I have zero experience with code.

That said, I would like to read the code and make my own comments. No better way to learn than to get your hands dirty.

Also implement the skill tree on the main server and gather some real data

im pretty sure reading this source code would do you more harm than good.

I am bored, this game has problems and bug. Reading is entertainment for me. This adds up to me looking for a puzzle.

all the lua scripts in the pak files are unobfuscated text. i guess pgi doesnt know that you can compile it down to bytecode.

OK, seriously, you do not want that.

There are things man was not meant to see.

Are you familiar with the Necronomicon? There are things worse, and seeing the Code, unshielded, in all its horrible glory, would drive you to madness. Imagine a sea of tangled logic that connects every aspect of the universe to everything else in ways that make no sense. Change one thing, and everything else fails. Imagine a world where turning on a light in the morning results in your car exploding in the afternoon, maybe... or maybe not. Imagine a world of lifeless grey, where everything has been "balanced" to the point where nothing is recognizable. Imagine a world severed from reality, now crumbling away as a baleful, doomed star hangs over the charred binary landscape, an inky black ocean of 0's and 1's lapping at your feet. And something screams in the distance - and you realize that it was your own mind.

No, you don't want to see the Code.

I suppose you could break down the code in the program in your machine with the right software tools, but the code in their severs (which is responsible for the game play in general) should not be accessible without illegal hacking.

Why do you want access to the source code? If you're unfamiliar with programming, it'll be as if you're reading some ancient hieroglyphics or latin. A foreign language. To you, anyway. If you want to learn? There are guides online.

Anyone remember that commodor 64 magazine, it came out in the 1980's

They used to have games in the back in what was called machine code
You had to type it in with no mistakes

Lol talk about back in the day
Anything can be learned
I would think things are easier these days at least I hope so

You have to look at it in code. The image construct works FOR the matrix.
