okay, I want to learn to script!

[cake]

really ^_^
never thought I would, but I really want to make unique systems in me, collz' & hawars' upcoming server.

First of all, I know absolutely nothing about scripting.
Is there any tutorials explaining the basics?
Also I saw in tutorials something about C/C++, is that what Tibia-scripting uses?

Thanks!

 

[cake]

get any o.3.6 , make db, change the ports (if you hostin another server), make a god character, and start testing

Any tutorial on doing these things?

Server only for you, normal server with ports that none else don't know and you are onlyone who could connect = Private server, got it?

How do I make that?

Hey there cake, well if you want a test server, just so you can test your scripts and so, just download a serv and use localhost.
Then you wont even need internet connection since you're entering by your own + no one can enter.

Oh and I found a really good Tutorial about scripting, is really nice, it was made by Evil Hero
http://otland.net/f481/scripting-guide-74030/


Hope I helped.

I've understand that, however I have no possible clue about what I should download or what localhost is. Right now I got my map, a lot of lua files in different folders (npcs, actions, monsters, spells etc.) & TheForgottenServer.exe, some s3db or something, & a config.lua. What should I do?

x.x

Okay, you got a serv already thats good.
You know acc/pass from god acc?

First:
Go into your LUA (config), search the connection config

-- Connection config
worldId = 0
ip = "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" ---- instead of this you just put "localhost"
bindOnlyConfiguredIpAddress = false
loginPort = 7171
gamePort = 7172

Then go to your .exe file and double click it.
After that you shoud just wait, then put in your ip changer : localhost
Then enter with your acc and pass and now you are in your own server, alone and ready to test!

Here you can get some other servs (so you can use them to test)

Ah thanks, also how do I check god/admin account?

 

[Santi]

Well, In my case you just need the sqliteestudio.
I don't know if in your server.
Anyway most of the times the god accs are
2/2 , 2/god , god/god
Try that, if you can't get in just tell me I'll try to give you the sqlite .

 

[Sonical]

God char = in database set player group_id to 6.

Also read those basic OT tutorials How did you got that much of rep points when you don't know anything about servers or even what is localhost

I don't know lol. I don't even ask for rep as it doesn't really mean anything to me.

 

[Santi]

What ports were you using before?

 

[cake]

What ports were you using before?

no clue
how do I check that? xD sorry for all these questions :c

 

[Santi]

Hum, cake, what does it say like V of the connection config where it says
--Database
................
...............

Send me what it says there.

 

[cake]

-- Connection config
worldId = 0
ip = "localhost"
bindOnlyConfiguredIpAddress = false
loginPort = 7171
gamePort = 7172
loginTries = 10
retryTimeout = 5 * 1000

maxPlayers = 800
motd = ""
displayOnOrOffAtCharlist = false
onePlayerOnlinePerAccount = true
allowClones = false
serverName = ""
loginMessage = ""
