I found this on Reddit and thought it might be interesting to some. It has a chart over all the components including stuff like game servers, login servers, database, query managers and each node has some bullet points with reasoning, pros/cons, lessons learned and so on.

Looks really cool!

Sounds like a nice server. That is like saying there is no overpowered vocation because everyone can pick the strongest vocation. In games with options, you always need to balance the options against each other. If one option is clearly stronger, that option is inherently better. Allowing...

I don't think travel by foot will be completely eliminated if you remove boats. People tend to stick around one area until you are ready to progress to a better spawn. When Edron trolls/orcs/rots is too easy and slow, you move on to a better spawn. With boats, people tend to make temporary...

Well, I think the key is to make the travel worth while. In current Tibia the boat is essentially a teleport room to all other cities. I would never walk Thais -> Venore -> Ab'Dendriel -> Carlin every time I sell my lootbags from Kazordoon mines, even if it gave me a little more profit. On the...

When you have a vision, that is usually about an end goal – a problem that you want to fix or an abstract feature that you want to implement. Then you come up with means to reach that goal. You have provided us with the means that you want to use, without formulating a goal. Experimenting...

Here is the Classic Tibia forum: https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/classictibia/

Tibianic decided to move away from a CIP clone and became Medivia.

I don't have it anymore, but it's not hard to remake. 1. You just need a tool to extract the images in tibia.pic: Elime's Pic Editor (https://otland.net/threads/elimes-pic-editor.242991/) 2. Find the light effect image: 3. Save this image to your computer. Edit in paint. Fill the entire image...

The shadow in icon #1 is interesting and all design elements works for an icon, compared to the other two submissions where details are lost.

I believe the font is stored in the tibia.pic file in client version 7. There are tools to extract the image to modify it.

@Pox Alright, I didn't know it worked like that in real tibia. I mostly played older versions.

Looks nice, but I have two questions: 1. Can monsters spawn on a players screen? Is there no spawn blocking? 2. If yes, could this animation not be confused with the Summon Creature spell? For example, let's say you are hunting Necromancers and a (real) ghoul spawns. It will look very similar...

That statement was quantified in the following quote: I agree with @Eldin. There has been countless of stock 7.4 servers. Medivia is utilizing the full potential of Open Tibia.

I like the undead theme with the grey color scheme and the banner The header icons and the font has a more goofy feeling (like Halloween decoration) The "index" header has a better font, but the color blends together with the background (could be fine if it's intentional) I think you mean...

I think the effect would look cooler if it was centered around the players. Maybe the sprites can be shifted over a bit?

Demand for an old sprite pack is one thing. It's not the same as demand for developer support for community-made custom sprite packs. The focus in this thread has very much been on the former, but that won't guarantee that the latter even exists. That's only in the best case scenario. In worst...

Cipsoft Engine seems like a valuable resource for testing, even if you decide to not use it for the server. Relying on old sources when making specifications for a feature is difficult for such an old game. I think that's one of those things that people are nostalgic about with 7.4, but don't...

Medivia moved in their own direction to create their own game. It seems like a healthy move for a long-term server. It doesn't seem very interesting to run a vanilla 7.4 server for a decade. What stops the community from creating their own sprite pack? Is it not allowed or possible to modify...
