Ok I have bought a dedicated server hosting out of a datacenter in North America. I have my website splash screen up, forums up, and I have already sank a couple hundred dollars in this server. i am doing anything and everything I can to get this server going asap and have it be GREAT for the community. but I was supposed to be doing this with the help of friends but they have basically become lazy asses and i am having to do the whole thing myself. as i write this, i am in teamspeak listening to them laugh and have fun playing on another l2 server instead of helping after i've been at work all day. but all of that aside, i have hit a ***** wall:

the server is running perfectly. no errors at all period. but, i NEED an NPC Buffer, GM Shop, Global Gatekeeper, etc.

I PROMISE i have searched EVERYWHERE and searched EVERYWHERE. I have found a ton of these Custom NPC's but none of them work. The one's that have instructions are really shitty and there is always an error when installing. The ones that don't have installation instructions just stump me. I have tried countless custom npc's for hours without any luck at all. If someone could PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE post their working Gracia Epilogue Custom NPC's and how to install them, i would appreciate it more than you could ever know. Please help me out guys. I have people depending on me to get this server going, I have invested heavily into it, and I have lost all support because of lazy ass friends. Please help me!

Thank you in advance for any help at all!

P.S. If an L2J admin wants to take the time to help me until the Custom NPC's are working, I will donate the entire $70 you need to host.

There is a NPC buffer built into l2j, you can play with it to understand how it works, then you can add the buffs to it that fits your server, the npc id is 10000003 (if you didn't already know that)

some things to do to make sure you can even spawn it....

make sure you check your configs to make sure you have custom npc tables enabled and custom npc buffer table enabled as well, and that you have these custom tables installed at all, hope this helps

I have found a ton of these Custom NPC's but none of them work.

If that really is true then how can you even be a public l2jserver's owner? About 80% of all custom npcs contain nothing but htmls and multisells (gmshop)/sqls (gk/buffer)/1 script(buffer), the only things that might not work is sql column count is wrong (old revision/branch, easy to fix usually) or the script has wrong imports/functions (old revision/branch), but npcbuffers usually have it written somewhere for what branch are they made, but if you take one from this forum it should work 99%.

You have to first make the server (more or less) and THEN announce the opening time, so that during the waiting You would only need to make some quick fixes and nothing serious.
Also, you don't call people like that "friends", the correct word would be "assholes"...

Anyway, global GK is somewhat easy to make, just use gm teleports to check which locations you need (some are wrong though, z or x coords..), copy them in database, put them in custom_teleport table, change IDs and prices and use them in gatekeepers htmls (if necessary, make a script to check for karma/money/etc.).
Same with GM shop, it's much better making one yourself, you don't know the prices and items sold until you check EVERYTHING and you HAVE to check everything. Just make the htmls and link them to multisells, how hard is that?
And, as burrito here already said, npc buffer is built in, you just need to change the default htms and modify buff list.
