Why use a repack -.-

[Vragoth]

Thanks mate! Appreciate it

[Minip2hn]

My list of disadvantages IMO :P
- Malware can be implanted in the core or repack.
- You cannot add scripts or custom edits.
- You cannot update it.
- You have NO clue what your doing, just clicking 4 programs.

1. you CAN have an anti-virus program.
2. you CAN add custom scripts and edits.
3. you're right.
4. you DO HAVE a clue what youre doing once youre trough improvising the conf files.

Its just faster and easier. That's why people use them.

[Bloodsin]

Yea, but the whole thing with repacks is that, there okay but when a new patch comes out, they have to find a new repack to keep up with the competition.... There really good for development though ^^

[Sounddead]

Don't get me wrong though, compiling is the way to go.

[Bloodsin]

That reminds me can anyone link how to do a DB? Mines F**** from hell and back, it crashs from chain lighting -.-

[Metafez]

hi, can anyone give me a link to a good compiling guide?

ive used repacks in the past and ive gotten really tired of em

btw since im one of thoose noobs that havent compiled, i know that compiling is better but i always thought it would take weeks to make it and days to fix one problem, but right now im willing to try it

[jingxuan]

I agree with stoneharry. Everything has two sides.

[loveheart]

Repacks are useful for people who want to start off, or who just dont want to download 200+ for the C++ thing, etc.

[AngelSandy]

Yeah I don't make my own compiles and probably wont be doing it.
I don't got the time nor the patience at the moment to start learning about compiling on a higher level, to end up with a product you can stand by and be proud of.

Repacks are nice for the reasons already stated.
And yes you can actually put scripts in a repack...but yes you would have to find new repacks to keep up, and thats a mess in the end.

I think compiling is good, for those who can. But Repacks are fine for those who don't have that big of a need (Like me). I would probably just "Jump on the wagon" and join a server which is already compiled by someone who could manage that and help them with whatever I can.
