[Help] Class balancing


Question

Posted

I have a question about class balancing. When I add custom hidden skills, how do I actually hide them? I mean, when you add it to the .xml and the skill tree does it show a black square in your skills? Can someone give me a full example of a balancing passive? I mean, the whole entry.

I have no idea how to make the skill. I don't know xml and I don't know how one looks like. I've seen the skill xmls but I don't know how to write my own. So that's why I need an example of such a skill in order to make my own ones.

For example:


<skill id="20005" levels="1" name="Adventurer Balance">
<set name="power" val="0.0"/>
 <set name="target" val="TARGET_SELF"/>
 <set name="skillType" val="BUFF"/>
 <set name="operateType" val="OP_PASSIVE"/>
 <set name="castRange" val="-1"/>
 <set name="effectRange" val="-1"/>
 <for>
   <mul order="0x30" stat="cAtk" val="0.945"/>
   <sub order="0x40" stat="maxHp" val="420"/>
 </for>
</skill>

 

 

The power should be always set to 0.0

Target_self, because you need the effect to yourself..

BUFF - doesn't need a comment...

OP_Passive - because if it's active the player will have to use the skill so it can take effect..

cast and effect range - of course -1, if you set it to more the people near you will get effects too

 

And now for the bonus part..

 

 

   <mul order="0x30" stat="cAtk" val="0.945"/>
   <sub order="0x40" stat="maxHp" val="420"/>

 

 

 

The first one means that it will decrease the critical damage with 5,5% (if you want to work with %'s you have to set it to mul and order to 0x30)

The second one will decrease the maximum HP with 420 (if you want to decrease with an exact amount set it to sub and order to 0x40)

And if you want to add more max MP for example with 500 set it to add and order 0x40

 

So if you want to increase/decrease with percents (%) use mul, order 0x30

If you want to increase with an exact amount use add, order 0x40

If you want to decrease with an exact amount use sub, order 0x40

 

So if you want to add a new bonus stat for example "P.Attack" with 5% you will have to write a new line:

 

 

   <mul order="0x30" stat="pAtk" val="1.05"/>

 

 

And the skill will look like this:

 

 

<skill id="20005" levels="1" name="Adventurer Balance">
<set name="power" val="0.0"/>
 <set name="target" val="TARGET_SELF"/>
 <set name="skillType" val="BUFF"/>
 <set name="operateType" val="OP_PASSIVE"/>
 <set name="castRange" val="-1"/>
 <set name="effectRange" val="-1"/>
 <for>
   <mul order="0x30" stat="cAtk" val="0.945"/>
   <sub order="0x40" stat="maxHp" val="420"/>
   <mul order="0x30" stat="pAtk" val="1.05"/>
 </for>
</skill>

 

 

And if you want to increase it's for example "P.Def" with 400 you should add a new line like that:

 

 

   <add order="0x40" stat="pDef" val="400"/>

 

 

And the skill will look like this:

 

 

<skill id="20005" levels="1" name="Adventurer Balance">
<set name="power" val="0.0"/>
 <set name="target" val="TARGET_SELF"/>
 <set name="skillType" val="BUFF"/>
 <set name="operateType" val="OP_PASSIVE"/>
 <set name="castRange" val="-1"/>
 <set name="effectRange" val="-1"/>
 <for>
   <mul order="0x30" stat="cAtk" val="0.945"/>
   <sub order="0x40" stat="maxHp" val="420"/>
   <mul order="0x30" stat="pAtk" val="1.05"/>
   <add order="0x40" stat="pDef" val="400"/>
 </for>

 

 

And now this skill will decrease the critical damage with 5,5%, decrease the max HP with 420, increase the p.atk with 5% and increase the p.def with 400.

 

I think now you will understand it. If you have any questions, feel free to ask :)

Have u try to move your mouse on the empty case in Passive side? ^^'

in l2jfree, we don't see the icon, but when the mouse is on a 'empty' case, i see the skill name etc... ^^'

 

So if you learn this skill and you skill others skills with icon you will have a hole :P

