Textures are client side, not server side. Try again.

So wait... you have a bunch of spammers thanking this guy for a share of... nothing... and I get a warning for calling them AND him out? This isn't a share. This is someone who copied two files from the current l2j datapack and decided to make it his share. And it doesn't even do what he claims.

... Are you all fucking retarded? This is a shit share. All of this is already in the latest l2j revisions. In fact, all that's shared is a goofy xml file with no sa at all (considering after my update to all the weapons, we don't handle SAs in the weapon xmls anymore unless it directly modifies weapon data).

Meh, another server with another free domain. And if the site is any indication of what your server is going to be like... >_> There are already enough retail-like servers around without any special changes including L2Full's 3x server (which I've seen their private development community and gotta say, they are way ahead of pretty much every other l2j project).

Thanks for the nice words. :) And yeah, a lot of people tend to have issues leveing past 70 but typically because they don't go to the new zones. No one bothers to go to places like MoS or primeval to level, everyone just stays at pagan's leveling on green and blue mobs, lol. I've seen warlords on the server rip primeval apart easily. So it's not impossible. I've seen a soul hound in the anomic foundry leveling people, spell howlers do pretty well at primeval too. :) People just need to change leveling spots is all. Heh.

Hardware has come far enough now that even on low end DEDICATED servers, L2J runs just fine. The problems start when the admin is a retard and doesn't opt for 8gb+ ram. Bullshit. Want to know why a lot of servers start lagging with about 100 people on? Because of retards who decided that their shitty DSL connection and their personal computer were enough to host a server. So because of them, because there are SOOOOOOO many of these asshats running about, creating L2J servers on shitty packs, it ruins the entire community because then everyone goes "Oh! L2J! Yeah I was on an L2J server once and it SUCKED! So all L2J servers probably suck!!!" Let's look at what the majority of shitty L2J servers (and there are a lot) have in common... They don't configure SQL properly. They don't optimize SQL to run on their specific hardware. They use bad table types (typically myisam). They have shitty hard drives in their "servers" (I use that term lightly). They think they can host a server AND play from the same machine. They think 2-4Gb of ram is enough (lol! maybe if you don't want geodata and to have mysql completely memory resident, have fun with that... lol). They don't have a UPS installed. They think their shitty, 3rd world DSL connection can support more than 10 players at once. They're from... well... guess. lol

Please get a real site first. That means domain and a half decent host (even if it's a free one, just not ucoz). Not being mean here, but if you're srs bsns about running a server, you have to understand that your domain and your site reflect directly on the quality of your server. At least in the minds of the community. Be it players, or other server owners.

Make sure you contribute directly to the l2j project and not just to here. http://www.l2jserver.com/forum/

Unfortunately it was a GREAT looking set with terrible stats. I wish they had gone back and given it a boost to make it worth getting.

Stop playing on shitty servers then. Not my fault. I fixed it, it was committed to the core project, if those servers disabled it, nerfed it, or didn't update properly, then they suck.

This post is me telling you that your statement about it not working on l2j servers is wrong.

Works on http://lineageuniverse.com/ and it's L2J based. Don't talk out of your ass. ;) I even fixed it on the main boards and later it was committed: http://www.l2jserver.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=52&t=9004&p=45629#p45629 Any L2J based server that doesn't have it working either didn't update properly, is using a fork that didn't sync that change, or disabled it intentionally.

Know what this says to me? "I run this server off the same computer that I play on. What's a dedicated server?"

Someone somewhere must've had a copy at one point. The lobby is leaked AFAIK. I just want to break down the client files and see what's different. :)

Anyone have a source for a downloadable client for Gracia+?

So I'm bored, can't sleep, I figure I might as well officially advertise the server I'm now working with here. http://lineageuniverse.com/ Listen, every day kids come through these forums, talk about how awesome their server is, etc, etc. And it's always bullshit. Personally I would never associate myself with a server I had doubts about. Myself, the other devs, and the admin take pride in our server. We've all put in tons of hours researching, fixing what we could, and basically setting it up to make it as fun as possible. I'm not going to sit here and tell you all the regular stuff that we have that every other server out there has because I personally hate it when I see someone go "OH LOOK MENS! WE HAZ FULLY WORKING VESPER ARMORS AND WEAPONS!!!" No shit, I was the one who did those Vesper SAs and every server has them now since it was committed on the core project. ::) But here are a few reasons why this server is better than the rest... No stupid donations that ruin the server. No armor, no weapons, no enchants, no adena, etc. Full NPC buffs offered to lower level players. Our dev team isn't full of retards (HUGE selling point considering that 99% of the servers out there are run by retards and little kids). Hellbound completely open and set up with retail spawns (all quest requirements to enter have been removed, less grind that way). ALL NPCS HAVE RETAIL DROPS, STATS, AND SKILLS. None of that fruity guessed shit based on L2WH data or anything. We have almost all skills working as they should be. The only skills that have been changed differently from retail are Steal Divinity (it was overpowered, even on retail), and the hero/noble skills (they all now have static hit times and reuse timers, fair for all classes now). NO CORRUPTION. I guarantee it. I'm the head developer on this project and I only have limited powers at best. No GM on staff can create items, enchant items, kill mobs, heal players, or even trade/drop items. None of us have access to the gm shop. We are testers and rule enforcers only on the live server. We don't have the power to be corrupt. ;D PHOENIX SERVER 15x Weekly Castle Sieges instead of bi-weekly. Automatic class changes (you do realize that it was myself and poltomb who made that little modification public, right?). Raidboss respawns are 1/2 their normal times. We have improved Geodata (using Stazis as a base then the current geodata {and a few custom geodata} for areas that have been updated). Random retail events. Whenever one of us gets bored we rotate through events based on retail. Just as a little teaser, an update on the Tiat raid (getting close to completion, then we can start working backwards and scripting the rest of the Seed of Destruction)... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEZOZrgMXbw We're the best because myself and the other devs put a LOT of time into this. If you're tired of playing on shitty servers with retarded devs and corrupt gms, then maybe it's time you played at http://lineageuniverse.com/. We're so confident in our work that we regularly submit SOME of it to the core project to be committed. So unlike most other servers, we give back to the community by helping the L2J project.

