It doesn't collide with what I say :). L2J isn't complex, once you are aware about inner organization ; the "complexity" comes from the size and from the amount of features colliding between each other - at worst. Technically, there are only few parts which can block someone, and that would basically be, from my PoV : movement, geoengine/pathfinding, mmcore/network, knownlist. The leftover is complex only if the developer is complex in his head. About customs, the only limit of complexity is your imagination, and the question "is it really useful ?".

I, and L2 world in general, got no point opening a public custom version of aCis, except sitting my dominion over Interlude chronicle, once and for all, leaving (almost) no other space for other packs in this chronicle. Do we really want the same custom server spreads everywhere ? I believe than no. Simply see how that L2Pride share harmed the concept of L2Pride ; any idiot could simply open one server out of nothing. And I believe CONCEPTS should be kept original, and the sole property of "real" developers (aka, people who used their time to make the thing possible). Not from a leecher, who simply downloaded something at best, or stole it at worst. My position towards customs generated a whole ecosystem which wouldn't eventually exist. L2JFrozen's death actually harmed me, it was what I call "my anti-noob firewall". That project shielded me for a very long time of retards, people who aren't able to read a topic, leechers, and whatever else bad people you (I, at least) don't want involved into development. While I agree everyone should access to some decent BASE files (and that's what I aim with aCis, giving anyone the chance to open a decent server), I believe UNIQUE CONCEPTS should be kept secret. And overall, it's more challenging trying to reproduce something than to invent something out of nothing.

1.5 is a side project from Reynald0, it isn't affiliated to L2JFrozen initial team. He picked latest free L2JFrozen sources as base. 2.0 was supposedly the private/premium version of L2JFrozen, except than Shyla/Nefer never did it. They did few revisions based on L2 towns naming (Giran, Oren, etc) and that's almost it. There are numerous abandoned chronicles out there, not sure why everyone focus on IL. I chose IL because it's the chronicle I mostly played on, but I doubt it's the same for every monkey out there. :) You got entire chronicles like C1, C4, GF which can be easily done with reliable informations (unlike IL) and which aren't (a lot) developped (some aren't developped at ALL). ---- Custom packs would never get the priority over packs which work on retail fixes, simply because retail fixes are way harder to produce than customs, which are abundant and heavily spread/shared. I simply can apply the 10 most used customs, clean them a little and call aCis a "custom pack". That would probably make okish concurrency to L2JFrozen and alike. But well, I got better things to fix for now. Maybe I will move of chronicle/type when I will judge aCis mostly done. :)

It actually matches really well the background. They even developped some parts of that aspect in retail, but they didn't go really far, where it could be actually a real part of the gameplay.

Faction engine is a matter of 400 lines, more or less. Trickiest part - if that is tricky - is to put faction checks on existing features. The leftover is extremely basic, and can be basically adapted from any server pack holding faction engine to any other server pack in few hours, or coded in few days taking your time. Before opening aCis, back in 2010, my own server project was a faction server, that's to say how easy it is to code it.

Changeset 387 (1541) Movement is still experimental. The status IS NOT OK for LIVE servers. MoveToPawn behavior still need to be fixed. Siegable Hall isn't tested, and probably need further development. Those CHs are normally fully working regarding owner administration. LS rework, Quest related edits, Chat related edits, Organization LS rework - Generate enums package for LS, and extract existing enums to it. - Generate data (sql and manager) package, and move all related classes to it. - Replacement of password algorithm from Base64 to BCrypt. Ty SweeTs. - Load all Account (previously AccountInfo) in memory, to avoid pointless SQL manipulation and generating/destroying Accounts objects. - Extract related content from multiple classes and generate AccountManager and IpBanManager out of it. Quest related edits - Ty Hasha - Quest system edit - Complete the javadoc + cleanup. - QuestTimer storage is simplified (all timers are stored on same level). - Quest#onEvent is dropped, onAdvEvent prevails. - Add the possibility to cancel specific QuestTimer based on multiple criterias. - Implement Quest#onTimer, moving timer based events from onAdvEvent. - Quest#onGameTime and Quest#onSiegeEvent got now parameter for easier usage. - Make an extensive use of onDecay on all quests. - All quests are edited to spawn only one instance of a quest monster at a time. - Remove boolean flag isRepeating over Quest#startQuestTimer ; cut that method in 2, Quest#startQuestTimer and Quest#startQuestTimerAtFixedRate. - Quests - Introduce SecondClassQuest abstract class, holding shared content between all 2nd class transfert quests. - Q021 : Add few missing sounds and HTMs. - Q242 : Fix the Fallen Unicorn issue. - Q619 : Introduce droplists of relics for 4sep and IT. - Fix retail typo "Neidrahu" > "Nidrah" on all HTMs ("Nidrah" being the reverse of "Hardin", the necromancer). - Q334 addition, ty Rootware. Chat related edits - Ty Hasha - NpcSay : added more constructors, javadoc - CreatureSay (Say2) - added more constructors, javadoc - updated packet structure, removed _npcString (IL client does not use NpcString) - removed systemmessage parameters, they are not used by client - updated parameter names, added some explanation - updated the usage of packet, whenever possible, changed to NpcSay(shorter packer name (string) -> npcid (int)) - Introduction of new enum SayType for chat type. - Added NpcStringId container, based on L2OFF fstring.txt content. Organization - Add SevenSignsManager#getLosingCabal(), rename SevenSignsManager#getCabalHighestScore() > getWinningCabal(). - Delete CabalBuffer instance. Move behavior to AI script, as group.CabalBuffers. Behavior is taken from L2OFF GF (same than IL). Note: Prefer NpcSay over CreatureSay, when having a need for creature (with NPC ID) to speak. PS : The transition between Base64 and BCrypt for password encryption is left to live servers owners, but the idea is to edit used algorithm of "password replace feature" using BCrypt on your existing account panel, and request your users to edit their password to be able to log on. Movement is still experimental. The status IS NOT OK for LIVE servers. MoveToPawn behavior still need to be fixed. Siegable Hall isn't tested, and probably need further development.

