I wrote bunch of scripts for l2t but some things are blocking me so I'm investigating alternatives.

Some of features I would like to be already implemented (or API to accomplish it writing custom scripts should be provided)

I don't mind to spend hours and days learning new language/API to make these things but I need confirmation that such functionalities can be implemented.

 

1. creating private store AND detecting when everything is bought/sold

2. skill enchanting (C6)

3. buying items from multisell (gm) shop

4. sending messages to friend chat channel and/or detecting received ones (also friend chat)

5. accepting summon request

6. targeting objects that can't be targeted using /target but user is forced to manually click on them (for example doors inside pagan temple)

7. displaying custom messages on screen but that are actually letting mouse clicks pass thru their containers (when using custom systemmsg-e.dat you can't rotate camera if mouse pointer is behind message text being rendered and that's good enough reason not to use it)

8. preemptive threading support when working with custom scripts (I just hate lua's coroutines)

9. auto crafting

10. ability to recover after client crash/disconnect (for example detecting disconnects, pausing scripts, starting client again, login in..)

 

The last one probably requires writing something that goes out of scope of most of boting tools but who knows maybe I'm lucky and this is already implemented and waiting for me on cloud to grab it.

 

Yes, l2t have PacketBuilder but that's too low level for my taste and I prefer that someone else take care about server implementation details and provide me with some friendly API.

 

As matter of fact I'm interested in alternative, free or premium, that can accomplish at least one if not all of these requirements.

Pretty much everything can be handled with NP scripts, assuming you run NP on the same comp as the client, but afaik Robot and similar classes generate synthetic events, and these are discarded by default (unless you patch your client in a specific way). So the auto-relogin would be harder to do.

 

But of course, you have to write all the code yourself, since NP has very limited support for manipulating stuff in game logic terms instead of low level stuff.

    • Short version: took Vanganth's classic Interlude pack as the starting point and rebuilt the rest on top of the Classic Secret of Empire client (protocol 166).   Stuff that got reworked, but not limited to: The AI is the one I'm proudest of. ~600 individual NPC behavior scripts, all parsed and verified against retail. Aggro range, follow logic, target switching, idle pattern, social actions. All behaving the way they do on the official server, not the way "close enough" L2J packs usually do. ~2,5k skills loaded, full enchant tree, soul crystal absorption rules. Every formula in Formulas.java and StatFunctions.java got rewritten to match retail. Geodata is not excluded. NPCs/spawns, 6k+ templates, 28k+ spawns, all raid bosses, all the standard event content (Olympiad, Seven Signs with Festival of Darkness, Castle Sieges, Clan Hall stuff, Fortress sieges, Dimensional Rift, Four Sepulchers, Cardiff Invasion). all quest scripts. The engine itself runs both Interlude (protocol 740–770) and Secret of Empire (166) off the same codebase, opcode-mapped. The thing I want to be clear about: this is as close to PTS as L2J realistically gets. Most, not all, L2J packs out there have approximated formulas, stub AI, patchy geodata, hardcoded raid scripts. We didn't take that route.   When can you actually play it:   Server most likely opens next year. If I get more dev time over the coming months a beta by end of this year is realistic, possibly earlier. No promises, depends on how much time I can put in.   The server is already playable since the most important work is done. So if you'd like to collaborate, you'll be able to test it fairly soon. The server files are really good. You might even want to use them for your own server if we decide to go that route.   Server tiers being considered: Low-rate retail - the flagship, most likely first server. Strict PTS. Mid-to-high rate, minimal customs - almost certainly happening as a second server. More accessible but the engine integrity stays. Old L2Finest pride-style (high-rate, heavy customs, the original flavor some of you remember) - very low chance and definitely not soon. It's on the list but well behind the first two.   That's where we are. More updates as open beta gets closer.
    • Maybe some NPC is causing the problem for you, if you don't have a custom map, keep a backup of the database and remove the npc 1-1 to see where the problem is coming from. A custom npc is probably the problem. I had this problem before and searched a lot to find it.
