Starting a server for the first time


Question

Posted

Well.... long story short I'm stuck home for some months due to some life issues. Being an "old timer" and coming back to L2, I got the crazy idea of making my own server.
I honestly never worked on such a project before, but reading some guides I somehow understand the concept. Could anyone briefly explain to me what I'll need to do besides making my server? Like protection, hosts, geodata and so on. Also I was wondering something, I've noticed that on most hi5 servers they use a interface (don't know if that's the correct term) which has a more modern look than the clean hi5. How can I achieve that? I understand money must be spent for most of these. Bear with me guys cause I might have some questions that might sound so hilarious to you all. Thank you in advance!

First of all forget about protection, interfaces and all other custom stuff. Learn how to operate a server by setting up your favourite standard format: low / mid / high / fun. Everything else would be a waste of time and money.

 

If you find yourself comfortable with your server, start adding custom stuff. Think about the goal you want to achieve with your project and do it step by step. Don't waste money for stuff you don't need. 😉

That's for sure! I won't be spending money on something before I complete my "baby steps". I have a plan and am working on it. Just speculating. My main concern is, will my work be "wasted" if I one day I decide to update the interface of my server? (Before launch)

You should launch your server with just the standard version. A few people are enough to gather first experience in that field. 😉

go for Mobius if you are going to subscribe cause the support is really good and he puts loads of work in the project.

If you arent going to pay then try the free version  to learn how to operate the server but dont start a server on free files cause the support will be terrible no matter where you ask.

 

i tried both sunrise and Mobius and by far Mobius seemed superior (FOR ME!)

Thank you for the replies everyone. Can anyone recommend me a good starting pack for a Hi5 PVP server? Paid or not, doesn't matter, I want to look into my options. Thanks!

What are the differences that makes Mobius better? I'm still looking into both of them.

 

Mobius Project

 

Mobius is a friendly and active person / developer. His project is user friendly and it provides you with everything you need to start a new server. You even can use his free sources for a server project. You will need help at some point, but till then you have everything you need. His pack has a ton of custom features - a huge plus! 🙂

    • try this one instead. The one he shared affects every single NPC/player character in the game, the one I posted only affects player characters  https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UtccbD9e50x3WEnQBab2PTZnBHwpcGYM/view?usp=sharing or perhaps i misunderstood; if you could please post a full explanation of the problem you're having with the files, unfortunately i think whatever you're using to translate to english is a bit bad nevermind, i got what you mean, here's the fix   https://drive.google.com/file/d/1av7OHaGSdnVQtcBgb9MhtiIkxVXy3P2y/view?usp=sharing   CanIngnoreCollision=True CanBeIngnoredCollision=True  
    • <dailyReward days="28" autoOpen="true" minimumOnlineTimeSeconds="30" oneRewardPerIP="true" resetIfMissDay="true">   For now, I have these settings in the XML—this is the V1 version I created, though I plan to make further improvements over time. Of course, I’ll also add more protections—MAC, HWID, and perhaps others like account-based restrictions—to make it more secure. We can also implement non-tradable items to further enhance the system's security. I’ll keep posting updates and refining both the system and the interface. I might make a video tomorrow; if you look at the top, you'll see the "auto-open" feature can be toggled on or off, allowing users to rely solely on the `.daily` command. Cheers! Note: If I sell it in this state, I’ll provide support and roll out updates to users. I’m not forcing anyone to buy anything; I’d even provide the patch files so that anyone with the necessary skills can add features, modify it, or improve it further.
    • If the problem is that the target is lost, the action of aiming at another character, upon losing collision, does not allow aiming.   This one works as it should, allowing you to target characters
    • MICROTEXT AND WATERMARKS BREAK MOST RENDERINGS Microtext and watermarks aren’t just small decorative details. They are one of the most common reasons a document fails verification, even when it looks decent at first glance. The issue is that these elements are almost impossible to reproduce “by eye.” Microtext requires precise geometry and legibility at a very small size, while a watermark needs the correct density, transparency, and accurate placement relative to other security features. Any deviation becomes obvious during detailed inspection. ▪ What’s most often done wrong: - microtext is drawn too thick or blurry - the watermark is made either too visible or almost invisible - the positioning between microtext and watermark is ignored - the original printing technology isn’t taken into account when choosing density and shape - The stronger the document’s security features, the less room there is for approximation. What matters here isn’t visual similarity, but accurate reproduction of the original technical characteristics. If your document contains microtext and watermarks, this is always an area that requires extra attention. Write to us in DMs. We’ll review your case and point out exactly which details need the highest precision during rendering. › TG: @mustang_service_ms ( https:// t.me/ mustang_service_ms ) › Channel: Mustang Service ( https:// t.me/ +JPpJCETg-xM1NjNl ) #drawing #microtext #photoshop #editing #watermarks
