I think that a good programmer may find a way... There is a place where we can hook up in the game guard system without any client modding : the Game Guard driver.

Basically, when you install Lineage 2 or ANY OTHER GameGuard protected game, a system driver is intalled.
this driver is present and "running" even if you are not using Lineage 2, waiting for applications to call it.

The idea would be
1) manually disabling or uninstalling Game Guard driver (driver list, show hidden drivers, select GameGuard driver, properties->disable)
2) install a "GameGuard disabler" driver which would answer to programs which require gameguard and somehow either completely disable GameGuard or fool it into believing everything is OK

This would be nothing more than driver emulation (like we are doing server emulation)... If the original driver is analysed using cleanroom techniques (one team reverse engineer the driver and write specifications, another team write the new driver) then it'd be safe (I think that it could even be DCMA safe)

That was the quick answer, if you want to do it in a hardcore way try the method that Vapulabe suggest.

Please avoid any client modding discussion on this topic or i wil have to close/delete this topic.

I dont refer a moding way.. only if exist ( like a proprties file in the l2jserver ) to enable o diasable gameguard work .. finding the way to run l2 without gameguard

O sea.. Si se puede desactivar el gameguard en algun ini o properties , al igual q en el server, no se trata de armar un mod. para q el l2 funcione si su utilizacion

I´m sorry, make a bad question..I dont have intention. Lo siento si viole alguna regla no tenia la intencion..

GameGuard is a client feature, and it cant be disabled from L2j Server side.
