Introduction

 

This has taken me over 30 hours of work because I had to learn how to do it all from scratch. So, thanks to Mac for the patience on answering a lot of dumb questions for months and CriticalError for giving me one advice that led me to finding out how to get one annoying file to work.

 

I wanted to make a beautiful package, with my vision of a nice lobby + loading screen, but it seems that on this community you mostly only get "help" if you pay for it. Seeing as this is "fluff" and "cosmetic" only, I'm releasing this without it.

 

I wanted to make the client seem timeless, so I was removing the "The Chaotic Throne" below Lineage II in the lobbyand editing the Loading Screen. Doing as I say, you will get a nice lobby - it seems that for some reason the lobby has day/night and etc if you use the Gracia Final file for it (which is my fav, but again, this is fluff)

 

Preview of the loading screen (it's getting too bright in-game and I can't remove the Useful Information):

So, what is this pack?

 

Let's explain it as server side and client side and the reason why I chose those specific clients.

 

Why Freya? Because it's the latest version of l2 that had files leaked - the scripts. Gracia Final is the latest full-server that leaked - and without any bugs that I know of using the MXC extender.

 

People who wanted to, whatever reason, have new items or skills in their game, not paying for a license (aka me) could.

 

Have in mind this is not even remotely close to an extender, I simply added skills and items. You don't have any new systems at all.

 

This is more of a bonus to your server or a "taste" of the new content so that you can buy an extender and not have to use my files at all.

 

Also, every comparison will be from Gracia Final (intended client to use this on) and Freya.

 

On the client side I have adapted every .dat file that was necessary to make EVERY FREYA Skill, item (weapons, armor and misc) to work on Gracia Final protocol 83 and 87 clients (for epilogue u'd need to match some synthax again). The NPC .dat file is also modified to work, but I did not touch this on the server side.

 

How did I do this? I had to match EVERY fucking header from the necessary .dat files. Armorgrp.dat for example is a fucking bitch as it has over 500 headers. Same for weapongrp, etcitem, skillgrp, npcgrp....Then I had to pray it worked and if it did, test if stuff was actually good.

 

So yeah, this sucked and took a lot of time.

 

To use this, you simply must copy every Freya folder into your GF installation, but not the maps (you could, but seeing as some maps are different, like the mithril mines entrance is closed and you don't have the correct geodata) or the system.

Then you copy the .dat files into your system folder. Pretty simple.

 

On the server side (THIS IS L2OFF) of things I have modified the necessary script's synthax to make it work with the server. This wasn't so bad as I based myself on the scripts modifications done by rpgtown.ru. The problem was that they only added new things, not modifying old ones. So, for skills, you had every old effect (no chance to crit, lower power and etc) and not the new effects.

 

So I had to go thru patch notes, compare the leaked freya scripts with the GF scripts, then add the differences.

 

Those skills, ACTIVE AND PASSIVE, that had differences in power/chance to crit/are new, are SEPARATED in the skilldata file, in a new tab. I removed the old ones from their default place, and added it in the end as you will be able to see. I found this organization to be easier for you to see what's different.

 

(I also commented out the holy_pomander skills in the skillacquire file, in the beginning of it, as the system doesn't exist in GF). You also won't get the new enchantskill menu as ur using the GF client - you enchant the old way, using the npc.

 

So, what is new? First, 3 pictures:

On the first image you can see the Elegia Set Heavy Set+ s84 weapon being used. you can also see the new skill Boost Morale. You can also see some new items on the inventory.

On the second skill you can see the Moirai Robe set + Archaengel sword and the new fireworks from Freya buff, that increases stats.

You can see the new xmas event item that increases the chars vitality and the Evas Circlet - from an event that happened on Epilogue - it gives u the zerk skill (kind of) to self buff if u wish.

 

 

 

So, let's talk features:

 

It has everything on the patch notes, so please read them (skills and items only)

 

http://legacy.lineage2.com/epilogue/patch-notes.html

http://l2.eogamer.com/wiki/Freya_Patch_Notes

 

The pack has every new item from GF to Freya. So, it has, in synthesis (as it's like 2k+ items)

 

New Weapons

New armor sets (moirai, elegia, vorpal)

New jewelry

New "premium items"

New xmas event items

New world cup items

(every new event item/misc that Ncsoft added)

Every new item and etc...

 

Just check the Patch notes from Epilogue and Freya - it has all of that.

 

Every new skill:

 

Every new itemskill effect, new spellbooks (like create item level 10)

The new vanguard skills (active and passive)

Updates to Power/Critical Chance of skills

Every new enchant route with its effects updated to match freya

(Higher magic resistance, higher mp regen with focus mind)

Every new skill and etc...

 

Again, I'm not a good seller, just see the patch notes, it has EVERYTHING from there, except the CP boost for the chars.

 

Have in mind that I didn't add the npcs on the server side as u'd need new geodata and new AI - matching the scripts is easy, doing the AI isn't and I wouldn't go that far - buy an extender - a good one.

Maybe you will find this useful and download it. I did this for me, but in case anyone would want it,I published it because I wouldn't lose anything by doing so.

 

If there's anything wrong with the pack, please lemme know, as I've just separated the files to upload them and I didn't check it.

 

See you.
