windows server will run any windows executable (might some issue do to different versions or something; but generally this is true). You should have no problem hosting on either. From what I've heard, Windows Server 2008 is the best one yet.

The option will make OTServ unable to serve anyone but YATC users, if they choose to use it. This is bad.

Yep, kilouco fixes the minor issues with the implementations. Khaos and I actually do the implementing. He's like our editor. :P The fixes to names and healthbars are thanks to him. Maybe, maybe not. It's hard to tell with vsync on. :P

I meant "it's already like that in YATC?"; but I found what you were talking about. __INITIALLY__ it wasn't like that

News: We now have lights working with the SDL engine, although not as nice as the GL engine: It can be used in the GL engine too, though I can't imagine why you'd want to use it. News2: Not to blow any whistles or anything, but we might be having a release this week.

It's been suggested, and we've thought about it, but we're not at the point where it's a very good idea for YATC. Maybe later. Anyway, we got the patch for implementing light and I committed it to the repository. It's only for the GL engine atm, though. Anyway, it doesn't take long to...

so you are right. I must've read wrong or forgotten what I read like 6 years ago when 64-bit processors first hit the PC market. apps are not taking 2x more ram on 64-bit, only pointers take twice as much memory.

Tibia client does not receive mana information for anyone but the player himself.

if it is the case that it causes a bug, you can always switch skills to uint64_t. This should make you fine for awhile. Alternatively you can modify the skills formula itself instead of the skill rate in order to allow higher skills to be reached (in fact, I don't see why OTServ doesn't do this...

Or you can just remove it from options yourself.

yep. Although I agree, ambient light is a Tibia Client feature-- we will be implementing it eventually. and, well, here's his most recent sample: 7 FPS is a little scary...

We don't have lighting yet (someone's working on it for us :D). But yeah, we don't have lighting, so I guess technically using our client to play is cheating. Not that it helps any more than using ambient light at 100% on the official client...

Well, over a year ago it was still a project in it's baby stages. It was started in July '07. A large undertaking like this, written in C++ with minimal dependencies, would take quite a long time for a handful of volunteers who also have other jobs or responsibilities. Of course, it started...

@the first one: I'll look into it. @second one: it's like that?

I hope by "TFS" you meant "OTServ"... A completely free 2D mmorpg. :) EDIT: Adelae did a little more work on the light:
