Newbie questions of sorts (multiple clients)

[CodeSculptor]

Basically, how do I keep two clients on the same machine?

I have the original game, which I play on the commercial server (and I really enjoy that too).

But I want to do custom devs of the emu too, so how do I keep the "real" WoW client isolated from my lesser-patched client?

I am sure that's covered somewhere, but cannot seem to find it any more.

Thanks all.

I've been trying bunches of permutations.. I have the client I bought from 7-11 (American convenience store) for $6.99, the one I'd gotten from a computer store back in 2005, and two versions downloaded from Blizzard over the years.

Normally, I'd keep it all updated (of course).

I've erased / uninstalled the fully patched and updated one (I can always re-install it, no problem) and want to just install a "from scratch" version.

I have a DVD with a very cool Lich King illustration at version 3.0.1.8874

I have another with an installer with a version of 3.2.0.10192 (not sure what version the game is, probably the same).

I have a cataclysm disc of about 7.70 gig. That would be GREAT if it would run, but ...

But the one I'd like to run is 3.3.5.12340

Which GIT HUB do I work with for that 3.3.5...

I wanna start mucking with C/C++ code and watching game changes, and play with the scripting.

I hate asking the newbie questions, but I can't see any tables of mangos-zero = this version (like TBC 3.0.1.8823, mangos-one = this version..) and I can't see any info on manually patching versions. I don't think I'll need the later.

http://github.com/mangos/mangos/ and the master branch is what you want

1. Create a copy of the client on the lower version/patch.

2. Use patcher for official servers version.

3. ???

4. Profit!

As said, just copy folder.

Don't use launcher.exe on the client for wich you want to connect to mangos.

Patch manually: 'installpath' can be changed in windows registry and most likely that's were it will update with patches you apply.
