-JavaJDK (Search on Net)
-MySQL 5.0 SERVER (Search on Net)
-NAVICAT (look in my Shared folder

You must be registered to see links

)
-SERVER PACK (ill suggest Hero's1711 pack SEARCH OVER THE FORUM)

1o- Install JavaJDK

2o- Install MySQL 5.0 Server

Installing MySQL 5.0 Server
-Run The executable file (DUH)
-Press next buttom and create a new instance
-Select detailed Configuration

-Server Machine

-Next , Next

-Choose the first option for 20 Players or if u want, choose the manual setting and in concurrent connection , put how many ppl do u want to join in ur server

- NEXT , NEXT , NEXT

-Security Options ... dont check any !

-EXECUTE

->Now u hve configurated ur MySQL server with Login: root , NO PASSWORD , Port 3306.

3o- Install NAVICAT !

4o- In NAVICAT click on connection and insert in Host name/IP address "localhost" , port "3306" , Username "root" and leave blank the password field than click OK

-Will appear in the connections field one new connection called "localhost". RIGHT CLICK on it > New Database , than give the name of l2jdb for ur new database than click ok.

4o- Extract all the files of hero's pack in a folder of ur choice

5o- Install SQL files from hero's Pack (folder SQL)
- U can made it manually or automatically , in this case , ill teach how
to use the automatic installation
- Search for the file Database_installer.bat in the folder TOOLS of ur server folder
- Right Click on it and choose EDIT
-Change the adress for ur MySQL BIN FOLDER in the line "set mysqlBinPath="
-Than execute the edited file pressing F to Full installation and installing the Addons pressing y

- Now u hve ur Database installed xD !

6o- In the folder gameserver/config/ open with notepad the file server.proprierties and change the lines

ExternalHostname=UR EXTERNAL IP HERE
InternalHostname=UR INTERNAL IP HERE (possibily 127.0.0.1)
MinProtocolRevision = 1
MaxProtocolRevision = 999

7o- Go in ur login/config and open the file loginserver.proprierties with notepad than edit the lines

ExternalHostname=UR EXTERNAL IP
InternalHostname=UR INTERNAL IP (possibily 127.0.0.1)

8o- Run The file RegisterGameServer.bat in ur login folder then choose the Id number 0 (zero) . the program will close and a file hexid(server 0 or anything like it).txt will be appear in ur login folder.
Rename it to hexid.txt than copy and paste in ur gameserver/config folder.

9o- Run the program startSQLAccountManager.bat to create ur accounts (if u dont hve a webserver with registration)(LOL ?? Probably u wont hve it at this momment xD)

In Access lvl , put 100 for admins , 0 for players or -100 for banned accounts ^^ .

Open Startloginserver.bat (login folder) and Startgameserver.bat (gameserverfolder).

PS: If ur usinga router , ull need to open the ports : 7777 (Gameserver) ; 2106 (loginserver) ; 3306 (MySQL)
Thats all , i think xD

If i forgot anything , pls tell me !

PART II - WEBSERVER (Server Homepage)

Now ull try to explain how to create ur webserver WITHOUT DISKW !!
Ill use L2Jz System because it is a LOT better and usefull with a complete database included !!

Files that ull need :

You must be registered to see links

(It will install the PHP and APACHE protocol in ur system simple and fast)
L2Jz (try to use the search button above)

How to install :

1o -> First install WAMP5.0 , a little icon may appear at ur clock side, if not, go to the folder that u has installed the wamp and run the executable.)

2o- Extract the files of L2Jz system in a folder than follow the steps bellow :
-With the SQL FILES :
-Open NAVICAT than right click in ur database l2jdb and choose EXECUTE BATH FILE than search for the L2jz SQL files and do it with ALL the SQL FILES !!

-After that , 9 new tables will appear in ur database

3o-Now move all the remaining files of L2Jz for ur WWW\ folder (ull find where u installed ur WAMP5.0. In my case c:\wamp\www\)

4o-Left Click on ur WAMP icon APACHE>START/RESUME SERVICE , and after that click on PUT ONLINE

-After that , wamp icon will become yellow and the lock will disapear

-U can edit ur L2Jz Main page editing the file welcome.php (www\pages\)

5o-Edit ur option.php file (www\) inserting ur server rates and another thing that u like or need
-Bellow the lines of ur server rates

$servers[$i]['info']['rateXp'] = 10;//Exp rate.
$servers[$i]['info']['rateSp'] = 10;//Sp rate.
$servers[$i]['info']['rateDropAdena'] = 30;//Adena rate.
$servers[$i]['info']['rateDropItems'] = 15;//Drop rate.
$servers[$i]['info']['rateDropSpoil'] = 35;//Spoil rate.

-ull need to change that numbers puting ur server rates

6o- Go to ur gameserver\config folder than edit the file telnet.properties in the following lines

EnableTelnet = True

and remove the # in the beggining of the line

#StatusPW = somePass

7o- Go to ur Login\config folder than edit the file telnet.properties in the line

EnableTelnet = True

PS: IF UR USING A ROUTER , ULL NEED TO OPEN THE PORT 80 (Webserver/Apache) !!

Thats it ! A FULL C5 server with ONLINE L2INFORMER and fully editable !

If i forget something , ill insert here later , or pls MESSAGE ME !

If u cannot login in ur server , its a problem in the gameguard, ill share here the guide to bypass it ! (thats the reason to i hve a nprotect folder in my www\ folder xD).

SRRY FOR MY ENGLISH ! If anyone wants to fix my grammar , send a me a pm having the correction ^^.

BTW , Its the SAME METHOD to make a C4 Server.

