Metin2 Beta and some differences compared to the early Release

[shadowofthelove 18]

As you know the Oldest Metin2 Client was just found and we are studying it!

A lot of old content was found and persoanlly I am more than happy to enconter this goldmine!

In case you haven't seen it already please watch this ancient metin2 trailer:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDCJr9g3mLk

Let's start with the first thing that actually caught our attention is the level1 armour

 

The blue gem is the metin2 beta texture version, there's other texture changes but that was the first element that caught my attention

Euphoria attack right after seeing that btw

You could only have 3 characters, this is the character select:

The skill window was present day alchemy pattern!

Warrior and Ninja had 4 skills while Sura and Shaman had 5 skills:

the first metin2 dungeon (field dungeon map from the 2004 metin2 trailer) , had a post screen informations window

The confirm button is cutom design please imagine the default metin2 button there
you might ask , which hidden places? these ones : 

A skills image we have 2 that might be new for you :
 

 

On the 1st row 2nd column its our present day effect to know which fish you get next

And on the last row we have the fishing hook skill image , basically like the mining skill, you used to use fishing books not to temporary but permanently increase your fishing success rate

You could teleport to your friends:

And probably the most valuable finding is the 2004 trailer guild buildings that used to give bonuses, have levels, be upgradeable and attacked by monsters (the logic is still in the server and now with the assets whoever pleases can recreate the 2004 trailer 1:1)



 

There's way more interesting findings but the post is already too long, I haven't wrote about the Market Search system (market.py in files different from auction)
No monkey dungeon, only level 6 demon tower, the fact that it had no level 30 weapons (full moon sword) etc...

I will not spam download links since thers a bunch available if any of you want the installer my mate @ Exynox updated his client collection

Nah if u look in the moderns clients the texture is the same as the one u showed

BUT if u look in the first client (2004 one) u can find the OG devil tower first stage ! 

Thank's for this gold mine !

The timer in the video (1:00) is present in the 2004 clients as TimeAttackClock but it was removed in the 2005 client(same as DungeonResult)

The hand is there also 

Idk why but in the 2005 beta client u have plenty of texture for hairs and a new one for the warrior but the GR2 are missing or they were attached to the armor originally ?

After watching this trailer for like 20 times, i just noticed that spider dungeon is really different, they used the seatou dungeon models with spider dungeon textures, maybe we can found it in the beta clients ?

El de orada. 

Bilmiyorum neden ama 2005 beta istemcisinde saçlar için bolca doku ve savaşçı için yeni bir doku var, ancak GR2 dokuları eksik veya orijinal olarak zırha mı eklenmişlerdi? 

 

Bu fragmanı yaklaşık 20 kez izledikten sonra, örümcek zindanının gerçekten farklı olduğunu fark ettim; Seatou zindanının modellerini örümcek zindanının dokularıyla kullanmışlar, belki beta istemcilerinde bulabiliriz?

This must be what you're talking about.

If u rewatch the trailer at 1:07, u will see the spider dungeon room without column in the middle. it look like watery cavern but smaller.
