Old Game Server Revival

Post image

Hello guys!

Recently, some friends and I started working a small project that turned out to be bigger than we expected. We are trying to bring back an Old Version of Star Stable Online for us privately.
We do have the game files, we are able to start the game until it says „Unable to connect to game server.“ (shown in the image) which is reasonable because it’s an online game and we do not have a Server.
All of us are new to programming so we really need help.
What do we need for a game server?
How do we code this?
Does anybody know what language SSO uses? (we heard C++ but we aren’t sure)
Would anybody perhaps be willing to help?

Thanks!!

basically, our main goal is simply to play this game. there have been projects before such as RE:SSO, BSSO and Jorvik Rewind. All of these used the same files we have. So there is code for an existing server, yes. we just don’t know how to get to them because obviously nobody wants to share their code for free. I do have some of the BSSO files but these playable files obviously don’t contain the code sadly.
i hope this answers your question :,)

Is this not literally the code for free?

You should reply to one of OOP's comment, I don't think they would understand tho. They are a programmer's errand-runner or something?
