The Python tool was actually made specifically for users who are working with Lucera2, where the majority don’t have access to the source code or the ability to modify .jar files directly. That’s exactly why this external solution was developed, to allow users to adjust drop settings like RateDrop, RateDropItems, etc... without needing to touch the core or decompile anything, It offers flexibility for those who want to tweak things without diving into Java or editing the server core itself. Of course, your idea is better suited for users who do have access to the core and can implement such logic inside the XML reading layer, but in this case the goal was to keep it accessible and easy for non-developers.

Ah, ah, ah " θεέ μου βοήθησε με " yet another person who seems obsessed with this. When some people read a post that actually has a beginning, a middle, and an end, it's like a shock to them. "How can this person write so well? He must be using AI." Seems like a lot of you out there think the same way. As for what you said, I honestly didn’t understand how any of it relates to the post. I didn’t take anyone’s side, nor did I say who’s right or wrong. I don’t want to get into that whole mindset of dividing people into sides. Your side is pretty clear though. You seem coordinated and consistent. The other side hasn’t really shown up yet, maybe because it’s just one lone wolf. But that doesn’t mean he’s wrong. Anyway, I figured I’d write something to maybe shake things up a bit, but it looks like concrete doesn’t move easily. Maybe it takes a real earthquake. That’s all from me on this topic. Take care and good luck with whatever you're doing. No matter what you write, I won’t be replying to you or your little crew. -
Since I write everything in the guide file. Windows: Download Python from the official website: Download Python. During installation, make sure to check the option "Add Python to PATH". >>>How? just check it in google.com Complete the installation. There is a file called guide there I have all the details...

I’m not personally involved, but after observing recent activity on the forum, it's clear that things have become highly polarized, not because of technical issues, but due to personal disputes, insults, and public drama. It's unfortunate to see that instead of healthy knowledge sharing, discussions are turning into accusations, mockery, and downvote abuse. Everyone is free to contribute, disagree, or critique, but when respect is lost, the community itself loses its purpose. Whether someone shares files for free, sells services, or just helps others, their contribution should be judged based on quality, not personal grudges or "factions." It would be great to see the forum return to its original purpose: development, collaboration, and mutual respect. Those who truly care about the community should put personal conflicts aside and focus on the actual content, that’s where the real value is. -
Look at that I'm the first one to share something in this part of the forum. Free Buffer System for the Lucera2 Classic Client. This buffer was originally based on someone else's work, but has undergone many modifications and improvements to support all the main buffer pages, and others, including full profile support for dimensions and how they are formatted. This is just a small gift to the Lucera2 community. If you have any questions or issues, don't hesitate to contact us here. The .htm files are adapted for custom dimensions.

