Classic Conquer Online - Pure 5017 Delight!

CCO is finally here and ready to bring you back to the 'golden days' of conquer!

This is a project I've been involved with (on the coding side) for the past month or so and I'm quite excited to see them finally online and ready for players to join up.

What is CCO?

Classic Conquer Online is a path 5017 server aiming to provide an accurate 'TQ' style emulation of conquer. It will not be limited to being exactly the same as TQ but it WILL be far more accurate than most other servers you might come across.

All 5017 features should now be working properly as intended but as with all servers, bug reports are appreciated (can use the /report command or report through website).

Features/Rates??

As mentioned, all 5017 features should be functioning properly. This includes things such as (but not limited to)

-Max level 130
-Max + 9
-Max Reborn 1
-Dice king
-Player housing + furniture
-Player shops
-Dis city
-Hourly PVP events
-Full Monster Exterminator quest (including jar!)
-Guilds/Guild war (runs Friday-Saturday)

Rates are medium to low. If you dedicate yourself to hunting you will find plenty of items but the rates are such that hunting is actually required (you shouldn't expect to have 'great gear' just from standard leveling)

Why play CCO over *insert server here*

CCO is here to stay. While I'm not the direct admin of the server, I've been working with him doing the programming side of things for over a month. It's quite rare to see someone so focused on providing a quality play experience that they will take the time to do it right rather than just saying 'screw it, lets launch now'.

That dedication is a clear indicator to anyone considering playing that your progress will be secure for a long time to come. There are no rollbacks or loss of data, the server is not going to be shutting down and you can feel confident that the time you put into your characters will be highly rewarded.

This is an accurate emulation of conquer as it existed in path 5017. If you want that classic feel and (relatively) classic client then there's no contest when compared against most other 'classic' servers on the market.

PS: As a bonus, the website contains a TON of useful tracking information including live feed of server events, player ratings/achievements and more!

HOW TO PLAY!?

Official Website: [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]

You can register and download the client from there. Please feel free to post about your experience as we're constantly trying to track down any final bugs and create new content to last for years to come.

Had a lot of new people joining in and I'm really happy with the progress the server has made. The new years patch is live now so thought I'd go over some of the main new changes and features.

-Players with heaven bless now can claim 1 hour double exp every day!
-Competing in PVP events will now reward you with bonus exp
-Lowered gold drop rates
-Ganoderma/Titan has 100% exp potion droprate now (up from 20%)
-Gano/Titan now sends a server message when it spawned (most ppl didn't know it was there..)
-Added custom monster hunter quests (starting gear, bonus exp and rare items for killing mobs near your level)
-Added PoisonFang quest. Get refined, unique or elite necklaces + rings to use!
-Fixed issues with buffs/effects being reset when equipment was swapped
-Fixed issues with mob ai/screening
-Fixed numerous bugs (minor and major)

Thanks for the comment.

I don't actually have access to the server. The server is currently running in debug mode to track down any final issues.

Likely an exception has been thrown and the server is waiting for someone with access to it to make a fix.

As soon as Vincent or another GM with access to the server is online he will send me a copy of the error, I will make my changes and the server will be back up and ready to play.

Very sorry for the inconvenience and I'll do what I can to try to speed up the process on my end.

Then you would be wrong before everyone else! :pimp:

The server is run by Vincent. I'm simply the programmer for the project.... that being said though I definitely need to get access to the server so I can avoid longer downtimes like this.

This server is great. I've got 90 ping most of the time which is about the best I get on any game. Usually private servers are in the 300-500 range for me but this is smooth and steady.

Free things arent thrown at you but if you hunt you'll find elites/supers/+1's/mets/dbs at a great rate. Not to much but not TQ status either.

Few bugs here and there but completely playable. Looking forward to this server growing and sticking around a while!

Remember to use the /report feature every time to notice something out of place (even if its just something you feel could be 'better'). We want this server to be a huge success and I'll be the first to admit there's still plenty of work for me to do in getting us there :D

Hoping to start into some more events and unique features next week but right now the main priority is of course stability and bug fixes.

