RealOTS – Update Notes

I'm excited to announce our upcoming migration to a brand-new server engine, with a predicted migration date set for July 10th (10.07) if everything goes according to plan.

 Please rest assured that there will be absolutely no character reset during this transition. All of your levels, items, skills, and overall player progress will be fully preserved and carried over seamlessly to the new engine.

Engine & Infrastructure (TFS 1.4.2)

• Core Architecture Upgrade: Moved to a highly optimized TFS 1.4.2 engine. Increased networking packet limits eliminate input lag during massive guild wars and high-density hunting pulls.

• Latency Improvements: Network optimizations have significantly reduced ping (e.g., dropping from 70-90ms to 30ms).

• Rewritten Item Decay: Completely rewrote the item decay system to fix stability issues and lag caused by the previous engine.

• Developer Logs: Added extensive player logging to help debug issues faster.

• Future-Proofing: This core upgrade ensures maximum stability. While the main gameplay remains unchanged, future updates will be much easier and more frequent.

Client & Protocol

• Protocol Migration: The newer protocol supports modern features, including Mounts, the Market, and the In-Game Store.

• OTC Redemption: We are moving exclusively to the OTC Redemption client. It will be enhanced with configuration options to match your preferred playstyle (e.g., toggling between 4 or 5 items per backpack row).

• Smoother Animations: Outfits now utilize a new animation style with more frames for smoother movement. If requested, we can consider adding an option to revert to the classic, lower-frame Tibia style.

• The Golden Era (8.6 Combat Mechanics): Fast-paced PvP and PvE pacing returns. Most attack spells (Berserk, Energy Wave, Sudden Death) feature classic 2-second cooldowns. The client is perfectly synchronized to display accurate mana, level, and exhaustion details for over 180+ spells.

Map & Content

• Map Expansion: The map has been upgraded to a newer version featuring many new locations. While not all are accessible immediately, they will be unlocked over the coming months.

• Quest System Modernization: All major quest structures and thousands of map events were solidified and migrated to match RealOTS.

• Unlimited Limits Removed: The engine now supports all outfits and monsters up to version 14.12. This removes previous implementation blockades, making new quests much easier to add.

• Monster Loot Enhancements: Loot tables have been updated with missing items from newer Tibia versions, adding more value to every hunt.

• Oriath Relocation: The custom area "Oriath" has been moved to a new coordinate on the map to prevent overlapping with official islands.

Systems & General Changes

• House Cleaning: During the migration, houses belonging to players who have not logged in within the last week will be cleared.

• VIP to Noble: The VIP system has been renamed to the "Noble System." All perks and functionalities remain exactly the same.

• In-Game Store: The store is available but features a finalized, updated catalog compared to what is currently on the test server (pandemiaots.pl).

Server Announcement: Reverting to Previous Version

The Issue Due to persistent memory management issues (specifically dangling pointers) in the TFS main branch, we are reverting the server to the old client and engine until further notice.

The current version suffers from frequent crashes—often two or more per day. In contrast, the old server version was extremely stable, crashing only four times over three years.

While migrating scripts and content is manageable for me, fixing core engine crashes is currently out of reach. The issues are complex; fixing one synchronization error often triggers another.
For example, simple events like monsters decaying or gold transforming have caused the game to crash.

When: Today at 17:00 polish time, should take couple of minutes.

Client Instructions You have two options for connecting:

• Old Client: Use the client version from before the patch.

• Mehah Client: You can use the new "Mehah" client (OTClient), specifically the version for 8.60.

• Cross-Platform: Android, Linux, and Mac versions are available in the Download section.

What’s Next? I am currently looking into Canary, a Brazilian-based Tibia engine repository. They utilize modern coding practices (like smart pointers) that would solve these crash issues permanently.

I do not have a timeline for this yet, as it requires significant research and preparation. However, rest assured that your progress will be saved. 
Note:

ID of potions stayed from new client to remain compatibility, but in shops there are old ones. 

After migration if any one is missing addons, dm on discord.
