Compiling Starting OT for stupid person

[grillbe1029]

Hello.

I've been struggling for a few days getting my hands on a good base server to mess around with. I've been trying to compile nekiros 7.72 tfs 1.5 downgrade but have't had any success. I have also tried to mess around with the tibiacore 7.4 but I'm way to much of a novice to fix my map editor from crashing and/or loading the wrong sprites.

I guess my question is if there is any nice clean noob friendly 7.4-7.72 server out there I can get my hands on. I do not know if it matters much but I have been adviced to get the latest TFS version possible. admittedly, the person who told me is probably just as much of an idiot as myself.

Most of 7.4/7.72/7.9/8.0 OTS servers you played are 8.54+ servers with old sprites. Some are RL Tibia Clients with .dll that fixes some problems, some are OTClient servers.
7.x protocols are pretty bad, they miss some parts of logic like 'invisible GMs' or 'invisible creatures'. If you played on RL Tibia in 7.x times, you know that it was possible to make 'invisible' creature be visible with bot or detect invisible GM on screen, as RL Tibia protocol (server-client) was not able to really hide creature/player. It just hide them on Battle List and make name/outfit invisible on screen.

If you want to use some newer protocol ex. 8.60, you can use my fixed version of Nekiro fixed by MillhioreBT:

GitHub - gesior/MillhioreBT-forgottenserver-downgrade at windows_compilation

TFS Downgrade 1.5+ is an engine based on nekiro downgrade but highly updated with current tfs code, it also has the lua modules divided and uses lua5.4 - GitHub - gesior/MillhioreBT-forgottenserver...

github.com

It compiles on Windows 10/11 and newest Linuxes.

what about older protocols then? there are only broken servers? or buggy ones?

Use leaked tvp its already the latest stable lacking very few fixes

No matter the protocol, you won't find a bug-free engine.

Yes, im sure about it. i meant to say critical bugs some bugs or errors like described by gesior

appreciate it. Currently getting error [process exited with code: 3221225501 (0xc000001d)] when trying to run the .exe and from what i can gather on google it basically means my pc is trash? Just wanted to check with you if you know what it means before i go out and buy a new pc.


edit: solution was to change to Streaming SIMD Extensions 2 (X86) (/arch:SSE2) before compiling.
