Lineage II Private Server Setup Guide

 

 

Extract your Lineage2 Server (170MB+) files onto a directory. Extract L2server.zip (1.81 MB) into your Server's root directory that contains CacheD, L2LogD, L2NPC, NewAuth, etc. Overwrite all the files when prompt. Extract DBScript.zip (103.4 KB) into your Server's root directory that contains the folder DBScript and override all the files.

 

 

 

When installing MSSQL. Make sure you take note of the account/user login and password!! You'll need them for later. Here's a quick walkthru installation guide:

 

 

 

Make sure you choose "Local Computer"

 

Then "Creater a new instance of SQL Server, or install Client Tools" //or something similar. If you don't have this option prompt. Don't worry about it. You get this if you're installing again for the 2nd time.

 

Make sure you pick "Server and Client Tools" along the way in the installation process.

 

It'll automatically check "Default" for instance name or you can specific one. It doesn't really matter which one you pick as long as you remember the instance name.

 

Along the way in the installation process, make sure you pick an option that uses Both MySQL Login and Windows Login.

IP Configurations

Go to your Lineage 2 Server folder.

 

 

 

In each of these following folders: L2LogD, CacheD, NewAuth, PetitionD, L2NPC, and L2Server, they contain a configuration file that is either a *.ini or *.txt document. You don't need to change anything and make sure they're set at 127.0.0.1. The only time you would need to change them is if you are loading them from multiple computers! It doesn't matter if you even have a router! As long as you are loading all 6 Process from the same machine, you just need to keep most of the IP adress as 127.0.0.1.

 

Change the following lines in config.txt under "NewAuth\etc" folder:

 

DevServerIP="24.68.124.198" //Change this to your Internet IP address, your WAN, the IP that you get from your ISP. Visit www.whatismyip.com to find it.

 

logdip="127.0.0.1" //Change this to what you used for your L2LogD.ini address.

 

Change the following lines in l2cache.ini under CacheD folder:

 

address="127.0.0.1" //Change this only if you plan to load this from a different computer! Adjust it to the ip of that computer! If PC2 has IP of 192.168.0.121 and it is planning to load L2CacheD.exe there. Then change it, otherwise leave it as 127.0.0.1!

 

 

 

Change the following lines in l2logd.ini under L2LogD folder:

 

address="127.0.0.1" //Same thing as L2CacheD.ini

 

 

 

Change the following lines in config.txt under PetitionD\etc folder:

 

webAuthServer="127.0.0.1" //Same thing as L2CacheD.ini

 

 

 

Change the following lines in L2NPC.ini under L2NPC folder:

 

//Change them accordingly to what you adjusted for them. If L2LogD.ini has ip of 192.168.0.121 on PC2. Then change that IP in L2NPC.ini to that. You are pointing L2NPC.exe to connect to the other Server Processes. Leave the ports alone!

 

 

 

[LogD]

 

address="127.0.0.1"

 

port=3999

 

 

 

[CacheD]

 

address="127.0.0.1"

 

port=2008

 

 

 

[server]

 

address="127.0.0.1"

 

port=2002

 

 

 

[map]

 

directory="map"

 

 

 

[World]

 

WorldId=1

 

 

 

[db]

 

address="127.0.0.1"

 

user="gamma" //This should be your MSSQL Login (I used sa since it sets up the sa account for you when you install SQL and sa has all permissions)

 

password="l2online" //This should be your MSSQL Password

 

[setting]

 

;Country=0 KR

 

;Country=1 US

 

;Country=2 JP

 

;Country=3 TW

 

;Country=4 CN

 

Country=1 //Change this accordingly to what "CLIENT" version you allow to connect!

 

ExceptionMailing=false

 

MailServer=ncs-mail.ncsoft.co.kr

 

 

 

Change the following lines in l2server.ini under L2Server folder:

 

//Again, the same explaination from L2NPC.ini config applies here as well!

 

[LogD]

 

address="127.0.0.1"

 

port=3999

 

 

 

[CacheD]

 

address="127.0.0.1"

 

port=2006

 

 

 

[AuthD]

 

address="127.0.0.1"

 

port=2104

 

 

 

[petitionD]

 

address="127.0.0.1"

 

port=2107

 

WorldId=1 //Leave this as 1 if you don't plan to run multiple servers! WorldId = ServerId in lin2db (will be explained furtherdown). If they're not the same number, your server won't be connecting to the same gameworld or won't find one to connect to!

