Silkroad Online: reconstructing SR_GameServer
Silkroad Online's SR_GameServer is being reconstructed in C++ from research into native server behavior. The repository includes game and server logic, supporting libraries, evidence notes and focused regression tests. Its documented reference is a v1.188 executable, and the implementation remains incomplete.
