Hello , so i have maded latest l2j nightly build server !

All files that i got there is -

cb_sql
community
doc
gameserver
images
languages
libs
login
sql
tools

Server is working fine , no errors and everyone can join , except for some java bugs when hitting antharas and teleporting away when hitting valakas , but this time not about that !

So i want to know how i can insert my patches !

I used program eclipse and i wanted to import this -

viewtopic.php?f=73&t=14551&hilit=aio

Than i used SVN http://svn.l2jserver.com/trunk/ (I really dunno for what i need those files and what they are doing , really i have no idea ! it looks like a full server , but i cant start it , and there isnt an db installer file too , but i watched some guide how to compile and there they was doing this so i tried that too) but the thing is , when i do the svn , than i can apply my patch , and i applied that AIOITEM both .txt files and all what they gaved me was 3 folders ! One was Java other one was data and the last one was sql ! But i have no idea where to put those files ! Ok i know where to put data folder /gameserver/data !

But where to put Java folder idk cause i have only those folders who is posted earlier ! And in that java folder is more 2 folders com and config !

I really need help , how to apply this all correctly !


Thanks :)

please... do everyone a favor and DON'T administrate an l2j server. Believe me, if you can't figure out even this little, nobody is going to babysit you.
This is not meant to be offensive, I'm just stating a fact.

Wikipedia wrote:SVN, Subversion is a software versioning and a revision control system.
Developers use Subversion to maintain current and historical versions of files such as source code, web pages, and documentation.
The project divides in two main parts, datapack and core.

The datapack is pretty much the data from the game, such as npc's skills, spawn and stats, player's skills and stats, quests and events, monsters spawn, skills, stats and AI in some cases, etc.
The core handles the game mechanic, such as movement, damage, how skills work, player's restrictions, level system, etc.

There are some addons that you can merge within the server such as some quest and some events that doesn't require support from core, beside the already existing.

There are others that need core support, this means that you have to add that support.
In order to do that you need the core's source code.

The nightly packs come precompiled and you won't be able to modify/add new code to it.

To get the source code you must use subversion software and to edit it, you should use an IDE such as Eclipse.

Also Eclipse allow you to compile the new code, this new compiled version will reflect the changes you've made to it.

The changes in the code are shared in the form of patches, a patch or a diff file is a file that contains the code that could be removed and the code that could be added, the lines where the changes will be done are set in the header of the patches and the lines that should be removed are marked with - and the new lines are marked with +.

Eclipse also allow you to apply patches, without guessing anything.

It's important that you read about Java if you want to learn something about programming and how new things you are adding to your server will work.

It'd be good if you check this:

Antharas and Valakas are retailllike. if u r hitting them first, then they will tele u to the city. if u dont know, dont state this as bug.
