I just wanna address something because I'm tired of replying to the same question over and over again.

During the past 6-12 months everyone in the forum and their grandma has pmed me asking me to sell them a Fake Players Engine i showcased a while ago.
I refused every time saying that I'm done with l2j stuff. However people have been offering decent amounts of money to buy something like that.
As far as I'm concerned I don't play L2 anymore so i couldn't care less, but there is something I like more than materialistic stuff. MONEY.

So yeah even though i think it is pathetic that this is what it has become of that lovely game i spent countless hours, i decided to profit off of it on this way.

However I won't launch something that i don't think meets some quality standards.
I spent the weekend developing the bare-bones of the engine, random player generation, developing some basic AI (movement, following, attack) and stress testing the server to see how far i can go.

Some if the features i have in mind

  • Full fake player control panel in the admin area with
  • Generation of a fake player from the panel with specific configuration
  • AI Intelligence levels
  • Taking control of a fake player and moving it through your admin player
  • Fighting patterns
  • Automatic player generation
  • Save bots
  • Minimal communication
  • The ability to extend the AI system by writing your own behaviors as a developer

Just give me some time and you will get what you want.
Feel free to discuss. (Again i don't support this idea so don't take the piss. It is just a supply and demand thing)

At least be honest with yourself... If you do it, that will be for money. Therefore it's a marketplace topic.

What are you on about?

No i am not selling anything yet.
Yes i will start selling it when it's in a good stage.
No this topic has nothing to do with selling it and it is all about discussing a topic.

If you mean my PoV about the feature, I wouldn't make it to create bots (most people fight bots, that's not to get some), but to make evolved AI to make the world more alive. Hunting, mercenaries, scouts of countries scouting others, merchants traveling with guards and such stuff, which would match better the point to make such feature rather than getting pointless bots doing things worst than regular bots.

But well, people are idiots so simply code what idiot people with money want.

Pretty much my whole point. I do agree that it is sad to see where l2 ended up, but people don't wanna see npcs fighting. They wanna see people fighting even if they are not real. Meh, what can you do..

About fake players, I would simply extends intention/desire system to handle more actions, and would add a "goal/objective" intention, which would lead the behavior. If it's leveling, the point is to go to a hunting zone and kill what is around the player level. If it's "trade", the bot goes on a town and go on sell mode with current inventory stuff. Etc etc.

Dear god, because 80% of admins, are taking shared codes or fail projects like L2-scripts and try open a server mean the whole community is bad? What does the "ended up" means? There are people who are interest in game more than money. So basically you some and say "L2 is dead anyway, i'll help it get even worst. "

Reconsider of what you're trying to do, sell an engine that many people requested from me also but i denied knowing that it will ruin the community even more.

I find the intention system quite broad in a sense. Not quite how I really want the system to work. I want the player to have many intentions at a time and also multiple objectives. I built a general system to do that and then change intention based on the IQ of the bot. Will showcase some of it in the near future.

Mate, the difference is i can deliver it. I don't care about the community or the game. If people want it they can have it.

Neither i care for the community or the server when i sell a code but is about the "silly" idea behind it. 

PS. if you need any help you can pm me

Why extend it? You just check the object in thinkActive()

Don't play the idiot, by extend I mean... Improve, evolve. Not "extends" java keyword.

And you can't "extends" an enum.

      Are Lineage 2 Players waiting for the next server listing?

      By L2LIVEpro · Posted

      From my personal experiences 🙂   Few months ago I decided to create my own Essence project. Project needs website, and I do not specialize in frontend development (t.y. i can make web work, but it won't be pretty for eye). So I search and find a guy in Discord, which claims he can make me a good looking HTML website for 30 EUR, prove some screenshots from his previous work. I agree. 1 week later, I get my HTML website, make few changes to contents, update URLs and upload it to FTP. Site looks good, I am happy that this headache is no more.   Few months passes. I randomly crawl through other Essence server websites scouting for good ideas for my own project. Suddenly one of russians project website opens and.. it's the same website as one I have 😉 perfectly absolutely same layout, colours, etc etc etc. I contact my guy to ask what the hell, to get blocked 😉  So I find a weekend worth of my time. Find HTML5 boilerplate generator and ask it to include Bootstrap 5 and some other stuff. Open Bootstrap documentation, drink two energy drinks on instant and start working my backend-inspired HTML black magic... Once I found suiting firefly effect for header, result looked oikay for me: Absolutely no magic or beauty here, but: * Unique (and probably nobody cares to rip it) * Done for free in ~10 hours by non-frontend dev * Most modern browsers friendly * Completely static content, loads instantly. No PHP at all * Sidebar statuses (online, pvp, pk) are pulled from account manager REST API endpoint and is cached for 5 minutes. Account manager runs separately from website frontend and has access to server DB. Where could/will it get better? * Code in Vue instead of HTML - time concerns only, but Vue is superior compared to HTML/PHP for supporting desktop/mobile, easing development by miles. Need to learn how to use it properly. * Way to manage content from backend - in my instance I think account manager is not really meant for that. Vue can help here too - there are components for content building. * Currently default Bootstrap components are used. Would be nice to have custom and more vibrant buttons. Guess what, Vue can help here too.   tl;dr don't buy 30EUR website, it will be ripped or shit. you better make your own website. Be curious. I am backend developer, I obviously have general idea how frontend works. But imho everyone who can make L2 server by editing NPC HTMLs, also can make their own simple website. ChatGPT and other AIs are your friends. Bootstrap. jQuery documentations are your friends. And when you feel good and comfortable with HTML, if you like, you can continue learning Vue, or going backend. Now, as for the top sites. You really need to invest money to make new project work. I mean really, really much money. For this concept to work, top website itself must get visited. But if you can sort that your top site would be popular amongst players, then it's a really very simple concept, as far as current 2004-ish sites goes. I think simple, working concept of this, maybe without proper frontend, but with implemented backend logics (add/edit/disable server, sort by votes count (top list), vote for server with verification, callback to server endpoint - all of that can be done using Symfony in mostly 5 days, with lots of breaks for coffee and a smoke 😉. Experienced mid frontend dev would make a Vue/React frontend for it in another 5 days. it's really really simple concept 🙂
