4shared link is up.

Different soulshot effect on enchant. Like xdem used on aepvp.

I believe they leave like that to don't give you the real pass / it's still under preparation, no live, so defaults can stay for a while :D Otherwise you work with total newbies and they deserve to be 'hacked' :(

That's fine to the moment you set your own username and strong password. Even with default database name, root user, while you use strong password that's OK. Cracking 16 chars password with symbols, letters, upper case.. Would take years, so.. :p

It's like saying don't provide your PayPal / email address to people, otherwise they will crack your ass. It's not even worth to mention. To allow tunneling you create new username and it's obvious you set some wild or not database password. Database name, username and passwords it's up to you. You can always allow connection from specific ip. So.. Pointless note to be honest. :D

Ofc 4G is enough for high online. Windows consumes more memory, about stability, I guess there is no big deal. So, you can take any os you want. Yeah, Navicat and remote connection (tunneling) is ok to manage.

With 8GB of RAM, you will be fine as well. If you set 4G for your gameserver, it's more than enough. So, there is no need to focus on high ram value.

Can't say how frozen works, but if you removed the castle info from the table, it should be enough. Else it has some more info (already stored) which it reads and throw npe as you removed it. You should see how, where it's parsed. Eventually use clean database and try again removing the castle table. If you again get npe, God's know why, you have to see how it feed the data.

Maybe there is something else in frozen to do. That frozen. Add a null check if (_castle != null) before the 62th line and check. castleId may be null there as well? Dunno how it's parsed, basically you should not get there.

Keep only giran on castle table. Find the sql / xml file with augmentation data and remove all chance augments.

Vps 8/12G is more than enough, but as mentioned above, its a virtual environment, so you don't know who and how uses another part of it. While dedicated is only for yourself. You could give a try for vps, if shit happens, you can move to dedi.

No one is saying you are bad, they only point out that you are lying regarding your online. Who cares if it's 500-1000-2000, it's simply funny when someone say that their online is 5000 (Russian servers mostly), yet the real online is at least /2 =)

Maybe your lines are 'corrupted'. Good practice is, copy existing line armor/weapon or whatever item type you want to add and edit necessary information, like id name description and such. Most people use this one https://github.com/L2Miko/L2FileEdit

Compare it with another shield xml, you should be able to notice difference, what's missing.

At first I tho the same, but check the gs log before error, items were loaded successfully. Again, check log folder the error file, there might be file name which causes the issue.

What backup are you talking about. If your backup is crap, nothing will change. If it's l2jserver, take their data.

It's skill xml, replace them with default ones. If you added custom skills, check em. You can even load only few files, working fine, add more files until you find broken file. Eventually check log folder, you may have there the file name that generates error.

Like you said, you was asking in SHARE section. I told you that such mods exists, if you are acis customer, search in acis forum. If you are not, go to share section and search there. Eventually try to Google search its gonna be faster if you 'guess the keyword'. Hint, skip items from droplist.

You didn't link the jar to the project.

Some newly? added skill misses some line, most likely skill type or so. As the line is missing its null and boom error.

Install it anew don't use any stupid unlocked or so. Simply delete it via regedit. Doing so since years, working fine.

Use some mod to skip defined items ID on server load. Shared on MxC, shared on aCis forum. Btw, how come that "asking" "requesting help" fits to the share section..?

I choose heal java files, let them get flag > kill the fag.

If you want to completely block the skill usage, put the check in RequestMagicSkillUse. About error if that happened after your edit, simply revert it, you did something wrong. Also, you should post what and where did you add/edit.