WTS PTS Vanganth - Classic Interlude P110
MetaMan replied to ZOUMHS's topic in Marketplace [L2Packs & Files]
If you genuinely fail to understand the points made, then unfortunately I cannot explain them any simpler, even my 10 year old son could grasp what was clearly stated. This is not about ChatGPT logic. It's basic intellectual property reality. You claim this is “just a logo” and “has nothing to do with Lineage 2,” while at the same time admitting it’s related to L2. You can't have it both ways. Let’s be clear once again: The logo was made for a Lineage 2 private server. That means the base project is already unauthorized and infringing. You cannot create a logo for an infringing project and then claim enforceable legal rights over it, especially not in a commercial context or when no copyright registration exists. Yes, platforms like Facebook may act on DMCA style reports without verifying legal depth. But that doesn't magically make the claim legally valid. If you're upset that your logo was used without credit or permission, say so plainly. That’s understandable. But don’t turn it into a pseudo legal threat over a project that itself can't legally exist in the first place. This conversation is now closed. -
WTS PTS Vanganth - Classic Interlude P110
MetaMan replied to ZOUMHS's topic in Marketplace [L2Packs & Files]
It is quite ironic to see threats of intellectual property infringement regarding a logo designed specifically for a private Lineage 2 server, considering that private servers, by their very nature, constitute unauthorized use of NCSoft’s copyrighted material. To clarify the legal reality: The Lineage 2 name, client, server files, and all related visual elements are protected intellectual property of NCSoft. No private server operates under legal license or authorization from NCSoft. Therefore, any assertion of copyright ownership over a logo created for a project that is itself a copyright infringement is fundamentally invalid. As for the logo in question: Unless the logo has been officially registered with the appropriate intellectual property office. Unless it is being used commercially or by a registered business entity. then claims of copyright violation are legally unsupported and unenforceable. Furthermore, the suggestion that a designer working on an unauthorized or illegal project "such as a private server" retains enforceable rights over that design demonstrates a clear misunderstanding of how intellectual property law works. In any case, the logo in question, if it was ever used, has already been removed. However, issuing legal threats over assets tied to a fundamentally infringing project is not only baseless, but also absurd. No further communication will be entertained unless the following can be provided: Verified copyright registration documents. Evidence that the logo does not include or derive from NCSoft’s protected IP, and Proof that it is being used in a legal and officially authorized context. -
Recently, I took on a project for a company. The people there – polite, trusting (or in other words, completely unsuspecting) – told me the job had to be delivered within 3 weeks. I agreed, naturally – with my signature professional attitude, something like “yeah, sure, it’ll get done, don’t worry!” Now, deep down, I knew full well that in 3 weeks, I’d be lucky to have written the title of the project. But I decided to play it cool. Why? Well, because I was in full anti-professional mode, and I was already planning the excuses I’d use when the time came: – “Guys, I caught covid…” – “Something tragic happened in my family…” – “A team member quit and everything fell on me…” You know, classic Balkan drama. Why should only others use them? So, 3 weeks go by. I’ve managed to do about 40% of the work (which I personally consider a small miracle), and the people in charge come to me and say: – “Since you didn’t deliver on time, we’d like the €450 advance payment back.” And I, with Oscar-level seriousness, respond: – “I’m sorry, but I’ve already completed 40% of the work. I can’t return the money.” They looked at me, smiled, and said the unforgettable line: “It’s not your fault… we’re the idiots for trusting you.” And at that moment, I didn’t feel offended. I didn’t feel guilty. I felt… validated. Not professionally. But Balkan-style. Conclusion: Consistency, professional responsibility, and respect for agreements... are fundamental values. Nowadays? Rare. Like an uncut diamond... that someone tossed in the trash because they thought it was just a weird-looking rock. Sure, you can fool people once, twice, maybe even three times… and get away with it. But eventually, even the most well-meaning fool out there… will wake up. And when they do, they'll replace you with someone else. Someone more reliable. More professional. Or at least… someone who’s better at coming up with excuses.

Today, the world seems to have lost all sense of logic. As if, in an instant, millions of years of human cognitive evolution have been erased. People's words and actions no longer reflect thought, judgment, or awareness. I don’t know how our society ended up like this, but somehow, almost everyone appears to have chosen the blue pill over the red one. Tragic.

Thank you for sharing the work you have done with us. It doesn't matter how each person characterizes it... what matters is that you shared it and kept your word.

Let's not complicate matters or point fingers at one another. You mentioned that you would publish the files, yet no publication has materialized so far. Could it be that all of this was merely a ploy to draw attention to yourselves, and that those accusing you might actually have a valid point? -

Oh my God, help me. I didn’t say that you have intellectual property rights, nor did I say anyone else does, nor that you’re claiming them. I guess I can’t communicate with either of you. I’m leaving, good luck. -

Let's clear something up: I have no problem with anyone, not with you, not with the person who wants to publish the files, and not with the moderators. Let's all understand this once and for all. I don’t know which century you live in, but there are no intellectual property rights in the field we are in. We’re not companies creating something and validating it with the appropriate authorities to have intellectual property rights. Let’s be serious here. I don’t care at all if I code something and sell it, and I don’t care what my buyer does. For the simple reason that the space we are in is a free market. I can’t make it any clearer for you to understand. If, at your age, you can’t realize that all this talk about the rights of programmers doesn’t apply, and you want to defend it in some way, I think you’re on a different planet. I hope you won’t make me a target tonight. My opinion on such matters is clear: No one owes intellectual property rights to anyone. Everything is bought and sold without the intellectual property rights of programmers or anyone else. -

There’s no need to ask for permission from anyone. The world is a free market. Everyone buys what they want, sells what they want, and shares what they want for free. No permission is needed for this. If the administrator of this site doesn’t want it, it will show over time. If you want to share the files, do it, and if you get banned, everyone will see it and judge. And don’t forget, there are other forums on the internet in case you get banned from this particular site. There’s no need to go completely crazy. We are all intelligent enough at our age to understand the world around us. I don’t understand what the administrator’s interest is with this response. I believe it was a wrong thought, and that’s all. That’s what I want to believe. I say this because something similar happened to me in the past, and in the end, the scammer wasn’t punished by the platform. I didn’t insist on a refund because the amount lost was about 70€, which for me is a small amount, but it stuck with me that the scammer wasn’t punished and is still here on the forum, posting and continuing to sell his L2 Custom UPDATER - LAUNCHER.
