small [project] for DEVs if it is possible

DEVs i wonder if anyone can make a new emulator for rappelz epic 8.1
that uses mysql database with c# ??

i am not a programer ???
i am just poor developer with big dreams :mofo:

for ppl who ask (why) ??
simply because (sqlserver) >>
1. you need to reinstall it (sqlserver) after every time you format your Pc
2. you need to reinstall the server database (auth,arcadia,..) after....
3. you need busy updates to install the sqlserver on your Pc like (sp1)
4. sqlserver with size 1GB
5. work just with windows ??
:(

and mysql (the opposite)
hope that anyone cares and maybe someone will turn my my dream to truth:D

at last sorry for my bad eng...

#EDIT
guys the format is not my problem :handsdown:

the main idea of this project is to get a portable server ??????

you can run it with other platforms like lenux ..etc

and simply put it on your memory and run it with any Pc

like tera & aion & lineage servers :rolleyes:

IS MY IDEA CLEAR NOW :handsdown:

i know what this mean :pimp:
but this just for attracting the attention;)
i know that i am talking about very big project :o:D

I haven't reformatted my computer in 4 years.

Whats going on with your PCs that your concerned about formatting so often?

sorry thndr but the matter is not like it seem
but there is many differences between mysql and sql server
from size to use etc.. :rolleyes:
and you can also use mysql as a portable program on your memory ;)

Well im not sure if you understood his question
he asked you what's going on with you PC that you format it so often he didn't ask you about the difference between MySql & Sql Server since he already knew it :facepalm:

hardcore servers never built for formatting .

i understood his question ;)
simply there is no problems with my Pc
and the (format) is just an example no more no less mate :pimp:
another example if i want to run my server in another Pc
or with other systems like lenux :(
and the whole idea is getting a portable server with mysql :rolleyes:

& I know this is a big project ??:rtfm::rtfm:

but I just wanted to share my IDea :cool:

well if you are a real developper you should have known that @Glandu2 released an auth emulator just few months ago, & that the auth is waaaaaaaaaaaaaay less complicated than gameserver
if you want anyone to build a gameserver from scratch like what @Glandu2 did to auth you have to pay for it or if he wants to do it for free (which is impossible) it will take him very long time
also to make it run in other OS he has to build it in c++

or the easy way which will take few months is to take @Pyrok emulator ask him to tweak it for the 8.1 & make it uses mysql in stead of sql, well since @Pyrok left rappelz long time ago, i don't think that he would do it .


if im wrong any programmer is my guest & correct what i said :)

fine ;)

you understand what i meant

and i know that the key for this topic is glandu2 :D

and well if understand my idea there is no need to run it in other OS

and with C# will be easier (less difficult)

a portable server with windows ?? that is enough for me mate :handsdown:

thanks alot

C# may work on Linux using Mono, but i'm not sure about that (not every .net features are supported). At least the performance would be very low (Java is faster than C# + Mono)

I will take a long time to do that indeed. The auth emu itself takes time because many things can happen and need to be managed. A simple auth is fast to do, but a server with many features around it takes time to do. If the core of the server is already done, doing a GS will take a bit less time because you "only" have to manage high level things, not stuff like logging, configuration, ...

It's probably not that hard, it can be done probably without him. But i'm not sure this emu is bug-free (and some parts may need to be updated, like 8.1 packets)

mysql is portable ? It works on a usb key ?
But anyway, i think that a server should be always online (maybe with a periodic restart like official).

Personally, i have Linux, so that's why i made everything compatible with Linux. I also like when things are fast, so if a GS can work on a raspberrypi without lag (and with a reasonable amount of players, like 50), that's a great job done ^^ (that's why i prefer C++ stuff)

Also, a major thing is the motivation, you need time and motivation to do something like that.

Actually, i though about making a GS after having done with the auth emu. But i prefer to have a solid working base and only then start doing the GS. I also have goals, one is to be able to support several client versions (so no need to copy the whole project to do a GS (or whatever tool) for another version).
I have done that a bit with the auth emu, which support pre-8.2 and post 8.2 clients.
