Need some help making a private server

[jeanke75]

Ok I really need some help over here. There is this game that isn't online anymore but I still got it's client.. There have been people before trying to revive the game, by building the serverside back up out of the client files. I know it will take a lot of time but I'm willing to spend some free time in order to at least try and get this thing working again. Those guys had a server running but didn't have everything working, but after some time it disappeared off the internet. Is there anyone here who can get me on my way on how to ge this thing going??
I just don't know where to start..

All help would be appreciated, if you guys have any questions just ask them and I'll try answerring them as good as possible.

Thanks in advance.

Whats the name of the game?

Thang online, ever heard of it? Anyways it's just, I really loved that game, even though it doesn't have the best of graphics. I just liked the gameplay. It doesn't have to become a private server, as long as I can get this thing workin again even if it's only for me then I'd be happy. If I get this thing working then I'd probably post it on some dl site for people that loved the game to dl it again and play it. I don't need any money for it I just want to be able to play this game again

edit: I have the installer of the latest client on my computer and you can also find it on the web if you want to take a look at the files.
