Compiling What engine to use for 8.6?

[Moriarty]

Hello Otlanders!
I won’t pretend to be an expert at creating a Tibia OT server, but I genuinely enjoy giving it a try. Over time, I’ve experimented with different engines, such as Nekiro 1.5 and 0.4.

My main question is: Are there any reliable engines for running an 8.6 server that also support modern features like mounts, newer outfits, updated sprites, and items from versions like 13.x (e.g., falcons and sanguine items)?

I’ve managed to add many of these features individually, but I haven’t found a truly stable engine. Implementing a Cast System and War System with embeds into any source code has been especially challenging for me.

Thanks for any and all advice.

I would suggest to go with TFS 1.5 from Nekiro edited by other people

This one contains mounts and modal window support and few fixes from main forgotten server repo if im not wrong

I have stopped editing this project and decided to share it, so I have released some datapacks for all of you! This is a Baiak map in version 8.6, featuring several interesting systems. I have downloaded TFS 1.3 and upgraded it to TFS 1.5 Nekiro. It comes with mounts and modal windows. The images are attached. If you would like to download and try it out, there are several systems, events, and mini-games included. Alternatively, you can use it as a base for your future maps. Enjoy these datapacks!

This one contains mounts, modal window, offline training and changes from int32 to int64 for player health/monster health and few fixes from main forgotten server repo ( Good base for HIGHEXP ots )

Hi,
Last year I have been working on a copy of the server highexp.eu from 8.60 which was a known highexp ots from old days but after a time I got bored of it and lost all the motivation to work on it + I didn't like the fact I was/had a copy of a other server
Maybe theres a old highexp fan and would like to work and improve the server and make something great out of it
Currently the server is kinda a mix of 8.60/9.83 ERA of highexp.eu

Note 1: Its not a ready to run server.. Theres still alot to add like many quests, pet rooms and what ever else exists, cant remmember
Server has been...

I shared a really good one here, it is nekiro downgrade with a few modifications

GitHub - ralke23/Greed-TFS-1.5-Downgrades at 8.60

Alternative forgottenserver versions for older protocols support - GitHub - ralke23/Greed-TFS-1.5-Downgrades at 8.60

github.com

Doesn't support modern stuff. It is raw 8.6. Altought, it is 100% stable.

There is also another person, Sarah, who is working on this TFS 1.5 8.6 base like NeKiRo, but she made structural changes, including Lua 5.4 and other features, like OTC support via the server's config.lua. Mounts are already included, along with other cool features. This base needs to be compiled on Linux 22.04+

GitHub - MillhioreBT/forgottenserver-downgrade: TFS Downgrade 1.5+ is an engine based on nekiro downgrade but highly updated with current tfs code, it also has the lua modules divided and uses lua5.4

And there is also another person working with OTC, Mehah, and Client Cip features compatible with this base. It has everything complete, including shaders, auras, and much more. Just take a look at their wiki.

Appreciate that, any way i can om you on discord or something? I just need to be pointed to the right direction brother! If you have time just send me ur discord and let me ask 1-2 questions, thanks

If im not wrong there's currently not any free cast system for tfs 1.x at all.

cast system is possible on this?

It was either this commit or another, I don't remember exactly, but I did this last year for my TFS 1.3 8.6, and also for Nekiro 1.5 8.6 and TFS 1.4.2 1098. I implemented these changes based on those versions, and they worked well. However, if you have good knowledge and can work with the source, applying changes, removing, or adding features, there’s a lot of work involved to make it all function properly. But yes, it's quite simple in concept.
