People wanted to know some basic concepts of the Heaven vs Hell, so i'll post you a thread i made in a developers forum: --------Post------------------------------------------------- Hmm... I have looked recently at the Faction we have atm and i was not pleased with what i saw :S, i hope everyone can fogive me if i re-write that thing with a lot of differences lol.....(reason i say this is because for example the faction should not EVER require a server owner to disable their event engines, it would be crazy cause factions would love to fight each other like crazy!.... also enable certain armor restrictions, so only 1 faction can where some armor, and vice versa. Factions should not be So heavily hard coded so that once you enable it it completely changes the gameplay. Reason i say this now is because i will soon start the Heaven vs Hell System on my server, Factions will be Heaven, Hell. To participate in this faction you must be lvl 80+ with noblesse (which btw on my server is like retail, so its tough). Hell will have hell items, that heaven will not be allowed to wear, and heaven will have heaven items hell will not be allowed to wear. Heaven will also have skills, and Hell will have skills that are only given to heaven or hell players. There will be mobs that are in a "faction"... Heaven Mobs, and Hell Mobs. Hell mobs and heaven mobs if placed near each other will fight one another. The heaven mobs and hell mobs will have healers, mobs that can heal players from the same faction OR mobs from the same faction. Here's the Catch: This is what i'm going to do on my servers java, I will not share the customizations, but i will share the code so anyone can set it up like me, so basically, i will share the java, but i will not share the NPC id's or the custom quest (i am still thinking about this Smiley), simply i will allow the admin to do this: Enable Faction = true Faction 1 Name = Heaven Faction 2 Name = Hell Faction 1 Name Collor = (somecolor) Faction 2 Name Collor = (somecolor) Minimum Level to Enter Faction = 80 FactionRequireNoblesse = true Faction1OnlyItems = id,id,id,id Faction2OnlyItems = id,id,id,id Faction1OnlySkills = id,id,id,id Faction2OnlySkills = id,id,id,id FactionEntryRequireQuest = true Faction1EntryQuest = QuestID Faction2EntryQuest = QuestID FactionMobsFighting = true Faction1MobIds = id,id,id,id Faction2MobIds = id,id,id,id Faction1BossId = id,id,id Faction2BossId = id,id,id Faction1ItemsDropFromHell = true Faction1ItemDropPercent = 1 Faction2ItemsDropFromHeaven = true Faction2ItemsDropPercent = 1 # Faction allowed participate in Events FactionPlayersAllowedInEvents = true # Faction and TvT Configs Faction1AutoAssignedTeam1 = true Factiion2AutoAssignedTeam2 = true # Faction and CTF Configs Faction1AutoAssignedTeam1 = true Faction2AutoAssignedTeam2 = true # Faction and VIP Configs none needed because this is a Characgter Race Battle, not a faction battle (TvT/VIP for that)... # Faction and DM Configs noned neede because this is a Death Match between all players. # Faction and Hide'n'Seen Configs none needed because this is a hide and seek no difference what faction. As you can see everything i said i'd do in my server is possibly done by any other server admin, they just have to set up the configs like they want lol... I will not share my config settings is what i mean Wink.... Also I'm not saying that i'm going to remove features in the current faction, but i'm saying it needs to be HEAVILY edited lol... and Vice, or DaRkRaGe, or anyone who is intersted in helping me with this is welcome. (Java Side Knowledge essential) If you have any suggestions or things you'd like me to add while i'm at it let me know! PS: Things like allowing Clans to have both Heaven and Hell will be configurable, etc no Lineage 2 feature will be disabled or not work properly without a config option to disable it or make it work a certain way. ------------------------------------------------------------- Some things were left out in that post....like the mobs that are fighting against each other advance as you kill the mobs of the opposing side, and when you've killed them and now face the boss of that opposing side then the mobs from your side that have made it with you help you take down the raid boss....strategies like healing your sides mobs will help wink.gif....
