# OpenShaiya – Native C++ Shaiya Server Source
**A complete server-side reimplementation focused on original Shaiya gameplay behavior.**
Hello elitepvpers community,
I would like to introduce **OpenShaiya**, a Shaiya server software project developed from the ground up in C++.
Unlike traditional server file packages that rely on modifying existing server executables, OpenShaiya follows a different approach.
The server-side architecture and gameplay systems have been rewritten in C++, using reverse engineering and behavioral analysis of the original Shaiya server as technical references.
The main objective was to reproduce the original gameplay experience while providing a source code foundation that developers can inspect, modify, maintain, and extend.

### What makes OpenShaiya different?
**Native C++ implementation**
The server is built around a C++ codebase rather than depending on patched original game server executables.
**Reverse-engineered gameplay behavior**
Original server behavior has been studied to reproduce network interactions, gameplay mechanics, combat calculations, skills, items, and other server-side systems.
**EP5 / EP6 development focus**
The project follows an EP5-based foundation, with work dedicated to supporting EP6 gameplay data, mechanics, and client behavior.
**Full source code access**
The offering is focused on the server source code, not simply a preconfigured private server package.
**Customizable architecture**
Developers can modify gameplay logic, expand systems, investigate bugs, and develop their own features directly in C++.

### Technical overview
- Language: C++
- Development environment: Visual Studio 2022
- Platform: Windows
- Database: Microsoft SQL Server
- Server-side game logic and packet processing
- Character and account-related systems
- Combat and damage calculations
- Skills, buffs, debuffs, and status effects

### Development philosophy
OpenShaiya was developed with one primary goal:
**Reproduce original Shaiya server behavior through a maintainable, independently developed C++ implementation.**
The project emphasizes understanding and implementing the underlying mechanics rather than applying temporary binary patches.
This makes OpenShaiya especially relevant to experienced Shaiya developers, private server operators, and teams looking for source-level control over their server software.
