Okay, the more I read/study and experiment, the more I comprehend how EQ operates. With the Akka installer having the core built files: e.g. world.exe, zone.exe, etc; am I able to do changes to the source (I pulled the source from git,) compile/build it in Visual Studio, then simply drag the new files and overwrite the old files? From there, the t_start_bat should pick up the new file and execute correct?

For some reason I was having major issues with XAMPP and tried setting up my server the old way 3-4 times with no luck (latest issue was having issues with the eqemu_server.pl encountering a world.exe error, in which I read a lot of people were having PATH issues with XAMPP.)

Anyway, I would like to make some changes to the attack.cpp which I see is within zone.exe. If I make changes to attack.cpp, compile the new zone.exe, then override the old file (in Akka's installer,) that should have the desired effect?

Thanks always
