What is ShadeCores?
ShadeCores is a game designed to mimic the oldschool version of Tibia.com, but in a slower pace.
Our goal is to be a long lasting and functional game that doesn't run a course of being broken after a few years.

World Map
The map contains all places of Tibia 7.70.
It also contains 100% spawns of Tibia 7.70.
With exception of Port Hope that was removed for balancing purposes.
Ankrahmun was recently added to give a bit more varity and space for players to explore, however with modifications to keep the logic of ShadeCores, details can be found here: News Archive -Ankrahmun with modifications.

Built authentically
ShadeCores was built hand in hand with hacked Tibia files (7.70 version) and is very accurate to how Tibia was (with exception things that has been improved).
If you played Tibia back in 7.4-7.70 and join ShadeCores, you will yourself notice how scary accurate every single spawn is.

Game health
We have made many modifications to ensure a healthy economy and game.

Creature Behavior
In ShadeCores, same as in CipSoft's, creatures that's fleeing for their life (low health) will not make any pauses no matter how close the player is.
Creatures also doesn't have any exhaustion of their abilities such as attacks, healings and more.
Read more at: FAQ -Creature Behavior.

Creature spawns
ShadeCores has the very same spawn system that CipSoft's had back in the day.
All creatures that spawns has a "home".
And this "home" has a set amount of creatures that belongs to it, always same type of creature.

Accurate creature loot & inventory
ShadeCores have an accurate loot & inventory system for creatures, working identically as it did in CipSoft's back in the day.
Which means that creatures with items that give light, will also light up the creature, or armors that will increase the armor of the creature, or that when a creature wear boots of haste, it will run noticeably faster!

Authentic exhaustions
Believe it or not, OT's have it completely wrong, OTs uses 1 or 2 kind of exhaustions depending on which version they're meant to reflect (healing + attacking spells).
However, in CipSoft's, there were 3 different exhaustions in the old days, 4 if you include "using item on.." exhaustion which was 1 second.

Floor saving
ShadeCores are running with a map-saving system that allow the map to save certain edits done by players.
The edits can almost be anything from items added to certain places, to open doors, wall torches that's lit or not, items hiding in boxes, book cases or even unexpected containers invisible to the naked eye.

Game health balance
To ensure that ShadeCores become as perfect as possible, a lot has to be considered and corrected.
Our goal is to make a long lasting and functional game that doesn't run a course of being broken after a few years.
In ShadeCores, you're not meant to get unlimited supplies, hunting dragons, dragon lords, demons or other demonic critters, we don't fancy the rushed pace much of Tibia has become along with the community.

Keep valuables valuable
In ShadeCores it's harder to obtain "good" equipment, which will turn lower level equipment into the new good equipment.

Line of sight system
In ShadeCores we use the same line-of-sight system as in CipSoft's.
You may notice when you're playing that sometimes you can throw things in a way you can't do in most OT's.
And you' may also notice that sometimes, you cannot throw things in same way as in most OT's.

Poison storm
Almost every OT either has ticking poison damage from around 50 counting down until 0, while others have an instant damage followed by poison or some other mixtures.
While in reality, damage of the poison storm is decided by level and magic level, from the first tick of damage, it decreases with a few % until it reaches 0.
Read more at: FAQ -Poison storm.

Traps functionality
Traps does a static amount of damage. 30 to be exact, it's always 30.
However, traps cause a physical damage that listen to the creatures armor.
It means that the damage can and will be reduced by any armor the creature may have.

World light & watches
In ShadeCores, time and world light works exactly like it did in CipSoft's back in the day.

Anti-Cheat system
We have a very advanced and automatic anti-cheat system that detects all kind of cheats rather quickly, be it bot, macro, tasker or others.

A lot of servers has basically lied about that they're anti-bot, most of players have been in "anti-bot" servers that's been exploding with cheats and nobody gets punished, which is why most with good reason wont trust whenever someone says they're "antibot".
But after almost a year, we've verified for a lot of people that we're not bullshitting you, we're legit, we have a system that works and a lot of people have tested it and found themselves shocked when their "secret cheat" got caught even though nobody was nearby them.

Additionally to the anti-cheat, ShadeCores does not allow multi-clienting
Multi-Clienting will be treated as a cheat and lead to a deletion.
To make sure nobody accidentally use multi-client without knowing the rules, we've made so that it's not possible to start more than one instance of the client.
If you try to start a new client while already having one open, you will face this little message.
