Actually, I tried downloading one of the shares just to mess around with, but I got on a really basic step. I'll check out acis and frozen. Thank you for the suggestion.

Hey all, I'm looking to create and run a server just for myself, extremely low population you could say to mess around with a GM account. What would you recommend for a server as close to vanilla as possible? Probably interlude or freya, but whatever is fine for now. Do you think l2j would be the best and/or easiest? What about l2off? How buggy is l2j compared to l2off? Some of the guides for l2j is extremely outdated and missing information. Going to look for guides here. Thanks

Please excuse the extremely basic question, but I can't figure out where I went wrong here. When I run database_installer.bat, it fails to create the backup and the database. I assumed at first it was because pointing to the wrong mysql executable, but I don't think that's it. The following is what I have tried so far. Database_installer.bat: Troubleshooting Process -C:\l2jserver\tools\xampp\mysql\bin [different mysql executables] -C:\Program Files\MariaDB 10.5\bin\ -Change HeidiSQL's password -Started over -Admin rights with the bat file -Executed within CMD Notes: -DB port: Using 3307. 3306 is being used by something else, but not another instance of xampp. -My DB names within heidiSQL with utf8_general_ci, l2jls, l2jgs, & l2jcs -Following canislupus's guide & Zealer's guide -Currently using Repository bitbucket with Interlude at this moment -Tried Sarimoko's repository as well -vars.txt -Windows 10 VM -HeidiSQL_10.3_64_Portable, eclipse-jee-2019-12-R-win32-x86_64, 7-Zip 19.00, MariaDB 10.5, Java jdk1.8.0_231 64bit Error Messages: -Backup attempt failed!