PART III - The Client Side

Beucause many questions about what to do in the client , i will make a little guide to what make in the client PC to run ur server !

1o- Ull need to donwload the SYSTEM folder of your server pack ! (Ull find it on ur server pack Thread)

2o- Change the original system folder of ur L2 for the server system folder

3o- Ull need to edit the L2.ini (at ur system folder) to insert ur server IP. U can edit it
using the program L2_Fileedit.exe (u can find it on my shares tool folder

You must be registered to see links

).

4o- If ur using the gameguard bypass , ull need to insert the line at ur client hosts file
(windows/system32/drivers/etc)
"xxx.xxx.xxx nprotect.lineage2.com" (where xxx.xxx.xxx is ur server IP)
-Delete ur gameguard folder in ur new system folder to force the client to download the new gameguard from ur server.

That's all ! Ur server may be working now ! Enjoy ! If i forgot anything , pls tell me and SRRY FOR MY ENGLISH !

If you buy from an ordinary shop is happend the same thing? What server pack fo you use? Where did you get it? You use C5 or Interlude? What GM shop do you use? If anybody else tryng to buy from GM shop is happend the same thing?

 

[geoman007]

I use the l2privatec5(154) from the shared file of the Nargen,i'm going to shop from the GMshop of the Nargen and from my GMshop,the problem is not only for me,so?

Try to make another account and see what is happend. If working with this new account log in DualBox and give ress to first. For me work fine both of them. If isnt working with second account for you, delete your datebase and begin a new one. That is all what i can say.
P.S. If you use same PC for server and game, then ctrl+alt+dell, process, and set java priority to real time. That can be your problem too.

Well now everything works correct but if anyone try to connect nothing happens.
I open all the ports which are announced in the readme.txt and even though noone can connect. They are all of my network and we are using local ips.
For Example - my IP adress is 192.168.22.132 and his is 192.168.22.162.
So my question is what should i do cause i wanna play with someone ... otherwise it is so boring ;/

 

[riku17]

My problem is this: I start the startloginserver and startgameserver, ok it start well, i made a host with my external ip l2auth.lineage2.com
my friend toke it and he can login but he can not select the server. However, I can not login and nothing. PLEASE HELP ME!!!

I guess that you have made something wrong. Maybe any port is not opened or you hadn`t edit your login/gameserver options. Because i make everything according the guide and everything starts. There are just few bugs that i try to fix. For example - i set the cast success to 100 ( 100% ) and the chance is still around 30% or even less. And i try to make the buffs/songs/dances stay in effect for longer but it didnt work. And few other cosmetic problems
So i beg all of you if anyone knows how to fix my server, to enable others to connect plz pm me !!!

1o- Ull need to donwload the SYSTEM folder of your server pack ! (Ull find it on ur server pack Thread)

1. Hmm, a new SYSTEM folder? I use

You must be registered to see links

server files.
So where to get the SYSTEM folder for this server pack?
And yes, I have tried to search .

2. Do I need to have StartLoginServer, StartGameServer, Navicat and WAMP running all the time when I will use my l2j server?

3. I should start the game with l2.exe? Right?

4. About the L2 client, just install c5 or do I need update it with LineageII.exe after install? (guess not, cuz then it will become Interlude?)

BTW really nice guide. And thanks for answers.

1. You can use the system folder from the Nargen shares and it works perfect.

2. You need first to start start.exe from the main folder of your Server. Then start Login Server, and start Game Server. Navicat and WAMP are not necessary. I start and play on my server without them.

3. l2.exe right. Which is placed on your l2 system folder. And you should delete your game guard folder to enforce your game to download your server`s gameguard.

4. You dont need to make any update to your client. And you are right that it will update to interlude... i make that mistake and had to install the game twise.

I`m not really sure about navicat and wamp but i start mine without them

Thanks alot, I will reinstall L2 and do everything from the beginning, hope it works now

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EDIT: I've done the best I can now but when I try to start l2.exe and I come to loginscreen an error message comes up, "There was a problem when running GameGuard (ErrorCode: 1014)".

What's the problem? :S

I really appreciate answers.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EDIT 2: I managed to fix that GameGuard problem so I can atleast log in now .
But...
When I'm inside the game I can't see any mobs/NPC:s or items and I can't use "/admin" or is it some other commando I should use? (yes, my account has 100, even tried with 200).

It seems for me that there is some problem with the connection to the www server I made? Because I have problems with GameGuard (that should be updated from my www server in WAMP) and mobs/NPC:s and items (that should come from the www server in WAMP). Or am I totaly wrong?!

Anyway, it would be great with some advices about what to do. Thanks alots.

[riku17]

Yeah! now i open the server, thx fr the guide =)
now every body can log in every bobody except me... i dont know why but i put my id and password but dont log in and with other id or pass too. Maybe is for my hosts? or my gameguard?
my hosts is the same of my friend xxxxxxx l2authd.lineage2.com and the gameguard is the original

Well it is some kind of problem or what i dont know. Because i have the same problem. But anytime you can change the first acc.`s password which name is "teste". And this char. is always GM char. In other case you have to make some preconfig. First stop your server and edit your game server. In your options.propertiese which is located in you gameserver/config folder change this :
"# If next switch set to true every created character will have access level 200.
EverybodyHasAdminRights = False"

with thisone :
"# If next switch set to true every created character will have access level 200.
EverybodyHasAdminRights = True"

And then any char. will have admin rights. For the begining it is pretty usefull. I`ll post when i find how to fix it.

Lo0o0o0o0oL
I have the opposing problem. Me and only ME can connect. Every try by anyone else to log in failed ... So we can help each other i guess ...
