Dear all,
As many of you already know, @Mehah is working actively in a improved version of Otclient. It's safe to say that he literally resurrected it after a long hiatus of actually useful contributions. You can check his original topic here: OTClient 1.0 (https://otland.net/threads/otclient-1-0.271332)
Please check the images below, they speak by themselves:
OTCLIENT 1.0: 2.6k FPS
Unamed alternative paid version: 337 FPS
I'm not trying to generate any kind of rivality, the "unamed" version has some features which OTC1.0 don't have yet, like a better walk system, map caching and the exclusive thread. That justify it price? Absolutely not. And I have written A LOT about it and was very close to be banned from otland because of 'indirect advertsing' and also my lack of constraint in some posts. However, my tone don't make my points less valid...
Of course the "unamed" owner of the "unamed" otc will just cherry pick the improvements @Mehah is doing to his "unamed" project and as we move forward we will always be "one step behind" because it's simpler to copy the code of others than to actually developing and studying where the bottlenecks are. But let's remember for a second that @Mehah is working on this for 2 weeks now? The "unamed" owner will definetely have a hard time copying and solving all conflicts just to match the improvements otclient 1.0 already have achieved.
My point being: How to fight greedy and lack of trust in the community? We endorse projects such as OTC1.0 and Optimized TFS from @fabian766.
Being testers, donating, helping to improve other areas so they can focus in more critical and technical ones, raising issues and contributing also with the things you fix for yourself...
We got a lot of developers which are great here, we can literally do ANYTHING if we organize ourselves. Please take this into consideration.
Soon the vast majority of servers that never contributed with 'improvements' will have to migrate their sources to 'optimized tfs', soon the vast majority of servers that fixed otclient by themselves and never cared to make a pull a request with new modules and stuff will have to migrate. This is a lot of rework that could be avoided, a lot of "lost work" that simply could have been reduced if we shared more. I'm tired and starting to sound repetitive but it's so obvious that it pisses me off to see we are still doing things the wrong way (as a community). We have several people willing to pay $100-200 bucks for a small and one line fix but we have almost 0 people to donate 10$ to support a experienced programmer to improve one thing for everyone. That crushes my heart and hopes.
If you got any kind of experience with otclient, please, it's time to use your experience for a greater good: OTC 1.0 need a better layout and there's a lot of modules that could use a rework, if you're willing to help us out, we can have a usable open source version until august that will not only be better than "unamed" version but will also be ours, finally a default open client for the community to use instead of the cipsoft one.
Please, don't waste any more time. Let's do our part!
Best regards,
