 Questions: Emulating an old MMORPG / Making a small private server
Hello everyone! I am here to ask for your help/guidance before I post a job to hire programmers on the Careers section.To simply put it I would like to make a small private server of this pretty old MMO that has been dead for years.I have most (if not all) of the official game files (BridgeServer, LoginServer, PatchServer, GameServer, database, and so on) as well as the player client itself, but I do not have the brains to piece them all together as I am a non-programmer.Someone recently made a PS of the game and it's very wonky and full of problems, and as far as I know, they did not have all of the official files, so that tells me it is possible to make a PS of the game, I just need to find programmers with the abilities.I am aware that I need to find someone that knows how to work with SQL and C# (and/or C++) to be able to set up the PS, but I do not know what else I need to look for in the progammers I want to hire.Not sure if it's worth mentioning but this MMO runs on gamebryo engine.That said, what should I look for in the programmers I want to hire?And while we're at it, do you know any websites/forums/discord servers where I can look for progammers/tech that are looking for this sort of job?I'm sorry if this sounds halfassed but I really appreciate any advice you'd have to offer.Thank you in advance!
Bumping this since I didn't find any programmers yet!;Velvet said:what should I look for in the programmers I want to hire? And while we're at it, do you know any websites/forums/discord servers where I can look for progammers/techMoved to Production/Management forum.;I am a software developer and I write code from scratch. I am a huge gamer in my free-time and when I'm not delving into other technology related content, I enjoy creating programming code. I have some questions and comments, thusly I am really interested in this sort of job and/or project. I would like to emphasize on a couple of points:TCP/IPSecurityPS? (I don't understand the meaning.)If you are curious you can check my website out at http://www.ketahazure.net​  I am hosting ports 11, 1528, 1529, 8888. This is real example of the type of data connection that I am currently building into my own software. I am confident that I am the perfect candidate for this role. Please contact me, I am excited about this type of project and have some ideas that I would like to discuss. ;ketahazure said:PS? (I don't understand the meaning.)Took me a while, too. From context: “private server”
