Help Some Beginner's Questions.

[Kukiman]

Hello,
Lately I have got interested in some l2 developing and all the stuff connected with it. I have been reading all the guides about setting your own L2server, watching the tutorials etc., but I still have many problems, unfortunately with some of the most basic things. :-\ :-[
I have been playing L2 for ~7 years so I have quite a big experience and do know something about L2, but it's my first attempt into developing, and so far - I'm not doing as good as I expected.
I don't want to posta topic after topic with some very basic questions, so I am kindly asking if there is any person who could help me a little bit, and answer my newbie questions through the PM system or contact via skype or any other communicator, I would be really grateful!
Thank you in advance :)

You will ask much on pm or skype, so you can do it here as well. It's a community forum, at least should be.

 

Many questons, many pov's. So, just ask.. :P

Well, let's start then... :)
I would like to start developing it for myself, learn all the basics by setting up a server on my own home pc, just to get around with the things etc. The chronicle I am interested in is Hi5, but I am not really sure where to get all those Hi5 files from, ( I don't want to use links of other websites here), so is there any good source apart from l2js....com ? Should I use the one from one of the mxc topics (which is updated almost everyday)?
Mega newb question below!! :okey:
When I open the links from that mxc topic all I get is white screen with some sentences in blue (I can click on them, and open them - but I have no freaking idea how to download them or what am I supposed to do with them - [those links to be clear])...

Offtop:
In advance: Yes, I have read the guide "how to set up your own L2 server", I have seen all the videos about "how to compile" etc., I just cannot download the files, and yes once more - there are people who have been playing L2 for many many years and still know nothing about developing, so it may seem quite impossible for such a person to be a newb in developing etc., but unfortunately I have never tried it before - and now I think it's about the time, and please keep in mind - everyone started from zero :unsure:

There is no need to hide the l2jserver name, it's okay :D

 

Well, I'd say stick/use l2jserver, it's the best option. About those links, it's a SVN link used to download the sources. You must use Eclipse in order to download / manage / edit them :)

 

There is a wiki @ l2jserver, so you can follow it, there is everything how to download sources, complie and such.

There is more articles @ wiki, but I don't rly know the link. I'm not l2jserver user, but I saw it few times :P
