ArcEmu 3.3.5 Restarter?

[Krang Stonehoof]

I know these things. But everyone's just talking about how bad it is, not telling us what other options are out there. If you're going to a guy at an Apple store and you're telling him how bad iMacs are, it won't help him, he will just be confused. Give us (By us I mean the people who still use ArcEmu) other options.

Personally I don't really want to change it because I'm in emulation since 2009 or so and I know ArcEmu perfectly, and Lua too.

But if you would be able to say why I should choose Trinity, how I can still do the stuff I could on ArcEmu in Lua, on a Trinity, it would probably change my mind and I will move to Trinity.

I'm actually looking to do a custom expansion, that would mean to have scripted quests, custom dungeons and so many other stuffs I doubt I will be able to do without Lua. (Yes, C++, but I'm looking to start as fast as I can the development. There won't be that much time to learn to do these things, even if I know basic C++).

And there are many other things that you can explain us instead of letting us know a few things we know already.

I would really like to read a few tips & tricks about how I can go from ArcEmu to Trinity and still be friendly with almost everything there.

Trinity does not have the same stability issues and bugs, though the code is still relatively bad in a lot of places. Continuing to use ArcEmu because you 'like it' doesn't not make any project using it doomed to failure. You simply can't run a server on it.

As I said originally - Lua should not be a requirement. It has been noted that a Lua engine has been implemented pretty well to mangos and trinity now.

I had for about a year a productive ArcEmu server and was quite involved in ArcEmu development team. We provide till today one of the last official ArcEmu DB (LoE DB).

However I only can say: Forget ArcEmu as fast as possible.

- The project development is defintly stopped since 1 year.
- ArcEmu is full of bugs and unfinished stuff. Lua is bad implemented.
- Players will not accept so a lot of bugs.

- Scripting in Trinity in C++ is as easy as scripting in Lua in Arcemu.
- If you still like to script in Lua you can use Eluna, but I don't see any reason for.
- Learning curve to migrate to TC is low, the database is similar.
- TC is programmed quite clean and has much more functionallity than ArcEmu.
- It's years ahead of ArcEmu.
