I mean there is mangos, arcemy, skyfire, trinity, and of course, the hated but easy to use repacks, I got up a good 3.3.5a repack, working and was wondering if this is nay good to use start editing zones using tutorials here? or not?
tx for the help in advance!

2 things.
1) wrong section. Ask in the Miscellaneous section maybe, as this doesn't fit under one specific section.
2) You might want to explain what you want, a little more detailed. But I believe you're asking for the most suitable core for clientside changes. Seeing as that is a question, I suppose you're not experienced with C++, if familiar with it at all, and therefore the serverside wont matter much. Therefore, I suggest using Trinity, because when you've made changes in your DBC files (clientside changes) you can simply copy them into the trinity core folder, and the server will have the changes upon next restart. Therefore, very suitable for clientside experiments :P
Oh yes, and in general, for starting to world build, I'd suggest just experimenting with the different tools that are out there (read a bit about them before using them, and remember to take backups of the files you edit), and just continue like that :P
Thanks

As far as is know, you are not able to add selfmade continents to repacks so you should use a self compilled server.
But you have to know whats the best core for you or the best core for editing zones, models etc.
-
You can add stuff just by changing the DBC files and/pr the MySQL Database. Bur if you do not compile your server self, you cant change the core.
I also think Trinity is better to start because of the direct use of more DBC.
As long you only whant to make some noggit builds your repack is ok.
MOVED.

Does that mean it uses more of the extracted DBC files than other emus, because they do those things hardcoded serverside without reading the actual dbc?
I ask because atm I'm using mangos and didn't run in a situation where the emulator overwrites my changed dbcs.
Just curious. :)

Yes Trinity load more stuff direct from the DBCs.
So its easyer because you dont need to do stuff 2x.
And a server dont write the DBC. It reads them only. And the stuff is soem times hardcoded and some times just in the MySQL DB.

Tx for your helpo! so for example i downloaded Jeuties, repack for 3.35a, Can i use the tutorials i see around here to try and do some edits, or you recomend compliling my own core?
