Roles & Features For L2 On Win 08


Question

Posted (edited)

Hi kind peeps, I'm new to this, so the first suggestion I'm inclined to hear is whether its important to pick certain Win Server 08 Roles and/or Features for the optimal functionality of L2Off platform. Basically I'm curious if there are programs that would enhance the Live Server experience in any meaningful way. Thanks in advance

I can't speak for VG pack specifically but you should not need to install any additional roles onto the machine.

Just make sure you have all the latest updates and security patches for MSSQL and the OS.

MS seems to only release SQL updates purely as service packs so just grab the latest.

Install all the .Net's manually though, then just grab the updates and security patches though WU.

 

General security advice:

- Disable Windows Firewall and get a real piece of gear to handle protection. Mikrotik is great though there is a bit of a learning curve if you're not familiar with networking.

- Block all inbound ports to the server except Auth and L2Server.

- Allow RDP access but only from specific IP's. Better yet use NAT to change the port to something silly.

- Log all outbound connections from the server.

- Do NOT run the registration system on the machine. Run it somewhere else and filter / proxy the connection.

Yet undecided, leaning towards Vanganth IL ext, I'm currently playing around with his older release. 

You don't need to install much beside vc++ redist 2005/2008/2010. It works fin on win8 or winserver 2012. Recomanded is win2k8 for more stability.

Many thanks to both of you folks.

 

@tk422, I'm grateful for your insight regarding network security. Concerning the last peace of advice about registration system, are you only talking about web account manager, or something from the server files as well?

The best case scenario would be this:

- Write a rest API that runs on the same network as your game server(s) that handles / abstracts the various potentially dangerous tasks.

    ( Account Creation, Activation, Item Delivery, etc)

- Open the port the API runs on to your webserver but set the scope to ONLY talk to your web server's IP.

- The web server should only talk to your rest API. Never to anything sensitive.

 

Player > Web Server > API > Scary L2 Shit :P

 

 

Assuming the API is resilient and secure enough you now have a very minimal attack surface.

I wouldn't go crazy with SSL between the API and the web server. No one can touch the traffic anyway

... unless your web server gets haxxed. :D

 

 

Definitely set up notifications and make sure to keep very comprehensive logs.

Thats pretty clever, but the problem is, I don't know s**t about REST API  :poker face:  Thanks for your input anyway.

Just stay with account manager/registration manager out of server . Host in another place. As tk422 say , is pretty risky to host on same pc because can be many injections trough sql or other. Beside that . Never open port 2012 on outside. Is cached admin port.    :)

    • The bot video lasts 35 minutes and not everything is shown there, if everything was shown, the video could have lasted several hours. Also, the video quality is reduced so as not to take up much space.The last minutes of the video show bots attacking each other on the event. https://dropmefiles.com/1jMi2
    • We also forgot to say that the deal will be the way you want it, we are ready for almost any of your demands. And we ask the administration to review our post as soon as possible, because several hours have passed and it still hasn't passed moderation, thank you in advance!

