Serious request for guidance

[Yazoo]

Hello to all,

I would very much like to embark on the final phase of my project, I love aion and now thanks to a lot of subjects I

have been able to understand how the client works. I am very grateful to you and I intend to release an entire topic

on "how to translate any client". But I would now like to learn how to create an emulator, I would like to build it

around an unmodified client but I don't know where to start. I had the idea to find an emulator with its source and

to try to modify it but I think I risk doing a lot of bullshit and it would be a job that wouldn't make me happy. If I

would like to know it's not to sell it or have power, it's just that I consider myself a blacksmith who goes from

dagger forging to sublime armor. Thanks for reading and have a nice day.

Download an emulator, run it, trial and error different aspects. You'll figure it out in time.

Rome wasn't built in a day.

ok thanks, do you think i can use an aion classic 2.0 client on an old 2.0 emulator? (I think not but you never know)

Only way to know for sure is to try it, give it a go on a 2.0 client and see if it works. I'm going to guess and say no because of the new game guard protection.

game client 2.0 classic is not compatible with the old emulator 2.0

Erf... I can't take shortcuts like electricity xD . Besides, to my knowledge, I've seen only one private server using aion classic, I was a little surprised not to see them everywhere. In any case, thank you for your answers, it's always nice to have your opinions, it allows you to move forward and understand that nothing is easy xD.

Is it better to start with a 2.0 emulator or can I start my research on a 7.8 emulator? Because I would admit that I would like to work with jdk 8 than 7.

I started with 1.9 and it was the first emulator i built, then 2.5 onwards,
3.0-3.5 was better for me. Today i would recommend to you the 2.0 or better,
but i don't recommend 7.8.

Thank you for your answer, I will therefore follow your advice, I have the 2.7 source but not the 2.5 so I will go on this path.

JDK 8 has was released in 2013, I wouldn't recommend continuing use with JDK 8. Update the core to the latest JDK 17 LTS for support until 2024, if you are rebuilding a core entirely, use a modern programming language.

Using a core between 2.0 and 3.5 is probably best, the higher you go, the more content there is and more complicated the content becomes. Many years ago I was programming a 2.7 core and it was the most smooth experience.

Thank you, actually I bought a pro book to learn java and they use jdk 17 (since the book was released last March). I will do as you advised me, I will first learn java and then I will tackle improving and dissecting the 2.7 server. Basically I thought aion emulators were in javascript x).
