Walking AutoMapper Rumor and security myths

Sup, heard about a rumor and want to see if anyone else knows anything about this, or is it just a tibia urban legend…or something like that…xD

The rumor is that there is a program that works like this:

Rumor version 1:
- People walk around any place, lets say regular tibia or an OTserver and everything the walk by can be then in someway automatically exported to a map editor and created there instantly… is this true??

Rumor version 2:
- Then heard from another guy , that everything that is in tibia AUTOMAP folder can be automatically exported to a map editor, and build there an exact replica with out any other work… Lets say you just copy automap files and get a fully detail structure map..


Well first off… I’m really skeptical about this, I must say.. I don’t belive a thing… but It’s better to be sure than to not know what things are out there… If so in my personal opinion this would be worrying thought for custom OT mappers… cause if realeased in any OT anyone can steal their maps…:S

The other thing like I say is I don’t think this is possible or that there is anything out there that can just do this. But I would thank anyone that has any info on this if its true an better so, if it is…. Is there anyway to avoid this??

Hope members can help me put some light in to this matter and solve this tibia’s myth..

P.S. Is it also possible after changing admin passwords, and setting up some security confing, and not having any Trojan or keyloggers in the main server pc, for someone to just get in and “Hack” /copy all server… and steel it?.. Some also say it easy and possible with so outer programs without getting a Trojan in the server pc, so is it?… That’s a bonus question.. Thanks in advance to all members who participate..

I've known about TRACKED map projects. like the cipsoft map of tibia. but nothing about a AUTOMAP thing. also.. i saw the Tracker.exe posted in a thread. If someone could do the tibia replica with that "software" i think it can do the same with everyone. (I don't know if the tracker thing works like that.. but that's what i understood xD). hope i give you a clue

1) You can use zionz's zTracker to walk around Tibia, it'll record the map, then you can export it to a .otbm where you can open it in a map editor. That is how these "tracker" teams are getting the real map.

2) The automap files just store the ground tile as a colored image (green=grass, blue=water, red=impassible objects such as a mountain...). You could make a program to convert the images to tiles to use in a map editor, but it won't, not even closely, make the map look like the real one.

all true but i also have some more to add

1)for now zionz's has locked the zTracker so it cant be used on OT's zTracker only works on real tibia.

Walking AutoMapper Rumor - That's the true one, There's a file you can track the tibia map on.


However, I really doubt the other rumour.

as far as i know such programs exist, and it's probably the #1 reason my map will never go on a server.

Maybe locked for you.. If you know how, you can let it work with an OT also. But that would ruin the most Ots..

Rumor 2. I'm the one who said that from the beginning becuase I did that in the 7.6 Client.
That's also how Eloth RL Map server (7.6) got his map.

I opened the Tibia file (C:\Program\Tibia) and marked all those .MAP files then I opened Adobe Program (I don't know wich one) and made all those .MAP files into 1 huge .OTBM/.OTX file and put it in my server.

Well. I do not have any .MAP files anylonger, I think cip deleted those in 8.0 version. I atleats don't have anymore of those in my Tibia Folder.
But it worked.

I just had the map, not the NPCs or anything. Just the map. That is not a myth, it's truth.

Its located somewhere else now You did it with photoshop?
I don't believe that could work. But who knows, I'm going to try it like you said some day
