Reverse of L2LogD.exe is finished, all classes are defined, except for Memory allocator package. I'm exporting code and working to make it compile. I think, it might take next month or two.

This is in private repo so far, so PM me if you contributed, and want L2LogD sources earlier.

 

If someone wants try to reverse memory management unit - you are welcome, I can share IDA file (be sure you have some reputation, though). Otherwise, I think, I will use some 3rd party allocators (they are used for std and IO buffer pools in L2LogD)

Two branches were added: with changes for C1 and C4 client https://bitbucket.org/master_toma/lineage2-c1-harbingers-of-war/branches/

Tested with C1 Client and  C1 SINA server + C4 Client and l2server_fyyre.exe server.

Thanks smeli for help.

I found "hidden" feature in LogD.exe - performance monitor. perfmon.ini is needed to activate it. It checks for RAM usage, Processor's usage, etc, and adds results to DB

Original L2LogD.exe has problems with x64 PC (which I have). I'll fix it, but meanwhile could anyone check it on x86 PC? perfmon.ini file to be added in root, near to L2LogD.exe:

[PerfMon]
CheckPerfMon=1
Count=1
Interval=6000
Memusage=1

Perf1Title=Title
Perf1ObjectName=Processor
Perf1InstanceName=0
Perf1CounterName=% Processor Time

I'm working on BCP (bulk copy from log files to MSSQL server) feature from LogD binary. It has quite sophisticated logic, related on files from chat/ and in/ directories.

I would appreciate, if you could sent those log files for test purposes to master.toma87@gmail.com. I want to test different combinations. Ofc, all those data will be used confidentially

L2LogD source code will be ready on weekend. There will be also some minor but important fixes for PerfMonitor, ports, etc.

 

About 90% of binary is decompiled. However, I need some help here. What is not finished yet:
1. Memory allocator units (you have to be skilled enough, to define structures and provide proper names to members, variables and methods). 
2. More easier task. L2LodD.exe has 3-5 methods for parse item.dat, skills.dat, etc. I didn't touch this functionality yet, left it for volunteers. It shouldn't be complicated, since structure of those files is known, so it might be a good task for beginners (ofc, you have to be skilled in c++ still).
 

If you want to help me, I could send you my IDA database for L2LodD.exe. It contains all structures, renamed methods, etc. 

 

I will share sources (L2LogD and other in future) for all, who take participation.

During testing L2LogD, one more fix for origin L2AuthD.exe  was added:

https://bitbucket.org/master_toma/lineage2-c1-harbingers-of-war/commits/a7b736d7641348e7592e25c2018db5b338a6e5fc

 

Now L2AuthD.exe sends proper DB audit type for L2LogD. Looks like this bug in C1 AuthD was due to some incompatibility.

