Source files advice

[.Mnaauuu 0]

Hi everyone,

I would like to ask experienced people here for their opinion regarding the source files. After many years I would like to return to Metin2 development and I honestly don't know which source files are currently the best. From what I have looked at so far in other posts, Marty's and Owsap's source files have often been praised (but these are older posts).

So the question is, which source files are better, or how do they differ, and how does one have an advantage over the other? For example, are Marty's source files better suited for oldschool servers, and conversely are Owsap's files better suited for modern servers? What about code quality, for example does Marty have better code quality in terms of code standards, code cleanliness or are they similar? Which source files contain fewer bugs and which source files are more suited for servers with larger populations and how stable are they?

Alternatively, are there other, higher quality source files? I would like to point out that price is not a factor here, I would like to have the highest quality base for my server.

I would be grateful for any advice and insights you may have. Thank you.

These ones aren't the best but are free.
Easy to work and understand.

Thank you for your advice. But I'm really looking for the best quality source files that can currently be bought, which is certainly not to devalue the files you sent - I just assume that Marty's, Owsap's (or someone else's?) files will be better quality. I'm really looking for the best source base for my server.

But I don't know where Marty's files have advantages (and disadvantages) over Owsap's files (and vice versa). That's why I wanted to ask for advice.

Open up kraizy.tgz, compile mainline release and you good to got, the best source out there. Add some fixes and you can go live and earn some juicy money (͡ ͡° ͜ つ ͡͡°)

Marty:

• Clean
• Has some systems, but not that many(it's up to date with the official structures and stuff afaik)
• Most people use it when they want to start on a clean base
• Dev is Italian.

Owsap:

• Has pretty much every single shit Ymir left in it since 2004, because why not
• A shitload of systems
• Most people get it because of the previous point
• Dev is NOT Italian. Edit: Actually idk if he's italian or not

 

So I guess it just comes down to whether you like Italians or not.

PS: You can buy both of them and send them to me so I can brag I have both and use none, thx.

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.
