I spent May building on OTHire 7.72 - What distro to use next?

[swashed]

I've learned what I needed to know about starting an OT, now it's time to move on to bigger things. Help me pick my next distro so that I can make a simple old school server.

Requirements:
-Old school 7.4 (or emulating 7.4)
-Old school Tibia client UI (Otclient can do this?)

I think sabrehaven looks like it would be good, as this is based on Nostalrius, which was OTHire's successor. It has a 7.4 version.

[7.4, 7.8, 7.92, 8.0] Sabrehaven.com based on Nostalrius 7.7 fork

What is Sabrehaven Link to repo: GitHub - ErikasKontenis/SabrehavenServer (https://github.com/ErikasKontenis/SabrehavenServer) Overall I feel like I have contributed to open tibia too little and worked too much in private as compared with other developers I see and respect so in return I wish...

I heard Avesta is too buggy.

TibiaCore looks really promising, but looks like it might be buggy.

TibiaCore 7.4 TFS 1.2 same Nostalrius project.

Hello. I'm closing my server and my project for a few years of improvement, this is a copy of the Ezzz Nostalrius project. Some improvements and bug removals were made. Added: Cast System. Save players logs. Config.lua spear/small stone drop free/premium. Config.lua make rune in backpack...

Avesta is a downgrade, it's older and worse than OTHire. For true 7.4-7.72 it's either Nostarius or some fork of it, or OTHire.

you can downgrade sabreheaven, needs a lot work, but it is stable.

I really like OTHire but the source for it doesn't have working auto-stacking but the release has it

 

[johnsamir]

simply use nekiro 7,72 and add the function from othire or nostalrius

Weird, u sure didn't fucked up config.lua? Autostacking was working.

Yeah 100%. The source doesn’t have working auto stacking.

OTHire is an engine I made long time ago, in 2014, I dropped support due to it being based on OTServ SVN and let Peonso work on it.
Nostalrius was released later in 2017 due to it being leaked in the first place.

Nostalrius is not compatible with TFS, with items and maps (unless you convert them), and it also is harder to work with if you're all into using TFS stuff, you'd have to work yourself a bit in order for some stuff to work, e.g: custom weapons.

You want something closer to 7.4 open source? Nostalrius.
You want something that resembles 7.4 but customized? Othire.

Othire is VERY OFF of the real thing, items, mechanics, monster AI, formulas, everything is off. Nostalrius in the other hand as Ezz told above, was made doing RE to the leaked files of the real thing of 7.72, so it is much more closer to the real thing than Othire, however it's harder to customize.

It's hard to estimate how long it would take you to build up othire the closest to 7.4, considering your skill level, 7.4 knowledge, time into it and your RE skills (or having the RE sources of the binary).
I've been working on it for 4 years (almost finished tho) and thought it would take me roughly 2 years as most.

I'm honestly leaning towards picking up this OTHire server I worked on because I got a lot of stuff working the way I like. There were some key features I wanted to add that required changing some of the source, but I got a lot of pushback from the players about wanting that auto-stacking working above any new features.

I spent this week trying to get TibiaCore working with retro ui otclient and am facing a really annoying disconnect problem that kicks every 30 seconds.

I am going to have to figure out how to get a client working that has retro UI + auto updating working before I do any real work on the server. I plan to add custom items and stuff and I'll need an updating client to make this dream come true.

What Linux distribution u using? I had an issue (traps were healing instead of doing damage) while running on new Ubuntu and end up using old Debian and my issue was solved. It's ancient C++ and not using compatible stuff might break something. I had it working with autostack.

I hadn't even considered that it could be compiling incorrectly... When I was doing this, I compiled it two times and the auto stack wasn't working. I just recompiled it again and now it seems to be working... Is this normal?! That the compiler just wont compile it right sometimes?!

 

[swashed]

Here you can see it's not working when conjuring. I remember going super deep into the playerAddItem functions through and through and couldn't how to get it register the auto stacking code

The closest I got to finding a solution was to maybe change something in this game.cpp function:

Something about this isn’t registering stackable items (gold, arrows, etc) when additem is used to put an item in player’s inventory.

 

[Peonso]

Not sure what may cause that issue. You again reporting something that was supposed to work Conjure Spells and Auto-stack · Issue #19 · Ezzz-dev/OTHire (https://github.com/Ezzz-dev/OTHire/issues/19)

You actually using MSVC 2010? I gave up on compiling that in Windows ages ago.

 

[swashed]

It’s not just with conjure but anything that uses the additem function (convert gold to plat doesn’t stack the plat, autoloot gold doesn’t stack the gold).

I’ve even tried a workaround to additemx that had the same result.

I compiled it under the exact instructions given since these environments can be so particular.

I had someone chime in on this to give their opinions in a different post a few months ago

C++ Thread 'OTHire Auto-looting function gone after compiling from source, but code is there'

May 13, 2024

I have a pre-compiled server that has an "auto-stacking" function that works flawlessly. When I compile the sources, this feature is no longer working. I think the author made some last minute changes before compiling the release, and now I need it back in and working. Can somebody take a look at this code and tell me if they see anything that may be causing it to not work?

bool autoStack = g_config.getBoolean(ConfigManager::CONTAINER_ITEMS_AUTO_STACK);

C++ Thread 'Compiling OTHire issue'

Jun 10, 2019

I have a project based on OThire and I have an old distro that I have compiled some times ago.

We have implemented auto loot system, when you click on a monster corpse, it removes the items from the corpse and add to the player. with my old distro, it works fine, the items come to my backpack and STACK AUTOMATIC. but, I tried to compile the latest sources and the auto stack dont works on properly.

something has changed?
Btw, Im using the function doPlayerAddItem to add items to the player.

@Peonso maybe?

I was checking your thread and got confused, you have auto stacking working and you added some custom auto loot where auto stack doesn't work and the fault is in the auto stack? That doesn't make sense in my head, I would say you should check that auto loot implementation. I asked how you compiled because I did not even know MSVC 2010 would run on current Windows.

 

[swashed]

It doesn’t have anything to do with the autoloot script. That script just uses playerAddItem, which is bypassing the auto stack. Conjuring ammo also uses playerAddItem. So the issue seems to lie in that function.
