Aspire now has 2.4.3 support - Completely playable

[TheSpidey]

The AspireDev team is proud to present the first Ascent flavor core to fully support 2.4.3
[2dgreengiant approved of this thread]

The AspireDev team currently consists of Spectre, Pepsi1x1 and myself. We strive to be a stable, working Ascent flavor with emphasis on quality fixes and funserver support.

So far our SVN was public yet little-known. We are now ready to burst into the public as the first fully working 2.4.3 core.

Our core features enhanced funserver support with more hooks, more configurability and other funserver-supportive features than vanilla Ascent. This however does not sacrifice stability, which stands at about 20 hours when 1500+ players are on. Of course it doesn't mean you can only run funservers on this core, blizzlike features remain intact if you do not wish to tweak them.

Our goal is to fix as many bugs and exploits as we can, and add as many features as needed, and all using clean, good code. No hacky fixes, just great code. We aren't afraid to get messy and rewrite big chunks of the core to improve stability or efficiency.

This isn't another attempt to steal Ascent nor is it a call to war. We made this core to avoid the drama which seems to be following WoW emulation.
We fully respect the other flavors and server bases out there, and send our warm greets to them.

Our forums can be found at: AspireDev.com - Index page
Our wiki is right here: Main Page - AspireDev Wiki
The SVN is as follows:
Core: svn://svn.aspiredev.org/AspireCore
Scripts: svn://svn.aspiredev.org/AspireDev

Note that the core comes with most of the stable released scripts under the AspireScripts project file. The Scripts SVN contains scripts under development that you can learn from, or further help to develop.

[Clain]

Downloaded it, compiled it, but it doesnt work for 2.4.3 :/ And yeah, I know how to compile

[HawjPawj]

Ludde, for my own sanity, I sincerely hope that you're wrong xD. Guess I'll compile it and see if it works for me *crosses fingers*

I know how to compile and it seems its missing Svn_revision.h File in ascent-shared so I cant compile the scripts without that error

[TheSpidey]

First of all, forgot to tell you, the 2.4.3 version is in branches/2_4_3, sorry I forgot :P

svn_revision.h should be automatically extracted; If it isn't, extract it manually using the program in the extras folder.

[Ickybad]

Your joking >.> I just compiled this core. Also is this core that you guys are working i noticed its on revision 160 what changes have you made / is iut better then arcemu.

[TheSpidey]

Anyone will say his core is better than others

You can view the log via your SVN client.

What errors are you getting, if any? I compiled it and it works perfectly with my 2.4.3 client

ArcEmu already had full 2.4.3 support since last night..
Just look at their thanks file... they didn't code it themselves.

[Ickybad]

Very true Spidey I like your work man I've began my own EMU but thats a diff story. My server will now use this before it uses arcemu because i care for ascent more.

nice Spidey keep up your great work, i will be checking this out and what db's is this core compatible with?

First of all, last night I checked and saw that they only had partial support - First loading screen of death, then crashes in orgrimmar. They do have 2.4.3 support at the moment.

And if you're talking about our thanks file, you're wrong. Although the encryption is from our friends at WCell, I wish to remind you that they aren't an Ascent flavor, and they code in C#. Pepsi1x1 did the translation, fixed UpdateFields (From what I understand, in a different way than CoolManBob did <3 ), and fixed DBCs. If that is considered "Not coding it themselves" then all Ascent flavors fall under the same category.