Setting up Database Scripts

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

 

Important! - If you are running MSSQL Server on the same machine that's hosting the server. Leave everything at 127.0.0. and 127.0.0.1!! The only time you would need to change this is if you're trying to connect to a different computer running Lineage 2 Chronicle One Server! You would then need to adjust it accordingly to that computer's IP!

 

 

 

Important!! #2 - If you already have an existing mysql db installed and are changing connection to connect to a different MSSQL Server (say to your friend's computer). You will need to update your MSSQL database information again. By doing this, make sure you export all your previous data! Because if you input the new IP changes, everything from the previous data will be lost! All character and account information are stored in lin2db and lin2world!

 

 

 

open lin2comm_new.sql under DBScript

 

 

 

find

 

set @conn_str = '127.0.0.' + @world_id + ''';''sa'';''l2online'

 

change 127.0.0. to the first 3 sets of numbers of your internal IP (If your internal IP is 192.168.0.121 then enter 192.168.0.)

 

change "sa" as your SQL database account

 

change "l2online" as your SQL database password

 

there are 3 lines you have to change

 

find

 

'SQLOLEDB', '127.0.0.1';'sa';'l2online'

 

change 127.0.0.1 to your internal IP

 

change "sa" as your SQL database account

 

change "l2online" as your SQL database password

 

there is only 1 line you have to change

 

save and close the file.

 

open lin2world_20040609_all.sql under DBScript

 

find

 

set @conn_str = '127.0.0.' + @world_id + ''';''sa'';''l2online'

 

change 127.0.0. to the first 3 sets of numbers of your internal IP (If your internal IP is 192.168.0.121 then enter 192.168.0.)

 

change "sa" as your SQL database account

 

change "l2online" as your SQL database password

 

there are 3 lines you have to change

 

 

 

find

 

'SQLOLEDB', '127.0.0.1';'sa';'l2online'

 

change 127.0.0.1 to your internal IP

 

change "sa" as your SQL database account

 

change "l2online" as your SQL database password

 

there are 2 lines you have to change

 

save and close the file

ip = your external IP

 

inner_ip = your internal IP

 

ageLimit = 0

 

pk_flag = 0 PK not allow; 1 allow

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

System INI Configuration

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

Go to your control panel (from start menu) then click the system icon, advanced tab, under performance click settings, then choose the advanced tab again and click the change button under virtual memory. Set Custom size with minimum set at 1024 and maximum set at 4096

 

 

 

You must do this to run all the NPC's.

 

 

 

Locate your boot.ini file in C:\ Drive. You'll need to change folder view setting to include hidden and system files or else you won't be able to find it.

 

 

 

Open C:\Boot.ini in notepad, the last line should look like:

 

 

 

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /nodetect

 

 

 

or something similar, add the /3GB tag at the end. It should look like this (if your line was the same as the line above)

 

 

 

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /nodetect /3GB

 

 

 

Reboot your computer

 

 

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

ASP Account Registeration System

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

Extract L2Asp.zip to your C:\Inetpub\wwwroot (or wherever you have as your IIS root directory, this is default)

 

 

 

If you don't have Internet Information Services installed. Then you'll need to find your Windows XP Pro CD. Go to Add/Remove Program and select "Add/Remove Windows Components" -Select Internet Information Services from the list and install it.

 

 

 

Open the conn.asp (from the directory that you just extracted to) with notepad and change the following:

 

ms_sql_server_host_addr = "127.0.0.1" //This should be set to your WAN IP. Leave it as 127.0.0.1 if you want to just manually make accounts on your computer for your friends.

 

 

 

sql_server_username = "sa"

 

sql_server_password = "l2online"

 

save and close the file.

 

 

 

Open control panel, click administrative tools, then double click Internet Information Services. Click on local computer then click websites. Right click default websites and go properties. Click on the documents tab and then the add button. Under default document name type index.asp then press OK. Select index.asp and use the up arrow to move it to the top of the list then press OK.

 

 

 

 

Close IIS and open internet explorer and type http://127.0.0.1 (where 127.0.0.1 is your internal IP)

 

Once the website comes up click register. Then enter a username and a password and click next.

