C.O.D.E. is a joined community effort to gather all existing documentation and tutorials for CABAL Online server development, present them in a concise format, and expand upon them with more detailed descriptions of the inner workings of the server and client.
While the forums are a good place to get help and share your ideas and work, people typically find it hard to get the information they need, as it becomes lost in the many pages of the forum. The search function can often help one find this information, but this is not always the case. C.O.D.E. addresses this flaw by arranging information in order of importance (where applicable), and listing it at both the beginning of this book, and the beginning of each chapter. Each sub-chapter also c0ntains a list of common errors associated with the covered material and their fixes (where applicable).
It is our hope that others will take the initiative to help improve this project by contributing guides and information so that we can all benefit from it. If you would like to contribute anything, even if it's just an amendment to some of the material contained here, please don't hesitate to post on the official C.O.D.E. RaGEZONE thread. You can find the thread here, along with a guideline to follow should you decide to write a tutorial:
