L2J Server

hello
can any1 say me how i config to conect l2 from system ....what i need change in system to connect fromk system?

you dont need to change anything in the system. That is illegal, so dont ask that here.

You need to config the hosts file in your windows32/drivers/etc folder.

good luck

yes but i have 1 little prb ....i make host but in folder system i cant start game ....no l2 icon....i made update but dont put me icon (( and if i make all time update i take gameguard error i find prg to kill ... but if make update ...same error ...how can make L2 icon for no make all time update?

search on forum for l2.bin . there are plenty of topics where is discussed how to start the game without modifying the client.

Basically, in order to play on a private server, you need to

1) change the hosts file to redirect l2authd.lineage2.com to your server
2) prevent GameGuard from detecting the change

the second part wil requires either
- client file patching (which may be said to be the creating of a derived work hence a copyright violation, won't be discussed here)
- in memory client patching (which won't be a derived work, no copyright violation... probably no legal trouble but won't be discussed here)
- feeding outdated GameGuard files to L2 (which requires someone to host these which is copyright violation and which is moddifying the client (the downloaded files are stored in L2 directory))... Hightly illegal but solution of choice from L2J team)
- replacing the GameGuard driver with a custom made one and feeding custom made GameGuard files (no copyright violation, the driver part is fully legal, the custom files is client modding but no need to host copyrighted work)... won't be discussed here)

If you intend to HOST an L2J system, you'll probably end up hosting the outdated copyrighted GameGuard files... Which you'll probably need to leech from some other L2J server... NCZ0ft used to host them on some server but they removed them so, you'd need to use your own web server.

But, keep in mind that whatever you do, you're moddifying the client (either manually or through serving bogus GameGuard files) and doing something illegal... If you host a L2J server, be quiet about the way to bonnect to the server (forum restricted to registered users for example).

I havent seen a working solution involving this.

BTW L2j doesnt state or recommend on any of the configuration/readme/documentation files to host illegal GameGuard servers, that practice is done by server admins who cant find another workaround for the client of their choice.

Anyways any legal solution is always welcome.

You've seen one... based on DirectX hooks... but you deleted it... and you delete all talks about such a solution...

no comment !!!

pissed off !!!

take a little shut up. you on L2J territory - respect it rules please.
try to make start.bat with code

start l2.bin

for now i work on legal starting l2 w/o modif. so if i success - i will share.
for now - innova systems fails with theirs updater...stupid thing..also they some why use old protocol...who knows. may be they have nzsoft premisiions to restrict foreign users to connect to l2._ru
