What source should I use as a base?

[HerpDerpNigga]

As the title says, is this a good base to start with?



I mean, It can handle players, don't have lag, don't crashes, so is a good base to start working on it?
if its not good then recommend me one...is Hellmouth good?

I don't know if the packets etc. are updated it's a good source, but I have got some few problems with it, which took me literally some few days to fix, but it's a really good source. (Hybrids one), but it was the not upgraded one. Anyways I'm sure you can learn something from it, even it's not updated etc. because you have to do it yourself and about Hellmouth it's a good source as well, only the way it's structured is what I don't like. The way things are coded etc. are pretty good and if something is not that good then it can be edited, but the way the attacking/targetting system is working, it's pretty hard to edit etc. Well not hard, but takes long time as you have to edit some things more than one place, but other than that it can be rewritten. If such things, which is mainly due to lazyness of coding would be fixed and the structure changed to some more 'noob friendly', then it would be much better than it is, don't get me wrong, because it's an awesome source and it's the only problems I have seen. Missing things are not problems. I have been using Hellmouth some time ago and I had a fine time working with it, but I changed the structure completely, but it could be a personal opinion as it was not intended to be a public source, but a private one for the server, thus meaning as long the developer can find his way around in it, then it's fine, but as it got public, then a better structure would have been better and help peoples coding in it, because it takes a while to get used to it. If you need any help regarding both sources, then let me know.

Thank you, I'll try both of them.

Sad thing is even I can't find my way around that source anymore :P


It is/was a mess. Main reason we started the new one.


@ op: hybrid's source is simply fantastic (the original one). I've not looked much at the upgraded patch version of it but I'd personally suggest starting with his original release and work on upgrading its patch yourself. That way you can start slow and learn to code as you go. If you just use the pre-updated version you'll have two conflicting code styles before you even START adding in your own features and additions.

Best of luck!
