Since you are familiar with xml, I wouldn't just go jumping into the latest distros.. because of the complexity of the scripts, unless you have some background in oop.

Use the server @LordVissie suggested, believe it or not some of us still do write scripts for the older distros and it will help you get familar with the structure of the server, plus the tools to compile are not as complicated to get working or heavy on system resources as the latest version of tfs.

Even the websites, tools, map editors etc will work with previous versions of tfs.

Check the tools section and download,
StiansRepackDev-Cpp_v2.zip
You can compile the above distro which @LordVissie linked to.

There are also many other resources you can download as well.

There is also an online repository if the links no longer work, I use it for quick searching of code.

If you want to edit the Tibia-client it will take a lot more work than you think, but you can do a ton of changes without editing the client/server itself.

I'd also recommend TFS 0.3.6, as its not needed to compile it and basically 100% good to go for simple testing. Just change database to Sqlite instead of Mysql in the the config.lua(if its not already sqlite to start with). Then you won't even need a database/uniserver/xamp to login and check your map.. good if you want to get started fast but not the end-solution!

sqlite is a database...

And you can edit it with this.

Well ofcourse it's a database(did I even come close to imply it wasn't?? No.), but you don't have to set anything up - 0.0, which was my point :)

I got that impression, you also didn't provide any useful information regarding the switch from sql to sqlite aside from not having to setup a local server... like you didn't provide information on how to edit the file..

Lets not contribute to the confusion people already experience when trying to get started accomplishing even the basics of launching a server.

Edit:
If this person chose to upgrade to the latest tfs at some point they would need to know how to setup a local server / database...

I recommend them setting up a local server, xampp is much less confusing then uniserver I even use it myself for work purposes to test code etc.

I said "Config.lua" and there's only 1 line with Sqlite/Mysql in the config to 0.3.6, if he can't find that 1 himself or the config.lua, he should stop everything ;)

And yeah, thats my intention: To create less confusion. As said, 036 and Sqlite = fastest way to start, but not the end-solution.

Step 2 is changing to Mysql and use Xamp/Uniserver and Step 3...? not sure :) My step 3 was updating to latest 8.6 compatible TFS(ninjas 1.2, still having problems compiling it).

Isn't this "useful information"/enough information?? :p What else could there possibly be? The exact location of the config file and exact line where the Mysql/Sqlite line is? :p

Didn't even say Uniserver is the best nor only solution, so why are you stating I did? :p

Alright to make this easy:

Download this server
https://otland.net/threads/8-60-the-forgotten-server-0-3-6-crying-damson-v8.147913/

To compile any source changes you do use this
https://mega.nz/#!GNZVgLDK!Y9MMZGCJk3N8HBFN6DOZUHaQcxBfkJYtRCXBRdZk8F4

You should set up a database with xampp
https://www.apachefriends.org/index.html

For help installing the database follow this

If you want a client you can modify use this
https://otland.net/threads/7-4-10-9-otclient-0-6-3-2474.238797/

NOTE: To compile this client you will need to download these things:

How does this request:

I'd rather do without setting up any websites etc. and use Hamachi(most preferably) ...OR, if possible, no additional programs whatsoever, as it'd be a private server.
I'd also be thankful for providing me with knowledge regarding what programs I should use having taken into account what's been aforementioned.
I have planned to create a map, edit the Tibia client and test the map on the server - that's all.

Aswell as the ending:

yet no tutorials were suitable to what I'm aiming for and I'm not experienced enough to manage on my own just on their basis.

Why would you want to suggest something which is completly outdated and well known for enough errors which will never be fixed.
It's like telling someone to learn python in order to get to know c++, it just doesn't make sense at all.
You should by all times stick to the newest software and get familiar with it since it's the one which you'll mostly work in the future with, as it's the only one still under development.

Thank you! I have downloaded the server @LordVissie suggested as well as RME and 8.60 Tibia Client.

When I tried to download the tool you have suggested from the OTcloud, the file had no extension and could not be downloaded... is there any other way of obtaining it?
Also, do I need any other programs besides the ones I've listed above?
I'd also like to point out that I'm only familiar with setting up an xml, hamachi server and I am not too sure how to manage with a sql one... is it possible to do without setting up any database websites and work with hamachi + a local mysql program? So that I could also work offline...

Thanks in advance!

As far as I know you need to setup a website to use TFS 1.X. And there aren't much errors in the server. It's also much easier version.

Because when you start school when you are little you aren't just handed a book on quantum physics and told "take the playdoh out of your mouth, for your 1st assignment you have to build a time machine, you have 5 minutes... ready begin"
