[OTHire 7.72] Using 7.4 graphics

Hello,

I've decided to switch up from the old Avesta 7.4 to OTHire 7.72.
But I want to use OTHire (7.72) with the 7.4 graphics.
I've seen numerous posts regarding that but everyone says different things.

I now wonder if anyone has an exact guide on how to do that?
I tried to use the "items.otb" and "items.xml" from the Avesta 7.4 distro and placed them in the "data/items" folder of my 7.72 OTHire, but that did not work at all.

Do I need to use some item editor? Which one? (link it?) And what exactly do I need to change in that?

I'd really appreciate it if someone could upload their "items.otb" and "items.xml" in 7.4 format for 7.72 OTHire distro.

After changing it in the server, I then also just use 7.4 dat and spr in my 7.72 client folder? Or how exactly does it work?

Thanks in advance! :)
 
I think you are trying to do what I did (with OTHire); eventually end up with a client that runs 7.1 (or in your case 7.4) graphics.
Here is the location of the information to change items/editor and such:

TwistedScorpio/OTHire (https://github.com/TwistedScorpio/OTHire/wiki/Adding-new-items)

This is the starting point I worked from; in the end I also (to create the 7.1 package) had to extract a spr file,then replace most of it with different sprites, then compile it, then follow the steps above. I don't think you will have to do all that, because there is likely floating around on forums/downloads all the spr/dat/otb you need.

I am terrible at this type of works, and it took a long time to get it working right, so probably best just have the link above and hopefully someone better with graphics can help in this thread. Good luck!

Yea I'm doing that right now, replacing the sprites. Just wondered if there's anyone with one finished.
If not; I will upload it once I am done. Seems like people on this forum just hate sharing stuff in general.
 
Well I hope the link does help when it comes time to put it all together; also, I remember very much that first, I wanted just the sprites from 7.1 & 7.6, but after a few months I realized, I would need more for some custom items, and also just better options for mapping and such. So, I really wish I had thought very carefully about the long term use of the graphic package; because since I didn't I had to update it a few times, and as you can see from the link it is a time consuming and difficult process. So I advise to add in as much as you can after you have the first part of the package completed with 7.4, just in case in the future you need things. Good luck!

Check at otserv lista and use Someone else sprites everyot that claims ti he 7.4 SRE un fact 7.72
 
if you don't want to start completely from scratch you can take over my old conversion project 7.72 > 7.4. i'd say its atleast 70% completed from what i remember

MEGA (https://mega.nz/#!GhQETYSI!v7PQ-GTG0qpjKuLtfWX54dQ7Fzayz0csw4XeiaBAByk)
Im also interested in this, maybe anyone has the files?

Or if TibiCAM has finished working on this sprites and could share, Id be thankful.

Does that mean that if I download any client from existing OTS that has this data I could get most of these files from the client itself? (maybe with a few changes if they have edited items)
