I'm not looking to release anything anytime soon, but as somebody who was around back in the isro cap 50-60 days and quitting isro around 100 cap to then end up on pservers such as silkroad salvation, ecsro and zszc (some others more recently a few years ago, but they are nothing compared to the original servers imo)... I have a few questions, with intentions of hopefully one day bringing back a core experience that the original silkroad was all about - ie, for the players and not pay to win **** that dies in a month.
So some quick questions as somebody who has no real experience on the dev side of things.
1. Are there any existing files i can use and then run/host myself privately to test things out with? If not, how would i go about obtaining good files (not full of exploits purposely added by other people here hosting them for the purpose of easy hacks maybe?) to use for this?
2. what coding language would i need to spend time learning? I'm a frontend web dev... while this wont mean **** in the game files, would it be c# or python? And how complex is this? is it something a month or 2 of learning could be a realistic goal to work with?
