Hello,

Back again with more issues (i must be really stupid).

I am using TFS 1.7, server and custom client all working fine no errors there. However, I am trying to open my map but RME 3.2, 3.6.1 and Canary Map Editor v4.0 are all not working. RME 3.2 & 3.6.1 both bring up the same error (see Capture 6). And when i try the Canary Map Editor v4.0 it brings up this prompt (Capture7). If i click Yes and Ok through the pop ups something actually does come up in the end (Capture8), but it bares no relevance to the actual map. I've honestly never known such difficulty loading a map up! Can someone kindly point me in the right direction to the correct software to use (or how to make it so the software i have works!)

Thanks.

Use this to convert your map! Works both ways.

Thread '[TOOL] Convert any map between ServerID and ClientID'

Hi. With this tool OpenTibia - Convert any map to 7.6 (https://otland.net/threads/convert-any-map-to-7-6.259410/) (thanks to @Peonso ),
and this tool GitHub - Inconcessus/OTBM2JSON: OTBM2JSON - A generic framework for programmatic modification of OTBM files. (https://github.com/Inconcessus/OTBM2JSON) @Forby

I was able to modify the ID values to convert maps between ClientID <->ServerID. It should work for all maps below protocol 13.16 inclusive. In addition, the script works for multiple maps, not just 1.

So shoutout to those guys. I just made it to work in a...

Also instead of opening maps, try Importing Map, often works better.

You are using official TFS 1.7, which uses ServerID, not ClientID.

Because of that, I recommend using OTAcademy RME together with this SPR/DAT:

GitHub - Nottinghster/1098extended (https://github.com/Nottinghster/1098extended)

Open RME, enable the checkbox for version 13.10 or 13.30, select the 1098extended SPR/DAT files, click Apply/OK, and then try opening your TFS 1.7 map again. After that, you should be able to edit the map and save it normally.

Do not use Canary RME for this case, because Canary uses ClientID, and your TFS 1.7 map uses ServerID. That is probably why the map is not loading correctly there.

You can use:

GitHub - OTAcademy/RME: OTAcademy fork of Remere's Map Editor repository. (https://github.com/OTAcademy/RME)

Thread '[Remere's Map Editor: Redux] - Introducing RME overhaul project, because someone had to do it.'

This is WIP. No stable release yet.

Introducing Remere's Map Editor: Redux!​

Hi everyone,

Building a Tibia map editor from scratch gave me a massive boost in knowledge regarding tile-based system optimization and using agentic workflows to upgrade legacy code in a slow, precise, and verifiable manner.

I decided to apply this knowledge to the "gold standard" of the OT community - Remere's Map Editor (RME) - using a modern approach. I am proud to announce RME: Redux, a project aimed at rewriting the RME backend with modern technologies.

For official TFS 1.7, OTAcademy RME should be the safer option because it is compatible with ServerID maps.

If you want to use a full global map that someone already converted from ClientID to ServerID, you can check this one:

[14.12] Canary Map - Converted to TFS (https://otland.net/threads/14-12-canary-map-converted-to-tfs.290897/)

This map was already converted to work with TFS using ServerID, so it can be an easier option for anyone using official TFS 1.7.

Hey!

Thanks for this, i followed your advice. I compiled the GitHub - OTAcademy/RME: OTAcademy fork of Remere's Map Editor repository. (https://github.com/OTAcademy/RME) as you recommended but got a load of errors in the compile. Take a look.

If you use OTAcademy RME, you do not need to compile it yourself. They already provide ready-to-use releases.

You can get the executable and the required DLLs from the releases page. Just download it, extract the files, and use them with RME:

Release Release 4.2.0 · OTAcademy/RME (https://github.com/OTAcademy/RME/releases/tag/4.2.0)

If you want to compile it yourself, then you need to have the required dependencies, such as vcpkg and Boost libraries.

The good thing is that OTAcademy RME already has a vcpkg.json file. So you only need to install Git and vcpkg on your PC, then compile the project. vcpkg should automatically download Boost and the other required dependencies during the build process.

I’m having a lot of trouble getting my map to load in any editor. I am running an 8.60 server (Real Map)

OTAcademy Map Editor: The map technically "loads" (I can see floating textboxes for signs/NPCs and the coordinates are correct), but the entire screen is black. The Minimap is also completely black/empty even though the file is clearly not empty. I have tried toggling everything in the "View" menu, but no terrain or graphics appear.

Remere's Map Editor (3.7.0): In this editor, everything shows up as red tiles. If I try to replace the editor's items.otb with my server's own items.otb to fix the IDs, I get an "Unhandled exception" and the program crashes immediately on startup.
Both version 8.40 and 8.60 are pointed to a clean Tibia 8.60 client.
"Check file signatures" is unchecked.
My global.otbm file size is 93,538 KB.
please need help <3
