Hello, I have a problem with vcpkg, namely powershell returns this message when installing bzip2

vcpkg-2022.05.10/vcpkg-2022.06.15

2022.06.15 is probably too old version of vcpkg and it won't compile.
Download my version of TFS 1.4 (branch 'compilation'):

GitHub - gesior/forgottenserver-gesior: A free and open-source MMORPG server emulator written in C++

It works with Visual Studio 2026 and newest vcpkg (git checkout master in vcpkg directory). You don't need to run vcpkg install xxx, just open vc17/theforgottenserver.sln in Visual Studio and it will download and compile all required vcpkg C++ libraries.

will it work with tfs 1.4.2 or only 1.4.0?

will it work with tfs 1.4.2 or only 1.4.0?

It's based on 1.4.2 with minor changes (added "global storage" in C++ that saves in database like on TFS 0.x, so it's values are kept between server restarts). There are also many optimizations and custom features, but almost all are disabled by default and you have to enable them in config.lua.

Only 2 features enabled by default are "OTS Stats" and "Optimized item decay". OTS Stats you can disable in config.lua or totally block in C++ with compilation options. Optimized item decay is replacement of normal TFS decay, so it cannot be disabled - it makes itemDecay use up to 99% less CPU.
