OTClient Shaders/GM outline in OTClient

[anandas]

Hi, Is there any content on how to get shaders to work, like the outline of a gm? I scoured through the forum and even though i found multiple posts about wings/shaders/auras and even a gm outline as well nothing seemed relevant towards helping my case as every possible guide seemed to be using another client, like otcv8. And im not knowledgeable at all about the possible compatibilities between clients, even though i tried to find the functions to alter in the source code that some solutions here provided to get shaders to work.

Im using tfs 1.4 and edubart otclient v0.6.6, it's supposed to be possible, i just don't know how.

Thank you.

Just dowload otclient v8 , and add 1 module its hard because maybe need a msv2022 for recompile the commits :X

There are 3 popular OTClient versions:

• otclient by edubart ( GitHub - edubart/otclient: An alternative tibia client for otserv written in C++11 and Lua, made with a modular system that uses lua scripts for ingame interface and functionality, making otclient flexible and easy to customize (https://github.com/edubart/otclient) ) - original OTC author, project is pretty dead since edubart left it around 2016
• OTCv8 by kondra - for years it was commercial project (not open source) based on otclient, but with optimizations to get smooth walking and a loooot of FPS; kondra left it over year ago, so there are no updates, but he released source code, so now anyone can update it/compile .exe
• otclient-redemption AKA Mehah OTC ( GitHub - mehah/otclient: An alternative tibia client for otserv written in C++20 and Lua, made with a modular system that uses lua scripts for ingame interface and functionality, making otclient flexible and easy to customize (https://github.com/mehah/otclient/) ) - made by mehah - it's open-source continuation of edubart client, there are updates for new Tibia version (13+), but walking/FPS is still worse/slower than on OTCv8; since OTCv8 code was release as open-source, they implement OTCv8 features in Mehah OTC, but it's slowly and often code is a bit different (not compatible with OTCv8)

There is also a lot of C++ and Lua code related to it in OTCv8.

Hey, thank you very much for the detailed explanation about the differences between the main OTClients and their shader implementations. If I can't figure it out or if it's just not possible, I'll probably use the OTCV8.

However, I would appreciate it if you or anyone else could clarify whether shaders, such as the GM outline, can be implemented in v0.6.6 by edubart, since its source code includes OpenGL and shader C++ units. Additionally, if it is possible and wouldn't be an absolute insane task, how would one go about starting? (I realize that asking for a starting guide might be a bit much, but I thought I should ask.)

Thank you!

To be sure, OTCv8 does not at all get better performance in walking/fps than mehah's. I CONSTANTLY get messages from users asking me to "fix" the "walking" in otcv8.

OTCv8 is trash, and anyone who says otherwise, just wants your money.

Can they explain what's the problem of the walking?

Can they explain what's the problem of the walking?

I honestly didn't spend any time on trying to discern the problem, the only reason I even knew about it in the first place was because I was trying to help someone who messaged me about it, and thought it was a problem with OTX, I spent some time trying to narrow the problem down, and got it narrowed down to being only an issue when running OTCv8.

Since I refuse to spend any time helping anyone use OTCv8, I honestly don't know what the problem is and could care less... however, just a few seconds of some keywords and I found all these threads:

Hello, after reaching full madness and despair, i managed to achieve half success "for me", I think.

If one were to just look specifically in support forum with OTCv8, I am positive they will find more threads with the same problem, but just not worded with the word "walking".

At any rate, I just wanted to be clear about how garbage OTCv8 actually is nowadays... if people don't want to believe it, or still want to use it, that's their problem, but it's definitely not a problem with OTC-Redemption.

What's the reason behind it?
OTCv8 is still the most used OTC atm
I don't even know 5 ots with mehah otc tbh

And about the threads: Wasn't any crazy problem there
3 threads there could be solved just by turning on 1 feature

Because its a client that literally embodies the faults of this community, but hey, if the masses are jumping off bridges