    • This post originally appeared on MmoGah.   Dear Exiles, here's a detailed guide for Path of Exile 3.26 Gauntlet, tailored for beginners and focused on the top 5 builds that balance survivability, damage, and ease of gearing in the Hardcore Solo Self-Found (HCSSF) environment. This guide goes deep into mechanics, gear, leveling, and strategy—no fluff, just actionable insights.       What Is the Gauntlet in PoE 3.26? The Gauntlet is a community-run event, often organized by Zizaran, which pushes players into a brutal version of the game:   ● Hardcore Solo Self-Found (HCSSF): No trading, no partying, no outside help. ● Global Modifiers: Increased monster damage, life, elemental penetration, extra projectiles, and more. ● Limited Portals: Only 3 portals per boss kill count toward points. ● Custom Ascendancies: In 3.26, the Fishia League introduces new ascendancy classes like Ancestral Commander and Servant of Arakali.   The goal? Survive, level up, kill bosses, and earn points for prizes. But first, you need a build that won't crumble under pressure.   Top 5 Builds for Gauntlet Beginners These builds are chosen for their tankiness, simplicity, and ability to progress through the campaign and early maps with minimal gear.   1. Raise Zombie Puppeteer (Necromancer) Why It Works: Minions absorb damage, keeping you safe. Scales well with minimal gear. Strong bossing potential with high zombie levels.   Core Mechanics: Uses Raise Zombie as the main damage source. Strength stacking boosts zombie power. Animate Guardian adds utility and buffs.   Defensive Layers: Minions tank hits. Block chance from gear and passive tree. Energy shield and life stacking.   Leveling Tips: Use Summon Skeletons and Raise Zombie early. Prioritize +minion gem levels and strength gear. Transition to spectres and Animate Guardian by Act 5.   Pros: Safe, ranged playstyle. Easy to gear in SSF. Strong boss damage.   Cons: Minion AI can be clunky. Damage may taper off in the late game without investment.   2. Power Siphon Mines (Scavenger Saboteur) Why It Works: Ranged mine playstyle avoids direct damage. One-button mechanics for comfort. Fast leveling and strong suppression.   Core Mechanics: Power Siphon linked to mines for remote detonation. Uses High-Impact Mine Support and Minefield Support. Cloak of Flames for early damage scaling.   Defensive Layers: High evasion and suppression. Life stacking and stun immunity. Arctic Armor and Flesh and Stone for mitigation.   Leveling Tips: Start with Stormblast Mine or Explosive Trap. Switch to Power Siphon at level 28. Use Smoke Mine and Flame Dash for mobility.   Pros: Safe ranged playstyle. Low gear dependency. Comfortable mechanics.   Cons: Mines require setup. It can feel clunky without proper gem links.   3. Ice Nova Archmage (Hierophant) Why It Works: Combines Mind Over Matter (MoM) with mana stacking. Strong AoE and single-target damage. Good defenses and smooth leveling.   Core Mechanics: Ice Nova cast on Frostbolt for double damage. Archmage Support scales damage with mana. Hierophant ascendancy boosts mana and endurance charges.   Defensive Layers: MoM absorbs damage via mana. High armor and resistances. Chill and freeze for crowd control.   Leveling Tips: Start with Holy Flame Totem or Rolling Magma. Switch to Ice Nova after Act 3. Stack mana and use Clarity early.   Pros: Strong defenses and damage. Scales well into the endgame. Beginner-friendly caster setup.   Cons: Requires mana management. Squishy if not geared properly.   4. Explosive Arrow Ballista (Ancestral Commander) Why It Works: Totems do the work while you stay safe. Easy to gear and scale. Great for campaign progression.   Core Mechanics: Explosive Arrow linked to Ballista Totem Support. Totems stack arrows for massive explosions. Ancestral Commander ascendancy grants endurance charges and slam synergy.   Defensive Layers: Totems absorb aggro. High life and resistances. Fortify from gear or ascendancy.   Leveling Tips: Use Caustic Arrow or Split Arrow early. Switch to Explosive Arrow at level 28. Prioritize attack speed and totem placement.   Pros: Safe, passive playstyle. Strong single-target damage. Easy to respec and adapt.   Cons: Totem AI can be slow. Requires positioning for optimal damage.   5. Lightning Strike Daughter of Oshabi Why It Works: High energy shield and shrine buffs. Converts physical damage to chaos. Fast, clear, and strong bossing.   Core Mechanics: Lightning Strike with pure energy shield gear. Oath of the Magi node doubles armor defenses. Ghost Dance for ES sustain.   Defensive Layers: 10,000+ energy shield. Suppression and resist caps. Stun immunity and chaos conversion.   Leveling Tips: Use Smite or Molten Strike early. Transition to Lightning Strike with ES gear. Stack shrine buffs and movement speed.   Pros: Tanky and fast. Handles tier 17 maps. Good for face-tanking bosses.   Cons: Requires ES gear early. Shrine RNG can affect consistency.   Beginner Tips for Gauntlet Success Campaign Strategy: Overlevel before boss fights. Cap resistances ASAP. Use movement skills to dodge mechanics. Practice Acts 1, 4, and 9—they're deadly.   Gear Prioritization: Life and resistances > damage. Movement speed on boots. Vendor recipes for gear upgrades.   Flask Setup: 1 Instant Life Flask 1 Granite Flask 1 Jade Flask 1 Quicksilver Flask 1 Utility Flask (e.g., Sulphur or Basalt)   Passive Tree Tips: Prioritize life nodes early. Take suppression and block nodes. Avoid complex mechanics—simplicity wins.   Mapping and Bossing Strategy Mapping: Use fast-clearing skills. Avoid risky map mods. Keep portals in reserve.   Bossing: Learn boss mechanics. Use Sniper's Mark or Assassin's Mark. Position mercenaries or totems strategically.   Final Thoughts The Gauntlet is unforgiving, but with the right build and mindset, you can push deep into the event—even as a beginner. Focus on survivability, learn from each death, and don't be afraid to restart. Every run teaches you something new.
