Skill Duration​

To change the default skill abnormal time duration, two settings must be changed ModifySkillDuration and SkillDuration.

ModifySkillDuration is a boolean parameter that enables or disables this configuration.

SkillDuration is a list of skill ID and duration time in seconds.

Adding New Custom Skills​

L2J Server allows you to easily create custom skills to enhance your server's gameplay.

Configuration​

To enable the loading of custom skills, you must first enable the option in your configuration file.

Open config/general.properties and set:

CustomSkillsLoad = True

Creating the XML File​

Custom skills should be defined in XML files located in the data/stats/skills/custom/ directory.

XML Format & Example​

Below is the standard format for custom skills. Note the use of the displayId parameter.

data/stats/skills/custom/my_custom_skills.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<list xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="../../../xsd/skills.xsd">
	<skill id="10001" levels="1" name="Mana Potion">
		<set name="affectScope" val="SINGLE" />
		<set name="displayId" val="2288" />
		<set name="isMagic" val="2" />
		<set name="itemConsumeCount" val="1" />
		<set name="itemConsumeId" val="728" />
		<set name="magicLvl" val="1" />
		<set name="operateType" val="A1" />
		<set name="reuseDelay" val="500" />
		<set name="targetType" val="SELF" />
		<effects>
			<effect name="Mp">
				<param amount="100" />
			</effect>
		</effects>
	</skill>
</list>

Understanding displayId​

The <set name="displayId" val="2288" /> parameter is a convenient way to handle client-side visuals for custom skills.

  • How it works: It tells the game client to use the icon, name, and description of an existing skill (in this case, Skill ID 2288) for your custom skill.
  • Benefit: This allows you to create new server-side skills without needing to edit client files if you can find an existing skill that visually matches what you want.
