What’s PyOT¶

PyOT is a server written in Python, using that Twisted framework that emulates the Tibia protocol.

PyOT is super fast, and uses diffrent methods than other projects. Some of which is:

Async SQL
Async core code
Async scriptsystem
Ability to utilize the best reactor designs (epoll (Linux), iocp (Windows) and kqueue (FreeBSD))
Ability to utilize JIT using PyPy
Very flexible core
Very configurable core
Very fast save format (save takes from less than 0.1ms to 0.3ms per player, scales over several sql connections, allowing for upto 10k saves per second)
Sector maps, dynamic load and unload for optimal memory usage (down to ~50MB on 64bit after login! (32bit can expect around half)) (*Multilingual mode may require more)
Support for instances or even having multiple worlds on one server!
Support for multiple languages (at the same time, now each individual account can have their own language!) (*all server sided messages, client UI is a different matter)
Ability to dynamicly script maps and custom items!

The Future for PyOT¶

Make all core logic possible to tap into using scripts (say, a war system should be possible to make entierly using scripts)
More intelligent monsters
Better NPC framework
Even more configurable behavior
Core support for all client features
Finish a base of scripts that emulates the default behavior rather well (can also be configurable)
Document all features
Write a couple of pages on scripting
Write a couple of pages on monsters, npc and other resources
Write a couple of pages on core development
Write a couple of pages on things should as installation
Write a much more detailed TODO List list.

Ideas (not yet desided):

Support for own Status protocol
Support for dynamic upgrade of custom clients over a custom protocol (useful for say, autoupdaters)

TODO: Write this one.
