Switch to OpenAscent Worth it?

[Algorithm]

Hey guys, i was wondering.

Well i compiled brand new copy of openascent latest rev.

tried it on my home pc, looks fine, didint test much.

Whats your oppinions is it worth it switching from Ascent to Openascent?

1. Not worth the switch yet IMO.

2. If you are running the logonserver and world server on the same machine

<LogonServer RemotePassword = "XXXXXX"
             AllowedIPs = "127.0.0.0/24"
             AllowedModIPs = "127.0.0.0/24">

127.0.0.1/24 will allow all IP's and PC's to connect to your ascent so the players can play.

No, 127.0.0.1/24 is 127.0.0.XXX

No, 127.0.0.1/24 is 127.0.0.XXX

Which if you have changed your hosts file it will register with your dynamic dns which should make it public.

127.0.0.1/24 will allow your LOCAL server to connect to itself. Thats it. Your hosts file has NOTHING ZERO ZILCH to do with "public" in any way.

I have told people to put 127.0.0.1/24 and it has made their server public fine for them, same goes for my server both the one on my computer and on the dedicated.

[waymirec]

Then perhaps the CIDR parsing should be corrected as 127.0.0.1/24 is not a global/public definition.

That got off-topic fast.

OpenAscent seems to be just as stable as the last public revision of Ascent from Burlex's SVN. All LUA and C++ scripts have compiled and functioned just as they always have.

It even has support from the Ascent Blizzlike Database team, so all hope isn't lost.

Since, Ascentemu.com has been taken down, I believe the OpenAscent will be the best place to look for patches and updates for Ascent and OpenAscent users.

I run openascent rev 102 and its very stable
