Tibia/OpenTibia Multi-Tool Suite
Currently in Development
Closed-Source
Okay, let's get in to what I am working on exactly, and why.
I'm a big fan of the OpenTibia scene. I've hosted and worked with quite a few servers in the past.
Lately, however, I've noticed a slight decline in interest toward the project, and community as a whole.
We have the same problem at TProgramming where most of the good programmers are either gone or have completely lost interest in the community.
They have since been replaced by "leechers". People who don't want to learn to program, but only want everything handed to them.
I feel as though the same process is happening here; the programmers have left or lost interest and the newcomers don't want to learn how to program to help the community, but expect the few programmers that are left to do everything. And are quite rude about it, to be completely honest.
Now, while I wish I could contribute to the OpenTibia project, I unfortunately don't have the time.
This project is only being worked on in my spare time, so don't expect it to be released tomorrow, or next week, or even next month.
Basically, I'm planning on incorporating as many tools as possible, that are needed/used by the community, into a single program.
This includes, but not limited to, Data (.dat), Sprite (.spr), and Picture (.pic) editor, IP changer, MC tool, monster editor, item editor, NPC editor.
As of typing this, I currently have the code for Data, Sprite, and Picture editing completed, an IP changer, and a MC tool.
The Data, Sprite, and Picture editing works with clients 7.00-current, and the MC tool works with clients 7.10-current (7.10 is when they implemented MC-detection).
If I remember correctly, BlackDemon's TibiaEditor worked back to client 7.10, so with this you'll be able to check out the three(?) clients that prelude 7.10.
I was really hoping to have figured out the Data, Sprite, and Picture structures for the clients that prelude 7.00 by now, but unfortunately I haven't. Hopefully, in the future, I'll have them implemented so makers of 6.4 servers will be able to edit those files to their liking.
Also, the IP changer and MC tool include a nice feature that attempts to automatically locate the memory addresses from the client needed to make them operate properly, and from my tests it seems to work quite well.
Furthermore, I'm a stickler for UI and ease-of-use. So, expect this program to look like nothing you've ever seen, and be so easy to use you shouldn't need to ask.
Basically, the purpose of this thread is to ask your opinions on the matter. Do you like the idea behind the project? What features would you like to see? Any other questions? Remember, the purpose of this program is to incorporate as many tools as possible into a single tool for the benefit of OpenTibia.
Thanks For Your Time
