OrpheusMS

What is OrpheusMS?

OrpheusMS is a MapleStory private server, and repack developed by Aaron Weiss, based on the MoopleDev source. It's a project started solely for the sake of wasting my own time. It's made for MapleStory v.83, and aims to be as professional as possible.

Why OrpheusMS?

As a developer, I love to spend time programming, but my ideas are often limited for a large variety of reasons. This was a project that I thought was perfectly reasonable to do, and I got caught up in the idea after reminiscing about my experiences with private servers many years ago.

What about features? What makes OrpheusMS great?

If I had to pick just one thing, I'd say that it's the ease of customizability. My goal, as I added feature upon feature, was to make sure that users could pick and choose exactly how they'd like their server to be set up, in a manner that was simple, clear, and effective. This stands above other server sources that make no effort to aid future users in quickly, and clearly enabling or disabling features at a whim. The configuration files are transparent, and give as much information as needed to understand what each feature does, and I believe that truly is something that makes Orpheus unique, and an obvious best choice for v.83 servers.

What's in a name?

OrpheusMS is a name that attempts to pay homage to one of the original powerhouses of the MapleStory private server scene, OdinMS, by utilizing a different mythological being in its name. The transition from Odin, a powerful god of War, to Orpheus, a humble musician and poet, is intended to show respect to its origins.

What MoopleDev revision is OrpheusMS based off of?

The project began based off of revision 116, but as it is continuing to be updated, I will merge whatever changes I see fit onto my source. So, you shouldn't really expect it to always be close to the head revision of MoopleDev.

Can I use OrpheusMS?

This question should be kind of obvious, as you're pretty much staring at the source code for it right now, but absolutely! I love the idea of someone else taking advantage of the work I put in, and that's why I've made this project open source. Feel free to use it as you will!

Is there any licensing on OrpheusMS?