    • Good day to all! We present to your attention our source code h5, where several projects used and achieved very good results, both in terms of online and in general for the project. (Due to confidentiality, the list of projects, the test server and what the basis of the source code will be provided only to real buyers, where they can go and check them out)   The main feature is bots, which are very animated, one to one like real players. But, in addition to bots, the build has a lot of interesting and modern things. Below will be a video showing bots and a little about the server.   As we said, the build was used on several projects, so the first thing that is there is not a single backdoor on the server, all serious and critical errors have been fixed. Races and classes are closer to the official PTS platform.   And also the server can be used as a classic server, as well as a server with add-ons, because the server has added many new things, weapons, armor, jewelry, hats, cloaks, etc.   The server has a full working community board (alt+b), working locations, quests, geodata, mechanism, working ai, in general there are no problems and complaints. In alt+b, shops, various services, buffer, player statistics, clan statistics, mail, profession change, personal account, registration for events, etc. are available.   Additional services: Premium account, visual costumes, nickname change services (for yourself and your pet), nickname and title painting service, karma/PC cleaning, expand services, weapon/armor/jewelry sharpening service, level up and down service, nobles purchase service, beauty salon (new hairstyle change from higher chronicles and face change), additional window purchase service, clan reputation purchase service, weapon augmentation purchase service.   Internal services: auto potions (acp), referral system, repair services, automatic reward delivery after n. time, additional auction, and other working systems, also many available commands, such as: exact date of epic respawn, password change directly inside the game, offline buffer, auto att, registration for castle sieges directly by entering a command and other available commands.   The server has protection (both on the server side and on the client side) that protects against free software and also several other anti-bot systems that will not give the slightest chance to bot users. But if you want people to use software, you just turn it off.   Bots. As we said, one of the main features of our server is bots, they are one to one like real players, now a little about bots and below is a link to a video about how they work: Server bots are like real players, their AI is copied from the AI ??of real characters, and therefore they get what real players get and you can also do with them everything that can be done with real characters.   They write in chats, in all chats, trade, shout, pm, clan chat, general chat. They walk around the cities, level up, farm, kill each other in pvp and pc, put on weapons, armor, jewelry, sharpen weapons. According to their level, they will choose their professions, join clans, participate in different events, use alt+b services - I'm telling you, their AI is copied and adapted like a real player's AI, so they can do everything that a real player can.   Bot control: You can set a chat and words for bots, how often or rarely they will write in chats, you can control where and how the bots will level up, you can control what events they will be at, you can control what cities they will run in, you can control where they will stand, you can even call them to you and that's not all, they are completely in your hands and you can twist them as you want. The bot video lasts 35 minutes and not everything is shown there, if everything was shown, the video could have lasted several hours. Also, the video quality is reduced so as not to take up much space.   You can check the rest yourself on the test server and we will fully show you everything that bots are capable of and you will be surprised)   Now about the price and a little about our work and what is included in this price. We do not sell only the build, we sell the source code in its entirety, so that you can adapt something for yourself. The price of the source code: 15,000 euros. What is included in this price: 1. We do not have a license, you buy it once and you can use it for the rest of your life. 2. There is no online limit and there is also no limit on running bots, the server can support as much online and bots as your VDS is powerful. 3. Client-side protection. You will not pay extra for protection, the source code already has everything. 4. All builds that we have created for projects that bought the source from us (they have ready-made servers, with their own ready-made concepts, configs, different alt+b designs, for different rates x1, x10, x20, x50, x100, x1200, x5000, there are also servers for classics and servers with add-ons, they all have configured bots for their servers) all this will be included in this price. You will receive all the builds of these projects. 5. Once a year we update and improve the source, we will also improve the bots, make different paths for them, different farming places, and revive them more and more, to get them you will have to pay 20 euros to get the updates. 6. You will receive all the bot settings from our first projects to the last, the video shows little, our last configured bots are almost indistinguishable from real players and you will see this yourself on the test server or later. (Our last setup and development of bots lasted 11 months and these works and what bots can do cannot be described in words, you yourself must see them to feel this work and power) 7. We will teach you how to control both the server and training on setting up and controlling bots. 8. We will provide you with VDS for 3 months and if necessary we will help you as much as we can until the first launch of your project! 9. Our bots move, they don't stand in one place, they walk around the cities and use a teleport, after the teleport they move on to the farming place in random places. They communicate in the chat and if you hit them, they can hit you back. They are in almost every city and farming location, near many key NPCs, instance zone managers, etc. They are automatically updated and move around the cities and farming zones. They attack those who have a flag and those who is pk. These are simply unique bots that can help you in terms of your online and your project in general! 10. As we said, our latest bot development lasted 11 months and we made 92 new farm zones for bots, more than 150,000 new paths for all locations, different methods of dressing their equipment, different methods of their behavior and more than 40,000 universal words in the chat, in different languages, where no one can even doubt that these are bots!
