I recently put up an oldschool server. using the 7.4 client version. With slow rates and perfect quests & NPCs. I personally enjoyed the old client versions the most (before 7.6), and this is it again! Everyone who enjoyed the good ole' days should join in the fun!

A hotfix for 1.1.3 has been released, version 1.1.4 fixes a very serious bug that saved invalid maps for versions other than 8.4. Also, a crash has been fixed.

Hopefully there will be no more serious bugs now.

Happy New Year!

Version 1.1.3 of the editor has been released, new is 8.4 support and revised 7.6 support (previous versions accidently shipped with the wrong OTB file).

Merry Christmas!

It's now been a year since the editor was originally released, and there has been quite some improvement since then.

8.4 support is on it's way, however, there was some hazzles with the new features, it will hopefully be ready this week.

1.1.2 has now been released! Finally the eraser is working again, and several crash bugs has been fixed. Also, a very evil bug related to the map statistics screen has been fixed, that caused all the towns to be corrupted!

8.4 is not supported, and the reason is that the OTServ software has not yet been updated to support protocol 8.4, once it is the editor will follow. Expect another update within a week or so!

You can find the full change log here.

Also, some new features are available, among them the possibility to search the map for writeable objects.

Version 1.1.0 of the editor is now available! For those we haven't read the previous news, the flashy new thing this time around is tabs in the editor, so you can edit and view multiple maps at the same time!

I've been putting alot of work into fixing bugs in the editor so 1.1.0 can be released this week, and hopefully nothing serious will come up.

• Fixed bug that prevented the "Goto Destination" from displaying.
• Fixed bug that would cause 8.11 maps as being treated as "not-supported"
• The editor can now load 8.31 data files (still no change in format between 8.20 and 8.30).
• Added "Highlight Items" option to the view menu.

In other news, I've been working on 1.1.0, and it will hopefully be ready for release in a week or so. New features includes tabs, views and 8.31 support!

Looking for bugs right now, you can help out... by donating! :)

A small bugfix version - 1.0.8 - has been released to address one of the more critical bugs in the 1.0.7 release.

This time it should work! :)

The editor has once again been updated (it never ends...), this time to version 1.0.7.

Mainly this is a bugfix release. But there is also two major new points, and that is support for clients 7.6 and 8.22.

However, everyone should know that version 7.6 support is experimental and that it only works with the 7.6 servers that uses items.otb, it has been tested with YurOTS 0.94d.

For a full list of changes see the change log.

You can download it here.

As many of you have noticed, 8.22 has been released, and alot of people seem to be struggling with the fact that the editor cannot load 8.22 data files. If you need the 8.21 installer, you can find it on www.tibiaclient.com.

In the meantime I can indulge you all on the fact that the next editor version will in fact support 7.6! Yes, it is true! :)

Don't forget to report any bugs or feature request on the forums!

And as always, happy mapping!

All Linux users craving for a binary can now rest, as Jiddo has compiled the 1.0.6 version of the editor for the public!

Version 1.0.6 of the editor has been released, this is just a small bugfix release due to the high number of errors found in the 1.0.5 release.

You can view the Change Log if you're interested.

As is to be expected the Ubuntu release is lagging a few days behind.

Happy mapping!

You can now find Open Tibia releases in the download section, next to "Older Releases". Right now only the latest Avesta build is available (merged with the data branch).

Ubuntu Linux build of 1.0.5 is now available. All Linux users rejoice!

I'd also like to remind everyone of the Nightly Builds. With them you will always get the bleeding edge features, at the cost of possible instability.

Version 1.0.5 of the map editor has been released, new features include 8.20 support. lots of new brushes and better organization of the RAW palette. A system for checking for availability of newer releases. And of course -everal bug fixes. For a full list of changes see the change log at the download page.

Goto the download page and download it now for Windows now!

Linux Ubuntu release should hopefully be available later today.

For those of you looking to start your 8.20 servers, it should be noted that no released server actually supports the 8.20 data formats, with the exception of the Avesta branch of OpenTibia SVN.

Hopefully the 1.0.5 release will come around any day now, and with it proper 8.2 support. Note that NO server except OpenTibia SVN actually supports the 8.2 map format so far. Hopefully they will be released soon.

While waiting for the release to come around you can take a look at the change log:

• You can now reload the data files easily by tapping F5
• Export minimap no longer resizes the main map
• Editor no longer crashes while loading/saving under certain circumstances.
• Editor should no longer display an improper error message when failing to load a map.

• Editor can now load both 8.10 and 8.11 data files for version 8.10.

• Hotkeys are now working when the palette has focus.
• Fixes to certain border intersection.

• Editor no longer crashes when exporting a very large minimap (it displays an error instead)
• Added an update checker to the editor for future versions.
• Custom Monsters are now stored in the Application Data directory under Windows or ./data/user under Linux, so the original files are not cluttered with custom monsters.
• USE_MEMCACHED_SPRITES is now FALSE by default, editor will force this setting when loaded for the first time. Should reduce memory usage by 40-60 MB.
• Fixed a bug where the screen would go black when converting the map to another version.

This project now has it's own website! Enjoy the sleek design and excellent features.

Some parts are not yet done, like the Extensions. Hopefully this will be taken care of in the next few weeks.

The forum is at the moment private due to the overwhelming load of the OTFans server. In the future it will be opened up to the public eye again.
