NOTE: This short guide is for a L2J Server. http://l2jserver.com
If you received this file as a part of a packaged or bundled build:
L2J only supports L2J software obtained directly from L2J sources.
What this means is, if you obtained L2J from a source other than our SVN or nightly distribution, you need to get support from where you got the files. We are unable to provide any technical assistance for unsupported software packages. The software may have viruses, cause security problems, or even send your personal information to remote servers without your express consent. We cannot recommend the use of any of these packages on a server.
WARNING: L2J Server is not a plug and play type of server. To setup the server and to run it successfully you need to do a lot of reading. If reading and learning are not something you like to do, Stop now.

L2J is an Alternative Lineage 2 Game Server written in pure Java for best compatibility. L2J gives you the possibility to legally host a game server for this popular Korean MMO created by NCSoft. It is still unfinished and many features are missing, but L2J Dev team is working hard on implementing them. L2J Server is distributed under the terms of GNU/GPL in a hope that open source model is the best for developing quality software giving everyone a possibility to participate on development by submitting the code.

Full GNU/GPL License is included in LICENSE.TXT file.
Whereas L2J is distributed under the terms of GNU/GPL, we require you to: a) Preserve login notice. This gives us, L2J Developers, appropriate credit for our hard work done during our free time without any revenues.
b) Do not distribute any extended data files with the server files in the same archive. NO world content should be incorporated in L2J distribution. Server and Datapack may not be not be bundled or packaged.
OS: Any OS having Java JDK 1.6 installed and properly configured! We recommend using SUN JDK available at java.sun.com
Hardware: Decent CPU & RAM
Software: Java JDK 1.6 MySql Datapack
We recommend: That you do not play and host the server from the same computer. Have a good Internet connection - dial up just won't cut it. Many low cost hosting options are available.
Before you can start up the server it is extremely important to read and get to know the wiki sites. They contain all the info you need to setup and run a L2J Server.
L2J Server wiki: Server Guides, How-to's, bugtracker: https://www.l2jserver.com/trac/wiki
L2J-Datapack wiki: Datapack Guides, How-to's, bugtracker: http://www.l2jdp.com/trac/wiki
This Server distribution does not contain any spawn/drop data or any world content. (Datapack)
L2J Server has also a possibility to change exp/sp/drop rates relative to data in spawnlist/droplist files. To do that, just change the rates you need in server.properties file found in config folder.
You should also configure your IP address in server.properties.
Server uses ports 2106 (LoginServer) and 7777 (GameServer) by default. If your server runs behind NAT or firewall you will need to open and/or forward these ports.
To make someone an admin you need to edit, in the l2jdb database, the desired character in the characters table, while server is SHUT DOWN! Change the field, accesslevel from 0 to 100 or more. You may start server after that and the person will have admin privileges. Note that you must create the account and character before editing.
Possible access levels: -100 = banned 0 = normal account/character 51 or more = exempt from maximum connections limit (accounts table only) 100 or more = admin
More info can be found in the community wiki.
Admin commands implemented: (Please see https://l2jserver.com/trac/wiki/GmCommands for more complete list.) //admin = main GM interface //gmchat = will send a message to all online GMs //invul = makes your character untouchable
CLIENT COMPATIBILITY Our server is dependent on the official release of the North American lineage2 live client. http://www.lineage2.com All help and support will only be for the official client. Any clients obtained elsewhere, must obtain support from where it was obtained.
It may arrive that you want to update your server to new version while keeping old accounts. There are few steps you HAVE TO do in order to keep the data accurate.

Please note that L2J Devs can't help players with connecting issues or anything related to playing on private servers. If you can't connect, you should contact your server GM's. We can solve only L2J server ~software~ related issues. We don't have any backdoors or anything that would enable us GM accounts on every server using L2J, so there's no point in coming to our channel if you need items/adena/whatever ingame.
Anyone who wants to contribute to the project is encouraged to do so. Java programming skills are not always required as L2J needs much more than java code.
If you created any source code that may be helpful please use the User Contributions section on our forums. If you contributed good stuff that will be accepted, you might be invited to join L2J Dev Team.
People willing to hang on chat and respond to user questions are also ALWAYS welcome ;)
Bugs can be reported on our wiki site. http://l2jserver.com/trac/newticket Basic rules for reporting are: Please report only one bug/issue per ticket!! You must include the revision (changeset) number when reporting a bug! "The latest" does not mean anything when 5 more updates have been done since you set up the server. If you are not sure if it should be reported here, make a post about it in the L2J forum.
Players should ALWAYS consult bugs with their Admin/GM's and have them report it on our wiki site. Some bugs may be caused by bad datapack, server installation or modifications server owner has made. We can't help you in that case.
Please use the datapacks bugtracker for reporting datapack bugs. Please do NOT report bugs related to unofficial add-ons to L2J. L2J bugtracker is NOT a place to fix that. Contact the person who made modification instead.
