let us not fight over imaginary situations boys, i didn't make the post coz i am planning on paying 5keuro/dev , and i am sure no one is :) i just wanted to see how the active members of the forum think, and i saw some very interesting views until now. Let's keep it civilized.

by carefully reading the first post i wrote you will see that this is a hypothetical situation in which there is someone who gives all these people money to complete tasks, i didn't say work together or on the same part of the code, i said work on the same project, you make the x system and someone else makes the y system and they are compatible with each other. I never said i admire their leading skills or their personality even, i said that their skills if focused on the same project would produce a great result ( in my opinion ). Also i never said their ideas should be combined into a single project, this is a misunderstanding. They would WORK ( create what the person that gives them the money tells them to create ) you know as freelancers do. Not important but i will respond to the underage part too :) i am not underage and i do understand politics and much more about social behavior than i care to explain. Understanding how something is and accepting it as it is without trying to change it if you see flaws are different things and i cant accept some things when i can change them. As i said before i have found people that dont think how others act and think is what they should/need/must do or think. And i am sure i will find many more in the future. I want to make sure no one sees any of the things i write as an attack or an insult, i am expressing my personal opinion and that can be right or wrong in the eyes of different people, just communicating my thoughts and ideas. Cheers!

posting my opinion about what you just said would lead to an endless argument( i've seen some on this forum ) i want to evolve the game and add to it, you prefer the older version of it and are copying ncsoft as well as you can. we both established our wants, let's agree to disagree ( it is personal opinions after all ) thanks for taking the time to answer my question :)

how unfortunate it is to see you guys call humanity stupid and a bunch of moron and have no problem including yourselves in that bunch, accepting the title that defines some( mby most ) but not all.... some of you embrace the selfishness of humans and politicians, thank the "non-existent creator of all" not everyone is so eager to grab the title of "i am human and i have flaws so i cant do the right thing even when i know it's right coz i am supposed to be selfish" and i have found open-minded people to work with :) thank you for letting me know how you see things. reminded me of this Dont be the first pair, be more like the second! <3

i see your point. that ( making a game from scratch) would be ideal it would also require recreating the client and the server side while what i suggested was fixing the existing one ( saves you a lot of time :) ) you are right about the emulation part but i think with all the interface edits and the automations we( as a community ) have added to the game we have moved past the simple emulation and are trying to make the game as relevant and advanced as we can.

interesting. since you mention ( and focus ) on the source part and the chronicles , here is my view on the issue. Lineage 2 is old( very old ) and there are games out there that have much better graphics and more useful functions ( jump, more with wsad, cast while moving etc ) I mention that to point out that every single server that opens is the exact same game ncsoft made all those years ago, with all the same mistakes ( game design mistakes ) and useless functions, they just change the name to Lineage XXXXXX, recolor items, rename items and THAT'S IT. We( anyone who make a "no customs" server or even a "custom" one are recycling the same million times chewed gum and "selling" it as a new one, on and on. Lineage needs to change in it's core ( i have been making an attempt for quite a while now, and the results will be available to everyone at some point in the future ) but more people need to innovate and by innovate i mean take a source ( no matter what, l2jserver acis frozen whatever ) and with it CREATE LINEAGE FROM SCRATCH WITHOUT ALL THE STUPID CRAP NCSOFT PUT IN THERE. For example, i have seen many try to get the exact formulas ncsoft uses right and my question is "why??" i have never seen a game have such bad formulas for calculating stats and results(damage, critical accuracy etc ) the player when looking at his stats window has no clue what the numbers he sees mean, a simple example is critical chance and accuracy, 500 critical rate, why not give him the % since we are talking about RATE. or 20 accuracy and the enemy has 20 evasion , the player doesn't know his hitland rate he just sees random numbers tries to make the number bigger and hopes for the best. WHY NOT remake all those formulas into something that would allow players know how good or bad their character is in each field. ( someone may say "it's coz the stats you have late-gameare prefixed by the game since we know what items you will be using late-game and everyone uses the same items, has the same skills etc, so the difference is minimal ) that i would argue is an other mistake that needs to be fixed. Think outside the box and with the knowledge you have ( and you have a lot of it ) make a BETTER lineage, don't follow the stupid path ncsoft left you on ) oh and about the chronicles, just pick the one with most clientside content and you are good to go. sorry for the long post...got carried away, but i think it's good food for thought :) Cheers !

