### What is otclient?
2011-11-15 21:07:00 +01:00
2012-07-06 01:37:32 +02:00
Otclient is an alternative Tibia client for usage with otserv. It aims to be complete and flexible,
2011-11-16 06:54:45 +01:00
for that it uses LUA scripting for all game interface functionality and configurations files with a syntax
2012-07-06 01:37:32 +02:00
similar to CSS for the client interface design. Otclient works with a modular system, this means
2011-11-15 21:07:00 +01:00
that each functionality is a separated module, giving the possibility to users modify and customize
anything easily. Users can also create new mods and extend game interface for their own purposes.
2012-07-06 01:37:32 +02:00
Otclient is written in C++2011, the upcoming C++ standard and heavily scripted in lua.

### Features
2012-04-27 11:15:49 +02:00
Beyond of it's flexibility with scripts, otclient comes with tons of other features that make possible
2012-04-27 11:59:32 +02:00
the creation of new client side stuff in otserv that was not possible before. These include,
sound system, graphics effects with shaders, particle engines, modules/addons system, animated textures,
2012-04-27 18:23:51 +02:00
styleable user interface, transparency, multi language, in game lua terminal, an OpenGL 1.1/2.0 ES engine that make possible to
run on mobile platforms like Android/iPhone/iPad and much more. Otclient is also flexible enough to
2012-04-27 11:59:32 +02:00
create tibia tools like map editors just using scripts, because it wasn't designed to be just a
client, instead otclient was designed to be a combination of a framework and tibia APIs.
