Regarding distributability and usage of the code presented here: like it was before, this MapleStory server is open-source. By that, it is meant that anyone is **free to install, use, modify and redistribute the contents**, as long as there is **no kind of commercial trading involved** and the **credits to the original creators are maintained** within the codes.

+This server source should be built and run on Java 8 in order to run properly -- used to be ran in Java 7, thanks kolakcc (Familiar) for the Java 8 support!
-Being a NetBeans 8.2 Project, this means that it's easier to install the project via opening the server project folder inside NetBeans' IDE. Once installed, build this project on your machine and run the server using the "launch.bat" application.
+Consider using an IDE for setting up the server source into a project. Once mounted the project, build it on your machine and run the server using the "launch.bat" application.
In this project, many gameplay-wise issues generated from either the original WZ files and the server source have been partially or completely solved. Considering the use of the provided edited WZ's and server-side wz.xml files should be of the greatest importance when dealing with this instance of server source, in order to perceive it at it's full potential. My opinion, though!
- In other case, as fallback from the provided ones, consider using **whole clean set**. Selecting part of the provided ones to play pretty much *may eventually* lead to unexpected issues.
-The main objective of this project is to try as best as possible to recreate what once was the original MapleStory v83, while adding up some flavors that spices up the gameplay. In other words, aim to get the best of the MapleStory of that era.

+#### Configuring the project
-Now open NetBeans, and click "Open a project..." . Select then the "HeavenMS" folder, that should already be a project recognizable by NetBeans. If it isn't, you have a problem.
+Now open NetBeans, and click "New project...". Opt for creating one "with existent code".
