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

-======1. Installing the client======-
You need about 3GB of diskspace for the L2 folder, and +/- 4GB including the setup file!

Download the korean Lineage2 game from <a href='http://lineage2.nefficient.co.kr/L2client_20040120.exe' target='_blank'>http://lineage2.nefficient.co.kr/L2clie ... 120.exe</a>
Preferable use a download manager to speed up the download, but it's not needed if you don't mind waiting.

When you're done downloading install it in a folder you like. Run the exe when done installing and let it update
EVERYTHING. This takes about 2~3 hours average, and when you quit you have to do it all over again, so take the time.

-======2.Setting up the server======-

First, if you dont have java installed yet, download it from <a href='http://java.com' target='_blank'>http://java.com</a> . Just click download on the top and let it all install.

Second, download the 0.1 server files from <a href='http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/l2j/ ... p?download' target='_blank'>http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/l2j/ ... ownload</a>
unzip it in a new directory.
First, run convertData.bat and point it to your L2 directory. It will create all data needed for the server's items, weapons etc now.
Next, open server.cfg in notepad, and change the IPs to 127.0.0.1 if you want to play local ( alone ) or to your WAN IP if you want others to join.
Go to www.whatismyip.com to check out your WAN IP.
Note : you cannot let other players join if you are behind a router (yet)!

Execute startserver.bat to start the server.

-======3.Setting up the client & joining the server.======-

Open the Updateini.bat in the L2 server directory. Enter the full path to the Lineage 2 game directory
like 'C:\Games\Lineage II'. Then enter the ip you also entered in the server.cfg

Done! You should now be able to play on your server ( start LineageII.exe ), just enter a username and password and that account will be created for you.

-======4.'Admin/GM' commands======-

According to l2chef :

"there are no "GM commands" but there are some development commands in it. so you can play around with those.

".money" gives you 100.000 adena
".buy1" opens up a vendor screen .. try different numbers for different vendors.
".level10" sets your char to level 10, but this has no real effect
".exp100000" sets your exp to 100.000, again this has no meaning
".teleport 2000 3000 4000" .. be careful with this one. you need to enter valid x,y,z coordinates, otherwise your char can not be used any more.

all these commands might vanish soon. a better GM support with Menus will be added"

Now, the fun part, how to give a character some cool items.
First, open a vendor screen ( or go to a shop in elven city, they already work ) and buy alot of cheap things. The more items you buy the more you can create.
Note : these should NOT be stackable, so items like tunica, sockings etc are cool.
Disconnect the person that gets changed ( quit the L2 ). Go to the server directory/data/<accountname>/and open the item file of your character ( with ms excel, preferably )
also open /server directory/data/ the weapon file and the armor file.
Now let's say you'd want to give yourself a God's Blade. In the weapon file, press control+F and enter god. It will search all items
with god in the name and when you found what you want, you check the ID. Remember it, in this case its 82. In your characters item file
you see a list of items that it has and the id's of those. Let's say you bough 20 tunicas. Just change the ID of 1 of the tunica's to
82 and when you relog.. It became a gods blade! Yay!

Giving a character more Hp/SP/Level :

Go to the /server dir/data/youraccountname/ directory and open up the char file from your character. You can change all kinds of stuff there like
HP, SP, Level, STR etc. For me only HP,SP and level worked, else it started to get bugged though.