Took a quick look at the page source and this is what I found out:

No doctype on the homepage
pages with a doctype use the old xhtml doctype while having html5 elements
responsive menu has the login box
the login box increases the page width (responsive menu)
duplicate jquery loading
inline javascript

As for loading data from php files, did a quick improvement:

You have:

PHP Code:


		
			
setInterval(refresh_events, 30000);     
setTimeout(refresh_events, 100); //For some reason it only populates with a delay.
function refresh_events()
{
    $('#newsfeed_body').load('classes/ServerEvents.php').fadeIn("slow");
}


setInterval(refresh_onlineCount, 30000);     
setTimeout(refresh_onlineCount, 10); 
function refresh_onlineCount()
{
    $('#online_count').load('classes/OnlineCount.php').fadeIn("slow");
}

setInterval(refresh_serverStatus, 30000);     
setTimeout(refresh_serverStatus, 10); 
function refresh_serverStatus()
{
    $('#server_status').load('classes/IsServerOnline.php').fadeIn("slow");
}

What I made out of it:

PHP Code:


		
			
loadData(element, file, timeOut) {
    $(element).load(file).fadeIn("slow");
    setTimeout(loadData(element, file, timeOut), timeOut); 
}

loadData('#newsfeed_body', 'classes/ServerEvents.php', 30000);
loadData('#online_count', 'classes/OnlineCount.php', 30000);
loadData('#server_status', 'classes/IsServerOnline.php', 30000);

Appreciate the feedback.

This is the first time I've had to do anything php/javascript related since first year so there's bound to be plenty of tweaks to make over the coming weeks.

Will be sure to get that all fixed up when I'm finished my current workload.

Primary goal tonight is gonna be writing up a shop.dat management GUI, adding VIP features as well as getting ready for the next client patch. So much to do, so little time :D

As for PHP, I suggest you to look into frameworks though. They are written in OOP and keep things clean and easy. I suggest [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...], [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] and [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...].

Silverstripe may take some time to get used to tho. As for Phalcon, it is very fast but lots of hostings don't support it so you will probably have to host it yourself with it. So best option would be Symfony.

Symfony's components are re-used by lots of other frameworks like Laravel as well.

Totally worth it but yah, need more hours in the day lol.

Looks like he's making changes to the server. Sorry I cannot say much more past that.

I have an auto restart utility built in but we are not using it during this first week or so of testing as we are being VERY careful to catch every bug we can while people are just starting out.

I promise that the frustrations will be worth it and all downtime will be compensated!

PS: Just confirmed with them - security updates are in place and server should be online in the next few minutes.

Any reason why email verification should be taking longer than usual? Been 10 minutes and nothing in my inbox/spam folders.

i didn't get asked for verification?

@pro4never should heavily advertise the server - needs more players!!

E-Mail verification is up to Vincent. I believe right now it's not required.

We're doing what we can :D

I'm programming side of thing wheras Vincent is handling in game moderation, advertisement and basic day to day operations of the server. I just fix up the server ahaha

Server ONLINE

There was a brief interruption to service at 12:15 PM EST due to a network issue. The server remains unaffected.

-REMINDER-

When patch 1001 is launched, all characters will receive a compensation package. This package is our attempt to make up for any lost time or player data during the recent server issues (it's a new server, this is expected but that doesn't mean it's not shitty for players).

We are avoiding giving out compensation until that point because we want to be fair to everyone and ensure the amount we compensate for is accurate.

That's the entire point of the server. A true low rate server where people have to work for gear.

That being said, effective use of in game events makes the rates come out more in the line of 5x TQ rates. We get that this won't be a server for everyone though :)

great server, i must say its nice having a server where VIP/donations can't obtain much more than hunting can!

Asphy×ia

If your aim is a classic server, this will most closely satisfy your craving. Enjoyable server, requires work, a decently large community in a small amount of time. Nostalgic feeling

pro4never

01/06/2015 04:47

Glad you guys are enjoying so much!

