You may have a filter on to show only servers with player count greater than 0 or non password servers that are in red.
Turn off the filter, then all servers show up. There are loads so then scroll down to the 3t server.

The spell/feat changes are saved as scripts, anything that is a module related change we have backed up and basically could go from anywhere from 2005 I think I have, to the current EE mod, 2011, until the last mod on the old server, 2024.
I am not sure of too much spell/feat/custom changes that won't convert over to EE and work correctly.
The problem I was having with a EE server was a few bugs, none of the top related stuff, a good way to monitor and keep the server running(Findell I think has a fix for that) and log keeping(it wanted to reset it after the server did).

Only one head drops (it seem to be only a goblin head problem) for a group... ... more feedback will follow Please add the token for more XP and gold... <-- now i read all the stuff, so it is the version of 3t before these changes. But these changes where so amazing ....so please add again Character save item couldn't get bought... and it is a great item if u got kids .....need a quick save and got to log off ....so easy PS: Where were all the backups gone? (no backup no pity) If u need a backup i can tell u ...use a nice tool called restic. Its really fantastic incremental backup tool and it encrypts the backup the easy way

If all the data (vault, db, mod) is still there I can port the current mod to EE without much difficulty. Regarding the assets I'm not sure to get your question right but there is no resource limitation on EE. Also, if we need / want to use custom textures, haks etc, they can be downloaded automatically. that would be great better texture and monster skins like HD art pack (https://threetownsboard.boards.net/thread/1552/gets-high-graphics-pack-update)

Its really fantastic incremental backup tool and it encrypts the backup the easy way Yeah the mod that's loaded is from 2011? It's a very old version, so originally only one head dropped (because most things only have one head, right?) so you'd have to wait around for 10 minutes for a boss respawn for every single person in your party so you could all get a head. Multi-drops for convenience came a lot later. Remember this is just a test server until we find out where we're going with things, so multi-dropping quest items, tokens, some widgets might not be present, this is highly unlikely to be the final version of 3T EE.

Man, we are really old! I was like "2011 is not that long ago, surely we haven't lost that many changes" 13 bloody years ago, WTF? Anyway, yeah, Mogliuth - there'll be many many features missing which is expected as its a test server. You might lose any and all progress you make on this server too so best not to get too attached yet. Hopefully there is nothing serious enough to break the server in EE and we yet to keep it

I had no problem with SSthla heads dropping for a party of 2. I looked at the code and it should work for goblins and bandit boss too. Were you in the same area when the boss got killed ? I'll look at the code again and make tests.

For the Character save item, yes it's on the TODO For now you can use Scry glass, still works the old way.

multiple heads dropped fine for Ssthla, Bandits, and Orcs when we did them in a party of 3. IB though only dropped one, brought back memories going off to run after quests while he respawned

(no backup no pity) If u need a backup i can tell u ...use a nice tool called restic. Its really fantastic incremental backup tool and it encrypts the backup the easy way I have a backup for every mod, I ever did. Which is a lot, and it goes from like 2005 I think it is, it's really old to now, 2024, I would guess a 100 different mods in between those dates. The server side of stuff, no way could I copy 30000 different player vaults with some averaging around say 50 characters each over from London, England and then you got all the DB stuff for those say 100,000 characters. Dacarlo used to back it up and then delete characters that hadn't been used in a year, but he quit doing that around say 2012, probably a nightmare to do.
We could have went with a newer version and we still could, but some players have expressed a desire for a harder server, so I am also wanting feedback on how hard do you really want it. We are also waiting on the server status and then take that information and then decide what route to take in EE. So at this time anything and everything is up in the air. And it looks Findell has done the hard part of getting the DB to work so we have options. So we could convert the last current mod to EE and go from there, or take something in the middle or use this or whatever. As far as the Server Vault of characters of old 3T that is up to Dac to see what he can get off the Hard Drive.

Chree, is a newer mod a possibility, so a "new" 3T, or is that too much work? And a harder mod is fine by me, that's how a lot of us were introduced to 3T back in the day, I remember my first char in 2005, a pally that got massacred daily in pvp by some player griefing the hell out of me, and that's just how it was. Eventually I made a toon that could defend itself and I eventually made it to lvl 11 to get haste boots. Fun times!

I updated and rebooted the server.
-I fixed the number of heads dropping for Goblin Chief and IB Captain. There was a bug, the tag string was used instead of resref blue print string to get the item and create it on the dead body. (It worked for the others since their tag and resref were the same) -Disabled the DM join message -Fixed something for DM (Taroc will know what I'm talking about)
