L2J Server

Hi Guys,
I have setup the latest L2J server on my PC 2 days ago. After initial hustle with settings, I managed to connect and played for some time on my own. Then I decided to single handedly siege the Giran castle (after bumping my stats and weapons appropriately). I started the siege and the NPC guards appeared, but none of them would attack me. They were just standing there. Even the default action I got when pointing at them was 'talking', and not 'attacking'. I was able to force the attack and killed them without problems. But why don't they attack me? What is the point of the siege then? Just boring... Furthermore, I was not able to attack (interact?) with the artifact behind the throne room. I thought that it is necessary to attack it to get the castle. In the end, I just handed over the castle to myself using GM commands.

Can you suggest me what I did wrong with the setup? Is there any GM command I need to issue to make the NPCs defend the castle? What must I do during siege to take over the castle?

Is there no one who could help me?

Try deactivating the //invul stat for your GM char.

Is your character a member of a registered clan? Does your Character have the Seal of Ruler skill? You may want to take a read at http://www.lineage2.com/Knowledge/castle.html

The Server Core and DP assumes that you follow the rules put in place by the retail version of the game.

btw, you all so need to be the leader of a Lvl 4 Clan to get the Seal of Ruler skill. And why have you posted this in the Tools section?

Here is what I did in more detail:
I went to the church in Giran and talked with the priest there to create a clan. Then I leveled it up until, there were items required. I could not find the Evidence of Blood item in the database, so I did not know which ID to use to get it in the game. Then I found an option in admin menu to set a level for the clan, so I made it level 11 . Then I went in front of the Giran castle and used admin menu to add my new clan as attacking in the siege. Then I started the siege, again from the admin menu. The NPCs appeared, but they did not defend the castle. They just stood there....

Any ideas how to make the guards attack me?

user //gm to remove your gm status and then try

No, removing GM right does not change any thing. The guards are still standing still.

Any other suggestions? Does L2J support this feature at all?

It actually worked after few moments without GM status. Thanks!