i didn't just say bigger team i said better team, no matter how good your team is ( not personally yours ) it is nothing compared to what a team of the best from each field would produce( my opinion ). what i am describing in my first post btw should not be mistaken for communism, it's much closer to a company( definition of it actually ) in my personal experience, a company that wants to produce a good result will hire the best person to do the job, and i see many "best persons to do the job" on maxcheaters. i just wanted to see how they would react to such an idea ( and i am ^_^ )

i am not a communist or the opposite of it hehe :) what i am is not naive enough to think teaming up is a weakness. Glad to know where you stand though.

i see your point and i see being different as a good thing as i mentioned in my first post, we are good at different things too and many different good things together give you a great result, i will repeat myself only this once and say that it's a good thing not everyone sees being different as a bad thing and something that should separate us like you do. also, i don't want to argue with anyone, i just wanted to see some opinions, now i know yours, thank you for your input.

i am so glad not everyone thinks like you

it is sad to see that people like you guys think like politicians :( they are supposed to be stupid and we make fun of them coz they don't work together for stupid reasons ( like picking sides ) and not being able to see the big picture...

i can suggest some great web designers, you are in terrible need of one.

Fix this please

just system? nothing created by you? same lineage from 30 years ago? sad :/

What if ALL ( the legit ) Server and Client developers from maxcheaters worked on the SAME PROJECT? What do you think would happen? How good do you think the result would be?( technically ofc, coz the idea would be of the company/person they worked for ) How many would go to jail coz they killed someone from the team coz they don't like them? ^_^ ( with not everyone being friends with everyone else it would be hard but lets say you had someone pay you 5000euro/month to work on a project alongside the rest of the devs ) sometimes i see someones work and i can't help but think "imagine what we could do if we all worked together" we( as a community ) have amazing modelists , GXF ppl, codespitting developers, interface experts, network pros and they almost never work together... that leads to a server with poor code and amazing interface or amazing code but the server looks like shit, or stupid code and interface and amazing websites and so on...

or your files :)

if he wants an item from inventory to give a skill this topic solves the problem you create a skill( active or passive ) in your xml you create an item with this <set name="item_skill" val="27000-1" /> skill id skill level then you create the client side ( skill grp and skillname ) and then you enjoy it ingame. the problem is that i dont think he understands anything we write :(

my opinion on this ( not that it matters ) if he didn't commit some major crime like stealing, scamming etc and his only fault was flame and spam then you don't not unban him but let him make new accounts. don't forget that the whole point of "jails" and in general punishment is to reform. if he was bad, he got banned and after that he was not bad it means that it worked and he is better now( positive score indicates that but it's very easy to get it these days ) on the other hand, if he has been banned many times ( 10 mentioned above ) then it means that he cant be reformed and we need the "death penalty". not suggesting any one of those , just giving you an outsiders perspective :)

could it be coz of the lie? i mean you said i'm batman but they may have found out that you are not!?!

i am sorry i cant, as i said i dont code :(

i cant help you fix that coz i dont know java and if i dont know anything about something i dont try to fix it i first try to learn more about it, even if someone helps you fix this you will not be better at java, you will not have learned anything from this, you will not be able to fix the next problem on your own either even if sweets or someone else helps you with this problem.if i need a java problem fixed i have 2 options, learn java or pay someone who knows java to make it.

i am very sorry that i will say this to you infocus but i cant hold it in :( you are trying to make a server but you dont have the knowledge for it, you are trying to fix code and you dont know programming you even had issues creating a simple passive skill if you want to become a developer learn how to code then try to create or change things being in the process of making a server is not the right move for you right now. try things on your own ( start with simple xmls ) then learn more complex things, no hate just some truth.

if you write it in english i can help you, if i dont understand what you write i cant...

Lock this if you want boys.

lol
