Differences...

[B14d3r11]

Okay guys I've made a Private Server before and i'm not a Noob so i do know what Most of Mangos is, All i want to know is, What is the difference between all of the other Emulators Compared to mangos. Thanks in Advance.

MaNGOs - Probably the most blizzlike bugless server, but hard to customize as it doesn't support scripting if you don't know C++. If you do, then go with MaNGOS.

ArcEmu - Most widely used emulator out there, supports Lua, and is updated frequently. Its recently undergoing changes in staff and it could prove to make the emulator better. (Doesn't support 3.1)

Aspire/Hearthstone - Lots of bug fixes and with some of the latest commits, it may be the most bugless emulator behind MaNGOS. Some big names working there and a lot of people deidcated to good coding and premium fixes. I'm sure Aspire will be become huge soon. (Has a 3.1 branch)

All the other emulators I don't really know a lot about. Not enough to explain to you why to choose it.

Hope that helped.

Thanks man, so when i first chose MaNGOS it was a good idea right? But because it doesn't support LUA I wont be able to make as much Custom things correct?

What Programs would you suggest for Both MaNGOS & ArcEmu (I decided i like this better out of the rest(besides MaNGOS))

I need programs that make quests,Items & Such cause im too lazy to keep putting the code in manually (I don't know how to just Shove it in thru Mysql & Crap)

A good program for ArcEmu is the DBE editor. I will post a link when it's finished uploading.

TY Man i was just SVNing the ArcEmu Stuff and now i got addons to use for it. Next I will be asking for help with Scripts (But thats another time and another forum)

Edit: Ok guys I Got the SVN for ArcEmu & im done i just don't know how to set it up. If you can link to a tut w/ pictures/video than that would be awesome.

Completely depends on what you want to do. If you just want to create custom NPCs, items, quests etc it wont be any harder than ascent, probably even easier since there are better tools for it. Quice is a good database tool for mangos: Quice - MaNGOS DataBase Editor You can edit most things in DB with it. In MaNGOS you can use Scriptdev2 (C++) or EventAI (SQL) for scripting, there's a guide/documentation for it in source code.

Ascent users don't have any other argument, that's why they say it's hard to customize mangos and you need to learn C++ to do it, but there are many people starting with zero c++ skill and still creates scripts in scriptdev2, it isn't that hard. You can just copy from examples or other custom scripts and do some modifications and you will learn it after a while.

Yea, thats how i started coding characters for a mod ESF, it was a mod for Half-Life that was all Dragon Ball Z Like. It had all the new characters and transformations i was attempting to make a "Evil" Goku thats all dark and sinister but the code never seemeed to work, and no one ever helped me.

Well on to the subject I am going to use ArcEmu i don't know if it is that same as another Emulatior & Just has a different name, idk. But the real thing is now i need some help properly getting the ArcEmu Ready to be transported to another computer when needed(Im using another comp as a dedicated host). So pretty much its gonna be like All setup w/ rates and everything. All ready to be Used in Mysql & Such.
