Hi there, so the last time I played L2 was when Gracia 2 was released. I was playing on a server a I have created with some friends (former owner of L2Queen in case anyone knows or remembers). Back then, I was really young and I couldnt do much since I wasnt educated enough and I had no experience with programming at all. I always wanted to build a server on my own so I decided to come back here and see whats up. If I am not mistaken, nowadays Lineage is dead pretty much and other games like League of Legends have all the traffic.

 

I have a really great storyline to base my Lineage server on but at this moment I dont have the time neither to start nor to focus on  a project and this is where I need your opinion.

 

Instead of creating a server I decided to create a Control Panel for the Lineage 2 servers and I will release it on the forums here when its done. I am willing to start working on this but at least I would like to know that someone is going to use my product and that I am not releasing it into a dead audience. 

 

Things I am thinking to include:

 

  • Register System (Including Activation)
  • Account Management
  • Character Statistics

I would really appreciate it if you posted your opinion and a few suggestions of what would you like to see in the project.

 

Sincerely,

George "Y-Less"

In all honesty it would be a waste of time since it has been done countless times before. I would much rather focus on contributing to l2jserver these sort of things because they are all for user friendlyness and the plug and play mentality.

How you mean? I may be mistaken but I was searching in the forums to see if a Control Panel exist and all I found was just a few guys selling their web development services. Didn't notice any open source product at all.

Because you only mentioned useless stuff like account activiton/creation. Besides that an l2 control panel would further increase the plug and play mentality which was always the downfall of l2j.

 

This may be harsh but 90% of the people who open servers should never even try to begin with. It is so easy i can teach it to my 6y old nephew easily in a week how to run a server it is so easy with all the available tools.

The problem with ACPs is that they require the player to be offline for most of the actions to happen.

 

A while ago i started coding a acp that connects to a restful api which runs inside the l2jserver, so that every action is instant and it uses actualy l2j code to execute, so the acp itself acts like the middleware.

 

Abandoned it as it doesn't really worth the effort (at least for the way i value my own time).

Bcs there isn't anything free. Only shared theengo acp with backdoors and for rdy acp, like demort, they ask ~200$ or so.

 

Just saw this ACP by demort. Looks good enough, moreover as .elfocrash mentioned account has to be in some kind of maintenance in order to make changes through the panel (didnt think of it). If this guy has this issue solved, he is the winner.

I didnt really know what to add, thats why I asked for your suggestions. It couldnt be that hard for me to develop a ticket or donation system. Regarding the startup servers, its not their fault. To be honest, I started my server using a compiled rev of L2jEqual (dont really remember the name, correct me if Im wrong) when I was 13. I selected  a few spots, created farm zones, added some items to the client and I added my server on HopZone. The first time it got rejected due to downtime, then I found a friend and he hosted my server on his computer. I was lucky enough and I got 50 players/hour online and a top of 150 players online.

 

Had no idea of programming, and after some time I realised that replacing NPC and making changes in-game doesnt really fix the bugs, and thats when I quitted because I couldnt support it anymore without programming. You shouldnt be able to start a server with a pre-compiled pack.

Listen mate, in my opinion, it is not that bad to work something for free once in a while. Indeed, it may be time consuming or it doesnt really worth the effort, but if I didnt have anything else to do, I would give it a shot. If you dont mind answering, which API did you use and what language are you using? PHP?

The server side API is Java SE and my website is written in .NET Core C#

I understand that and its good you did realize that. To tell you the honest to god truth because of the reasons i said before i see no use for such a tool maybe a mimic of the ingame admin panel but thats way too much work for little gains.

My opinion on this is to create something that you really want people to use.Something that will make their actions easier and something that can be used in order to provide them a better gameplay.Since Lineage 2 has lost its popularity and the traffic is nearly dead you have to consider that you are creating it for yourself first and then for the community.Don't worry about the use of it, even if a single person uses it , in my opinion, it worths the time.

      [SHARE] AutoBots - Lucera 2 - PvP & PvE (ext)

      By itzikos · Posted

      Update M54: Global HP/MP/CP consumable handling expanded beyond combat-only usage. Offensive mage idle recovery with learned skill Battle Heal. Spellhowler/Storm Screamer prioritizes Hurricane, using Vampiric Claw mostly below 90% HP. Major structural refactor initialized: Added category/class organization such as Archer, Dagger, Tank, Mage, Healer, Support and Specialized class files. Further structural cleanup. Extracted combat memory/state and more class-policy logic from the main controller. Added global stuck/inactivity watchdog for bots blocked by terrain/geodata. Added unreachable dropped ground-item timeout/temporary blacklist. Reworked Necromancer/Soultaker PvP: Dominator level 78+ maintains learned Arcane Power toggle on. Overlord/Dominator level 44+ maintains learned Soul Guard toggle automatically. Stability/scalability update: Bot controller ticks staggered instead of all starting in the same phase: Same 350 ms update rate retained Reduces simultaneous AI workload bursts. Removed the old manual aggressive-monster EVT_AGGRESSION bridge. Phantoms now use native Lucera setActive() behavior so monsters aggro them naturally. Reduced unnecessary NPC scans and native AI event pressure. Added saved-bot equipment overrides using a separate database table:         lucera_autobots_items Existing lucera_autobots remains the main saved-bot identity/state table. Equipment rows are linked to saved bots through bot_id. Added optional convenience view to show bot name together with equipment overrides:         lucera_autobots_items_view Added editable equipment slots in columns: Weapon Shield Helmet Chest Legs Gloves Boots Necklace Left/Right Earrings Left/Right Rings Equipment override values: 0 = use normal class/level profile item -1 = force slot empty >0 = equip that Item ID Custom equipment works only for saved database bots. Default class/level equipment profiles remain unchanged. Supports custom equipment from No Grade to S Grade, regardless of the bot's current level. Added validation for invalid item IDs and incompatible equipment slots. Added handling for: Two-handed weapons vs shields Full-body armor vs separate leggings Added all-grade Soulshots and Spiritshots to bot inventory/replenishment so custom lower-grade weapons still use the correct shots. Mage profiles that already use Blessed Spiritshots keep that behavior with all relevant grades available. First save the bot normally so it exists in table:         lucera_autobots Then open:         lucera_autobots_items Find the row with the same bot_id and edit only the equipment slots you want. Example: weapon_id = 6608 shield_id = -1 helmet_id = 0 chest_id = 0 legs_id = 0 gloves_id = 0 boots_id = 0 This means: weapon_id 6608 → custom weapon shield_id -1 → no shield all 0 values → keep normal default profile equipment After editing the DB, despawn and respawn the saved bot so M54 reloads its equipment overrides. Do not edit bot_id. Use it only to identify which saved bot the equipment row belongs to.   DOWNLOAD

      Good job! Any chance for it to be downgradeable or at least compatible with older chronicles?
