people claiming to know what they're talking about, and what they're taking wrong seriously."come shoot me"I've never said that. "next person that is going to make a pvserver is getting shooted"I've never said that either. you are always saying that stuff but you never say Hey goodluck kid have fun Coding a server has nothing to do with luck, lol.

M'kay.

You need to have all that plus more to MAKE, or CODE an server,not to Rightclick -> Download and open an EXE.

Seriously guys,please learn before posting for help and saying your server is the ultimate best one ever made..

/Agreed to all of hybrids post to 100% :)

Lazy idiots will still be lazy idiots so I doubt they will care about good advice (which this topic most certainly is)

WoW nice thread i´ll look on all the tutorials :P
Thank you, btw arent u Hybrid?

I found that a really good guide for multi-threading applications in .NET/specifically C#.

When you've been here longer than 2 minutes and you actually KNOW what you're talking about (which you don't) and who Hybrid is... then you can reply
