7.4 Cipsoft Legacy Server

[tarantonio]

Keeping this project up, some changelogs:

- Only 2 RL Quests left to test (Paradox Tower and Queen of the banshees). Quest part almost done!
- All signs, statues and blackboards fixed
- All 7.4 features implemented
- Almost 98% npc fixed

It's a hard work to fix all possible bugs. I'm talking about every aspect of quests working like RL, I haven't see any OTserver with quests 100% working like RL.
Every sign is there, from heaven to hell.
I implemented every part of map including places that players never will be able to see (maybe on a GM tour, on special anniversary i will host a free tour)

OTClient is amazing:

Will you eventually add some custom content or are you aiming to get it up and running as a 'clean' version with all the addings you've done so far?

I'm working to get a clone of Tibia 7.4 in almost all features, but I think some of them need an improvement.
I have implemented some things like: Share experience, bank account, better client with modern graphic options, ...
I want to keep the old feeling, carefully adding things but nothing not related to that version. I added Port Hope because Tibia 7.4 needs more map/spawns for high levels and I like a lot the jungle theme.

About custom content, my goal is to bring old myths to life, but taking care of all rumours, legends and official info related to them. For example in the pursuit of the Sword of Fury you will not miss any myth around it, you only have to rpg hard to solve quest.
I probably add some custom monsters and boost/add new spams on the old map, but my plan doesn't include to add new map, isles or any new city. I prefer a populated world with more lore and quests to do, populating empty zones and expanding old respawns. Few examples can be new caves on the empty jungle around Port Hope, new or expanded dragon lairs, new caves/respawns on the empty zone between Kaz and amazon camp, etc...

My main thought is that within Tibia there are a lot of 'useless' NPC's. It would be awesome to give them a function, thinking of quests or maybe tasks. I find it funny how most of the 7.~ servers still havent used the opportunity to make city's and small villages really 'come alive'. Most of the quests are done by killing mobs and opening a chest at the end of the road. RPG-wise there is a lot to gain with giving all those NPC's a function within the game. Now i lack the knowledge on scripting and all, but i guess it wouldn't be that hard to do this?

That's one of my tasks to continue legendary quests right now. But you are right, it would be awesome. And I will try to make it happen.

DarkOT before it became a highrate 4 years ago.
Thorsan, my 8.0 server also has the 100% outline for quests

I don't wanna be buzzkill, but going after quests you can assume it has been done multiple times already in multiple servers

I mean 100% RL.

 

[Marcus]

I mean 100% RL.

That's exactly what I meant as well
Thorsan has 100% quests like rl tibia, every single tile, and every single effect, etc.. Banshee seals, Serpentine tower and every other quest that existed up to 8.0 ^^
My servers even use the correct fishing and shoveling system.
those systems doesn't exist in any servers yet, never seen or heard any other server except cip-engine servers that has the correct systems for those

But back to the quest part, what I know, there's a lot of servers that have very close to rl-tibia quests, and hand in hand, all servers combined, I do believe there's all rl tibia quests 100% accurate a few rounds around

That's what I mean. I'm trying to replicate RL Tibia in all aspects.
I did all the quest hundred of times in RL in 7.x version, banshee, postman, ancient tombs,... I have all the little things exactly like RL. Every tomb sign, blackboard, sign all over tibia. I am now replicating every word of npcs. Thanks again to people who released Tibia leaked files!
I'm going to give your server a try!

 

[tarantonio]

When I talk about 100% RL I mean things like that:

All servers I tried don't have all things replicated 100%, the Mintwallin prisoner has to react only if you say the correct colour (the one you chose before with Riddler) and he gives you a random number (there are only 4 options) to complete the quest with Riddler.
Things like that makes the difference in a server.

 

[tarantonio]

Another great advance for me, in the process of learning OTClient I managed to add second right panel in options:

 

[Ziker]

mid-rate (2x Experience, 2x Skills, 2x Mana Regeneration, 1x Magic, 1x Loot) non-pvp option is missing in the poll!

 

[Xamer]

It will be boring without PvP.
In my opinion: PVP - MEDIUM RATE - 2x Experience, 2x Skills, 2x Mana Regeneration, 1x Magic, 1x Loot

In the making of the last quest:

 

[tarantonio]

I'm near completing the last quest of the server.
I'm carefully adding all details step by step, I'm not satisfied if something not match RL, even little details like this:

 

[emil92b]

it's sad you cannot complete the 7.4 map in details, not enough cams

 

[UncleJakob]

I voted highrate,
What differnt your server offer than the rest of servers?

I have Cipsoft leaked files to replicate every square.

I'm trying to replicate Cipsoft server on the 7.4 version, trying to improve all aspects that have become obsolete or have been improved over time.
Few examples:
- bank account (in 7.4 you need to keep money on town depot to pay houses for example, I added the bank account to deposit/withdraw money, pay houses, etc)
- Share experience
- New modern client with OpenGL, extra panels, etc

But the more important thing is that I want to carefully replicate every aspect of the RL server. You will not miss any quest (nor any step of the old quest), I'm not making "easy" versions of them (see my thread again to get few teasers about it). You will not miss any book, sign, etc
The next goal once I got the server on a 100% RL status is to complete legends (examples are serpentine tower, sword of fury, etc) but taking care of all the lore around them.
I want to add some more content over time, but not in a rush. The only requirement is quality over quantity.
I have no ETA on this, I'll release the server when it's ready.
