[kobiell]

Hello , i made already server w/o compiling with elicpse. Now i see that i need to repair some things with putting java code.

 

Question is it works like this ?

 

1.When we compile with eclipse , we can put java code but when we make a build and make a server system we cant make any more changes ?

 

2. I have my server running , i want to open it in eclipse and make thing like this in topic http://maxcheaters.com/forum/index.php?topic=184713.0  . [server wasnt compiled to eclipse] 

 

Im newbie , im learning , trying . U can say 'leave' administrating but i want learn it . Just help me please .

You have to recompile each time you change something in core. Even the lowest, simplest thing. It is surely for that L2J unhardcode many things, even if it's stupid.

 

The only (in 95% of time) thing you have to do once you recompiled is to drag and drop the l2jserver.jar to your lib folder. Ofc if you made sql changes, htlm changes or whatever changes, do changes... But about core, in 95% of cases it's enough. If you made change on LoginServer, think to drag && drop on the LS lib folder too.

 

Now if your pack was a precompiled pack, sorry, but you have to drop it. You still can keep SQLs tables and datapack, if it matches with the pack you checkouted from the team's SVN (surely L2J/L2JFree).

 

- Find sources (generally pack give a link to checkout), compile them, install a fresh server .

- To update server, change sources, compile it, and change (like I said higher.... In 95% on cases) l2jserver.rar

 

Precompiled packs can't be change. You can use a decompiler, but it will give a bad form and can't be recompiled like that. It's only good to "ninja locked features".

 

PS : find a tutorial "how to checkout". The one you showed is once you get sources already.

There is a huge topic debate that can go on about this. Ill write in a seperate topic as a guide, ways to "reload" your code without taking down the server. It can be done with multiple ways, bytecode injection, script engines and fully reloadable with custom classloaders. There are also libraries that allow you to reload your server and recompile on the fly in debug mode. Check JRebel for example.

OK then Tryskell , I installed fresh server .

I used tutorial from this forum , I Get  from http://maxcheaters.com/forum/index.php?topic=156075.0  l2jfree interlude SVN .

 

I checked out Respositories , 2 folders appears : L2 GameServer and L2 DataPack . I opened one of them , in only one was file "build" so i clicked build ant 1  , thing have been done sucesfully . Then i go to workspace and extracted to disc this zipped folder . It look now like:

 

gameserver

login

tools

sql

 

Seems fine but files not are full , like login is a empty folder and i cannot see file like l2jserver.jar in workspace , so i couldnt even update it. I was looking for many tutorials , i did same as it was there and i no have clue what to do with this. I also installed database , tables were instaled and its nothing more for this moment

From what I know, L2JFree uses Maven to compile... Not Ant.

 

And their SVN *seems* full, so except if they got inherent problems at the build, you made something wrong.

[kobiell]

Coult not execute mojo resources . Im getting this error with that build when im trying compile with maven .  I cannot read meaning of this words , how to make it go on ?

[Tryskell]

Hehe, for the funny story, I never compiled/runned a L2JFree, because at first time (1,5 year ago now) people on their forum never said me how to compile this piece of crap :).

 

Since then, I never searched to retry it or search to do it.

 

I managed to dev on L2J then, as it was working. Little story apart, find a tutorial or go on L2J :D.
