Hello everyone,

I'm very excited on starting my own otserv for android. I'm a droped out lawyer who is folown his dream by making his own game.
It has been very difficult to travel around this new science to me, but very satisfying.
When I was 15 I had my own otserv 7.2. Then 10 years later I'm coming back to this world with a new chalange: Make an open source MMORPG for android.
I started learning from unity3d engine but I hit the wall when I tried to create a MMO network system. Then when I was looking for alternatives the Old Tibia Otserv came back to me, but as far as I knew the Otserv didn't conquered the Android World.
Suddenly, what I thought was impossible was trully happening, I found this guide:
edubart/otclient

However I couldn't go further with my actual knowledge, can anyone point a 0-build&run tutorial for a absolute beginner(with images, videos, reaaaaly stepbystep)? My first objective is too set up a server in my own laptop where my friends could download the client at their mobiles and play 2gether.

Thanks very much for some help.

I really don't know if those are all the posts about the same unsolved or even unreplied doubt. But I can certanly tell that for more than 6 years noobs are strugling to compile OTC for android.

Please don't bump more often than every 24 hours. It's against the rules for a good reason.

If you haven't already I recommend starting out by compiling otclient for your own OS, probably Windows, and to compile, run and modify otserv.
Then either learn C++ and some lua or hire someone who can. If you can hire people to code, then you should be able to hire someone to figure out how to compile this for Android.
If your dream is to fly, don't start out by jumping off a cliff, start on the ground :)
Just some friendly advice.

Good luck.

E.e,

Thanks, I didn't know this rule, I was going to bump again when I saw your reply. Anyway, thanks for the advice, I certanly can hire someone, I already did, but 1 year later I tired of waiting and losing money and decided to do by my self. I thought that starting with Otclient for android was not a big step since so many people here in the comunity had already done sucessfuly the gift hub tutorial.

Besides that, can I change the otclient for windows then later compile it to android?

Thanks again!

No problem.

It might be a big step, I don't really know since it's not common to try to compile it for Android, people usually just compile it for Linux and Windows afaik, and I don't really have much experience with otclient in general.

And yes, you should be able to compile it for a different OS later on in almost all cases unless you've done some big platform-dependent changes to the code afaik.

Anyway, your account is really new, so you should probably get a bit better acquainted with the forum before making kinda complicated/unusual requests in support, or requests in support in general.
Try to just hang around a little, there's plenty of threads to make casual posts in and learn more about the state of the community (not all necessarily good, but there's still some left).

But back on the topic you've also neglected to say which of these steps in the otclient wiki tutorial that you linked to that you've actually followed and when you got an error and what the error was.

There are unfortunately no baby step tutorials generally for much of anything on this forum beyond the wikis.
Wikis are usually enough, and when there's a specific problem you can usually search for it and find the solution yourself, that's how it goes for the most part.
