[Help] Understanding the Server Files better

[bprzemek]

Hey, this is a question to more experiences admins and to programmers who worked closely with server files. Could you help me and other fresh admins better understand what each of the Server Files / parts are responsible for, or direct to the right guide?

1. There usually are "modules" of the server like:
CS, ExDB, GameServer, JoinServer, DataServer, etc.

2. There are configuration files like:
IpList.dat or MapServer.dat, Configs.ini, etc.

3. There are libraries like:
JoinServer.dll, sqlapi.dll, mumsg.dll, etc.

4. There are tools like:
MuEditor, MuMaker, etc.

Some of the files are easy to grasp and understand what they configure, but it would be great to have a high-level overview how it all works together Thank you!
