Q: BUILD FAILED, help, what's this error? :
| - [javac] Compiling 1009 source files to workspaceL2_GameServerbuildclasses BUILD FAILED: workspaceL2_GameServerbuild.xml:61: Unable to find a javac compiler; com.sun.tools.javac.Main is not on the classpath. |
Check Window-> Preferences->Ant->Runtime->Ant Home Entries (Default)
has JDK /lib/tools.jar listed.
If not there add it to External jars
Or
To set JAVA_HOME:
- right click "My Computer" -> properties
- In the window, you should have an "advanced" tab, go to it, then click "environment variables"
- In system varibles, click new, and create a new one as follow (if it's not allready there):
Name: JAVA_HOME
value : C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.5.0_03 or where ever you installed your JDK
OR Check that Eclipse has registered the correct JRE from your JDK install.
Window-> Preferences->Java->Installed JREs
OR try setting the CLASSPATH:
Open a Command Prompt and type:
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;C:/path/to/Java/jdk1.5.0_03
One of those should fix the problem.
Q: Client Terminated Connection whats does this mean?
A: It means the client that was trying to connect, successfully connected to the LoginServer and is now being passed to the GameServer.
Q: I have this error:
| Exception in thread "main" java.net.BindException: Address already in use: JVM_Bind |
A: Something is already using the port allocations that the server needs to run on. It can not bind to the ports that it needs. A second copy of the server is running or some other software such as Kazza is in use. Close all other applications on the server and try again.
Q: I get this error when compiling with Eclipse:
| [exec] Execute failed: java.io.IOException: CreateProcess: svnversion -n . error=2 |
If you would like the commandline subversion you can get it here:
subversion
Again, this is not needed. Only optional.
Q: I got a java error:
| Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: net/sf/l2j/Se rver (Unsupported major.minor version 49.0) at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass0(Native Method) at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass(Unknown Source) at java.security.SecureClassLoader.defineClass(Unknown Source) at java.net.URLClassLoader.defineClass(Unknown Source) at java.net.URLClassLoader.access$100(Unknown Source) at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(Unknown Source) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(Unknown Source) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source) at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClassInternal(Unknown Source) |
If version 1.4 and 1.5 are on the PATH, it reads the first version it comes to and loads that one, ignoring the second one.
Type set in a command prompt to check your systems PATH or CLASSPATH. (windows)
Type env in a command prompt to check your systems PATH or CLASSPATH. (linux)
Q: I got another java error:
| com.mchange.v2.resourcepool.BasicResourcePool$AcquireTask@b02efa -- Acquisition Attempt Failed!!! Clearing pending acquires. While trying to acquire a needed new resource, we failed to succeed more than the maximum number of allowed acquisition attempts (30). Exception in thread "main" java.sql.SQLException: Connections could not be acquired from the underlying database! |
Make sure your configurations are correct in your properties files
Q: Incorrect Packet checksum, what's this ?
A: Currently L2J server is not compatable with the 793 or lower of the client.
Update your client by running LineageII.exe in your clients main folder.
Q: How can I use TELNET ?
A: Telenet is used to remotely control gameserver or loginserver.
Look in file /gameserver/config/telnet.properties or /loginserver/config/telnet.properties and enable Telnet:
| Telnet is disabled by default.
EnableTelnet = True |
| #If the following is not set, a random password is generated on server startup.
StatusPW = yourpasswordhere |
| #This is the port telnet server will bind to
StatusPort = 12345 |
| ListOfHosts = 127.0.0.1,localhost |
Please refer to your OS specifications to find how to make a Telnet connection.
For Windows you can read Telnet How To guide.
After successfully established a telnet connection type "help" for a list of available commands.
Q Can I change servers names?
A: No. Server names are client side (encrypted into a file).So, to change servers names client modding is required and this is illegal. Servers names from xml file are there just to allow a easly selection, changing them will not change name displayed at login.
How can I disable startup text?
"Welcome to the world of Lineage II.
This server is running L2J version"...bla bla
A: That is the L2J copyright. No one is allowed to remove it.
Don't like it, Don't use any L2J software.
Anyone who does remove our copyright notice, take note, we will excercise our rights.
