The main focus of the wiki is detailing about the internals of Metin2, do not write about modifications made by other users.

Compatibility of the Client The Metin2 client is ONLY compatible with Windows 2000 or newer operating system. (The newer official versions of the game ships a Chromium Embemmed Framework browser and Steam API, which are not compatible with Windows 2000 or XP. Leaked source code that we have access to DOES NOT include such changes.) The following technologies would need to be changed or upgraded in order to launch the client in a non-Windows envionment! DirectX 8 and Windows 32bit native APIs Metin2 uses a lot of libraries from DirectX. Direct3D8 as a graphic API, which is supressed by Direct3D11 (and optionally Direct3D9, which is the easiest to port). DirectInput, used to grab the mouse and keyboard input (now supressed by Windows native API and XInput2 for joystick). WinSock2 for networking and DirectShow to display the intro videos. And other Windows native API that handles important stuff like window creation, virtual file system (used in EterPacks), file I/O. Today, there are modern libraries (like SDL2) that could be used to provide most of the Windows native API functions (as well as DirectInput and WinSock2). Mesa (open source render driver for linux) DOES support Direct3D9 (which the community has proven that the upgrade is possible). While DirectShow could be changed to any video render library (e.g. Bandicam or Bink) or completely removed. Granny 3D Granny 3D is an animation engine that empowers Metin2. This commercial product is also used in AAA games like The Elder Scrolls: Online, Lineage Forever, Battlefield Bad Company 2 and many more. RAD sells Granny2 licenses to developers for each platform (e.g. the Windows SDK and the Linux one are two different products), as of today, there is no leaked SDK that works for Linux or other machines. The default version that Metin2 uses is v2.4.0.7, although the community has shown that upgrading to v2.9 or v2.11 is possible. Miles Sound System Miles sound system (MSS for short) is the Audio engine that Metin2 uses, developed by RAD, same as Granny 3D. As of today, both version 7 and version 9 are leaked (along with the sources for Linux). Same as Granny 3D, MSS is used in many popular games like Duke Nukem Forever, Warcraft II, Zoo Tycoon 2 and many more. The default version that Metin2 uses is 6.5c. SpeedTree SpeedTree is a commercial tree rendering engine, developed by Interactive Data Visualization, Inc. It is one of the best in the industry, used in AAA titles like Far Cry 5, Assassin's Creed Unity, Battlefield 4 and many more. As of today, the SDK for version 7 is leaked, and the source codes of version 4 are avaiable. The version that Metin2 uses is v1.6.0. Compatibility of the Server The Metin2 server is compatible with both Windows and FreeBSD operating system. It is NOT compatible with any Linux based operative system. The server should be compatible with any BSD variant, as well as CygWin (the source code contains some reference of CygWin). BSD Extensions/File Monitoring Metin2 uses BSD C extensions and FreeBSD native API for monitoring both sockets and files (by using the native API called kqueue). The source code already contains definitions for the BSD C extensions in Windows platform, as well as a working implementation of socket monitoring (using select), but not for the File Monitor. The select implementation does not correctly work under Linux based systems, that would either fix the implementation or add support for epoll. NOTE: There could be more issues in the networking (perhaps related to how Linux handles networking interfaces).
