Interlude on WS2008R2


Question

Posted

Introduction:
I've been playing with Vanganth interlude L2OFF files ( from Megashare topic here in MaxCheaters, love and kudos to author of that topic ) recently. I've started testing server stuff on my own machine, on VMWare, managed to setup everything without problems, do some stuff with editing. Server had solid uptime. So I've decided to set a test environment on dedicated machine where I wouldn't have to leave my machine on all the time. Every single dedicated servers host offers Windows Server 2008 R2, whereas I was running Windows Server 2003 on my VM.

Issue:
On Windows Server 2003, everything seems to work fine. Auth, catched, l2server & l2npc all works just fine. I can turn on my PC, turn on VM and run everything right now. On the other hand, on my test environment, which runs on Windows Server 2008 R2, server usually crashing when starting NPC server, after 2k NPCs. Sometimes, but just sometimes, I have no idea how (coz I did like shitload of different changes to SQL & machine configuration itself), but I manage to run server up to stage where everything is loaded (I mean npcs and etc) without problems, but server crashes after 2 - 6 hours. I have no logs of that event anymore since I've reinstalled OS of my dedicated machine. Usually when something like that starts on CacheD.

Questions:
First. Is it even possible to run Interlude L2off server smoothly on Windows Server 2008R2, without issues?
Second. Maybe some specific configuration on Windows is necessary?
Third. Is it still possible to get dedicated server with WIndows Server 2003? Is WS2003 via KVM legit thing to do?
Fourth. Would it work for live server if I get overkill machine with let's say 64gb ram and would set up Virtual Machine with most of resources allocated to it, and run server on it?

Error files of crashes, when loading NPC:
L2Server - https://pastebin.com/DxRdY5KB

L2NPc - https://pastebin.com/CaLKiC68

Catched - https://pastebin.com/r39KjtqN

 

Would appreciate some discussion & help without shitting on each other. Thanks in advance and if someone helps me, I will owe you a beer.

1) from what I know vanganth's server executables were patched for WS2k8 so yeah it should work.

2) no I dont think so

3) don't think u can get a WS2k3 that is not running inside a VM nowadays, for many reasons, hardware support is one, too many security vulnerabilities is another one

4) yes u could run a linux OS and virtualize 2003 or 2008 inside it and it would perform very good as long as the machine is decent

    • 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
