Screens and description




A simple web-based tool that helps to find, plan, and map quests.
Supports .npc, .lua, and extracts books from .otbm files (sectioned).
I probably won't support it here, so if you can make it work for your files, have fun!

Basic setup:
Requirements

• Node.js 18+ and npm.
• Python 3.10+ for sync_storynode_data.py.
• Optional: PHP CLI with the gd extension if you want pre-rendered outfit sprites.

Source layout
The sync script expects an Open Tibia-style server tree:

your-server/
  data/
    npc/
      *.xml
      scripts/*.lua
      *.npc or *.ndb          optional legacy transcript formats
    items/
      items.xml
    world/
      sectioned/parts/*.otbm  preferred when available
      world.zip               optional zip containing .otbm files

Quick start

npm install
npm run build:graph
npm run dev

Open http://127.0.0.1:5177/.

Generate data from your server
Run the sync script against your own server root:

python sync_storynode_data.py --engine-root "C:/path/to/your-server" --project-name "My Server" --uri-scheme "myserver"
npm run build:graph
npm run dev

To rebuild automatically while editing source files:

python sync_storynode_data.py --engine-root "D:/path/to/your-server" --watch

Then run npm run build:graph when you want to refresh the frontend payload.

Optional Sprites
The graph works without sprites. If you have item PNGs and outfit renderer assets, put them in any folder shaped like this:

public-img-source/
  items/
    2816.png
    ...
  outfits/
    libs/outfitter.php
    outfits_anim/
      ...

Copy those assets and render NPC outfit combinations:

$env:STORYNODE_PUBLIC_IMG = "D:/path/to/public-img-source"
npm run sync:assets
npm run render:sprites
npm run build:graph

How comes this doesn't get anymore attention? It's actually an amazing idea

1. While it's cool, that's all it is. It doesn't have huge practical use, more of a gimmick.
2. It uses both Node + Python + PHP(optional) + ??. No-one wants to install 5 million things for such a tool.
3. OTLand sucks, everyone just wants free stuff without giving credit or leaving a comment.

Like I said, it's cool, I'm not trying to knock it in any way, I am just answering your question.

This is a fact, not many ots out there have the feeling of adding story lines, just some fast-paced Orshabaal OT to milk money and that's it.
The amount of servers that have good storytelling is short.
