# 1.0 What is L2Homage
L2Homage is a modding tool meant to make modding L2 OFF files easier. It doesn't do anything you can't do on your own, by editing a handful files.
L2H is an extensive editing tool for both client and server files for Lineage 2 Epilogue.
While still in development, the intention of this project is to provide users with a tool that’s capable of repurposing most of existing ingame content.
This will allow users to rethink and reshape the world of Lineage 2, providing the hordes of burnt out players with new, exciting content, without having to spend hours learning how to manipulate the data structure.
The hope is to see a bunch of unique, new game worlds appear, instead of relaunches of the same L2 experience we’ve all been through too many times to count.
# 2.0 Current Features
- Add, delete or modify weapons
- Add, delete or modify armors
- Add, delete or modify etc items
- Add, delete or modify sets
- Add, delete or modify spawn zones
- Add, delete or modify npc spawns and parameters
- Export server and client files simultaneously, ready for use immediately
# 3.0 Installation
1. Install L2OFF epilogue server. That can be found on this forum.
2. Grab the L2OFF epilogue script files and geodata (one working source is from the free advext bundle).
3. Install Lineage 2 Epilogue.
4. Download and unpack L2Homage.
5. Copy and paste the listed client .dat files in Data/encrypted client files (List will expand as L2H is updated). Client files can be found in your L2 Epilogue System folder.
6. Copy and paste the listed server .txt files in Data/server (List will expand as L2H is updated). Server files can be found in the Script folder of your server installation.
7. Download and place all 900x900 Radar map images in the Worldmap folder. They can be downloaded from here: http://demev.coderx.ru/maps_jpg/900_900/ or by using Rootware's script parser found here: https://maxcheaters.com/topic/224682-l2off-script-data-parser/. I also contacted @sepultribe, asking if he could upload them to his generous megashare.
# 4.0 Usage
# 4.1 Initializing
1. Open L2Homage.exe
2. Click Load All
3. Agree to decrypt
4. Wait till loading completes # 4.2 Adding weapon, armor, sets, etcs or npcs
1. Find the row of the target you'd like to use as a template
2. Click on any cell in the row
3. Click the "Clone" button in the top
4. Entire row is now cloned, resulting in a new item
5. Edit any variables you want in the new row # 4.3 Adding droplists
1. Click on the droplists tab
2. There are 6 types of droplists. - Normal
List of items. Between 0 and all of the items will drop at once. - Spoil
List of items. Between 0 and all of the items will drop at once.
- Multi
List of MultiParts. Between 0 and all of the connected MultiPart droplists will trigger.
Each MultiPart droplist has a chance to trigger on NPC death.
Writing in an empty cell next to the last MultiPart entry, will create a new multipart droplist with that name, connecting it immediately.
- MultiPart
List of items. Each item has a probability to be chosen when MultiPart is triggered.
MultiPart droplists only drop 1 of the items listed. The items probabilities in a MultiPart droplist therefore has to equal 100%.
- Extra
Works like a second Multi droplist. This contains ExtraParts.
- ExtraPart
Works like MultiPart. This is where all the herbs are listed.
3. Find the row of the droplist you'd like to clone
4. Click on any cell in the row
5. Click "Clone" button in the top
6. Go to NPC tab, and edit the target droplist of any NPCs that will use your new droplist # 4.4 Adding Spawns
# Spawns are currently limited in functionality. Adding bosses or raid spawns with this method, will probably not work. This will be implemented when L2H starts parsing AI.
# Any 'regular' enemies or npcs should still work completely
1. Select the map you'd like to add spawns to
2. Select the spawn area you'd like to add NPCs to
3. If a map has multiple layers, and the spawn area drawn on the map doesn't seem to fit, click on any of the "Map 0-6" buttons below the map image. You should be able to find the layer that fits
4. Either use the selected spawn area (if it already has an npc_ex_maker attached), or better yet, click "Clone Area" to create a guaranteed functional copy of the spawn area
5. Edit any properties of the spawn area you'd like in the top right corner
6. Click on any NPC in the NPCs list and edit NPC properties in the bottom right corner
7. You can add new NPCs by clicking the "Add Npc" button
8. You can remove existing NPCs by clicking the "Remove Npc" button
# 5.0 FAQs
# How much will it cost?
L2H will be free, and eventually completely open source. This is not a project created for monetary gain, it’s solely meant to revitalize the stagnating server scene.
If you have paid for this product, someone is tricking you. # 5.1 Which L2 version does it use and why?
L2H is meant to be free, so the server files should be as well.
