Introduction In WoW Private Server Art

Thank you. From your words I understand that : I should do a 3.3.5 Trinity Core and become a better c++ programmer. And Ill update to 4.x when the patch will be properly supported! This being a good occasion to learn c++ and to understand better WoW.
Btw, why your using ArcEmu?

offtopic: It is possible to downpatch from 4.0.3 to 3.3.5a ?

I don't believe so.

As Eradicator said.

Why do I use ArcEmu?

Because back in the day, Mangos was terrible and Antrix dominated the emulation scene. So I started learning that. I stuck with it as it from Antrix to Ascent, to OpenAscent, to ArcEmu/Aspire, to just ArcEmu... It's just what I've learnt to use and how the core functions. I'm not that great at C++ either, so Lua has been a powerful resource for me to utilise for when my knowledge is lacking in the C++ field. ArcEmu also has much greated customistaion support, not just from 3rd party programs but the way the data is parsed through the database rather than the DBC's, and the much friendlier structure in general.

For others, I would recommend TrinityCore since even though they are relatively new (based of Mangos) they have achieved a great deal and will probably go on to lead the emulation scene. But for myself, I'm used to ArcEmu and can construct some brilliant content using it. Learning how Trinity is structured and how it works... It's just a taunting task that I am not interested in remotely.

Ok stoneharry, Ill make a TrinityCore and I start learning C++ harder!
Should I learn LUA too? does it help me to customize my Server better?

Is this a good TuTorial? : How-to:Win - TrinityCore Wiki .

That is the best and official guide to compiling TrinityCore and setting it up.

Lua is a great programming language in its self even if it is interpreted, there are reasons it's used by thousands of companies around the world including Blizzard its self. It's very popular and a very easy language to start with.

However within emulation, Lua is slow and lacking compared to its use in the real world. Although Lua in emulation is becoming much better, especially with the recent implementation of LuaBridge, it is still not great and will execute much slower than any C++ script written. TrinityCore does not have Lua support.

Thank you harry. Im sorry cuz Lua is not supported by TrinityCore but I hope this will not stop me from making a good WoW server. As I said in other reply`s , this is a good Occasion to learn c++ !!!
Thanks again for everything and Il post here everything which I want to know!
