Donation


Recommended Posts

Why every server keep calling them 'Donation' when, as a matter of a fact, you buy a certain item for in-real currency.

Same way when you pay NCSoft to buy In-game currency (NCoin) which you use in their marketplace.

 

Definition of donation according to wikipedia:

A donation is a gift given by physical or legal persons, typically for charitable purposes and/or to benefit a cause.

Pretty self explanatory if you can speak English. Typically for charitable purposes or the benefit of a cause.

The cause is the server. 

Just like many donations in the word that reward you for donating, lineage2 donations reward you with in game items.

 

I recently backed a project in kickstarter.com which is basically donating to the company of the project and the company rewards me. 

 

It makes sense.

They dont want to sell anything. No sell - no legal obligations of any kind: they dont have to offer refund right and so on.

 

Its easier to call it donation and give something as reward. Yes is basically a sell but its way different in essence.

Should the donations be used to make some sort of profit out of the project?

This is the main reason why there are so many private servers out there.

Also their customers donators are more encouraged in giving to the server owner money, cause they think 100% of the money earned are used on the server.

It doesn't, but as a "thank you" you might give something in return. Besides the handshake and smile. :P

Just a bad coincidence that the gifts exchange happen right after the owner gets the money  :dat:

If you give something in return, then you actually bought it, and for sure most of the remaining players are buying the said item.

 

 

 

I guess it is something legal so the one who spent the money cannot actually ask a refund.

They call it "donation", because there was a server in the past, which made tens of thousands from selling in-game stuff, and has been closed by FBI. So, they decided to call it donation, but this word has nothing to do in the current situation with those greedy uncappable idiots. :lol:

No "reward" in exchange, no donations. Period.

Its obvious that noone is gonna open a server ,and pay the maintance/dev/profit for time spend.The only way to make money its donation i guess.So,

if the problem lies between if someone actually worth the time spend in the server and the donation or not...

Most of the servers/admins dont deserve a single cent,so...

Its way too obvious what happens here,and there is no reason to even discuss it anyway

 

 

P.S When someone makes a charity into Unicef,i never heard of getting an african kid as a reward... Just saying

    • Trustworthy person; hope you find what you're looking for!
    • Customs being added to systextures/animation/texture influences the increase in virtual ram by a very small amount, which means you won't have a headache in the future with critical error issues, unless it's a dubious custom, there are 2 custom weapon packs available for H5 that are "compromised", they didn't make a very good adaptation, one of the packages is the weapons from the goddess of destruction for H5, another is the hero weapons from the goddess of destruction for H5, avoid these customs for your H5 server if you see it on any forum.   Now coming back to your question; one thing that the NCSoft developers never did was add files to their system, probably because they were aware of what could happen when doing that, now think about one thing: the game's system retail itself is no more than 70MB, every time there was an update made by NCSoft they always added the equipment/items/cloaks etc. in their folders intended for that, so why do we do this? I still have my client containing a system with almost 1GB, 1-2h online is the time I can stay online before the ram memory limit, but I have already redone my entire client with customs being destined for textures/systexture/animations, almost all the customs that I had on that client containing a 1GB system I have on my current server, with the difference that I removed everything from the system and critical error is now nothing more than legends, my current server has a total of 220MB in the system folder And theoretically speaking, based on what I've seen, especially on many forums, I believe that the heavier the system folder is, the faster we accelerate the consumption of the client's virtual ram memory, causing countless different types of critical error in one short period of time, in many forums that I've seen on topics involving critical, the solution that stands out the most is about downloading a new clean "system"
    • Do you think that everything on the system is loaded regardless if you use it or not ? or even worst, are they loaded even if they exist as textures/meshes but not defined on the DAT files ?

    • Yes, it is, it's not hard to do (if you know what you're doing); just time consuming.   To make some things clear: 1. You can not create .ukx files with animated skeletalmeshes inside, by using any of the freeshared L2Editors (basically, no support for .psa files) 2. You need a patched UT2003/UT2004. You can either get your own ut2004 and download Gildor's patch from his web, or use any of these: When you use these, you should be able to import both .psk and .psa animations > link the skeletalmesh to the psa > save as .ukx > use ut2down to convert the file to l2 format > encrypt the .ukx with standard l2 encryption (you can use mxc encdec, you can find it in the folder of the l2editor i shared). Your best bet is to use pawnviewer (aka dev mode) to test that. If you have troubles with that process then leave a reply here, otherwise, if it works correctly, you can move on to adding missing animnotify classes to you unrealed, then proper animnotifies, sounds, effects or w/e is missing from your .ukx files. Keep in mind that this is overall not difficult but a huge amount of work (unless you're good at scripting/macros) since you'd need to manually re-create every single animnotify, by hand. If you have doubts or i wasn't clear enough let me know here. (in case you don't know what an animnotify is: UDN - Two - AnimNotifies (unrealengine.com) )
