Question About TFS

[cocoroto]

As you all know, there are 2 types of all the versions of TFS, here is the last version:

1. 0.3a3pl1-console.7z
2. 0.3a3pl1-gui.7z

The question is:

What is the difference between the first type (console) and the second type (gui)?

Hope you can answer this question as fast as posible so I can pick the best type.

The console version does what is needed, it runs the server, and keeps a black console window open with white text in it that tells you what happens on the server. Nothing more, nothing less.

The GUI version is like a pimped version of that, its all windows-ish and pretty, it has timestamps, better-looking text, and context menus where you can do various stuff like broadcast stuff or reload files.


The main difference?

Eye candy and simplicity.


Stability?

Personally ive found that the console version is more stable, GUI version crashes when you do certain stuff and can fuck up randomly.


Any tip about what to choose?

If you are a noobcake and want it simple and easy, go with GUI.
If you actually know what you're doing, and care more about stability than eyecandy, then go with the console version.

Yes, It's better the console, but with GUI version you can reload actions, spells, movements, npcs, ... (ingame too); you can kick/bann somebody(ingame too); save players(ingame too); reject/accept connections(ingame too); etc.
If you close the Server when you have GUI version the players will be saved, else, with the console version no.
