@jimmyb how was your experience getting it running? Also which WoW version are you using? Using TrinityCore myself for 3.3.5a, also happen to be the person founding MaNGOS in 2005 😅
@danielsreichenbach So my journey must have started in 2005 then! I'm using WoTLK. I definitely owe A LOT of my knowledge and experience with Linux to MaNGOS. I'm pretty sure I was a moderator on the original MaNGOS forums 😂
@jimmyb funny coincidence, thanks for helping! Forums were quite full of rather unfriendly folks back then. 😓 must have been summer 2005 then. Glad to hear it did something for you
@danielsreichenbach Yeah, very funny coincidence! There were some unfriendly people but also good people. I just enjoyed helped folks get up and running.
It likely was the summer, I remember staying up all night chatting with people on the forums and playing on my own private server haha
Do you do much with development anymore on any of the cores or just playing?
@jimmyb same here, helping people have fun was the best. These days I mostly work on TrinityCore for fun. Mainly private for wife and kids, some friends. Modified the core to support phasing through expansions
@danielsreichenbach I wish I had the smarts to do some of the development myself. I just run my server for myself, girlfriend and a few friends too. ⚔️
@jimmyb I might have something for you soon then. Kinda working on an integrated solution for building and playing your own custom content supporting client changes and many other things. Just started taking my changes and preparing to publish on GitHub. Will take some time since I am mostly a weekend warrior but it’s coming. Will be on https://github.com/wowemulation-dev
@jimmyb code and docs will pour in over the next days, next weekend first batch incoming. Feedback much appreciated. Going for mom and dad at home friendly for setting up and using everything.
@jimmyb it is TrinityCore with some modifications to allow multiple expansions. I would like to use the Cataclysm game client with support for phasing maps but it would mean porting maps from WotLK to Cataclysm among other issues. So going beyond WotLK is kinda in the backlog if I ever figure out how to solve it.
@danielsreichenbach Gotcha! It would be cool if one day we got to the point where there was a release that matched where retail is at. Maybe I should keep dreaming haha