 

 

 

You have now made an account on your server.

 

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Client Setup

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

Install your Lineage 2 Chronicle ONE Client (either download it or off a CD). Chronicle 2 Client will NOT WORK on C1 Private Server!

 

If you want things to be in english, install the US client and unzip l2cnpatch.zip, c2textures and l2cnmeshes.zip to your /System/ directory.

 

 

 

Unzip Fixed15-10-2004html.zip to your server directory (\L2server\html\) and overwrite all the files.

 

 

 

Extract l2decrypt.zip to your computer (doesnt matter where). Run the decrypter and decrypt the L2.ini file. Then open up L2.ini file with notepad.

 

 

 

"L2.ini"

 

 

 

MapExt=unr

 

EXEName=l2.exe

 

SaveExt=usa

 

Port=7777

 

Class=LineageWarrior.MFighter

 

ServerAddr=69.105.31.9 //Change it to your WAN IP

 

IsL2NetLogin=True

 

IsL2Console=True

 

IsL2Seamless=True

 

IsL2Projector=True

 

 

 

Change the IP to your WAN IP. The IP that's the same as NewAuth and the one in MsSql Lin2db Server entry.

 

 

 

Re-encrypt the file with v212 or v211 setting. Copy it to your Client's /System/ Folder and override the L2.ini file there. When you start up your client. Make sure you are using the L2.exe from the /System/ Folder and not the Lineage2.exe in /Lineage 2/ Folder

 

 

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Running the Server

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

Open the files in the following order.

 

 

 

L2LogD.exe

 

 

 

File DB = lin2log

 

login name = your SQL account

 

password = your SQL password

 

 

 

CacheD.exe

 

 

 

File DB = lin2world

 

login name = your SQL account

 

password = your SQL password

 

 

 

L2AuthD.exe

 

 

 

File DSN = lin2db

 

login name = your SQL account

 

password = your SQL password

 

 

 

PetitionD.exe

 

 

 

Server = (local)//or the name of the server for your MySQL Server Agent

 

login name = your SQL account

 

password = your SQL password

 

Database = petition

 

 

 

L2Server.exe

 

 

 

L2NPC.exe

 

 

 

Congrats with setting up your server!

 

 

 

If you want to free up some system resources. You can shutdown Petition Server once everything is fully loaded. Some people claim L2LogD Server is also not require to run. You can try shutting it down, but I don't recommend it, since CacheD, L2AuthD, L2Server, and L2NPC requires it when loading. L2Server.exe must be running on the same machine with L2NPC.exe! You cannot load them on seperate computers for some stupid reason!

 

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Setting up Administration Account / GM Characters

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

For this to work you must have created an user account.

 

 

 

Open SQL Server Enterprise Manager (start menu again), double click SQL Server Group, double click on your local server then click OK. Double click on databases folder and select lin2db. Click on tables then find user_account, right click on it and select Open Table then Return All Rows. Note the name and uid of the account that you want to make a gm.

 

 

 

Go back to databases and this time select lin2world. Click tables and select builder_account, right click select Open table then Return All Rows. Under account name enter the name of your character (that you noted before in user_account) and under default builder enter 1 and under account_id enter the uid you noted from user_account.

 

When you make a new character on this account it will have GM powers, the commands are located in script/BuilderCmdAlias.txt and are used //command so to disable invisible mode you would type in: //hide off

 

 

 

To give a current character GM powers, Go back to databases and select lin2world. Click tables and select user_data, right click select Open table then Return All Rows. All the character on the server will be listed, you can just change the builder value from 0 to 9 for any character you want to give GM powers.

 

 

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Editing the Server / Gameplay Properties

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

All the things you can edit are in the /scripts folder.

 

For EXP/SP/Adena rates and drops you can edit: npcdata.txt

 

For GM Commands you can edit: BuilderCmdAlias.txt

 

For Item stats you can edit: Itemdata.txt

 

For Blacksmith sell lists you can edit: multisell.txt

 

For NPC spawn locations you can edit: npcpos.txt

 

For Recipe information you can edit: recipe.txt

 

For Teleporters and store you can edit: ai.obj

 

 

 

Before you begin editting anything. A rule of thumb is ALWAYS BACK UP YOUR FILES.
