[N00b question] LUA and mangos????

[jeremy7271]

Ok- well this question is VERY broad considering I am just getting in to emulation. IF were to find a certain LUA Script I liked-

1.) How would I know if it works with Mangos?
2.) How do I get it to work with Manogos?
3.) Do I need to do something with Mysql??? If so , what?

- Sorry for being bad D:! But I'd really appreciate some answers- and , to be honest I don't think I know what Im asking, so dont hold back to call me an idiot- just please correct me if you can.

1.) It doesn't
2.) I wouldn't try if you arn't good with C++
3.) No

Sorry for the pessimistic attitude but that is the situation with MaNGOS and lua.

No problem ! Actually THANK YOU! SO- what should I be using and what with that do I need to use?? (and if you're going to tell me to look around ... you'll figure it out- at least point me in the right direction!)

If you want to use lua, the only core that I know of that has support for it is ArcEmu (although Aspire has it, but it's buggy or something like that?).

I doubt it would work but you could try taking the lua addon's code from arcemu and putting it in as a script with scriptdev2, but that probably wouldn't work =P

[Vindicated]

^^ Wouldn't work. It is an engine (a collection of files that make the whole thing "lua" work as a whole), not just one script. And scriptdev2 has really nothing to do with implementing the lua engine :O

[rahburt33]

but don't you need scriptdev2 to p ut custom scripts in (you know like teleporters etc)

[Vindicated]

It's kinda complicated. I'm not really into MaNGOS, but as far as I can tell, scriptdev2 is just a script library, and nothing more. So it would have little to do with the lua engine.

[rahburt33]

Hmm well I ofcourse understood why you are saying the 2 are unrelated =P

AFAIK any extension to Mangos has to use the ScriptDev interface