I'm going to say here what I've said a number of times on the L2J forums... THIS GAME IS NOT DESIGNED FOR EVERYONE TO BE RUNNING AROUND IN END GAME ARMOR AND WEAPONS ENCHANTED TO +16 AND EVERYONE HAVING EVERY SINGLE SKILL AVAILABLE AT ONCE. Yet, most servers love to hand out Dynasty, Icarus, and Vesper like it's just falling from the sky and give people every forgotten scroll skill as well. BUT, despite that, the skills themselves are actually pretty balanced. The problem is that just about every server out there doesn't have proper reuse timers, powers, etc for them yet. So FOR THOSE SERVERS, they suck ass because they're still overpowered. Otherwise, Gracia Final brings a proper balance to the game that the other Gracia chronicles messed up. Right now, there is only 1 skill I know of that is extremely overpowered, and that's steal divinity. But for any competent developer, it's easily taken care of (we have ours on a 60 second reuse, can only steal up to 3 buffs at max, and can't steal self buffs, and it steals random buffs so you never can be sure which you'll get).

Just goes to show that you haven't played it on a proper server. Gracia Final is actually the most balanced Chronicle to date.

Boring, these are features that even the core l2j project has. Don't tell me your car has wheels when you try to sell it to me. I just expect it to. There's nothing fair about donations if you include even one enchant, armor, or weapon in it. Never seen a server that uses "tats" that was balanced. Just FYI. Your Adena rate is stupid. Yes, I know we can have more than 2.1 billion now, but that doesn't mean you can just go and fuck up the economy. Make everything 10x cheaper and reduce the adena rate by 10x. Voila, you'll still have a fucked up economy since it's at 200x, but at least it'll be more stable than at 2000x. I don't see why they're still in development. The core project recently committed my weapon sa rework which included all S84 weapons and the S84 armor bonuses are already done. The only thing not done yet is masterwork bonuses. Lol, I am so going to join JUST to see your implementation of Tiat and Ekimus. Considering this server is based on the maxcheaters network, I expect these to be better than mine. ;)

Well, the problem is how the devs of the main project handle things. They're too slow to adopt new ideas, new methods, etc. So people got frustrated and made forks. This slows down overall progress since now talent gets divided instead of focused into one singular project. On top of that, you have a number of devs on the core project who no longer contribute at all. nBd, Aikimaniac, Kadar, julian, phoenixbird (lol, what does he do? runs the forums... haha, cause that's so hard), Sandro, and even GodKratos and kerberos have been MIA lately. Aiki has at least 2 people on the dp staff brought over directly from his server, and all three of them barely do anything at all (and really, I mean barely). What's funny is if you confront them about it, they'll give you two different answers depending on when you ask. If you ask in the winter, they'll tell you that summer is when more devs will make progress and whatnot. If you ask in summer, they'll tell you that everyone is on vacation so progress will start after summer is over. That's why the L2J project is so far behind. That and they sit on any contribution for ages before committing it. Even if it is a valid contribution.

Interlude servers are part of the fail servers. kthx

You know, I never thought I'd see such fanboy'ism for a certain Chronicle of a game. I mean, sure everyone gets nostalgic from time to time, but godamn, some of you cling to your Interlude servers like they give you handjobs every time you level up or something. Seriously, most of the people who claim to hate Gracia Final and love Interlude are the same people who refuse to adapt play styles to new classes and skills because it took them 5 years to figure out how to play properly with Interlude classes and skills.

Here's how it is... those who need to stop making fail servers will never read this thread. And those players who continue to be retards and play on fail servers will never read this thread. So really, this thread is here purely for our bitching to each other about how much we have 15 year old greek kids making servers. :D

Static reuse times on offense aug spells as per retail = uber nerfed. :) The only augments worth getting now are the passives. Either the + magic crit, + crit, or one of the neat passives like stun/para/flint/doom on hit/magic.
