Advanced Configuration
Gameserver
You can tweak your gameserver config by editing all the "*.properties" files located in "/server/l2j/gameserver/config". I won't give details for every file because everything is explained in, you just have to open them with a text editor :)
Here is the list of what you can change :
Code:
access.f
altsettings.properties
command-privileges.properties
custom.properties
GMAccess.properties
other.properties
pvp.properties
server.properties
siege.properties
signs.properties
spoil.properties
Database
The database is like the "server memory", where all the players, items & NPC informations are stored. It's using the XML files of the server to fill the specs. value of each NPC / item. Here is a small schematic of how is it working :
You can access to it on the computer where the server is installed by opening the adress "http://localhost/a/".
However, the database access is restricted to the IP of the server so you can't access it from another computer. If you want to do that, you must create an admin account with your computer's IP :
- Connect to the database in local mode like described above
- Click on "Privileges"
- Click on "Add a new User"
You should see something like this :
Enter a username, a password, the IP of your computer in the "Host" area and click on "Check All" .
For accessing throught LAN, enter the LAN IP of your computer, for accesssing throught internet enter the internet IP of your computer.
If you have a dynamic IP, you can select "Any Host" but then everyone can connect to your database, and even if they can't access it it's not very secure :D
When you filled all the values like discribed above, press "GO" on the right.
Once it's done, open the file "config.inc.php" located in "server/diskw/home/admin/www/" and change the line
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config'; // Authentication method (config, http or cookie based)?
by
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'http'; // Authentication method (config, http or cookie based)?
Save & close.
Then open the file ".htaccess" located in "server/diskw/home/admin/www" and add the line :
Allow from YOUR_IP_ADRESS
where YOUR_IP_ADRESS is the same IP that you used to create an account in phpmyadmin before.
Save & close.
You can now access to the database on your computer by opening "http://database_server_ip_adress/a/" in your web browser and writing your account informations down.
Accessing the database make you able to change players inventory, name, stats, access_lvl ; NPC, weapons, armors stats but don't forget to change also this in the XML files.
BACKUP YOUR DATABASE OFTEN SO IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG YOU WON'T LOOSE EVERYTHING !
You can backup your database by clicking on "Export" on the main page.
In-game Admin system
The in-game admin system is based on an access lvl given to every character in the game. A player with access lvl "100" can use all admins commands that requires "100" and less access lvl.
You can set the needed acces lvl for each admin command by editing the "GMAccess.properties" and "command-privileges.properties" files located in "/server/l2j/gameserver/config".
For exemple, let's say there are 3 admin commands :
admin_command_1 = 50
admin_command_2 = 100
admin_command_3 = 150
With this configuration, a player with 150 acces lvl can use admin command 1, 2, 3 whereas a player with 50 access lvl can only use admin command 1.
For changing the access lvl of a character, you must go in the database, browse the "characters" table and edit the one that you want :
The most used admin commands can be seen here
Creating - Importing new items or NPCs
It's possible to create new weapons, armors, items or spawn new mobs like you can see it in the others topics in RageZone forums but you need to be very friendly with server and client engines (and photoshop for some specific stuff) to do such a thing so if you don't feel confortable with this just wait for the others experienced users to release their work :)
Otherwise you can give me a PM if you need some advices about it, even if i'm far to be the best for doing this (as you can see my paint skills :D )
