I played BDO when it first came out and was one of the first ones helping with the development but eventually left for lack of time and interest.
I helped in the coding of the very first version of the emulator and even implemented many fixes that never saw the light.
When BDO first came out, end of 2014, early 2015 it had so many vulnerabilities that were easy to exploit and not as many intricacies as it has now and the trend will continue making it even harder to reverse engineer in the future.
I still get many messages on my discord from people asking me where to start and point them in the right direction. This is the problem with this community; Lack of information!
without proper documentation, sharing a tutorial, and providing information, most developers are not crazy to take on such a big project from scratch without building upon prior knowledge and advancement made by other peers.
The idea here is to democratize information, so newcomers are not discouraged and have more resources at their disposal to start helping and being productive in the community as fast as possible.it's for the benefit of everyone, hobbyists, gammers, and private servers. especially private servers (no one want to play in a bugged half butt working server)
private servers would be able to focus on newer updates and optimization running the server and creating events for their base players instead of wasting their time reverse engineer everything from scratch.
Anyway, I don't wanna make this any longer than necessary, Here is my proposal:
let's build a foundation to make it easy for other people to join the project by creating documentation and tutorials.I cannot do that all by myself, and I ask everyone to participate.here is what to do,create a video, or write steps to flow to do X thingsprovide information about past fixes and new problemif everyone makes a small tutorial or document something and send it to me. I will create a nice library and keep updating it and make it available as a resource for new developers
Once we know exactly what we are doing and have every process documents, the project will be less intimidating to new developers and we can even show it our workflow to more seasoned developer and reverse engineer and get feed back and help from top tier programmers in the field.
