Using system packages

• Arch Linux

If your server crashes, you might want to compile debug binaries to retain symbols and figure out what happens behind a segmentation fault.

Scripting: The scripting interface in TFS is supported by the Lua language where you can customize the server with scripts.

• actions
• chat channels
• creature scripts
• global events
• monster
• movements
• NPC
• raids
• talk actions
• weapons
  The scripting system is also supercharged with our Revscriptsys system. Which is like a mod file where you can use the above interfaces without registering the files through XML. You can also bundle multiple interfaces together into one file.

Changelogs:
