And I must add L2 is, by essence, not balanced. Simply see dvp pvp videos. So when ppl begin to do things like 1h buffs 24-28 buffslots always filled, ofc it won't be balanced, as L2 has never been meant to be played like that (2min buff is 2min for a reason maybe, and +16 enchant is hard to obtain because of a reason, but try to explain that...). Formulas simply can't stand high values.

I will totally agree with this.

Can't be more true..

And that's why in order to get a decent balance (ofc will never be "Full balanced" as many server owners says) you have to edit skills, formulas, etc based on the high enchants, the amount of buffs, the duration of buffs, the full enchantment and so on.

That's the easiest part

The easiest part is the coding.

 

Getting correct and accurate information was is and always will be the hardest part in any emulation of software.

The hardest part for a L2Classic project would be packet sniffing and reports from the actual L2Classic official server.

If people would do that then it would be a no brainer for me to try and make a L2Classic project.

Okay but what is hard about that? The packets are 100% same + few new, all you have to do is just switch the opcodes

That's not accurate in classic. The packets must be changed because essentially this is Ertheia client with modifications.

 

If i do have a good packet sniffer then i am probably good to go.

 

EDIT: I do have a ready source working with the classic client, if thats what you mean.

It is actually prelude with ertheia client, you know what right?

Well a bit of RCE in Engine then packet sniffing to get proper data if you fail to get it from engine and good to go.

That I would love to hear, really !

I'm interested if you can develop your statement (I don't feel concerned at all, but I'm curious about the answer).

I'm not talking about development, but server opening of course! Clients above h5 hava a max player pool of 50-100 and undoubtedly that decreases developing effort to zero?

 

Clients above H5 are so complex for the players to the extend that they prefer to play another MMO than L2. L2 was always preferred for its simplicity and mostly the nostalgia of the good old times.

 

Only 3 clients survived, IL, GF, H5 because they where original.

couldn't agree more,even though I have this specific opinion for clients above gf.

Well, that's a point, but I disagree with the cause.

 

To me the game changed so much that people were afraid to start it with non retail data cause they knew they would do crap and it's a lot of effort when L2J had a working version of H5.

 

What would have happen if L2J had follow in the private server ? I'm not sure afaik. Player on retail is still high and providing a server working well could work, at least I hope.

Everything is possible, as long you have the knowledge, time or money to do it.

 

As for most replies on this post... only thing comes to my mind.

I guess you are talking about the GoD++ mocking.

