[Sweden] Alera 7.7

[assassinho]

I will still try to convince you to make it exp stages. You need to be different to classictibia because at the moment I don't think any of the high levels will move from there to Alera. It doesn't have to be high stages but if you make it like 10 in rook and then slowly going down to 3 at level 50 or something I think alot more people will play, and stay. People really likes this kind of servers but sometimes if the exp rate is too low not too many is going to stay, essesially if there are other servers with same concept.

yes the most people play classictibia ot. becuase thats already low exp RATE like 3x? mostly they got 80 players online~ ore more, so i think this ot will nee a stage.

Folks, listen. I do not want to say anything about Classictibia because I know i'll get critizm from most of you guys. But please, do not compare Classictibia with Alera, I take it as an insult. Comparing his work and mine, is also an insult. Yes, they have 3x exp, but I do not care. How do you know that I won't get many players because of this exp rate?

Time will speak and we'll see about it. If i'm done with the work with actions etc, doesn't mean I can relax, we'll have to work with co-operations, bugs and so on.

But as I said above, time will speak.

I indeed, comparing classictibia with alera, is a insult to alera :/

I didn't mean it as an insult but as far as I know you both have the same concept. Maybe your server is better with more exact spawns and npcs but the fact that he released his server a few months ago and got most players from classicalia right from the start means he got a steady base of players that leveled up their characters on low rate and won't do it again on another server.

Straight up to you, even if your server is way better you might not get enough players to start from the beginning because they are already playing a similar server.

One thing that gives you an adventage though, is the 7.7 client because it supports vista better (around 100 fps). Will you use 7.7 or 7.72?

7.7

7.7

I will try it out, if the engine works good, my ping to server is good, I'll play it for sure


Keep the work up mate!


Sincerely

If you take a close look at his script, you'll most likely laugh because he didn't bother fixing them. I've noticed and I do not rush into the project too fast. We could easily do like them, fix a couple of not even 100% scripts, convert the npcs and voila a "100%" server.

We are not only going to convert down the latest SVN but we'll edit it to fit 7.7, which means bolt should not delay when you shoot runes etc etc.

And even more, many bots only work for the patch of 7.7 because it was released shortly after the major update. If you pull this together I'm impressed
Do you have any idea about the opening date? And is there any way to make it go faster?

 

[Grifz]

Last time I said "We'll MAYBE open at this date" which was a total wrong date, but yet I warned the people with MAYBE since they were to excited to play it. Now I know why I shouldn't mention any date, because even tho I say maybe, you'll think it'll be open that day.

This week, I'll try to get some help of the guy who knew php, if we finish the site, it's easier to work. Then we can focus more on bug reports, finishing off the distribution, some actions left, fixing the functions etc etc

Sounds nice how far did you get with npcs yet? ^^

We stopped writing NPCs by hand, since it'll take longer time to write them by hand than writing a converter. So we decided to focus on more specific things as quests. Functions that is yet not introduced to open tibia. NPCs isn't our biggest issue atm, nothing is. But when we are done with the distribution, we'll see how we're going to do with the converter.

You were able to rope yourself on ropespot even though it was items, atleast on 7.7 not earlier verions such as 7.4 or so.

 

[Hellrage]

Yep those "bugs" where fixed in 7.5 already The only thing thats changed in 7.7 is technical stuff like directx9 and open gl

 

[GMBear]

From the posts it seems like it will fail but
good luck

Could you quote some? o.o

Anyways the only thing that I can say is a little negative is that it takes so long time but then again its better to take long time and be perfect when its opened than be quick and miss bugs ^^

7.7 is better then 7.6 since u can change ur dx9 to dx5 etc.

yes it will be and realots sucks aswell now? so this one will sucks either

Realots sucks because the owner is corrupt and because its a server made for earning money. Before it had quite alot of players but now its only like 50-60 online (ofc online numbers is still cheated so it might show even 300)
