Convert a 7.4 map to be compatible with 7.6/7.72

[fschuindt]

Hi there,

I own a 7.4 map, but this is really a 7.4, not a 7.6/7.72 with sprites changed to look like 7.4. It's really a 7.4 map.
My goal is to run this map with the Nekiro's TFS 1.5 downagrades to 7.72, but this downgrade will only support 7.6/7.72 maps. My 7.4 map isn't supported.

I'm looking for someone that could convert my map to be compatible with the Nekiro's downgrade or to change the Nekiro's downgrade so it would accept my 7.4 map. The idea is to be able to play my map using a 7.72 client but with the 7.4 sprites over Nekiro's fork. It would be a 7.72 client with the 7.4 Tibia.dat and Tibia.spr files.

I don't plan to send the original map files over, but I have created a small 7.4 map by copying a random section of the original map and saving it as a different file. So I'm attaching this sample 7.4 map on this message, compressed with the RME files for the ./data/740 folder if someone wants to take a look. As for the "Tibia installation path" that RME asks, you should use the Cipsoft's vanilla 7.4 path with the original 7.4 Tibia.dat and Tibia.spr files.

If you think this is something you can do, please let me know so we can arrange this service. Remember that the map I'm sending here is just a sample, whatever the conversion method will be, it must work on the real map. But that we can discuss further in another moment.

Download the sample 7.4 map with RME files: to_convert (https://www.mediafire.com/file/6o3kxc5i3tgstzf/to_convert.zip/file)

Note: Using RME 3.7 works for me, I do get some warnings but nothing major.

Thank you!

Hi! Did You manage to do it?

 

[danilopucci]

Yes, I did the job. And with his agreement I made the changes on Nekiro's branch and now it is compatible with older maps

Hello glapa!

This should work:

GitHub - nekiro/TFS-1.5-Downgrades at 7.72

Alternative forgottenserver versions for older protocols support - GitHub - nekiro/TFS-1.5-Downgrades at 7.72

github.com

If you want to see only code that I changed, you can find the implementation here:

Hey, buddy. These are old commits, which are already implemented in 1.5 downgraded distribution. What I want to do is to convert tibia.dat and tibia.spr from client 7.4 to run on 7.72 so I dont have to replace thousands of graphics manually. Do you know how to do it?

If you are using OTClient, you don't need to do this.

If you are using Cipsoft client, you can try to edit .spr and .dat signatures by hexedit. The signatures are four first bytes of the files. I am not sure if it works, but you can try.

I don't know if you are aware of, but there are some topics about the map/items issues which everybody faces, and I covered it here:

RME won't use items.otb from 7.72 downgrade (Unsupported items.otb version)

I want to run TFS 1.5 with 7.72 Nekiro's downgrade and custom map. I'm trying to add real map for 7.1, so first I have to import it in RME and save again, because otherwise TFS will complain about items.otb. Problem is that there is no support for 7.72 version in RME - only 7.6 or 8.0 and I need...
