|
|
|
|
If you received this file as a part of a packaged or bundled build:
|
|
|
|
L2J only supports L2J software obtained directly from L2J sources.
|
|
|
|
What this means is, if you obtained L2J from a source other than our SVN or nightly distribution,
|
|
you need to get support from where you got the files.
|
|
We are unable to provide any technical assistance for unsupported software packages.
|
|
The software may have viruses, cause security problems,
|
|
or even send your personal information to remote servers without your express consent.
|
|
We cannot recommend the use of any of these packages on a server.
|
|
|
|
WARNING: L2J Server is not a plug and play type of server.
|
|
To setup the server and to run it successfully you need to do a lot of reading.
|
|
If reading and learning are not something you like to do,
|
|
Stop now.

I. OVERVIEW
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
L2J is an Alternative Lineage 2 Game Server written in pure Java for
|
|
best compatibility. L2J gives you the possibility to legally host a game
|
|
server for this popular Korean MMO created by NCSoft. It is still
|
|
unfinished and many features are missing, but L2J Dev team is working
|
|
hard on implementing them. L2J Server is distributed under the terms
|
|
of GNU/GPL in a hope that open source model is the best for
|
|
developing quality software giving everyone a possibility to
|
|
participate on development by submitting the code.

|
|
|
|
====================
|
|
III. REQUIREMENTS
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
OS:
|
|
Any OS having Java JDK 1.8 installed and properly configured!
|
|
We recommend using SUN JDK available at java.sun.com
|
|
|
|
Hardware:
|
|
Decent CPU & RAM
|
|
|
|
Software:
|
|
Java JDK 1.8
|
|
MySql
|
|
Datapack
|
|
|
|
We recommend:
|
|
That you do not play and host the server from the same computer.
|
|
Have a good Internet connection - dial up just won't cut it.
|
|
Many low cost hosting options are available.
|
|
|
|
====================
|
|
IV. FIRST STARTUP
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
Before you can start up the server it is extremely important to read
|
|
and get to know the wiki sites.
|
|
They contain all the info you need to setup and run a L2J Server.
|
|
|
|
L2J Server wiki: Server Guides, How-to's, bugtracker:
|
|
https://www.l2jserver.com/trac/wiki
|
|
|
|
L2J-Datapack wiki: Datapack Guides, How-to's, bugtracker:
|
|
http://www.l2jdp.com/trac/wiki
|
|
|
|
This Server distribution does not contain any spawn/drop data or any world
|
|
content. (Datapack)
|
|
|
|
L2J Server has also a possibility to change exp/sp/drop rates relative
|
|
to data in spawnlist/droplist files. To do that, just change the rates
|
|
you need in server.properties file found in config folder.
|
|
|
|
You should also configure your IP address in server.properties.
|
|
|
|
Server uses ports 2106 (LoginServer) and 7777 (GameServer) by
|
|
default. If your server runs behind NAT or firewall you will need to
|
|
open and/or forward these ports.
|
|
|
|
|
|
====================
|
|
V. ADMIN/GM's GUIDE
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
To make someone an admin you need to edit the l2j database.
|
|
|
|
For accounts take a look into the 'accounts' table(loginserver database).
|
|
Change the value of the 'accessLevel' column to one of the following:
|
|
- < 0: banned account
|
|
- 0: user account
|
|
- > 0: admin/gm account (bypass max player limit)
|
|
|
|
For characters take a look into the 'characters' table(gameserver database).
|
|
Change the value of the 'accessLevel' column to one of the access levels
|
|
described in the 'game/config/accessLevels.xml' table.
|
|
|
|
To adjust the allowed admin commands for an access level take a look into
|
|
'game/config/adminCommands.xml'.
|
|
|
|
More info can be found in the community wiki.
|
|
|
|
Admin commands implemented:
|
|
(Please see https://l2jserver.com/trac/wiki/GmCommands for more complete list.)
|
|
//admin = main GM interface
|
|
//gmchat = will send a message to all online GMs
|
|
//invul = makes your character untouchable
|
|
|

VI. PLAYER's GUIDE
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
CLIENT COMPATIBILITY
|
|
Our server is dependent on the official release of the North American lineage2 live client.
|
|
http://www.lineage2.com
|
|
All help and support will only be for the official client.
|
|
Any clients obtained elsewhere, must obtain support from where it was obtained.
|
|
|
|
====================
|
|
VI. UPDATING
|
|
====================
|
|
It may arrive that you want to update your server to new version while
|
|
keeping old accounts. There are few steps you HAVE TO do in order to
|
|
keep the data accurate.
|
|
|
|
- You should ALWAYS look at timelines before updating, sometimes a file
|
|
format may change, so you will need to edit data manually to fit with
|
|
new format.
|
|
- You should ALWAYS Backup all MySql data.
|
|
- You should ALWAYS Backup all Server and Datapack files.
|
|
- back up all .properties files (don't forget to check if new server use same
|
|
format for those files)
|
|
- download & unzip new server code to the Server directory
|
|
- download & unzip new datapack code to the Server directory
|
|
- edit and run update in the tools folder
|
|
- run newly installed server & enjoy ;)
|
|
|
|
|
|
====================
|
|
VIII. TROUBLESHOOTING
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
PROBLEM

|
- Message similar to "java is not recognized as internal command",
|
|
"java not found" or "unknown command: java" appears.
|
|
SOLUTION
|
|
- Install java, or, if java is already installed just add your java
|
|
binary directory to system PATH setting. If you don't know how to do
|
|
that, than DO NOT bother running your own server please.
|
|
|
|
PROBLEM
|
|
- I can log in but ping is 9999s and I can't get past Server Select.
|
|

|
|
outside. (or find server with admin that knows how to do it)
|
|
|

Please note that L2J Devs can't help players with connecting issues or
|
|
anything related to playing on private servers. If you can't connect,
|
|
you should contact your server GM's. We can solve only L2J server
|
|
~software~ related issues. We don't have any backdoors or anything
|
|
that would enable us GM accounts on every server using L2J, so there's
|
|
no point in coming to our channel if you need items/adena/whatever
|
|
ingame.

X. CONTRIBUTING
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
Anyone who wants to contribute to the project is encouraged to do so. Java
|
|
programming skills are not always required as L2J needs much more than
|
|
java code.
|
|
|
|
If you created any source code that may be helpful please use the User Contributions
|
|
section on our forums. If you contributed good stuff that will be
|
|
accepted, you might be invited to join L2J Dev Team.
|
|
|
|
People willing to hang on chat and respond to user questions are also
|
|
ALWAYS welcome ;)
|
|
|
|

====================
|
|
XI. BUG REPORTING
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
Bugs can be reported on our wiki site.
|
|
http://l2jserver.com/trac/newticket
|
|
Basic rules for reporting are:
|
|
Please report only one bug/issue per ticket!!
|
|
You must include the revision (changeset) number when reporting a bug!
|
|
"The latest" does not mean anything when 5 more updates have been done since you set up the server.
|
|
If you are not sure if it should be reported here, make a post about it in the L2J forum.
|
|
|
|
Players should ALWAYS consult bugs with their Admin/GM's and have them report it
|
|
on our wiki site. Some bugs may be caused by bad datapack, server
|
|
installation or modifications server owner has made. We can't help you
|
|
in that case.
|
|
|
|
Please use the datapacks bugtracker for reporting datapack bugs.
|
|
Please do NOT report bugs related to unofficial add-ons to L2J. L2J
|
|
bugtracker is NOT a place to fix that. Contact the person who made
|
|
modification instead.
