what is the mechanism of developing a private source?

Well, i'm a Computer Science student in the Second Grade.

I know some Programming, DataStructures and OperatingSystems thanks to my specialization.

However, I'm not good enough in programming so i wanna ask some question..

Firstly, what topics should i be familiar or professional in the programming?

Secondly, Developing source from the very first like Albertos of Throne ... etc.
What is the mechanism of doing that? .. i mean the developer start with e.g. Monster system tries to code it then, he moves to the Battle and Attack calculations ?

Or How exactly the process is done?

Because i think imma just a user i can only download a source and edit some NPCs, Monster Spawn and so on so on .

I hope i could let you guys understand my meaning.. after all i'm sorry for my bad language it's not my main

before you can start on any of that, you need to get the client connecting to your server

Ahhhh is it something related to networking?

And could you tell me wut's the hardest part in completing source process?

program design and project planning.

Nothing in conquer is all that complicated from a programming standpoint (or at least it's only as complicated as you make it) but if you cannot plan your project ahead of time and figure out how you want things to work then it's very quickly going to become an un-readable mess and you're likely to give up.

Good program design it just a thought process you have to get used to regardless of what you're designing though (and can be one of my weaknesses for sure)

Yeah, but there's such a thing as over planning and getting nothing done. Examples in this community, you'll just need to look.

Well, i think my way is still too long, as i only know until Arrays in programming hahaha.
Any advice brothers?

Learn more before you jump into Conquer then...

You might be better off downloading a public source and write your own system (mob spawns, mob drops etc.)

Once all that goes flawlessly you could start with your own source.

But yeah... You will need to know more before you start though.
