Hello. I've searched all over the forum for STEP by STEP update from Gracia Final to Epilogue but i couldnt find it. I remember like 2 days ago i found one but i guess now its been deleted or something like that because the link isnt loading at all. Can some one please give me that kind of guide ?
I am trying to update my public server and i'd like to keep my char data but anyway i got some custom NPCs, so i badly need this guide. Thanks in advance and sorry disturbing you with my lame questions but its my first update and dont wanna make any kind of mistake and or data lose.

Im guessing you did not modified l2j and l2jdp using eclispe and keeping changes, so:
- Dump all char related tables
- Go to the tables you edited (eg, npc as you said) and find all custom stuff you added (you may have a list )
- Do the same with all files you created (or maybe edited and that you wanna keep changes) from gameserver/data
folder (html, xml, script..)
- Back up your config folder if you dunno remember how did you configure the server and wanna keep that config
* In case you modified anything from the core, be sure you take a diff of all your changes

Now all needed data is saved. So, first install fresh server (w/o cb)
- Download the precompiled files from nightly or download and compile the source if you need (second option if you have to apply any core diff, in which case you will have to do it manually)
- Unzip both rars into your server folder
- go to tools/database_installer, start up it (Provide your mysql binaries path, then all database needed info and install a new database)
- Check the table structures diferencies from gf to ge and use the ALTER sql statement to make your gf tables look like ge tables
- Put all custom files you saved from data folder in their respective places and replace (if you want) the edited you saved
- If you saved any script, be sure the imports (and the inside methods used) are according with current l2j imports/methods/classes
- Configure the server (by yourself or taking a look in the config you saved)