I would like to help, but it directly collide with my own project management (+ wasting time saying what's wrong with your version when I already got a version waiting to be tested/commited). I will try to commit missing quests at a ratio of 1/changeset.

If you successfully pass the account creation and goes on character creation panel : check logs for errors, compare revision with changesets (even if I don't have memory of such a problem), drop your security (lameguard or any sort of external guard) and/or change of client. If you use W10, you need a w10 fix for IL client (I think it's fixed on latest W10 versions, but it was running for a long time).

None will give you the use of the 1500+ core files of a L2J project. I invite you to be curious and explore it. L2J is 80% project knowledge and 20% Java. Langages to know : HTM, XML, SQL, Java. Some projects still have scripts under Jython. With ok logic and no specific knowledge, you can expect to be "mhe" after 6 months of tries/fails, "ok" with 1y and "decent" after 1y+. stackoverflow website is the best way to get answers regarding Java structures/logic/patterns in general.

The idea behind XML/SQL split is XML hold "static, non-editable" data (properties of an object,...) while SQL store "dynamic" data (timers, character data,...). Basically said, XML is loaded once and its content is never edited somewhere while SQL tables are often edited based on server/player event. XML is far easier to "human-read" notably when informations are crossed. Best exemple is you needed something like 6-7 different SQL tables to store all NPC properties (ai, skills, drops, minions, teachTo, general stats,...), while XML offers a single "id card" per npcId, making it easier to read. And revert what you did to TownZone, you fucked up all SoE, escape skills, etc. It's classes xml folder you need to edit for starting zones.

From memory Mobius copied aCis geoengine (and maybe scripts folder ?). No clue about the leftover.

1 - Each race got already its own starting locations nodes, simply check the related classes XML. 2 - There is no use of that, simply edit related XMLs. 3/4/5 - Add whatever related custom, either copying from another pack or a share topic.

It's no salt, just common sense. I got a life and I'm not paid, therefore my support time is limited to questions I judge legit. I already pass a lot of time coding, answering on Discord and supporting this forums section. Believe me, you would also deny people if you were on my position. People asking "where to buy aCis" or "how to install it" while there are stickied topics on Announcements section and a Tavern guides section, for exemple. If people are too lazy to search the info, L2J isn't for them. They will stuck at a moment. About your problem, you can eventually post it on Discord. If it's not me, someone else would eventually answer, if your question isn't that stupid.

There is no good or bad aCis sources. Each revision fix things. If you use free revision, leeched version or random pack based on aCis, I got no reason to help you. Use it at risk. I support latest revision users only - when their questions aren't stupid.

You got bugs report section to see valid bugs. And no, the problem is you do shit or you use old or edited aCis revision.

First, why would you restart server when //reload config works ? Second, what's the actual error ? It's like telling to a doctor "I'm in pain". His answer would be "wtf mate, give fucking details or die".

Movement is under lights for this cycle and the next if it's not yet fixed during this cycle. The sort of rework than L2JFrozen, and basically 90% of packs aren't willing to do - but will be happily leeching without giving a single credit once it's fully valid. Not sure why you speak about Pirama - 2y I didn't hear that name. And with his pitiful behavior, I'm not sad about it.

I got no driver licence, so I can't drive a white van. But I got candies and chocolate if you want, come here... -------- Regarding aCis, it's an almost 10y old project with hundreds of fixes, if that was that bad I would have more complains about my 100+ customers. It's still developped at this date, L2JFrozen stopped in 2011 with 10 times less edits/fixes and no ambition over things needed to be rewritten, so the "vs" comparison is simply pointless ; they do different things and aim different admins population - aCis aiming retailness and minimalistic approach while L2JFrozen aiming "1 click users". I believe aCis goes in the good direction, anyway, simply use whatever you want because in the end, your server will probably die no matter the project you use with your mindset and skills. Not sure what you do wrong, but you do it wrong. Feel free to use a 2011 pack if you believe it's better, and if you want to help aCis, report issues when you find a real one. L2JFrozen shouldn't even be a choice. It's like if you choose between Internet Explorer 5 and Mozilla Firefox. Unfortunately, none took back the lead. If people would use their time to debug aCis instead of splitting between forks and trying to pull the cover to themselves, it would be already ended. Bubu.

Search for "Could not store char base data" on your pack, and add the missing parameter number 66 on your SQL query, which is probably a custom. You basically edited your query adding a parameter "..., custom = ?" in characters table without adding the given parameter.

In future it will be linked to a territory, as retail. You will have to define territories with min/max amount of NPCs. Regarding enchanting formula, it's based on L2OFF. If you don't want to learn Java, hire someone or simply stick to playerbase, because none pack is full or bugfree.

Recall npc would be pointless/invalid in 1 or 2 cycles with incoming SpawnManager.
