Ok, unfortunately I'm very outdated on setting up a new server as I only used to know the hexing process back in the day. Could someone please summarize a quick guide in English on how to get my own server up and running? I have visual studio installed and should have the necessary files but I'd appreciate it if someone could tell me which files to open and modify, what to do with the client, and how to start up the servers, and lastly the client. Thanks in advance!

Cant really tell you which sources you should use but overall process of setting up a server these days:

1. Download a fitting your need hb sources
2. Compile them in Visual Studio
3. In most cases (some sources might be file based, not database) setup some Mysql server (like Xampp)
4. Setup correctly all the configs (GServer.cfg etc)
5. Enjoy the pain of fixing bugs and having an outdated tech client :P (as pretty much all of them are in DX7 DDRAW, which is not working well with most of modern devices).

Cheers.
