Hello everyone,
I'm interested in creating a Lineage 2 Essence along with two friends - we are all long-time players but new to the actual dev side.
I'm a sysadmin and my friends are devs, but we have limited to no experience with the internals of L2J/Mobius.
We're looking for some guidance to get the project started.
Currently we are testing different server chronicles - but bottom line we'd like to focus on the Essence version.
Sepcifically, we'd like to understand:
- Which Essence files do you recommend to start with?
- What mandatory tools we need to have for proper development
- Best practices for client patching, configuring, geodata and debugging issues
- Realistic time to replicate or rebuild existing systems from other servers
- Is this type of project manageable in 3-4 people?
We're open to paid consultancy or mentoring, ideally from someone with experience.
Thank you!
