If you want just to learn and it's not gonna be public server, maybe you should start with leaked C4 files. If you want to have running server ASAP, without bugs and have support for it, buy IL from AdvExt team (they sell two different Interlude extenders, AdvExt and Vanganth). You can probably buy test version limited to 20 players which is quite cheaper.

If you really need player to be online, you can use premium item system but it would require some work...

Stupid bias... this really seems like a nice piece of technology. I don't like the idea of making money through l2 but this is their hard work and seems to be good product (haven't tested so it's just my personal feeling from what I've read about it)

It is, but when someone does something wrong and nobody tells him, he's gonna to do it again

Nothing wrong with him. You ask about l2j in l2off section

I hope so :)

Try if (talker.occupation != talker.subjob0_class) { // is on subclass } else { // is on main class }

That documentation can be used for NASC as well. It's generally bad idea to edit compiled OBJ code, it's much harder to write it in OBJ code and the NASC code is really much easier to understand. Just compare this: handler 4 13 // TALK_SELECTED variable_begin "talker" "myself" "_choiceN" "_code" "_from_choice" variable_end push_event // myself push_const 784 //ShowPage add fetch_i //ShowPage push_event // talker push_const 40 //talker add fetch_i S1. "noquest.htm" push_string S1 func_call 235012165 // func[ShowPage] shift_sp -2 shift_sp -1 handler_end and EventHandler TALK_SELECTED(talker) { ShowPage(talker, "noquest.htm"); } It's obvious that you'll make fewer mistakes in NASC. Also NCsoft wrote all the AI code in NASC (the compiler we're using is done by NCsoft itself). It's the same as if you asked me whether it's better to do something in C++ sources or in compiled EXE file. Both is possible but the latter one is much much harder.

INSERT INTO user_auth (account, password, quiz1, quiz2, answer1, answer2) VALUES ('teste', HashBytes('MD5', 'teste123'), '1', '1', CAST('' AS VARBINARY), CAST('' AS VARBINARY)); INSERT INTO user_account (account, pay_stat, login_flag, warn_flag, block_flag, block_flag2, subscription_flag) VALUES ('teste', 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0);

So you're using old NCsoft hash. You should use at least MD5Simple, just change MD5Simple=0 to MD5Simple=1 and then you can create user account this way: INSERT INTO user_auth (account, password, quiz1, quiz2, answer1, answer2, new_pwd_flag, lastat) VALUES ('mylogin', HashBytes('MD5', 'mypassword'), '1', '1', CAST('' AS VARBINARY), CAST('' AS VARBINARY), 0, NULL); INSERT INTO user_account (account, pay_stat, login_flag, warn_flag, block_flag, block_flag2, subscription_flag) VALUES ('mylogin', 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0);

Whole l2npc.exe is just a huge virtual machine running ai.obj. Txt files (or ai.obj) = compiled AI NASC files = AI sources There are few "decompilers" that can convert compiled AI back to source (usually with few errors that must be fixed manually) If you really want to do anything bigger with AI, you should start from sources. Editing ai.obj code is pain in the ass and also it usually prevents "decompilation" (decompilers don't use any real heuristic to analyze the code, they just know some patterns and know how to convert them back to NASC code, so if you do some manual changes in obj, decompiler probably won't be able to decompile it)

I still think you're using one hash when creating account and different hash when you try to login. Once again, how did you create that user account? Can you show me the SQL commands you used and how are variables MD5Simple and MD5Password set in hauthd.ini?

Hi everyone, just in case it happens to you (it's probably rare bug): Today, regular airship between Gracia and Gludio has stuck on my server. I'll try to find some real fix for it in my ext but in case you encounter this bug and don't want to restart whole server, this command should help (or at least helped me): //aship regular 0 Cheers :)

hauth.ini? how did you create the account in database?

So the problem is with auth server? Which auth do you use? What kind of password hashes do you use (NCsoft, SimpleMD5 or MD5 with salt)? How did you create the account in database?

I have a python script that joins nasc files into one big nasc file, runs compiler on it and then splits it again to individual classes and generates classes.txt file http://download.l2shrine.com/makeai/ai.tar.gz

Just a wild guess, talker.occupation != talker.subjob0_class? Look here http://www.maxcheaters.com/topic/169608-gf-ai-documentation/

It's additional proxy or you just have server behind NAT and need port forwarding? If it's just port forwarding, you don't need anything else than DNAT and enabling IPv4 forwarding sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 Also packets from server must go back through the proxy (it must be default gateway for the server) If it's real proxy (another server endpoint): http://www.maxcheaters.com/topic/206180-patched-hauth-to-support-multiple-ip-addressesproxies/?hl=hauthd Also you'll have to learn something about policy-based routing because when you have two endpoints, server will still send packets via default gateway - which will be your primary IP address. So if packet comes to l2server via proxy, it must go back to client via the very same proxy - not via default gateway. You should read something about it (google linux policy based routing), this can help you a bit: On router: Mark incoming packets and restore mark for outgoing packets: iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -i tun0 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 7777 -j CONNMARK --set-mark 100 # mark packets from 1st proxy iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -i tun1 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 7777 -j CONNMARK --set-mark 101 # mark packets from 2nd proxy iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -i tun2 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 7777 -j CONNMARK --set-mark 102 # mark packets from 3rd proxy iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -i br1 -p tcp -m tcp --sport 7777 -j CONNMARK --restore-mark # restore mark on packets going back Use policy-based routing based on packet mark: ip rule add fwmark 100 table 100 # if packet is marked as from 1st proxy, use routing table 100 ip route add default via 10.8.0.1 table 100 # routing table 100 - default gateway is 1st proxy internal address ip rule add fwmark 101 table 101 # if packet is marked as from 2nd proxy, use routing table 101 ip route add default via 10.8.1.1 table 101 # routing table 101 - default gateway is 2nd proxy internal address ip rule add fwmark 102 table 102 # if packet is marked as from 3rd proxy, use routing table 102 ip route add default via 10.8.2.1 table 102 # routing table 102 - default gateway is 3rd proxy internal address On proxy: up iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -m tcp -p tcp --dport 7777 -j DNAT --to-destination 10.8.0.2:7777

You can write something that would periodically monitor server/log/chat folder (for example each second), when new file appears, open it and monitor it too - and process it until another new file appears (then just read the "old" file to the end and close it and conitnue with the new file). By "processing it" I mean reading it line-by-line, parsing that line (to get datetime, chat type, character name, recipient name (if it's PM) and insert it all to some database). I would recommend using different database than the one l2cached uses - not necessarily different database server, but at least different database... Of course there are other ways, for example getting logd from Master Toma - if I got it correctly, that would make it log everything to database. Other way is changing chat log function in l2server (with extender of course) to log it somewhere else. In that case make sure it's nonblocking (asynchronous), otherwise it will cause lags.

We've already discussed it via PM. The problem is you must use patched l2npc as well (vanilla l2npc does work only with gracia final; patched means it uses MyExt64.dll) http://download.l2shrine.com/L2NPCMyExt64.exe

I'm almost sure it works if you remove TvT stuff (it works with AdvExt64 Epilogue data someone sent me - was not demo but the data should be the very same)

There are few strictly no-donate servers (for example our L2 Shrine), but most players prefer pay2win servers full of bots...

There are still thousands of players in Europe but they're spread over hundereds of servers...

You were faster :)) Player community is very fragmented. Someone would play only Interlude hi-rate with lot of customs, someone would play only retail-like H5 lowrate...