The most complete, freely available L2OFF files are the Gracia Final/epilogues files, and with Eressea’s extender, it feels nearly bug free.
It’s a very strong, free base to build this project on. This tool would likely follow Eressea's extender.
If she decides to upgrade L2 version, L2H would most likely follow. # 5.2 When will it be done?
This is a side project with a single developer attached.
It won’t be completed fast, but each milestone will be made available to the public, once tested and functional.
The development will be modular, with each version providing new options. If you're interested in helping out, let me know. # 5.3 Which language is L2H developed in?
C# # 5.4 How does L2H work?
Decrypted Lineage 2 client files and server script files are structured in a very specific way, one that can be parsed and edited.
When developers add or remove content to the L2OFF platform, they do this by hand. This often requires editing more files to add a single item.
For instance, if you were to add a single weapon, you would have to edit weapongrp(client), itemname-e(client), itemdata(server) and item_pch(server).
L2H does this for you with one input. There are a LOT of variables for items, most of which aren't relevant to the modder.
To give an example, if L2H exposed all variables for armors, there would be well over 700 columns of data to fill out, most of which just aren't relevant.
It's also very easy to mess up. One wrong space, and your server won't run, or your item won't work. Instead of adding new items from scratch, modders choose an item to use as a template.
When users clone the templated item, L2H copies all relevant information, and exposes variables that are interesting to edit in an easily accessible grid view.
When you're done editing, click export all to get the correctly formatted files.
L2H automatically decrypts, disassembles, encrypts and assembles any edited files, by using L2Miko's fileedit.
You can then copy the exported files directly into the server and client. # 5.5 Can I add custom models and animations?
If you want to add custom models, you will have to do that the old fashioned way.
There is a lot more to adding new models to the game, compared to repurposing it.
Completely new content like that, however cool it may be, is not the goal of L2H.
That being said, once you’ve added the new content, you can use L2H to edit or copy it. # 5.6 Why are you not planning to develop X?
If you have a feature request or suggestion, feel free to message me.
The planned features are those that are absolutely possible to deliver.
The limits of L2H is well known, and there won’t be an attempt to include features beyond those.
If your suggestion falls within the possibilities of L2H, it will most likely get added to the list. # 5.7 When will the next version be available?
When it’s ready. This is an ongoing project, and while updates may be far apart, it’ll be finished one day.
The project uses no copyrighted info. It's all relying on reverse engineering the data structure.
It only reads the data you feed it. Development will continue until all values available for change have been exposed.
If I'm doing anything I shouldn't, please let me know. I have no intention of breaking the law. # 5.8 Will you be running a server?
No. That is not my motivation. I look forward to playing on yours though. # 5.9 Will it work for other versions of Lineage 2?
That’s not the focus of this project, so that’s not certain.
It will work with any version of Lineage 2 that uses the exact same data structure as Epilogue.
Should a newer version of L2OFF be made available, there’s a slim chance L2H will be updated to fit that data structure. # 5.10 Will it mess up my files?
Remember to keep backups. There can be bugs. # 5.11 Can I delete content?
You can only delete content you’ve created yourself.
If you start removing data from the client and the server, you’ll most likely run into issues.
If you delete an item that exists in the game world, you might run into issues as well.
It’s better to disable these from being acquired, nerf them to the ground or possibly remove them from players’ inventories through the database. # 5.12 What does the column 'X' mean?
As L2H has progressed, most relevant variables have been exposed for editing. Each column represents one variable, most of which are self-explanatory.
The variables that I'm unsure of, have been exposed, just in case.
If you know what a variable does, and it's not self-explanatory, and it doesn't have a tooltop when hovering your mouse over it, please let me know. # 5.13 How can I help?
Report bugs, write guides and tutorials for L2H usage, share your custom created content, help people setup a server.
I would appreciate if someone took the time to describe how to get a good server and test environment setup for faster development.
I've described how to create content in this post, but someone who took the time to go through it in more detail, could help a lot of people. # 5.14 How can I share custom content I've created?
When you export your content, it can be found in the Export folder. Any custom content you create, will be found at the end of each file.
Either share it all, or find the data you'd like to share specifically. You'll need a file editor to grab any specific data you've created for client files. # 5.15 Something went wrong, what do I do?
Try to figure out which entry is causing an issue. If you can't figure it out, you'll either need to load a backup, or start over.
Starting over means deleting everything inside the data/L2H folder, and re-importing all relevant client/server files.
Also, please report what went wrong, so we can try to fix it.
Please be aware of your input. If you start entering commas and brackets everywhere, the data will most likely break. Just be cautious. # 6.0 Roadmap
