MaNGOS/ScriptDev2/ACID - Why So Separate

   MaNGOS is rather fragmented, with several different communities all working independently on separate projects. From what I understand:

   MaNGOS is the core server.
   ScriptDev2 is a separate project which significantly enhances MaNGOS' AI.
   ACID is... something which augments ScriptDev2, but I can't find any information on what it does or how it does it.

   Of course, the databases are also separate projects seemingly not associated with the above.

   Is there really as much separation between these communities as they appear to be, or am I simply not understanding this?

   They are definitely different teams per say. Well from what I know Acid and ScriptDev joined up on Scripdev's forums.

   But when I SVN update my files Acid has its own folder and SVN source, as does ScriptDev and Mangos. All seperate. When I compile though atm I do Mangos first, then ScriptDev. Acid seems to be just sql updates to mangos and scripdev databases whereas Mangos only updates their core sql files.

   Oh and Scriptdevs sql are mostly scriptdev database structure and some other code which is imported on Mangos and Scriptdev database.

   At first this was most confusing, I couldn't understand why it was done like this. But different teams doing multiple tasks seems to work great. Hope this helps a bit

   Lastly YTDB is the database we're workn with here

   Well, you're wrong. Mangos is completely independent project which purpose is to make people better understand managing big projects such as game server development. Remember, mangos is developed with no specific game in mind, people just decided using wow for real life testing.
   Next, mangos only provides database structure and not the content. So, there are others to provide that.
   Other projects you mentioned are completely separated from mangos, but completely dependant on it, 'cause they provide additional content for mangos, but mangos has nothing to do with them and doesn't support them. All the others are just trying to make mangos works better and support it.

   That's my 2 cents on this. I don't claim I'm right, you should visit mangos forums and check yourself.

   Best regards...

   good information -
   with all this in mind what is the difference between YTDB and UDB (and if they are related, why would you choose one over the other)? I understand ACID is for the scripts
