Items OTB+

[PrinceCrow]

Hey all.
First off, sorry if this is in the wrong place.

Anyways, I've been trying to host a server for the past two days, but I haven't tried to host an OT server in about 5~ years so I'm pretty confused.

I've set up xamp, and set everything up in phpmyadmin. The server I'm using is TFS 8.54. Whenever I go to launch the server, it says "Unable to load items (OTB)" and that's as far as I get. I've googled items otb 8.54, downloaded Remere's map editor and taken the items otb+items from the 8.54 file and it still hasn't worked.

The only server I got to work didn't have an account manager and I couldn't find a tutorial on how to create accounts in phpmyadmin, so I couldn't test it out.

Like I said... I haven't done this in about 5 years, so I'm not sure if people are still using MySQL, or if people have split up servers and maps, or if people are even still playing on OT servers, so I'm really lost.

*The last thing I've tried to do is I downloaded the source file and dragged the items cpp into the items folder and took out anything that had "old version detected" such as:

std::cout << "[Error - Items::loadFromOtb] Old version detected, a newer version of items.otb is required." << std::endl;
return ERROR_INVALID_FORMAT;
}


Since it was on another thread relating to items otb missing and that didn't work.

I've searched on google and all through the forums, but it doesn't seem like I can find any answers. :/

The serve I'm using: Forgotten Server 8.54

Anyone have any idea what to do? Or a recent tutorial? Or anything?
Thank you!

Try to download items.otb from that git: https://github.com/peonso/forgottenserver036pl1 and just copy it to your items directory. items.cpp file is source file, not the actual otb file.

Hello, thanks for the reply! I tried downloading the items.otb file and using that instead of the one provided by TFS, and I still have the same issue.
Also yeah, I know the cpp file isn't the otb file (I had the items xml file, otb file, and cpp file in the folder) but it was the only solution I've found in my search so I just added the cpp file to the folder (it's out now)

Somewhere on OTLand there is tutorial on how to compile 0.3.6pl1 - find it and simply compile the source code. It might be some error in your tfs binary, that's preventing loading items.otb.

I tried to follow a tutorial, but it didn't tell me what to do with the source files after I edited them, and it still didn't run when I just dragged the edited files into my TSF folder (putting the items cpp into the items folder and spells file into the spells folder and so on) so I'm not sure I have the skill level to do this. If it matters, I don't care what serve I use - I picked TFS because it was what was recommended. I'm only opening it up to one other person so all I really need are items, characters, and houses. :/

I downloaded this [Evo 8.60] and dragged its config+data folders into my FTS folder and removed their data+config folder to see if maybe it'll work the only things from TFS I was keeping was the launcher, and the .dll files and such, but items.otb still didn't work.

Thanks for taking the time out to try and help me, though I'm not sure what else I can do since it appears every server I get has a weird items otb and I don't know how to compile (yet...)!
