I've always been a fan of the true functions, mechanics, and formulas of the old tibia, for me those were the perfect values, behaviors, etc for a game. I've always been a lurker here in Otland with zero programming knowledge, I went to university to study software engineering, and now that I have a better understanding of how programming works I've decided to start a little project that I will proceed to work on whenever I have time.
The goal is to try and mimic behaviors that I find in the RealOTS server and apply them to my server, the goal is to build an 8.0 server, real tibia with the forgotten mechanics that I will go through while I develop. The idea is to share knowledge, try it and confirm it in the RealOTS server, and then try and apply it, it might take time for me, but along the way, I will gain knowledge and become a better programmer in general, I see this as a hobby project. It might be finished, it might not but I will keep on trying.
So far I've added
The majority of the tasks listed above are likely well-known and implemented in most servers. However, one thing that is not often seen is that creatures in Tibia can increase their skills, fist fighting, and defense, similar to a player. I was able to implement this into my server allowing creatures to increase their skills based same formula that players have, a creature's skill and defense would increase after the amount of hits it has done to the player.
I read through an article found on Reddit about creature skilling and their theory, Here.
In the article, they point to hits until the next skill advancement, starting skill, and the creature constant.
Based on this information I was able to add them to the calculation. Keep in mind that when the creature's skill increases, a new damage calculation has to occur for its damage value to increase.
There is a lot more to be done, I'll keep posting things I work on, how it's going, and my thoughts regarding the different mechanics I find and implement.
This thread is meant to document my work and something I can look back to

So far I've added
- Correct Defense, Armor, and Attack Formulas ( Thank you @kay and @Ezzz )
- Rewritten The Speed Formula For Players And Creatures To Fit RealOTS Formula
- Rewritten The Yell Chance Formula, TFS often spams creature yells, in RealOTS it's less.
- Added Creature Skilling Mechanics (Their Skilling Increases Like Players)
- Rewritten Creature Flags To Fit RealOTS, for example, instead of having summonable"0", and summonable"1", I added a default value and NoSummon flag if they can't be summoned.
- Wrote .mon to xml parser to get the most accurate values, I didn't have time to manually check everything. A sample can be found here
- Added Overspawn System, when a creature walks out of the spawn area (Based on some criteria) a new creature is spawned.
- Creature Gaining Experience When Killing Another Creature
