I have set aside my work on the MangAdmin team in order to fulfill some promises I made to some folks on here last year (and because I switched from Mangos to Arc):
I have forked the MangAdmin code and am now actively developing ArcAdmin, based on the MangAdmin code.
Currently in Alpha, I expect a BETA version by June 1 or so.
Here's a taste of things to come:
If you have any question sor comments, you can ask here... but you'll get attention faster if you post at the new ArcAdmin Forums at [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
Lastly, this is being announced first here on MMOWNED! You guys are what makes it fun to keep doing this!

Umm, well, a significant portion of the code I am altering was originally written by... me. As I noted, I am one of the Devs on the MangAdmin project, in fact the only active developer for the last two years.
Some of the work will be altering commands in the cases where the Arc command is similar to the Mangos command. Some of it is ripping out code that does not pertain to Arc and replacing it with code that does.
MangAdmin was and is not feature complete. It currently covers about 50% of Mangos' commands. With ArcAdmin, obviously I am going to start with making what is already there compatible with Arc before I continue development of new features.
Complicated? No, not really. But... I started here a couple of years ago when I joined MangAdmin. People have asked me since thin to release a version of it for Arc. No, it isnt complicated, but apparently nobody else (including you) is willing to do it.
Your comments are irritating, as if my contribution is not worthy because, in your perception, all I am doing is changing strings. You are misinformed.
You are correct, however, in that this forum is for releases and not discussion.
were do i get this since you have a picture and i think its you then were did you get it btw i love mang admin but now i want arcadmin i bet i could do it with mangadmin quickly
its only command changes people
im really good with this kind of development stuff...!
Sure, it's only changing the commands in MangAdmin over to Arc commands... but if it so simple, why havent you done it already? Anyone? Bueller? Thats what I thought.
MangAdmin is open source, GPLv3. You're welcome to download it and have a go at it. In fact, I think you should take a look at the sources, it may alter your perception. Or not.
In reality, I am not only changing the syntax of the commands, but trying to re-arrange the sources for Mang/ArcAdmin to make it easier to extend in the future, adding comments, and applying some n-tier type logic to the file layouts. Am also making all visual elements referenced off of TOPLEFT rather than the more random current arrangement. This is taking some time. I have also been sick for the last 8 days, and not been able to do any coding (not even the kind I get paid for).
That said, I will release a version when it is complete enough to be useful. I have the Main and Char tabs done, Items lookups and spawning done, spells/skills lookup/learn nearly done. All I can say is.. soon.
The forum is empty because there is nothing to talk about yet.
As Vindicated pointed out above, it was a mistake to announce this project here before I have a beta ready.
Please let this thread die! I will post a new one when I have something for you to download. In the meantime, any news will be posted to the ArcAdmin forums (thanks for registering there!!!!)

I hope you dont think I am being demanding - just wondering if there was anything on i could help with - im just now starting to get into lua scripting, which may or may not be helpful.
