7.4 | Alternative OpenTibia Server

[Vee]

Small introduction
Once again I've made the decision to create another oldschool opentibia server.
This time I won't be the only one working on this project as I've got another team member!
He's known on this forum as 53701688 ( also known as Jeffry ).

Together we decided that we will create a complete new world in the oldschool style of Tibia: version 7.4
Although our server version is 7.4, the protocol is version 7.72 to also have the abbility to allow players with a higher OS version on our server.

Team members and their job
Vee Mapper/storywriter/PHP codemonkey
Jeffry C++ coder/LUA coder
Amoaz Mapper

Our engine is pretty much done already thanks to the awesome dedication of Jeffry - the engine has all the 7.4 features such as UH-traps, parcel traps etc.
The map is currently being developed, the beginners island named Rookiville will soon be done and a small test run will be held for those who are interested in testing

Current minimap ( Rookiville + beginning of mainland )

Before

Now

I will update screenshots from time to time to keep the community up to date

I promise those whom are waiting for such a server to come online that it will be worth to wait

-

Thread is now open for discussion and feedback

UPDATE:
Name of server: Alera.
Website: OpenTibia AAC by Alera Team

Regards,
Vee & Jeffry

Looks very organised. I hope to play it. How many city's and what type of city's are you thinking of making?

 

[Vee]

Planning to stay close to the type of cities that Tibia has: normal, swamp, elvish, dwarfish, ice islands and desert/oasis
For now my main goal as a mapper is to create the main cities at first: a regular city, a desert city and spawns matching the cities.

Thanks for your interest in this project! I'd be happy to answer more of your questions - if you have any.

 

[Karchii Oawaa]

Yeah. I'd love to play an old-school custom OT. Soon going to get tired playing the same old same old real maps;P

 

[Vee]

Thread has been bumped with a new picture of the current minimap - enjoy!

Modified 7.72 client.

 

[connorryan]

Modified 7.72 client.

So you cannot use a normal 7.72 client? ;'[

Give me one reason why you want to use the normal 7.72 client when you play a 7.4 server.
