Question for P99 Devs, regarding Titanium Client

[Haynar]

Never seen anything like that. EQEmu has changed a lot though. You don’t set it up the same way anymore. Config is now in json I think. Nothing like what we use here.

Its probably been several years since I tried to set up an eqemu server. Because I keep multiple versions of perl installed to support diff servers, it would not install easily.

If you have a clean pc to run on, it should be super easy to set up. Just point and click.

Even one version of Perl is one too many [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Seriously though, what do you need multiple versions for? Do different EQ Emu versions depend on them? I didn't even know EQ Emu needed Perl.

As Haynar said, a lot has changed for eqemu. Unfortunately, I'm not sure any of us could help you better than the folks maintaining the current version.

P99 uses perl 10. When i started on takp, we used perl 12, which has since been removed. Lua is now scripting choice. Takp i build on VS 2017. But p99 never moved past 2010, so I need set up to build both. Its a fun combo.

My dev laptop is set up to code on either project. Keeping it working for all has been a challenge.

Ugh. Hopefully Perl has a decent version/environment manager like pyenv.

And yeah Lua seems to be the new "hot" choice for adding scripting to apps; I'm more partial to JS or Python for scripting, but to each their own.

Heh, I'm not one to start holy wars over languages, and Perl was like the second real programming language I learned (after Visual Basic), so I'll always appreciate it for what it is.

But ... c'mon: would you really rather maintain a mess of Perl scripts, or scripts written in a more ... sophisticated language (Python, JS, or heck even Ruby, which actually stole a lot from Perl)?

I mean, if so, great. It's just that Perl isn't exactly known for being maintainable, so most coders I know would pick a different language if they had a choice.
