Hello Community,

how can i upgrade a Tibia 7.6Server to a Tibia 8.6 Server ?
I just tried to copy and paste all files in the same folder, but ofcourse it didnt work.

Can you please give me some tip's how i can convert the data's ?
Would be great.
 
Compare the source code and see what protocol changes the 8.6 source has.
If you are talking about the datapack you can either just overwrite most files and then work out the errors as you go but make sure to make a copy of your datapack first.
Or you can start with a clean 8.6 datapack and add your custom things, map, custom scripts etc

There is no real "tutorial" for things like this, you do one of those things and you fix the errors - it's not fun :p
 
why dont just use an 8.6' ?
DISABLE HOTKEYS OPTIONS
regards

I have an old OTChaos Server, and i wanna upgrade it to 8.6 .
I already tried to upgrade the map, but when i start the server i get this error : " FATAL; OTBM LOADER Could not open the file "datapath".

I already saw some Tibia 7.6 Server that get upgrated to 8.6, so its 100% possible but i dont know how ...

ofcouse it's posible you have to do ource edition in defitions.h items.cpp
in yours items.otb in your map etc maybe some source editions i suggest you took a 8.6 and downgrade it or make a fake 7.6 protocol
its more factible use an 86 and downgrade than try to upgrade a 7.6 thats for sure

But what are you talking about, you want an 8.6 server with 7.6 graphics?
I thought you wanted to upgrade a server from 7.6 to 8.6.

Hey, i guess thats exactly what we are trying to do. We want to keep everything from the old 7.6 Server (graphics, monsters, items npc) but the "engine" should be on 8.6 if thats correctly expressed. (so 8.6 clients can connect)
Are there any "tutorials" or tips on how to do this?

thanks for your help and time

Oh okay ..
Well not there are no tutorials for it, you need to compare the protocols of the versions you wanna use and send the correct packages for the correct version.
You also need to write code for outfits, you can't send an 8.6 outfit id to an 7.6 client, since it can't be found the 7.6 client will crash.

And no offence, but if you need to ask these questions it will be pure hell for you to try and fix this, it will take ALOT of time - even if you know what you are doing.
 
can I simply disable the hotkey usability in a certain area ( or with a storage X) to make it later able to use them
Also: if this done and hotkeys are not enable-->> could the elfbot use items or potions on Self?
