Best engine for 8.6?

[rafaeru]

I am considering selecting an engine for my custom ots project on protocol 8.6. What would you choose and why? I have one project based on 0.3.6 and it works fine but I had to fix a lot of bugs. I would like to choose an engine that is the fastest and has as few bugs as possible.


At the bottom there is a list that I could find:

r3777 - has been around for a long time and I think many ots on protocol 8.6 have been using it for years.

otxserver2 - I have never used it before, it seems cool, in my opinion it is like 0.3.6 / 0.4.0 with some extra features. I have been using it for a week and it seems to me that it lags slightly when walking / pushing items.

TFS 1.5 nekiro downgrade 8.6 - the biggest advantage is that it is based on TFS 1.X and has all its functionalities. It is no longer being developed. Additionally, data is not compatible between 0.4 / otx2.

Can you somehow relate to this? Maybe you have some other engines worth check out?

I totally recommend 1.5. For what I can say, TFS 1.5 has backward compatibility. I mean, everything is code, and as far I know 1.5 sources handle old functions (a.k.a doSomething, doPlayerSendText, etc.). The thing is that libs and others might need a lot of work, for manual fix just run TFS on cmd and check where the errors start appearing if you wish to migrate. Another thing you need to have present is that mods, among other folders, are no longer supported.

Regards!

You should check with people with 8.6 servers online currently. People without experience with said options tend to be vocal towards downgrades of newer engines.

I have no experience with 8.6, but when people asks about 7.x they also recommend Nekiro downgrade. No one hosting 7.x servers uses Nekiro downgrade. Mindblowing.

Dont waste ur time with 0.x

 

[Tofame]

Pointless hate on older versions.
Yeah, tfs 1.x is a lot easier to write scripts in, create ots etc. But it's not like those downgrades are bug-free, so the choice is not easy.

You'd need to compare those version, what you like more in them and decide. If I were you I'd consider choosing beetween 2nd and 3rd option.

I've been using OTX 2 since 2019 and if I knew what I know today, I wouldn't. Support is harder, coding is older, it has a lot of bugs too. I just don't change it because I've improved a lot, added outfits and addons (protocol 7.72), but even with a VPS with Ryzen 9, with 15 players I have 10% CPU usage, without much customized. Go newer TFS for sure.

It's ridiculous noobs in every thread be like tAkE tHe DoWNgrAdeD TfS and yet noone is actually hosting servers on those

Well guess what I tried these and you basically have a 10.98 ots that you can connect with a 8.6 client with, thats it, you actually have to make it behave correctly, gl hf

ONLY 1.5 NEKERINIO

8.6 use tfs 0.4, but consider that you will have to waste some money to optimize it, then it will definitely work better than downgraded tfs
