hello 👋

I am trying to learn about how to change stuff in the l2 client after long time without playing but i could not find a guide or something like that for what I am trying to achieve. I am looking to add icons over useful skill like in the patch video but since in not playing in Scryde it doesn't work out of the box.

 

 

 

Right now, im trying to to decrypt this textures files and the `skillgrp.dat` from this patch of Scryde in order to encrypt it with the version of the server that im playing, even tho I tried to decrypt it with L2FileEditor and tried with every chronicle + version, I couldn't make it work. Is this a good approach  or I am missing something?

 

How I can know which chronicle/version is encrypted that files? 

Also, when I try to decrypt the file `LineageEffectsTextures.utx` with L2Decrypt and generate the `LineageEffectsTextures.clear.utx` im getting a critical error whenever i load it into `UnrealEngine2Runtime`....

I think Scryde files are crypted and unfortunately impossible to decrypt unless you have the original program for it which originally encrypted the files.

 

This method is commonly used to prevent other people steal their work.

 

@Celestine correct me if I am wrong.

 

scryde files are not encrypted with smartcrypt but with different soft.

oh well, if it is not available the soft do it, there is any free available files  to do it? If neither, can someone explain I can add new icon to the `LineageEffectsTextures.utx` with unreal? I am trying to duplicate a texture and put another icon but is asking Package, group and name but im not sure what to put there... or even how to change the icon

1) Download L2Editor by lordofdest: 

2) Open any retail package you want like LineageEffectsTextures.utx you mentioned (remember that custom servers might have their files encrypted with various software like smartcrypt, so if you can't open them it's normal because you have to decrypt first.)

3) After you open find the texture you wish to change and just upload your new texture by giving it same name, package and group with old one.
4) Save it and encrypt using mxencdec tool.

5) Done.

 

Package = the name of the package (in your case LineageEffectsTexture is the name)
Group = is just for organization and have no impact in game. However if you're editing a retail texture, be sure to use its group name when you import your new texture.

Name = is the name of your texture which is used by the item, html etc. you're editing.

Note: Take a look at some guides like this: 

 they will help you starting.

Hey @Frank, I already added my new textures, it was quite easy.

 

My problem is now referencing them in the skillgrp.dat in order to appear. I was following the convention for the textures like it was before, a new v_21 and v_22, but then if I reference them in the skillgrp.dat doesn´t work. 

 

As in the previous textures, as  you can see, their have this naming `br_event_015_02` but where is coming this `br_event_015` ? I don't see this name anywhere from the texture package, see image here. (I added prahnah and symbol of noise)

 

Do I am missing something?¿

@Celestine Hi! 

Could you please elaborate on what kind of software they are using? If possible of course. I would like to know more about encryption!

      Unofficial fantasy lore and stories from Aden continent

      By aguy · Posted

      Expanding the dominion, the magical Scroll of Escape   The months passed and Orcis dominance over Aden was absolute. Everyone respected his leadership and authority. Now many of his highly ranked soldiers have learned the boat dance of invulnerability but the army had trouble mastering it.    The orc ordered his most loyal engineer, that stranger who his name we still query, to find a way to teach the dance to the solders to turn them into super-soldiers. The stranger searched and search ed and searched, but he could not make the dance easier. For a soldier, with his heavy armor and slow movement was confined to the limits that this shell provided.   But sometimes, the truth hides in simpler things. One day, after testing the dance on the boat many times, the stranger decided to call it a day. But he was too tired to walk back to the city from the Giran Harbor. So he opened his back and used a scroll of escape while still on the boat.  He visited the weapons store, then the church and later decided to go to the west gate of Giran, to do some light sparring with the random villagers.    To his surprise, he could not fight the villagers. Whenever they tried to swing on him, their sword bounced away. And so it came to the strnager, that its not the dance that makes Einhasad bless him with immortality. It's not gods themselves, but an inherent flaw of the mortal world.    And so ... he went to the king, with a bright idea, and a bunch of Scrolls of Escape in hand.   Master I know of a way. And I know of a thousand other ways to trick the gods and gain immortality without dancing infront of them. For it is not the blessing of Einhasad that gives us the gift.    The gods have erred, the world is flawed and only a redesign of the nature's principles can now stop us ...

      I just found it funny that you reversed the reverse engineer champions. They won't like this for sure.    Anyway, the project vision is very good it is aligned with what the players need and want something that both e-global and l2reborn has failed to provide. These are stable projects, they are not good "games". And players play "games" they don't play "projects".  When no good "games" exist, they flock towards good "projects". Lineage 2 private scene has produced decent projects the last years, but no decent "game". I hope you are the first ones to do so.   Generally there are two axis that Lineage 2 needs to evolve on. Modern gaming concepts and the need to respect the aging player's time. So far, most projects treat these aspects as taboo, they seem so afraid to deviate from what they call "true" Lineage 2. But the reality is that times change, you can't stay static forever, you have to evolve. NCSoft failed,they are not paving the way no more. It is us now, the collective community that have to pave our own pathways. WoW has went the same way, private projects took initiative because the company (while not failed) could not steer the game towards what players want and need in 2026.    For that reason I believe your project is going towards the right direction. The four keystones listed in the vision is what I believe is the community really needs but clearly doesn't understand it wants, because noone so far has give them a glimspe of what is beyond their retail-like garden.    I personally don't respect projects like reborn and e-global. As "games", they are simply trash, regardless of their high professionalism as endeavors. They lack innovation, they lack creativity, they are simply good software products,

      Giving up has never been part of my mindset. I respect projects like Reborn and E-Global they've earned their reputation. But every successful project started with people saying it would fail. If everyone gave up because there was competition, nothing new would ever exist. Skepticism is completely fair, and I'm not asking anyone to blindly believe in promises. Judge us by what we release, not by assumptions. That's exactly why we're taking our time instead of rushing something unfinished. At the end of the day, time will tell. I'd rather try to build something different and fail than never try at all.

      Good luck beating projects like reborn eglobal and other crap l can bet you will give up after 1 year or first grand opening after online drops😁  l am very sceptical if honestly, at least run test server first or make something to show 🙂

      Dunno, I have a friend who's really good at reverse engineering, so I don't really see a reason for anyone to be mad about it. At the end of the day, if someone has the skills and knowledge to do something, that's just part of the scene.
