[Epic Release] ArcEmu WotLK Core

[TheNlghtmare]

ROFL, I just checked arcemu source code and whole achievement system is copied from mangos without giving a single credit. Nice job, arcemu "developers".

I haven't looked at the rest of the code but everything else is probably copypasta too, just with some small modifications. Really nice job indeed. /sarcasm
svn log where coolmanbob posted "going to implement my achievement system later today" as if it was made by him.

EDIT: Much other wotlk code are just copy & paste too with some small modification to fit arcemu, including barbershop.

what if.. no.. wait.. yea.. what if the source is just that close to that of mangos...
it's not like codes are going to vary greatly in numbers and in detail.. now on the other hand if there a little tid bits of *Mangos 2008* around some notepad files you've found, then please by all means share them so we can see what you're talking about.

how does the saying go.. right...
Pics or GTFO! :wave::beerbang::hf::gtfo2::gtfo2:

I'm not saying you're a liar... but it's annoying to hear that people steal from everyone. Hey man, if ArcEmu is the more stable emu, I'll being using that. I'm talking about in the future obviously!

ArcEmu has been doing quite a good job again lately, and I can't wait to see more from them.

One last thing. If it's open source it's not stealing.

If it's made to be decompiled, it's not stealing.

Everyone enjoy and test the core in order to contribute please.

Everytime when i try to enter the cities i get kicked from the server... i only used the ad.exe files. Do i need to get vmaps to? THen how i extract them? :P

*sighs* Why the hell would I take pictures of the code? Just look for yourself in AchievementMgr.cpp, AchievementMgr.h, DBCEnums.h (mangos), and if you look in Player.cpp you will see their own achievement system (it's horrible) which they commented out when they imported the code from mangos.

it's not like codes are going to vary greatly in numbers and in detail

It's not just "close to the same", every comment and spaces are exactly the same (except in achievementsmgr.cpp where they removed all comments for some reason). If you're not VERY stupid you would see it's just copy and paste. Just look for yourself.

Because they have started to copy from mangos. That's what I'm trying to say. They have no real reverse engineer, they have no one that actually have some real knowledge about how the client works together with the server. So they copy from mangos, and it's not the first time. They copied the whole vmap system too, and of course a lot of other small things like spells, new packet structure and opcodes in client updates etc.

One last thing. If it's open source it's not stealing.

If it's made to be decompiled, it's not stealing.

Yes, it's open source and they can copy stuff but It's very childish and immature to not give credits and instead trying to claim it's their own work, and still they say "it's no competition".

ArcEmu IS FTW!!!!


MANGOS IS GONNA FAIL AND BE GONE IN FEW MONTHS!!

AND ArcEmu IS just GETTING Better And BETTER by The MINUTE!!!!

This gotta be the most retarted post I've ever seen on mmowned. How old are you?

It's always fun to see repack users post stuff like this when they don't know anything about programming at all. If you would have just some basic programming knowledge you would see, just by looking at the code, that arcemu is in no way better or more stable. Their coding style is horrible, hacky code everywhere, magic numbers, no spaces, you can even see crashes in some functions. The reason why you think it's better is because they have more ingame commands and has different color in chat (OMG!), because that's the only thing they can code.

Well I do have to agree, give credit where credit is due. But on the other hand, it is still open source which is made to be modified. And if you think about it the way I am thinking about it, if your'e right, by ArcEmu implementing things over from Mangos into their emulator means they are able to copy things over from a well maintained emu into an emu that is allowed to go public and is a little more stable. This specific version of the emu has yet to be commented on it's stability from users though. Time will tell that part.

Oh.. and I don't have the time to sit around and debunk facts by sitting around my pc and searching to see if ArcEmu devs are copying codes or not =/. That is plain silly.

currently running a public test of this repack http://www.mmowned.com/forums/wow-em...ort-3-0-x.html
all are welcome

[giveen]

Could someone host the files on something besides RapidShare?

[blink182_rulezz]

Cool, now I'm waiting for my WoTLK download to finish.

Great! I will be testing this during the earliest hours of the morning.

[Espionage724]

So about this repack...

1. Do DK's work?
2. Is Northerend Accessible and if so how?

I have my own WotLK server up and both of those questions happen to be directed at my server...

I used the lastest ArcEmu btw

[Vaniq]

The one thing The NIghtmare says that makes sense to anyone with a brain; open source, it's meant to be modified and re-released. Hence the "open". The biggest issue I have with the entire WoW emulator community is this obsession with needing credit, constantly. Yes, it is honorable to say where you ganked your code from if you did not write it... but I imagine the most popular word in this forums index of searchable words is the word "credit". Some of you people are just insane with taking credit, like it somehow makes your lives have meaning.

Seriously. Just put out good, quality code/data... your rep will speak for itself.

On topic: I am still waiting for one post of WotLK core that actually works and does what it says. If it takes 2 more mos, so be it. Take your time, do it right (and honorably) and the world will magically become a better place to dwell.

Everyone knows that ArcEmu is running on purely stolen content from other emulators. But yet, we still use it. Perhaps the developers of the other emulators should ponder that question for a while,and stop crappin' about their stolen content, eh?

[Noobcraft]

Arcemu is not the best it is a emu that is based on lies and stolen content people should start realizing that insted of saying arcemu is win and mangos(aspire,newascent, etc) will fail, if anything ascent(arcemu,aspire,newascent) will fail and mangos will come up on top.

1. Is there any way to enter Northrend? ( the new island) if so... how do I do it?

2. Is it posible to play with Deathknight. I want to play with some friends over hamachi but there is pretty laagy also. Is it something with the repack or is it my comp?

3. please give us guides. Just downloading a repack won't help everyone :P. I got it to work after a while tho wasn't verry hard.

4. Is there any command list? I have used arcemu before but the comamnds have definetly changed :P

5. There are no WOTLK Items and no WOTLK npcs. Do I need like another DB or something? How do I fix everything so its working with WOTLK?
I asked a guard after the barber shop and he directed me to the Tailoring trainer in Duncan Textiles (Stormwind) this is easy to fix but Its not that.
I think there is no WOTLK items and No WOTLK npcs and no WOTLK nothing. Its just like a scale. You see Deathknight in gray and you see northrend on map. But nothing of them works. This works with WOTLK patch 3.0.3 but you can't enter anything on WOTLK. So its just a scale.
I don't blame anyone for that. I think its gr8 that it works with WOTLK and patch 3.0.3 I just wonder if there is any way to like... fix this? is there any batch file with the items/npcs atleast?

6. Whats the .worldport to Northrend? just give me a (mapid) (x) (y) (z) Ty

Good job Everyone
