Hey guys looking for a 7.4 distro... What do you guys think is the best one to run?
Avesta?
OTHire?
TFS 0.4?

I'm moving into unknown territory here so any help is appreciated thanks.

Server will be RL/custom map low exp.

Go with OTHire 7.72 and insert 7.4 sprites. The least bad thing to do. There is no real 7.4 server being hosted, since 7.4 client sux hard, no DirectX9 support. Also, for 7.4 custom map, PLAY CELESTIA, check my signature.
 
I'm not premium anymore, but I remember that mattyx (or something like that) had a lot of sources of downgraded 0.3.7. Personally, I never tried a pre-8.x version in new distros (Only had 7.x servers when they only had XML support lol).

Code:
22:53 We are in BETA test. Please use command '/report [msg]' if you find any bugs, it will also automatically send us your position. Keep in mind the server will be wiped before the official launch. Estimated time of arrival is before december.
22:53 Codex [8]: !online
22:54 1 players online.
22:54 Codex [8].

Man you are a fucken savage. HAHAHAHAHA Reason i'm leaning towards OThire though is becuase looks like its the most supported. UNless you can tell me otherwise? Just want a base RL server to start with and add all my custom shit on.
 
Check this one if you are still looking.

I tested Celestia today, it was good until I ran out of spears since they weren't infinite :(
 
That's why I chose knight ;)
level 14 baby :p
I died early on to a wild warrior tho :(
RIP hahaha i'm kind of excited to get this server going hahaha

@Colors Having a looksie now =)

Would be sick if i could jsut downgrade 1.1 to 7.4 since i'm comfortable using that :'(
 
Use OTHire, I built a 7.4 from it and never had an issue with 150+ players online. Was also able to add all the functions the popular servers have like Party Share Exp, Guild Wars, etc. Its also got alot of people using it if you need support.

What datapack did you start from if you dont mind me asking? Just realized cant use colors one he provided coz i'll need to run it on OTX RIP

Also how much RAM you use with 150 players?

This is why you should learn lua... you can convert these functions into metatables & metamethods

? I am learning lua the more i progress with my servers. Only been scripting for 5 months +- ... I didnt think it was possible to have 1.1 run 7.4?

1.1 coding construct has nothing to do with 7.4, your using lua LUA.. since the dawn of writing scripts in lua metatables and metamethods have existed.. you need to break away from this mindset that the only place you can use metatables and metamethods is in 1.x...
Do you think I am telling you people to learn the core language just to break your balls?

Why do you keep telling me to learn LUA when i obviously am trying to? :(

And am i the only one lost about what @Codex NG is trying to say? Are you trying to say OThire - 1.1 are the same thing? When i say "I wish i could just use 1.x as i'm comfortable with it" what i mean is i know majority of people use it so support is easier. I have a snapshot of it in VMware so I can just deploy and everything is done and functions will obviously be diffrent..

Your lost because you are not learning the lua language, you are learning a framework... I know this because I have seen your code, as I have seen many of the scripters here on otland's code, you people just can't grasp the simple fact that knowing how to somewhat construct a script of a particular framework does not make you a scripter, you are limiting yourselves to just this community..

This is why we have thousands of download and run servers, because everyone just copy & pastes what the last guy did and then cries about it not working... because you can't think for yourselves about an alternative approach, someone who knows the core language always manages to find a work around.
