What is YATC?

YATC is a client for any game that uses Tibia-compatible protocol. It is being developed as a part of the OpenTibia project. We have chosen the name YATC since name OpenTibia Client was already taken by a project by another author.

The code has taken shape, but it is still in early development. We develop support for SDL and OpenGL based drawing engines. GLICT is the current user interface library. For now we can connect to the login server, display character list, connect to game world, display basic map, and we can move around.

This is readme for version 0.3.3SVN.

Quick logon

If you need compile instructions, please read INSTALL. If you have already compiled, or you have downloaded a binary, please read on.

Copy Tibia.spr, Tibia.dat and Tibia.pic from another client into YATC. We currently cannot provide these files due to copyright issues, and we have not created our own files. Then, start YATC. Go to Options->Network, and enter the server address. Then go to Enter Game and log on using your account number and password.

We currently support protocols 8.0 to 8.54. Autodetection will see from which version of the client you have copied the files and will use the appropriate protocol. You can manually switch protocol in Options->Network.

Under GNU/Linux, do not forget that caps matter. Tibia.spr is not the same as tibia.spr.

We have gettext() l10n support but only if you compile from sources. We are currently unable to provide a consistent UI for all platforms.

User interface

Main menu

  • Enter Game - Displays login window.
  • Options - Shows a window offering General, Graphics, Console, Hotkeys and Network options, as well as MOTD display.

Enter Game

Character list

Click on the character you want to log on with. Then click Ok. If there's more characters than fits in the list, use the arrows to find the character you want.

Game

On the top right you'll find the inventory. Right of it is the map. On the top right you will find the traffic meter. It measures the amount of bytes transmitted (TX), received (RX) and total (++). It also measures the same numbers per hour (in bytes per hour, kibibytes per hour, and mibibytes per hour).

On the bottom you will find a text box which you can use to chat. Pressing any letter or number focuses on the textbox automatically.

  • Use arrow keys to move.
  • Ctrl+click to "Use" item.
  • Shift+click to "Look at" item.
  • Alt+click to "Attack" creature.
