After missing and dreaming of Tibia for years, I figured that today's lack of fitting OTs might prevent me from ever getting to play my favorite game again, which has been a great sorrow. But recently I started thinking that maybe I could set up my own OT for myself to play on.
In the past I've just checked the basic lists of OT servers, and I was never aware of the existence of this site and what's going on here. Now that I've found it, I have some new-found hope.
The problem is that I don't have the first clue about anything even remotely related to coding and all that. Quite frankly, I am completely useless at anything technical that goes beyond following a detailed step-by-step guide that assumes no prior knowledge (which sadly doesn't seem to be the case in any of the guides and stuff I've come across on this site).
What I am looking for is a basic 7.4 OT, just the full real map and everything it includes, with no changes to it being necessary. Back when I played OTs a lot, for a while every other server was a basic 7.4 (or perhaps some other versions) real map. So, I figured there's plenty of those floating around and that maybe it's sort of a plug and play scenario; just download and play it, and for simple changes like rates go change a number in some notepad. Considering all the rocket science I come across in literally every thread here, it seems to be an awful lot more complicated than that, which is quite confusing to me.
I'm looking to play alone, so I don't need the whole server part for people to play on, just the client. But perhaps setting up a OT always involves having the entire server, with the game itself sort of being built into it rather than into the tibia.exe file?
I suppose what I'm wondering is if it's at all feasible to just set up a world to play on, without having to do any coding or whatever it all is. I can't put into words how badly I want to have a functional Tibia world to play in by myself, and if there's any even remotely realistic way for me to achieve that, I am desperate to find that way.
Does every OT really have to be built from scratch? Can't some ready-made OT be transferred to me without the need for all these programs?
All I want is a 7.4 world with multi-client (which I'm guessing is easy to add with just replacing the .exe file or something, as that was done a lot in the past for regular players like me), any other changes to it are optional. Rates would be great to be able to change, but anything beyond that is a bonus, and quite frankly I'd be just fine even playing on basic 1x rates (would provide me with a reason to live for the next year or so, which is sorely needed lol) and perhaps even on another oldschool version. Although I'd be quite sad if I had to play one where wands and all that had been added, as it's not the kind of Tibia experience I desire so strongly, but if it was the only option it's still Tibia (when it was still sort of Tibia and not an entirely new game yet) and I could even settle for that if I had to, if it meant I got to play. Multi-client is the only thing I can't do without, for training and manasitting purposes. But the client being 7.4 (or perhaps older) and being able to change the rates a tiny bit would be so fantastic and I wish I could just buy that as a game or something.
I would so greatly appreciate any response that doesn't mention a bunch of technical mumbo jumbo that I won't understand (or links me to some of it that isn't basically made for toddlers to be able to use). Just some replies to my queries would do, to enlighten me on if this can be done, with some pointers to the easiest ways, and what's possible or not. I don't know. I just want to play 7.4 single player Tibia, and the one post I found from a guy with basically the same wish as me had him referred to the introduction thing that might as well have been a recruitment post for NASA. Please, help me. And I'm really sorry if this is quite annoying and something you guys get a lot, or the wrong place to ask, or not something you help with at all. I just don't know what to do.
TL;DR
I want to have a functional basic 7.4 OT to play on entirely alone without the need for online connectivity, but I don't know the first thing about all the coding stuff, and it's impossible for me to figure it out even with the guides. Is there a way for me to make this dream happen?
