Jan 31 23 January 2023
With today’s server save, there has been a full map clean, as well as a wave of updates, improvements, adjustments and alterations.
Firstly there have been some adjustments to monster AI, pathing, targeting, as well as pathing in general and in addition, further improvements to the map click reliability for those using Nostlather OTClient.
(If anyone notices any irregular behaviour or issues with these changes, please contact me asap)

There have been several changes around the world. A small hostile elf camp has sprung up outside Carlin, the cyclops camp south of Thais has expanded, large wolves have built a den outside Ab’Dendriel, dwarves have invaded Cormaya and the dead have begun to rise in the Darashian deeper catacombs. A secret passage to the outskirts of Mintwallin and a way into the dragon lord lair near the Pits of Inferno have also been discovered.

Several existing NPCs in game will now also have some new missions to be completed for special rewards and unlocking new unique and custom outfits. A hunters logbook can also be purchased form these NPCs which can be used to track certain monster kills.
A Football and Ice Hocky arena have also been built in Thais. This stadium ma be used in future events, but anyone is free to play.

  • Fixed a bug where poison/energy/fire field runes should be shot onto blocking tiles (like a pot or a trough) even though the field cannot be placed there. Not correctly returns "There is not enough room" message and no longer consumes rune charge.

2022-10-04 07:04

  • Implemented monster "training" mechanic from old tibia. Monsters will now advance their skills if they are attacking long enough. This applies to wild monsters AND player summons.
  • Fixed a bug with how fight mode was calculating shielding defense. Monsters and players that are not attacking are always considered to be in full defense. If a monster or a player is attacking, their battle stance for attack factors into their max damage (this was correct) and their shielding defense. In the case of shielding defense, if a player or monster was attacking, their shielding defense was calculated as being full attack. A Monster should always be attacking/defending in balanced attack mode. occasionally a player or monster was being calculated as being on full attack mode when calculating shielding defense. Attack mode calculation was being correctly calculated.


2022-10-04 06:54

  • Fixed bug where the player wouldn't move towards an item to rotate it (Eg right click > rotate a chest from a distance would queue the action but not run to the item)

  • Updated sale price of Naginata to H.L.

  • Fixed some logic with the login script that would reset players outfits back to the default outfit. Player outfit will now only reset back to default if the player has lost their premium AND they were using a premium outfit (Outfits purchased from the webshop and equipped with the !outfit command are NOT premium outfits and can be worn on free accounts as long as they have been unlocked)
  • Made optimisations for OTC. Should now be able to use items (opening backpacks, using a letter, etc) while running.
