Difference between mangos and arcemu/ascent

[alexluana_]

what is the difference? I mean in performance? in language? can hold more players than mangos to a blizzard level?

what is it?

I tried it out once and just by accepting a quest in the orc starting zone it crashed the SERVER... all I needed to know.

Mangos is the first wow emulator, before antrix based emus now known as ascent.

[VladimirMangos]

In fact mangos base at leaked sources from WOWD project. Ascent based at antrix code that based at WoWD code directly.

But this is not important because both so havy modify original sources that no big remains in its from old days.

You can read history of diffferent old projects in http://www.gotwow.ic.cz/

Aside from using Lua for scripting, it seems Ascent (in all its flavors) is built more for funservers and customizations. There's certainly a lot more custom utilities and code released by the community at ACWeb for Ascent/ArcEmu than MaNGOS-based cores.

I've never tried that core, but I say go for it if you want to check it out. Maybe you'll even find something cool to port over to MaNGOS.

used arcemu core, just difference is easy scripting engine (anyway, some functions can be confused), contents are really less or bad scripted... much hackfixes and this core don't have good organised databases. very much functionallity is missing on spells, ingame mechanics (like weekly, monthly quests...) and in ingame content fixing.

about ascent - it died long time ago...

MaNGOS has alot of hackfixes too. ArcEmu however, doesn't fix the glitches they have. I compiled a 3.3.5 ArcEmu core and was able to case evocation infinitely whilst moving.