    • A question: I’ve had two servers that were downgraded from C6 to C4, and both would lag for players when they changed subclass, and almost every time the L2 server would crash. They say it’s a problem with the C5 skills that were added. Has anyone experienced this issue? The server would run fine without errors until people started changing classes. Has anyone gone through this and knows the solution to the problem?
    • L2jBayev Chronicle 3: Rise of Darkness – AiEngine Edition In short: this is a C3 build with a full-fledged AI engine, live mercenaries, a built-in quiz, a “personal account” in the Community Board, and server logic neatly distributed across thread pools. The project is about a living world without lags : bots farm, communicate, gather parties, teleport along routes, and the server remains cold and stable.   What's inside (the most delicious) 1) Full-fledged AI engine for characters Behavior types: farming ( FarmAI ), combat ( CombatAI ), party logic ( PartyAI ), trading/walking ( TraderAI / WalkerAI ), support roles (healer, etc.). Class profiles: for mages/archers/daggers, etc., “smart” skill rotations, distance control, sleep/save skills, healing, loot pickup, etc. are implemented (see examples of classes like SpellSingerAI , NecromancerAI , etc.). Self-healing and teleports: when dying, the bot goes through a sequence of steps without sleep()- via AITaskSequence + AITeleportToLocTask , searches for the nearest gatekeeper and teleports via TeleportationManager with routes depending on the level. Auto-support: auto-nipples, arrows/bones, smart auto-proceduring of buffs and auto-banks CP/HP/MP with thresholds - all sewn into the auxiliary EtcPlayersAi . Chat context: ChatManagerAi processes mentions, makes responses with delays (anti-flood), supports party chat and “human” reaction. Understanding: ChatManagerAi system  processes the dialogue, bots remember your aggression and insults, they start to respond less often to modern users, stop accepting or inviting to a group (party) and when it goes beyond the peak they will simply merge you, and every time they see you on the PC, there is an opportunity to measure more often, communicate respectfully and beautifully, in general, a “human” reaction. Why a player/admin needs this: bots actually “live”, farm and interact, and don’t just stand on macros. This is a great background for online and PvE action.   2) Mercenaries (Mercenary system) Full-fledged companion character : L2MercenaryInstance with its own MercenaryAI (movement, attack, support, consumables, shots). Behavior modes: DEFENDER / SUPPORT / PASSIVE - switchable to suit your playing style. Progress and trust: the mercenary's trust/exp/level grows , skills are learned according to the MercenarySkillTree (conditions are based on the trust or level of the owner). Templates and equipment: via MercenaryTemplateTable and spawner - model/weapon/type are selected. Social: MercenarySpeechManager - a set of speeches; the mercenary "comes to life" in the chat. Premium Link: Premium account owners give the mercenary additional trust (faster progress). Why: This is not a dummy pet, but a playful companion with modes, training and “character”.   3) Quiz (event viktorina ) Rounds according to schedule: pre-launch with announcements (minutes/seconds before start), registration .reg, auto-opening of the window. Multiple choice questions: question + set of answer buttons; fair processing, timings, question change. Tops and history: results table, statistics, neat UI via HTML assembly. Flexible control: you can start immediately or set a delayed start (notification package 5/2/1 min, etc.). Why: regular activity for players, “social entertainment” module right in the build.   4) Personal account in Community Board KB managers: buff cabinet, teleports, clans/forums/mail/friends, tops (PK/PvP/wealth/players), character repair, viewing skill trees , etc. Premium logic: some services/mail are limited by premium; premium also affects the visual (nickname color) and bonuses (see effect on mercenary). Single sign-on: all in one place, no team chaos. Why: conveniently manage your character and services without going into the console or installing third-party mods.   Why is the system technically valuable? Minimum load and stability Separated thread pools: AI logic, hunting, teleports, chat - on separate onesScheduledExecutorService ( AI_THREAD_POOL , MONSTER_HUNT_POOL , TELEPORT_POOL , CHAT_POOL ). No "freezing": task sequencers (teleport/recovery) work through the scheduler, not Thread.sleep(). Bot limitation: protection against overload via thresholds/counters - “extra” bots do not start. One bot - one sequence: AITaskManager ensures that the character does not have parallel conflicting tasks. Smoothing out peaks: starting tasks with offsets so that there are no simultaneous “ticks” of hundreds of bots. Monitoring/logs: own loggers (separate files for info/errors/processes/chats), CPU load monitoring. Bottom line: the build is designed for “thick online” and mass activities without TPS failures .   Additional Features Auto-alliances for farming: party logic invites suitable players (checking level/equipment/clan flags), there are “human” responses to requests. Sub/class management: out of the box helpers for changing class/subclass, auto-learning of necessary skills and selection of equipment by level. Security/protection: secondary PIN/picture password support (used in KB/voiced commands; optional). Premium accounts: privileges in KB/mail/visual and synergy with mercenary progress. Ready-made services: tops, auctions/mail, teleports from KB, buff rooms, repairs, viewing skill trees, etc.   Who is this build for? Freeshare/project admins who want a living world “from the pack”: bots and mercenaries provide a constant background of activity. Players who value convenience: personal account, premium services, events and a mercenary companion. Developers who want a clean, predictable backend with thread pools and a neat task model without “magic”.   How it differs from standard assemblies Not macros - AI profiles with “brains”: rotations, positioning, healing, decision making. Not a decoration pet - a mercenary with his own modes, progress, skill tree and lines. Not a faceless gamemod - an event quiz with UI, schedule, tops. No chaos in flows - strict pools, planning and task managers designed for online and growth. No separate scripts - a single personal account in KB for most activities.   TL;DR (one paragraph for the project card) AiEngine C3 is a build with live AI, smart bots, mercenaries (modes/progress/skills), built-in quiz, premium logic and a convenient personal account in KB. Under the hood are distributed thread pools and task managers without sleep(), so even with a dense online the server remains stable and responsive.   Additionally add - there is still a lot of interesting things command .assassin or shift+target (order murder), shift+target for admins on AI characters for control, admin panel is completely rewritten, many additional functions, mercenaries change their appearance depending on trust, deepseek and chatGPT system is connected for communication of characters like real players, GPT - for newer java, there is still a very large list of fixes after the last versions, a lot has been fixed, including height coordinates (Z) geo-Squares, pathfinding, visibility through obstacles, fix pet summons, trade packages, shop packages, many effects, quests (including the original ones like nipples, etc.), Ai behavior of NPC and RB monsters, absolutely all epics have been transferred to AiLoader no longer in python scripts. Attention! The server is suitable for both classic mode and PvP format, as well as with various mods. Absolutely everything is configured in the configurations to suit your taste and purposes of use. It is recommended to launch the server through L2ServerControl (simplifies management and control of processes).
