Thank you for the reply. I know that this issue is due to L2 being so old. I was just wondering if there was an external way to fix the UI scaling. Like a patch or some settings.

Hello everyone. Long time no see. I've been trying to play L2 on my 4k monitor, however the UI is extremely small. I checked around the internet and couldn't find a guide on how to keep the resolution high and the UI size a bit bigger. I either get small UI + full resolution (correct resolution of monitor), or normal sized UI but resolution set to full HD (which doesn't really look good on a 4k screen). Adjusting scaling on display settings doesn't change the UI just the text on L2. Does anyone know a way to increase the UI size only and keeping the screens resolution same (4k) ? I'll share a screenshot as an example, and it 's not even full screen mode. https://freeimage.host/i/3cvPVnI

I strongly concur with some opinions shared. As I've previously mentioned on different posts, it's shocking to see how seasonal servers gather this much population. However, being back in the game some months I did start understanding how the current community of L2 plays and thinks. It's a huge problem, but in my opinion the guilt is shared between server owners and community. To keep a long term project running (more than a year on) you need to have the equivalent community that will support the project, which unfortunately is not that big. The current player community of L2 hops on new servers with such a haste to get full and "dominate" which does indeed give a lot of activity for some weeks but after that it's just downfall, population gets reduced drastically day by day. The reason is, while the community is busy "grinding" to win on their current server, a "new" server is being advertised which most likely is from the same owner. As I've mentioned, the guilt is shared since the server-owners focus on bringing up "new" servers for the cash grab but also since the community doesn't have the patience to support a long-term project. Besides, let's not forget about clans/CPs being invited directly to the server with some benefits. I'll give an example. An admin opens a server, invites 3 groups (either CPs or clans) by promising them some small benefits. Those three groups will invite more players and so on. It's like an investment, they spent 5$ to earn 20$. Therefore, most admins willing to play "fair" do not succeed, except for a few. Most of us "old-timers" play for nostalgia trips and are fine with low populated servers but lets take a step back and think about the owners that really want to provide a good server, no income will slowly dry out the server and eventually die. Don't get me wrong, there are some great servers out there, but not everything is for everyone. I'll finish by quoting someone I saw few days ago on YouTube, he said something along the lines that we shouldn't expect fair play while we play an "illegal" version of the game.

Hey there, just to be clear I'm not asking for a guide or anything like that. Just starting a discussion. So here we go. Been back to L2 some months now on/off. Playing around on different servers and on my own server too (mostly for fun nothing serious). I mostly played interlude and hi5 for this time period, I've met people and to my surprise on a discussion they've mentioned some bugs that worked on known servers, not too far back. I won't mention any server names as to not de-fame any server. But I will mention some bugs mentioned to me and some I've witnessed myself. Double buffs (such as improved combat and might stacked), players getting healed outside of town (npc buffer), double stats from certain items, castle engraver not receiving damage/debuffs (without celestial/FOI). It's amazing how such an old game can still "generate" bugs to this day. Makes you wonder how many exploits and bugs existed back in the good old days and the majority of players knew nothing about it. I do understand that it has lots to do with the used packs, JAVA vs OFF and so on but I do find it interesting hearing others experiences and opinions on this matter.

Might be a dumb question, but is there any Prelude server running like in the video shown below? I don't care about stability or anything, just want to see the client.

Warlord and Gladiator skills give PVE bonus on specific monsters. Not for all. There are stats to increase total PVE damage regardless of the monster group. I just don't have access to my computer atm so I can't tell you exactly the name. Search the stats bonus from the pvp belts (physical attack and skill attack) and copy their pvp bonuses. Then just swap "pvp" to "pve", keep the rest of the name same and add it to your skill/item. As for PVE defense I couldn't find something. Hope I helped!

Hello, thanks for the reply. This skin system makes each item have a different visual correct? Is there any code that makes the player own the skin regardless of what they are wearing? Can't decide which is better

Hello maxcheaters, I've been working on a hi5 server. I want to add skin/dressme system on my server. But I searched and couldn't find anything for hi5 here. Is there anyone willing to guide or send me a shared code? Thanks in advance,

Wow thanks a lot mate. Especially for clarifying the different types of protections, I was unaware. I will take a look into what you sent and do some more research. I will take some time before opening the server, at least some months to get further informed. Thanks again!

I thought I was clear enough when I wrote " All I know is about protection, website/discord, topsites but that's it." Because that's literally all I know lol. I mean, let's say I'm done editing/customizing my server. What do I do from here on? -I need to add protections, adverts, topsites and so on. -Are those enough? -Where can I find good protection? -Only 1 kind of protection? For example, a protection like SmartGuard covers everything? -Do I need to rent a server to host my server? I got newbie questions like those. Anything related to launching a server, except making the server.

Hey everyone, so as the title says I want to discuss about launching a server for the first time. I've managed to create my server, I can say it's 90% completed. I am now entering the "unknown" field. As I've previously mentioned in other posts it's my first time creating such a project so I don't really know what to do from this point forward. All I know is about protection, website/discord, topsites but that's it. If there's anyone kind enough to help and briefly explain what I have to do, I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

Hello, been working on my server and recently added Auto-potions. I used a shared code and it works. The potions are under the soulshot handler now. They get activated with left click instead of right click. Can that be changed? If yes, can someone explain? I searched on the forum but I couldn't find a solution to this issue. The only information I could gather is that it may client related but I wasn't sure.

Problem solved with the help of NevesOma. Thank you!

Thank you! So I checked and it is indeed saved as ver 121. What else could be the issue?

The only thing I did after saving the file was to encrypt it. I don't know for sure if I saved it to 121 encoding. How can I check that?
