Old The Forgotten Server 0.2.9 for Tibia - Fixed to compile and run with modern OS (Ubuntu 24.04)

The Forgotten Server is an open-source MMORPG server emulator that supports multiple platforms. This repository contains a customized version of the server with various bug fixes and additional features.

Features and Fixes

Bug Fixes

Database Issue with SQLite: Resolved a bug where the DatabaseSqLite class could not properly inherit from the _Database class, which was causing compilation issues.
Warnings and Errors: Addressed several compiler warnings, including issues with snprintf, fgets, and memory allocation in several parts of the code.
Guild Leader Minimum Level: Implemented a configuration setting in config.lua to specify the minimum level required to become a guild leader.

New Features

Guild Leader Minimum Level Configurable: The minimum level required for a player to be promoted to guild leader can now be configured in config.lua. Simply set the desired level using the guildLeaderMinLvl parameter.
Animated Spells Above Player: A new feature that allows animated spells to appear above the player. This can also be configured in config.lua using the animatedSpellsAbovePlayer parameter.

Compilation Guide

Follow these steps to compile the server on Ubuntu 24.04+:

Install Dependencies:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install g++ liblua5.1-0-dev libmysqlclient-dev libsqlite3-dev libboost-system-dev libboost-thread-dev libgmp-dev libxml2-dev luasql-mysql luasql-sqlite3

Clone the Repository:

git clone https://github.com/your-repo/forgottenserver.git
cd forgottenserver

Compile the Server: Run the following command to compile the server:
```
make
```
The compiled binary will be generated as TheForgottenServer.
Prepare the Server:
- SQLite: You can use SQLite as your database engine. No further setup is needed; the server will use the forgottenserver.sql database automatically.
- MySQL: Import the forgottenserver.sql file into your MySQL database:
```
mysql -u yourusername -p yourpassword yourdatabase < forgottenserver.sql
```
  Then, update the database credentials in config.lua:
```
sqlType = "mysql"
sqlHost = "127.0.0.1"
sqlPort = 3306
sqlUser = "yourusername"
sqlPass = "yourpassword"
sqlDatabase = "yourdatabase"
```

Run the Server: You can start the server by executing the binary:

./TheForgottenServer

For easier use, create a runServer.sh script that restarts the server automatically if it crashes:

echo '#!/bin/bash' > runServer.sh
echo 'while true; do ./TheForgottenServer; echo "Your server crashed, restarting..."; sleep 2; done' >> runServer.sh
chmod +x runServer.sh
./runServer.sh

Configuration

`config.lua`

The config.lua file contains various settings you can customize for your server, including:

Guild Leader Minimum Level: Set the minimum level required for a player to be promoted to guild leader:
```
guildLeaderMinLvl = 50
```
Animated Spells Above Player: Enable or disable animated spells appearing above players:
```
animatedSpellsAbovePlayer = true
```

Using the Server

SQLite: By default, the server uses SQLite for its database. You don't need to perform any additional setup.
MySQL: If you prefer to use MySQL, import the forgottenserver.sql file into your database and update the database credentials in config.lua.
