  • Deploy the Server

    Get both Server and DataPack ZIPs into the same folder and unzip them.

    The directory where you deploy the server is not important.

    Unzip

    Advanced

    You can deploy the DataPack on another directory and change DataPackRoot in config options.

  • Configure the Server

    Configure both servers

    You need to configure both login and game server.

    Don’t forget Database Passwords

    Server will run on default configuration, you may need to set database password.

    GUI Configuration
  • Install the Database

    You are required to install Login, Game and Community databases.

    To install the database you must go to tools folder and there you have three options:

    .jar

    Cross-platform GUI installer, one per database.

    Database 1 .jar

    Upgrade to keep your data!

    Full install will reset your database. Be careful!

    Database 2 .jar

    We recommend this

    Since it’s modern and pretty straight forward, without so much typing!

    .bat

    Windows only batch installer, install all three databases.

    Database .bat

    Backup attempt failed!

    Don’t worry! If you don’t have a database, there is nothing to back up.

    Upgrade to keep your data!

    Full install will reset your database. Be careful!

    Installer will attempt to create the databases

    The installer will attempt to create the databases, if you are using older server versions you may need to create the databases manually.

    HeidiSQL may help on this!

    .sh

    Unix only shell installer, install all three databases.

    Settings

    Settings

    Fill user, password and database name for each database.

    Backup

    Backup

    If it’s not your first install, it’s recommended to make a backup.

    Once you have the server configured you need run both Login and Game servers.

    Sad Panda
  • Connect to the Server

    In order to connect to the server you have this options:

    HOSTS file

    Edit C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts and add this line:

    # IP DNS
    127.0.0.1 l2authd.lineage2.com
    

    BAT file

    Create a .bat file with the following content:

    @start l2.bin IP=127.0.0.1
    

    Custom exe

    Here is a C++ Win32 exe example:

    #define _WIN32_WINNT _WIN32_WINNT_WINXP
    #define NOMINMAX
    #include <windows.h>
    #include <cstdlib>
    
    // Start L2 as .bin with IP as parameter.
    // You can use IP or DNS as IP parameter.
    // You could include other parameters.
    // You can change the path to the .bin file to avoid including the L2.exe inside the System folder.
    // Author: Zoey76
    int _stdcall wWinMain(HINSTANCE hInst, HINSTANCE prevInst, LPWSTR szCmdLine, int nCmdShow)
    {
    	ShellExecute(0, L"open", L"cmd.exe", L"/C start l2.bin IP=127.0.0.1", 0, SW_HIDE);
    }
