How to start Tibia 7.5 server

You must, first of all, start downloading a nice server. I suggest YurOTS or grimmed server

This tutorial is based on YurOTS though, so I suggest you download that one.

Now, the first step;

1. Download the server. (You must be a member to enter the downloads.)

This Step is kinda explaining itself, you download the server and extract it with WinRAR. (Download it at www.rarlab.com)

2.Now that you’ve downloaded and extracted your server, browse to the place you extracted it to. This is what you’ll see (you’ll want to be in the OTS folder):

I’ll give a little explanation of every thing displayed here.

1. This is the data folder, containing all player files, account files and other scripts needed to run your server.

2. In here is the documentation (readme and stuff).

3. Well, I don’t know anything about this actually .

4. This is the config.lua file, it contains the server configuration (such as where the map is located and what’s your ip.)

5. These are dll files needed to run the server and the tibia.dat. DON’T CHANGE OR DELETE ANYTHING OF THIS.

6. This is the .exe file needed to start your server.

3. Now you know everything you need to know about the OTS folder, next is; the data folder. Open it and this is what you see:

Again, a little explanation would be nice wouldn’t it?

1. This contains all account files. They are named in the form of number.xml

2. This contains the file actions.xml, which says to which action.lua file each item leads, and the action scripts which actually makes, for an example, doors work.

3. In here are the files of all houses. You don’t need to change these for they are allready good as they are in the yurots map.

4. This contains the items.xml file, giving all item id’s. DON’T CHANGE THESE EXCEPT WHEN YOU GOT A REASON AND YOU KNOW WHAT YOU’RE DOING.

5. This contains all monster.xml files, telling the looktypes mana and other stuff such as attacks and loot.

6. In here are the NPC.xml and NPC.lua files. The .xml files refer to the .lua files and have got some extra information such as how the npc looks.

7. In here are the player.xml files.

8. In here are all spell scripts.

9. In here are the VIP lists of all characters.

10. The map file is in here.

11. This contains all commands. DON’T CHANGE THIS.

12. This contains the guilds, which are created at the “Guild Master”.

13. In here, it says what houses contain what items on what spots.

14. This is another file for houses. You don’t need to change this.

15. This contains the codes for the PVParena. Don’t change this for they’re already set.

16. This is the file for the waiting queue.

17. In this files all signs with text are listed with what they say.

18. This file says which monsters can be summoned for what mana. If you want you can change the mana rates a bit or add some monsters, but only do this if you understand it a bit…

4. Well wasn’t it nice to know that? Let’s get back one folder, to the OTS folder.
