I recently put my 8.54 server up and am going about hosting it like a learning process since I have no programming experience past high school visual basic. As of now my server has an in game aac and am running tfs 0.3.6 with minimal content in my server. I have no idea how to create NPCs, monsters, items, maps, spawns, quests, or even the basic commands on my God character. I'm not expecting a detailed guide on how to make a perfect server and I understand any good server is a result of endless hours of dedication. So this is simply a request for some tips and advice from seasoned hosts and programmers who are feeling generous with their time enough to leave me some words of wisdom. Much thanks.

you can check your commands at data/talkactions/talkactions.xml
you can check NPC's examples at data/npc/
and monsters @ data/monsters/
and maps, you need to download Remere's Map Editor, its pretty simple.(that includes spawns, and you can also add chests with rewards)

Yes, I read those and the majority from this website and a few other credible looking ones, but had no look with any other server. Znote's tutorial helped the most, but for instance, I try to use modern aac, download and install it, go to create an account or access any other link further into the website other than the homepage itself and the loading bar simply sits there, no error or time out, just sits there. So for problems like these and many others that I simply just don't know how to fix and cannot seem to troubleshoot on my own I am at a stand still on my servers progression.

Yeah I used Remere's map editor, but don't know how to utilize any of the tools other than the obvious template editors.

Then you're mcfucked, just mess about in it, I mean you just registered you can't expect to learn everything within matters of days. I've been here for years and I'm still useless with servers, I just stick to mapping.

The editors simple as hell to use, just create new > draw shit > save file > put file in data/world file.
If you have any issues I suggest just posting 1 by 1 then people can answer, it's hard to give you help on everything.

I understand, like I said I know that any good server is a result of hard work and time. And for the editor I mean't more along the lines of making the monsters with their spawn, houses and making them work, etc. Creating content is easy, it's like paint with premade templates.
