Developer mode in Lineage 2
To switch to developer mode, you need to edit the file system/l2.ini, or better yet, create a copy of this file named something like devl2.ini
and add the parameter -INI=devl2.ini
to the shortcut for l2.exe
.
I recommend saving the original l2.ini
file, as it might be accidentally overwritten by the game after entering developer mode.
Search for and download the L2FileEdit program, which will allow you to modify the encrypted lines of the l2.ini file.
Run the program, open your l2.ini
through it, and at the very beginning of the file, replace the corresponding lines with the following:
[url]Protocol=unreal
ProtocolDescription=Unreal Protocol
Name=Player
Map=Index.unr
LocalMap=20_20.unr
Host=
Portal=
MapExt=unr
EXEName=l2.exe
SaveExt=usa
Port=7777
Class=LineageWarrior.MFighter
ServerAddr=127.0.0.1
IsL2NetLogin=False
IsL2Console=False
IsL2Seamless=True
IsL2Projector=True
ISL2Mark=2
ForceAspectRatio=False
AspectRatio=1.334
IsDefaultShaodw=False
IsUnderWaterEffect=False
IsUseCommand=False
L2VersionCheck=false
IsL2MemLog=False
L2ThreadFilter=1
L2TestServer=false
EnablePurgeLevel=True
SharedSky=True
L2MaxPawnResourceLoad=1.0
L2UseKeyCrypt=false
L2UseReplayManager=true
EnableSecondWindow=true
Where LocalMap=20_20.unr
specifies the square (center of the square) where you will appear after logging into the game. You can check the square divisions on the geodata maps.
For convenience, you can edit the screen resolution:
[WinDrv.WindowsClient]
WindowedViewportX=1280
WindowedViewportY=1024
FullscreenViewportX=1280
FullscreenViewportY=1024
And at the very end of the file, add the following section:
[L2PawnViewer]
ST_HEAD=0
ST_RHAND=0
ST_LHAND=0
ST_GLOVES=0
ST_CHEST=0
ST_LEGS=0
ST_FEET=0
ST_BACK=0
ST_RLHAND=1299
After completing the file modifications, close any external software and launch the client through system/l2.exe
, just as you would normally.
If everything went well, you will appear somewhere on the map (the square chosen above), but the interface will be empty.
To access the control panel, press TAB
(a console line will appear at the bottom, or it might not, but don't worry — just perform these actions) and enter the command you need:
Commands:
- pv - view armor, weapons, and all items in the game, character animations, change appearance, etc. In this mode, you can create copies of characters and move between them. There is also a load testing mode that automatically creates a specified number of characters in one location, using different skills.
- sv - view animations and properties of all skills.
- nv - view models and animations of all NPCs.
- ghost - "ghost" mode. Allows you to walk through walls, fly in the air, and move underground.
- hero - adds hero glow (doesn't work on all versions).
- fly - in older versions, this is similar to ghost mode but without passing through textures. In newer game updates, it throws the character upwards. It doesn't work near obstacles, and frequent use can cause client crashes.
- exit - exit the game.
After entering a command, press Enter.
Notes:
To change the character’s movement speed, go to the nv panel, find the speed line, and enter the desired running speed. It resets after teleporting or changing skins. If you use too high a value, the game will crash with an error.
To teleport to another location, press the Insert key and choose the required map file.
Tested on the Lineage 2 Interlude client, but it should work with any version.
