Bro, I just made a topic about the same thing here: I think you didn't notice it. Anyway, you should take a look at my topic. It's only been a few months since I started it and it has a lot of comments.

Great! I was more interested in the documentation part of the project structure, the debugging of the project and stuff like that. As I said in the initial post of the topic, I have a good knowledge of programming at an advanced level, including C and C++ languages, but I am not familiar with Metin structure. And since Martysama reworked much of the code, I figured he also documented where he possibly could, so that those who want to work with his files have a relatively consistent starting point. Thanks a lot for the info! I see you're from Romania, just like me. Would you agree to keep in touch on Discord? I'll send you my address in a private message.

Great! Thank you so much for this information! I'm really starting to have a better vision about the developer I'm going to choose. I am thinking more about Martysama because I want something clean for now and the fact that you mentioned about his documentation makes this a better option. Although, I have a question. Can you please give some examples of things you needed to learn and actually learned from his documentation?

Thanks for the answer! I will take it into consideration when I make the purchase. As for the marketing part, I assure you and everyone else who is more overly curious about the reason for posting that the purpose of this post is strictly to make my personal opinion as solid as possible as to which of the two great developers to go with. I point out that I don't know either of them personally and have never bought anything from either of them. Yes, I somewhat understand your skepticism, as some of those who have responded seem to be overvaluing the ones they bought from, as if they only favor them to increase their audience as if they have something to gain from it. It's up to them whether they want to put those who bought in a good light, or not. I'm strictly interested in the opinions about the quality and reliability of the two developers' services. Anyway, I am able to take from the opinions of those who state here strictly what interests me in order to build a clearer view of the services and quality of services of the two developers. Because I aim for a serious and qualitative project. All the best!

Thanks for the answer, @ Macaroni Cheese! I see that v5.6 (v5-ex-r467) is now the latest one that is available and can be purchased. Is there a reason why are still using V4?

Thanks for the answer! Martysama offers documentation on how to use his resources as far as I know. Did you manage to see this documentation somehow? And if so, how do you find it? I ask because I master C++ and Python, and understand programming at an advanced level, but on Metin files I'm not very experienced (I'm referring to the code architecture and how it was designed). For example, if I read a piece of code I can recognize what's going on there, but I don't know exactly how Metin is organized in the backend.

UP! I am waiting for other opinions from clients

Thank you for the information! They are extremely helpful in making a good decision! I'm tilting more and more towards Martysama's product, although he is not as active as Owsap. Primarily because of the price difference, quite large I might say, compared to Owsap's product. Personally, I prefer to pay less for the source files, but also to invest money in systems like a quality Offline Shop (paid of course), the marketing part is again very important.. and so on. Anyway, I want to dive into the project after finishing my bachelor degree, because I'm on the last hundred meters with it, so I have time to think about making the best decision in choosing one of the two products, in terms of price-quality ratio. If you like, I'd be happy to keep in touch on Discord in case there are any more questions coming from me. Other opinions or suggestions are still welcome in this topic.

Hi, @ WeedHex! I assume you are one of Martysama's clients. Can you please give me some information about your collaboration with him? For example, if the documentation offered by him when you purchase the product is well done and prepared even for beginners in the area of Metin servers (not necessarily in programming). And pretty much your experience with his product.

Thank you for your answer! It is very useful for me! Yes, perhaps my formulation was not the best. I was interested to find out if there is any difference in security between the two projects. Of course both developers promise qualitative security, but I would like to know how it is from a customer's point of view. About SQL injection, I know how I can protect the website that is linked to the database, but I remember a certain bug (a long time ago), where someone could do sql inject directly from the client. But again, I've heard about this bug years ago.

Thanks for the advice! I will keep it in mind. You mentioned that you worked with both projects. On Martysama's project how easy to modify what you need compared to Owsap's? For example disabling, adding other systems? Compatibility issues when adding certain systems in terms of code? And I guess the security level is high on both projects, right? There is no question of backdoors or being exposed to SQL injections, memory leaks and all sorts of problems common to Metin servers? I'm also still waiting for opinions from other members to get a clearer picture of the situation.

Hello! I've been wanting to open a private Metin server for a while... I've created and managed a few servers in the past, but in the meantime I've been busy with other more important things like computer science college, moving away from home and starting my own life. I keep looking over the Owsap Project specs and comparing them to Martysama's. Both have many fixes done and promise stability, reliability, and the right authors guarantee professionalism. I don't want to deny these claims, on the contrary I am glad that there are still people like these in this field working on such projects. I ask you, those who are more active than me on this forum and in this field, but also those who have purchased from either Martysama or Owsap: which of the two products to choose? Many people have suggested that I don't need to buy them, as they are leaked on various online forums. Maybe 4-5 years ago I would have agreed with this approach, but now I want to buy from them because I want to support the developers because I know how much work is involved. I want a classic, stable server, without too many new systems and most importantly I want it to be long lasting. I should mention that I am currently working as a programmer and also have other stable sources of income. I don't want to get rich from this server or turn it into my Nth source of income. I am willing to pay for source files, various resources bought from developers, technical maintenance services if needed, etc.

I understand. Thank you! Have a nice day, man!

Hello, Mali! Sorry for off-topic, but I couldn't reach you anywhere Why did you removed your repositories on GitHub? Is everything OK? I'm curious because I had some links to your repos, for me to further implement on my project. Again sorry for off-topic! If you want to contact me and talk, my Discord is: Toni#2548

I can confirm your statement about VS Code. I used it a lot for different projects. So, if I got it right, I can just drag & drop my server source into VS code and the intellisense would work just fine (auto-completion, parameters info. for methods and so on) ?
