Private Servers Up And Running Edition

Greetings anons, much progress has been made on the Asheron's Call server emulators. There are several major projects in development based on Pea's PhatAC public release: GamesDeadLol (GDL), GDL Enhanced (GDLE), and Dereth Classic. There is another separate project called Asheron's Call Emulator (ACE) that also made huge improvements when GDL was released. The goal of GDLE is to reach feature parity with the last patch of retail Asheron's Call: Throne of Destiny expansion pack. There is a long way to go, but the game is very much in a playable state now with full combat, quests, most NPCs and dungeons.

Today I'm posting about the game in general along with two servers running GLDE; one no-PvP named Reefcull, and the other PvP-only named Hightide. The GDLE website has everything an anon needs to get up and running to play on either of these two servers as well as the source code and objects to start their own server. At the link below you'll find the Asheron's Call installer, the last patches to the "cell data" and the client, as well as the Decal plugin injector and Thwargle client launcher. There are detailed instructions how install everything so come on over and join us today (playing helps development)!

https://www.gdleac.com/get-started

-Decal is *not* required, but makes things nicer

-Thwargle Launcher also *not* required unless you want Decal plugins

-Thwargle Launcher includes the links to servers, and can login/manage multiple accounts

Explain. There seems to little (no) information on how to connect otherwise.

i find it weird that it still says "early access" when the beta was over around march and the game went into full release then.

Well, I logged back by linking my old steam account to my pre-Alpha account from back when there was a thread about it and we played.

I had no idea what the fuck was going on around my original character, so I made the most generic human I could (no face models, and no blond hair, wtf), and the early game actually makes sense now.

Pretty gud.

you logged in now without buying the game?

although these camera controls need tons of work

Anonymous 07/09/18 (Mon) 16:20:40 f17176 No.15129221

Nah, I had some steam wallet balance left over from selling off some TF2 items last year that I never spent. Figured since this is the first time I've logged into Steam since about November, that it was a good use of the balance.

fair enough, can you get to the main city yet?

Anonymous 07/09/18 (Mon) 16:23:30 f17176 No.15129231

>>15129227

I don't know where that is. I'm on a rocky island trying not to get killed by the camera controls + spiders. Also, I'm supposed to be working now, so I've played like 10 minutes to confirm it all works on my Linux workstation fine.

Anonymous 07/09/18 (Mon) 16:36:05 ec74e8 No.15129280

>>15129231

oh, the initial island. yeah you go through the hidden cave and come out in south serbule, then you can go north to serbule, and even further north to Estibule.

The main city im talking about is supposed to be Statehelm or something like that, its the city that was designed to be the "main hub" of the game but wasn't present yet in the beta during Q1 2018, so i don't know where it is either.

another thing i dont like about the game is how little dying affects you. you can literally barge head first into any dungeon and if you die the worst that happens is that you get sent back to the entrance (and maybe gain some Death Experience because dying is a skill apparently). no exp loss, no dropped items, nothing bad ever happens to you. its such a carebear MMO, and i feel like thats a big flaw that they put in there purposefully because they wanted the nu-generation to buy the game and god forbid these numales and fat lesbians have to suffer some penalties for playing poorly. The only times you get penalized for dying is when you die to a boss, because they put a curse on you that cannot be removed until you defeat the boss legitimately, with or without a party. Now, the cost of that design philosophy is that there's literally no reason to cooperate with other players. regular enemies don't pose a threat unless you go to areas that are way over your head, and even then a "pro" can carry you solo through dungeons.

You can make a shortcut to acclient.exe with the hostname, port, and user/pass as command-line options.

If you still didn't figure it out here's an example shortcut command-line for Hightide:

"C:\Turbine\Asheron's Call\acclient.exe" -h hightide.damnserver.com -p 9000 -a username:password -rodat off