Service Update

Server has been updated with the most recent changes (lots of bug fixes and content changes. Full list should be on website soon)

The site itself is currently down but the login and game servers remain un-effected. The website side of things should be back up within the next hour or so (they are running updates on the server)

PS: Grats to Destra! First to get reborn :D

the 18 online is incorrect. The server was offline at the time.

Our average online count is 30-45 within the first week which I'd say is pretty damn good.

Server Update
There was an issue this morning where the login server was not letting new users get into the game server. This has been corrected and the server is online.

PS: CONGRATZ TO Trademark! Second person to reborn from what I've seen. Amazing to see our players so excited about this server.

Recommend this server if u want to feel retail old days again. Ape city PK, Ape city/BI plvling. Those days were great, and this server only been online for about a week. That's good for any server. All the features are retail related like offline TG and etc.. not many server have those anymore. Pvp is cool, 1v1 fb/ss skill based.

Ok guys at this point most of the main issues should be resolved and we're going to be moving our focus more towards content (although any bug reports are most definitely still going to be investigated)

Current Priorities for next content patch (ideally launching Friday evening)

-Sky Pass Quest (many mid level players struggling to upgrade their new super gear. Get them some mets!)
-Blue Mouse Quest (over abundance of normal gems in economy and not enough mets. Perfect fix!)
-Bonus experience and drops for adventure zone (taos need some leveling love)
-WineZone (taos and 120+'s need some love)
-Bomb/FOH/Nightdevil/Dance skillbook drops!
-Bomb Quest. We dont have many 120 players yet so this week's guild war will definitely wanna look into grabbing some bombs to quickly take out the gates!
-Snake Island Quest (mets/db chance for those high level tao/archers!)
-Movable guild conductors. GW winner can place them on any valid map!
-Guild Beast - Need that daily prize for winning GW!
-Daily boss spawn (drops db/expballs/+ stones)
-Weekly PK Tournament (db/super tortoise gem reward)
-Arrow Auto Reload (it's not supported by this client but I'll work on something server side)

Please remember, this is not yet live but is instead stuff we are working on right now. If you have other features or content you feel should be of higher priority, we'd love to hear from you! Our main goal right now is taking the experience our players are already loving and fleshing it out a bit more.

DB rates are quite low right now because we want to push players towards participating in other server content. This will be a long term shift and not something accomplished overnight. In the mean time we plan to slightly increase DB drop rates until these events all go live.

A HUGE thank you to all the players helping to make this server a success. Every day our average online count goes up and up. Currently we're averaging 55-65 throughout the day which is just amazing for only a week online.

Been on the server for little over a week now and am completely stoked. Old school 2nd map ape spawns all there and fought over, guard whoring, met spam, mining... All that old school conquer stuff is there..

Also Pro4 does updates and fixes daily, can't say enough about how awesome it is to have an active programmer maintaining everything.

My ign is Trademark, hit me up and I'll get you to 70 and see about a couple gifts!

Cheers

01/10/2015 04:56

Winezone, Bluemouse, Bomb quest are all live now.

Fixed a relatively minor exploit where players were trading in virtue points for experience faster than intended. I've added a daily limit for VP>Exp trades and reduced the amount of VP gained for powerleveling. We are continuing to monitor the situation and will adjust rates as needed.

Heads up: +1 and +2 stones are added to the rewards for hourly PVP tournaments in addition to he base EXP reward. Grab a sword or blade and jump into combat for these skill based events!

01/14/2015 02:23

Large list of bug fixes went live today. We have more coming throughout the week with daily patches to fix any player issues :)

There's a guide on our site relating to a possible fix but it sounds like you've already done that. Depending on your OS I have a few suggestions.

#1: Compatibility mode. Try running the game under windows xp mode if possible
#2: Update your graphics drivers. Unlikely to help as it's an old game but it's a generic quick fix
#3: Turn off Aero if enabled. It's stupid but the client realllyy has issues with other transparent objects being on the screen and it can grind things to a halt on some machines

Sorry I cannot offer much more help. I've never had a problem personally and my knowledge of the client is pretty limited.
