Tibia 8.6 OTs and TFS questions

[lordhen98]

Ive been back to play tibia after many years, and in the past weeks ive been having fun configuring and testing TFS 0.x and 1.x. The only version that I couldn't compile yet is the 8.6 version from Nekiro. I didn't spend much time trying to compile it, but the time I did spend was enough to see that it was the one giving most errors.

I just dont understand why there are so many ots running on 8.6 if this version is not officially supported by TFS? Maybe I'm still lacking knowledge, but I just cant understand how.

I know it's Tibia most played version of all time, but I wonder how they keep and maintain these servers? Do they use another engine?

Is it? Do you have any actual source to back that up or is that just your feeling?

If you're using Windows, here's a step-by-step tutorial on how to download and install correctly:

• Install Visual Studio 2022+ on your PC with English language and desktop development with C++.
• Download the official vcpkg from Microsoft. You can find the download link here. Once you download and extract it, you can place it in any directory, such as D:/ or C:/, according to your preference.
• Go to the vcpkg master folder and right-click while holding the Shift key. Then, click on 'Open command window here' or 'Open PowerShell window here' to execute the commands.
• Run the following commands:

.\bootstrap-vcpkg.bat

.\vcpkg integrate install

• Depending on whether your PC is 32-bit or 64-bit, run the appropriate command:

For 64-bit:

.\vcpkg install --triplet x64-windows boost-iostreams boost-asio boost-system boost-filesystem boost-variant boost-lockfree luajit libmariadb pugixml cryptopp fmt

or

.\vcpkg install --triplet x64-windows boost-iostreams boost-asio boost-system boost-variant boost-lockfree boost-locale boost-beast boost-json luajit libmariadb pugixml openssl fmt

or

.\vcpkg install --triplet x64-windows boost-iostreams boost-asio boost-system boost-filesystem boost-variant boost-lockfree luajit libmariadb pugixml cryptopp fmt

For 32-bit:

.\vcpkg install boost-iostreams boost-asio boost-system boost-filesystem boost-variant boost-lockfree luajit libmariadb pugixml cryptopp

or

.\vcpkg install boost-iostreams boost-asio boost-system boost-variant boost-lockfree boost-locale boost-beast boost-json luajit libmariadb pugixml openssl fmt

• After running the appropriate command, check if there are any remaining errors and try another command to execute.

It's easy to compile Nekiro. If it's official, Nekiro or any TFS 1x+, I highly recommend TFS 1x+ because it's easy to work with scripts/systems. Additionally, there are many available resources that you can find here on Otland!

Most 8.60 ots are still 0.4/otx2 ( otx2 is based of 0.4 )
What kind of error you got when you try to compile nekiro downgrade?
And if you prefer a up to date downgrade you can try sarah weskers ( Last update 2-3 months ago ) and it has few new stuff GitHub - MillhioreBT/forgottenserver-downgrade: 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 (https://github.com/MillhioreBT/forgottenserver-downgrade)

or you try the "new" downgraded version which has prob still alot of bugs since its brand new

Everyone knows that

I do not have an actual source. I should clarify that Im talking about OT servers, Im certain 8.6 was the most popular OT version.
