Mostly To L2J Developers

[Aphelion]

Hello,

I mostly wrote your names because I know how professional you are in these matters of L2J.

 

I would like to start learning coding, fixing, understanding the language and add some new stuff such as commands, custom items/classes,etc. 

 

I don't know how to start.. I've seen some youtube tutorials in order to learn Java but I don't know if I should start from there. 

 

Also, if you could.. tell me how did you start learning/coding in Java, etc. 

 

How many hours per day should I spend in order to learn coding commands,etc.? And in how much time? (2-3 months or ?)

 

These  are all my questions, hope you can help me by answering them

 

Thanks to everyone else who is gonna spend a little time to answer here.

I've read everyone's reply. 

 

But I see a conflict between elfocrash and Voqus about the tutorials, etc.

He was suggesting that you go to l2jforum and start from there but  since you dont even know the java basics yet i suggest you to start from that tutorial.

That's my suggestion though, wait for other replies and cross them out.

okay thanks to all of u! 

 

whoever wants to add more suggestions, he is welcome!

Screw that tutorials.. :D

 

Well, like most of us (I guess), start by applying small (various) patches (codes), try to understand what you're doing, what that all methods means/do, explore the source, you know :P

There are extensive answers here : http://www.maxcheaters.com/forum/index.php?/topic/169374-request-klownladge/

 

That thread should be merged with the other.

 

About the time needed, it entirely depends of what you currently know about general programmation concepts, L2J project and Java itself. It can go from 3 months up to 1 year.

 

More you code, better it is. If you begin to put barrier of time while you didn't even begun, then you should think about another fun activity. The same for drawing, piano, etc.