    • https://l2avokado.com/ Hello everyone,   After some time of development, we've decided to open L2Avokado to the public in its current development stage. We're looking for players who enjoy Interlude and would like to help shape the project before its official release.   This isn't a "launch" announcement. Instead, we're inviting the community to log in, explore the server, test the systems we've built, and provide honest feedback. Whether it's bug reports, balance suggestions, progression ideas, or quality-of-life improvements, we'd love to hear them.   Our goal has always been to create an Interlude server that feels familiar while offering a fresh progression experience. We've intentionally avoided custom weapons, armor, and client modifications. Instead, we've focused on redesigning progression through reworked hunting grounds, quests, crafting, and gameplay systems while remaining compatible with a clean Interlude client.   At this stage, the core progression path has been implemented, including the main hunting grounds, quests, custom systems, and events. However, as the project is still under active development, there will inevitably be bugs, balance issues, and areas that require further polishing.   This is exactly why we'd like your help.   We're looking for players who are willing to: Test gameplay and progression. Report bugs and exploits. Suggest balance improvements. Share ideas for new features or quality-of-life changes. Help us build a server that the community genuinely enjoys playing.   The Client and System downloads are already available on our website, so you can jump straight into the game. We're also working on a dedicated launcher that will simplify installation and future updates.   If you're interested in helping develop a unique Interlude project and want your feedback to genuinely influence the direction of the server, we'd love to have you with us.   We look forward to seeing you in-game and hearing your thoughts on Discord. https://l2avokado.com/

    • La2Tools — Lineage 2 Texture Package Editor La2Tools is a modern tool designed for viewing and editing Lineage 2 client texture packages (.utx / .ugx). It is completely self-contained—no Java installation is required, as everything is already bundled inside. It supports both classic clients (Prelude to Interlude) and modern versions (Kamael+, Essence). Key Features  Package Browser Tabbed Interface: Open and work with multiple packages simultaneously. Dual View Modes: Switch between a tile view with previews and a detailed table view. Organization: Grouping and live filtering by name. UI Themes: Dark and light theme support. Animation Grouping Mode: Condenses frame sequences into a single tile with an animated preview. Split9 Indicators: Textures utilizing Split9 display a blue layout grid directly on the preview (just like in UnrealEd).  Texture Editing UnrealEd-style Property Dialog: Access all categories (Animation, Material, Quality, Split9, Surface, Texture) with editable parameters. Live Preview: Zoom from 25% to 800%, choose backgrounds (checkerboard, black, or white), and view real-time Split9 grid updates. Full-Size Rendering: Previews textures exactly as they appear in-game—rendered via Split9 (9-slice), Stretch, or tiling. Clipboard Actions: Copy, cut, and paste textures between different packages. Batch Adjustments: Copy and paste parameters from one texture to multiple items at once. Animation Creator: Generate animations from selected frames, complete with FPS and looping settings. Management & Compression: Rename with group modification, batch delete, and compress into RGBA8, DXT1, DXT3, or DXT5. "Open In..." Feature: Edit textures or GFX files in any external editor (Photoshop, Paint.NET, GIMP). Once saved, changes are automatically pulled back into the package while preserving all original parameters.  Import & Export Native Formats: Import DDS, TGA, BMP, and GFX directly; PNG, JPG, and GIF are converted automatically. GIF Engine: GIF files are automatically imported as ready-to-use animations (frames + AnimNext chain). Batch Import: Includes custom settings, mipmap generation, Alpha/Masked flags, and Detail Hack. Smart Replace: The "Preserve original texture parameters" option keeps Split9, animations, and clamps intact when overwriting. Mass Export: Export selected items, the current group, or the entire package. Drag & Drop: Drag files into the browser to import, or drag textures out to Windows Explorer to export. 🛠 Package Management Formats Supported: Old (Prelude — Interlude) and New (Kamael+ / Essence). One-Click Conversion: Seamlessly convert package formats between Old ⇄ New. Creation: Build new packages in any supported format from scratch. Encryption: Supports Lineage2Ver121 encryption (toggleable in package settings). Safe Editing: Works on a temporary copy with full undo/redo history (Ctrl+Z / Ctrl+Shift+Z) and a single "Save" button to apply changes. 🖥 System Integration File Associations: Open .utx / .ugx files with a double-click directly from Windows Explorer (registered during installation). Single Instance: Opening a new file adds it as a tab in the already running window. Multilingual UI: Automatically detects system language (supports EN, RU, UK, ES, PT, EL, KO, VI, ZH). Specifications & Requirements Supported Formats Packages: UTX, UGX Textures: RGBA8, DXT1, DXT3, DXT5, G16, P8 Resources: GFX (Scaleform) System Requirements OS: Windows Java: Not required (pre-bundled with the application). Installation & Downloads Run La2Tools-3.0.3_setup.exe — the installer will create shortcuts and register file associations. Alternatively, you can use the portable version.  Download (Installer) |  Download (Portable)
