Discussion New Hi5 Project starting base

[redsky9]

Hi all.

Not sure if this is interesting for others but I'll give it a go.

I'm looking into building my own l2j server, mostly for learning, and I'm not sure what base project to use.

While looking around I've found 2 stable sources: L2J and L2Mobius.

My question would be, which one to use as a starting point for my server? Why one is "better" the the other, and ofc, why?

If there are other base projects that are better then the ones I've found, pls let me know.

Both sources are no good for live project.

[Red-Hair-Shanks]

if you want to learn use clean l2j source.

[redsky9]

is Mobius lower quality then L2J or is there another reason why you would suggest it over the other one?

[Gladicek]

Clean L2J would be better way to go... but still it require lot of work.

If take all good stuffs from Mobius which wasn't implemented in L2J and put it into L2J then this package will be better the both together taken. But still not enough for stable low rates live project.

If you wish to learn, the official L2JServer is the right choice. It focuses on retail behavior, has best structure and will soon update to Java 16.

Mobius is a hybrid L2JServer/Unity ripoff with some custom content already present around this forums. I wouldn't say is bad, but community isn't very helpful and they focus on paid source which also isn't a lot better either, except for the fact it "supports" more branches.

As previously said neither of them is suitable for live.
If you are planning to invest the time needed to make it worth,
I suggest you go with L2JServer.

As far as I know Mobius making daily commits to their source code so yeah it's stable and good for use.

Those saying "Official" L2jServer means about this one: 

https://www.l2jserver.com/    

Right? 

 

I mean, why wouldnt be any of those a good choice for a live server? At the end, post owner said that he just wants to learn and you can't learn much without having live users testing.

Of coarse you can have them live and they are very stable.
Why I wouldn't recommend them for live project (unless is Beta) is because of missing features.

Architecture wise yes.
Java++.
Those are best to learn on.

In terms of gameplay open-team pack is best for sure. But it is too complicated for a novice.
