Ascendia - 7.7 Real Map Discussion Thread

Reliving Tibia 7.7 with a Modern Twist​

Welcome to the dicussion thread of Ascendia, a server built on nostalgia, ambition, and shared love for old Tibia. It is based on the 7.7 client files with a custom engine to create a 1:1 replica. We will be using the OT client to further implement customizations according to the updates. Our goal is simple. To recreate the 7.7 client you know and love with a modern twist through carefully crafted Quality of Life updates that simplify tedious and time consuming tasks so that you can focus on having fun.

Currently we're a growing team with passion for OT development focusing to bring you the best experience where our aim is to give you the perfect blend of old-school Tibia and modern-day innovations to enhance your gameplay without compromising the magic of the old days.

As we speak this thread will serve for discussions, bug finding and proposals. The rates of loot, skills and experience will be set to 1x. In the near future we plan to open the server for testing while we continue our development.

Why ChatGPT is making every logo literally in the same way? xD
Looking very promising - wish you all the best.

Well no idea, but I dont think people spend resources to make a logo for a post on a forum. That's resources better spent elsewhere

You had me untill excersice rods and offline training. Not meeting up and skilling while chatting just removes the social aspect from the game. Makes the world seem dead too. Maybe try to find a middle ground?

You started carving an idea of a true 7.4 by leaked files 1:1 and then you talk about a lot of custom things lol... Arent you lost?

I'm not going to encourage automatic progress, hence progress using training tools will be far inferior to manual training.

So, a custom 7.4 like nostalrius, olders and so... nothing new right? But is a good idea to farm money. Go on!

Im not. Tibia has over the years implemented tools that people love and theres no shame to add them to a classic server depending on the case. In this case the majority of the implementations focus on quality of life changes such as:

Statistics of your hunt: loot, exp and damage input.
Auto loot
backpack sorting
market.
One depot for all cities
hotkeys and actionbars
Stash to quickly deposit stuff in depot
mailbox, no more parcel dependant cities

This is only a portion of what is to come. All of these small improvements combined will provide an improved experience to playing classic. You cant just download and run a server everybody has.. Without continous updates and changes even Cipsoft would die out.

You are pretending to use 1.4.2 with downgrade spr ?

I cant help but feel that you are very negative in my thread. This is something im excited about and if you dont like it.. well, nobody is forcing you to play? If you have constructive criticism fine. But you are literally only negative. So please keep your opinions to yourself.

 

[leo18dff]

If you are plaining to build a server you must be ready to face everything, i just make a regular question, will you use tfs 1.4.2? Or that is offensive to you?

The engine is a product of reverse engineering the binary from the leaked files. So to answer your question, no. We did not use a later version of TFS and downgrade it. If you actually bothered to read the post you would see that we are implementing functionality that TFS has and we dont.

Update​

• We recently switched from a reverse engineered engine to buying TVP from Ezz.
  
  
• After alot of tests and reviewing footage of Client 7.7 we have replicated real tibia walking formulas in OTC in every aspect. A true 1:1 on OTCV8 OTA.
• We started implementing the classic layout on a fresh OTCV8 OTA Client install so everything is from scratch with custom additions, here you can see the finished stash system.
  
  You can even filter stashed items by NPCs that buy them!
  
  
  
• Additionally we have resolved over 60 founds issues to the client and actionbar!
• Market system is being implemented as we speak
• RL tibia mailbox fully functional, you no longer have to type in city name, as all cities share same mailbox.
• Panels being added RL tibia style
• HD graphics being implemented to graphics settings.
• Added visible charges and timers to both rings and amulets

Currently there's up to 2-3 developers taking part in this project to make sure the end product will be top notch aswell as being finished as soon as possible.

 

[Ascendia]

HD graphics have been implemented to the client with the option to toggle them on and off, incase of potato pc.



Improved graphics with option to Activate/Inactive HD from client graphic settings. Below is an example to show you the difference.

• 1st Image is neutral
• 2nd Image is Antialiasing + HD Graphics
  
  
• Another before and after HD.

• For a long time it has been known that actionbars in OTC are lackluster and filled with bugs. You can set multiple actioins to same hotkeys, items with subtypes will display incorrectly and assigning objects is displaying cid. We are also dealing with the issue where the GrabberWidget kills the process when you logout. We are currently resolving the issues and additionally extending the actionbar to equipping/de-equipping gear, amulets, rings etc..
  
  
• You will also be able to see ring timers and charges aswell as charges on amulets.
  
  
• Blessings seems to be TFS based, atleast it's identical to Nekiro. From a quick glance facc and pacc reduction are not separated. This will be reviewed.
  
  
• Blessings panel is starting to look really nice, not complete. It's just a preview. But you will be able to keep track of your blessings moving forward.
• More QoL updates coming stay tuned.
