Lineage 2 uses a set of encryption to encode there INI files so the average user can not update the info in them. Here in are a number of hacked INI files as well as a tool that you can use to encrypt and decrypt the INI files.

-=**Please Note**=-
1. In no way do I take responsibility for what you do to your system.
2. All the files here in are virus free and work on my system.
3. As with any game file modification back up your original file before overwriting it with a modded/hacked copy!
4. The INI files that I have included are ONLY for the NAOB. They will not work with any other client. Decrypt them to see how this is done if you would like to mod your non-NAOB copy of L2.


-=============-
L2 INI Converter
-=============-
This exe file will allow you to decrypt and encrypt the Lineage 2 INI files. This program only runs in dos mode so some dos experience will be use full when using it.

Overview on l2convert.exe operation.
1. Extract the l2convert.exe file to a directory of your choice. Then copy what ever Lineage 2 INI file you wish to decrypt/encrypt to the same directory.

2. You will now need to open up a command prompt window. This is done by going to run then typing either :

Code: Select all

"cmd" for windows 2000, xp, 2003
or

Code: Select all

"command" for windows 98, 98se, millennium
3. Inside the new command prompt window goto the directory where you decompressed the l2convert.exe file and copyed your INI files to.

4. The way that the l2convert.exe files command like should be used is as follows :

Code: Select all

USAGE: l2convert action [output]

ACTION (only one, mandatory):
    -e input file     file to encrypt
    -n input file     file to encrypt (don't add header)
    -d input file     file to decrypt
    -f input file     file to decrypt (force if no header is found)

OUTPUT (optional):
    filename

If output is not given, then enc- or dec- prefix is added to input file.
5. To convert your file use :

Code: Select all

l2convert -d l2.ini
This will create the file "dec-l2.ini" which is plain text and can be edited freely.

6. In order to use your edited INI file you will need to re-encrypt it, to do this run :

Code: Select all

l2convert -e dec-l2.ini l2.ini
The file will be re-encrypted and have the name changed to "l2.ini" instead of the default "enc-l2.ini". After the file has been encrypted copy it back to the Lineage 2 system directory. And thats it!

INI files
-=============-
Zoom hack -
This modded INI will allow you to zoom away from your toon more then the game was intended. This is useful in any number of situations. (ex. Seeing all the mobs around you and not just the ones that are close and in front of you. Recording video or taking screen shots. etc)

http://home.att.net/~otaku4love/tault.com-zoom-hack.ini
*zoom-hack.ini will need to be renamed User.ini and placed in your Lineage 2 system directory.

Window Hack
This modded INI will allow you to run the game client in a window. This will work in all resolutions and color depths. As well as using less system recourses. To move to full screen press :

Code: Select all

Alt+Ctrl-LeftShift-Enter 
To return to a windowed state press:

Code: Select all

Alt+H 
Alt+Ctrl-LeftShift-Enter
http://home.att.net/~otaku4love/tault.c ... ow-mod.ini
*window-hack.ini will need to be renamed l2.ini and placed in your Lineage 2 system directory.

-=============-
Running dual clients!
-=============-
**In order to do this you will have to have read and understood the "L2 INI Converter" section. If you have not, please scroll up and read over it.**

These are the steps to take in order to run dual clients. You will have to be using the window hack above, otherwise you can not move between the two sessions and the amount of recourses need will be huge. In order to have this work out you need to have a really strong system.

Lets get started.

1. First thing you need to do is make copys of three files from your Lineage 2 system directory. They are "L2.exe" "l2.ini" and "l2.int".

2. Decrypt the "l2.ini" file so you can edit it (to do this read above about "L2 INI Converter".)

3. Edit the decrypted l2.ini file with your favorite text editor. In the 10th line down you should see a line that reads.

Code: Select all

EXEName=l2.exe
Edit this to read

Code: Select all

EXEName=l3.exe (or to a name you chose)
and save the file.

4. Now we re-encrypt the edited "l2.ini". (Again via the "L2 INI Converter" section.)

5. At this point we need to change the name of the 3 files we copyed in step one. The name you chance the files to should follow the same name you edited into the "l2.ini" file. (I used "l3.exe" if you look back to step 3) The files should look something like this :

Code: Select all

l2.exe ==> l3.exe
l2.ini ==> l3.ini
l2.int ==> l3.int
6. Copy your newly renamed files back to the lineage 2 system directory. Then right click on each exe file (l2.exe & l3.exe). From the pop up menu select "Create Shortcut". Then move the newly created links/shortcuts to your desktop. When you run these 2 file, one after the other you should now have two lineage 2 clients up and running ^^.

If a Mod or Op would be so kind as to make copys of the files I have linked in this doc and host them on Tault.com. Perhaps under a Premium section or something I would be greatful. Don't want to much trafic thrown at my isp's homepage =p

Enjoy!

Will running two clients allow you to use the same account to play or do you need another account.

It should start up in windowed mode. Do you perhaps have the game set at the same resolution as your desktop is? The resolution in game should be less then your desktop. If that does not work write back and I'll see what I can come up with. Oh one other thing, you are in the NAOB right?

Okie, as im sure you have tried, exit out and then re-enter the game. Sometime it has problems with dropping the resolution, and after restarting everything should be fine.... I hope at least =D

It has come to my attention that !@#$%^&*.org is using my content without giving me access to there site. This really sucks as I offered it to them and they said they already had it. I have e-mailed the admin and if does not make with an account I am going to have to block them from the downloads. If this happens there will be a moment of time where the links are down, but they will be up a few hours later. Sorrie if this causes anyone issues.

A user of this site must have submited my article to !@#$%^&*.org, !@#$%^&*.org was not at fault and the situation has been resolved.
