[SHARE]Guide How to create\set up a faction server

In this guide we wil learn how to set up/optimize a faction server like gve
Guide status:v3

First of all faction system was created by Evill33t and for his old server and now the files are stored in his l2jteam "L2JFREE"

Note:The guide was created by EzEraL(John Lamprou)

Checkout L2jfree source

First because evilL33t create this wonderfull system, in this thread we
give support only for l2jfree not other pack that you want to add the
files

So go toL2jfree svn and checkout with eclipse

If you dont now what eclipse is,search in forums or l2j repository for
guides.When you download the source code of l2jfree you will see 3
folders.
1)Trunk
2)Branches
3)Tages

If you want to make a faction(gve)server interlude go to trunk folder if you want a c5 go to branches.

Faction files read

Well to be able to start and make a server like this, you must first
read the files carefully.So i will tell you what files to read

The faction files are located in:
1)src\main\java\net\sf\l2j\gameserver\instancemanage r.Here you will find FanctionManager.java and FanctionQuestManager

2)src\main\java\net\sf\l2j\gameserver\model/actor/instance.Here you will find the L2FanctionQuestManagerInstance

3)src\main\java\net\sf\l2j\gameserver\model\entity\f action.Here you will find the Faction.java the FactionQuest.java and FactionMember.java

Read these files carefully and you will understand many things of what you must to do!

Acivate Faction system

Go to trunk/L2_GameServer_IL/src/main/java/net/sf/l2j(for interlude-for c5 the same but in branches folder)
In this location you will find a file called "config.java"Open
it with notepad and go to up options and press "Edit"and select "Find"and write faction and press enter.So you will see

public static boolean FACTION_ENABLED = false;
public static boolean FACTION_KILL_REWARD = false;
public static int FACTION_KILL_RATE = 1000;
public static int FACTION_QUEST_RATE = 1;

change with that

public static boolean FACTION_ENABLED = true;
public static boolean FACTION_KILL_REWARD = true;
public static int FACTION_KILL_RATE = 1000;
public static int FACTION_QUEST_RATE = 1;

With these configs i enable the faction engine and faction point.If you want you can change faction quests rate....
Save it and thats all for enamble it

New tables and htms required

Well after you read a bit the source code of l2jfree you will understand that there are missing some sqls and htms

This happen because evil33t wanted not leach ppl so thats why he didnt share.So you must created by your own

Sql part:
"faction_members.sql" "character_faction_quests.sql" factions.sql
faction_quests..sql
Be carefull that the sqls must be in the correct sql syntax

Faction_members.sql info...

This sql must have the following things
-- ----------------------------
-- Table structure for `faction_members`
-- ----------------------------
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `faction_members` (
`player_id` INT NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
`faction_id` INT NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
`faction_points` INT NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
`contributions` INT NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
`join_date` INT NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
PRIMARY KEY (`player_id`,`faction_id`,`faction_points`,`contri butions`,`join_date`)
) DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;

faction_quests.sql info....

This sql must have the following things
-- ----------------------------
-- Table structure for `faction_quests`
-- ----------------------------
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `faction_quests` (
`id` INT NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
`faction_id` INT NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
`name` INT NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
`description` INT NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
`reward` INT NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
`mobid` INT NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
`amount` INT NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
`min_level` INT NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`,`faction_id`,`name`,`description`,`reward`,` mobid`,`amount`,`min_level`)
) DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;


character_faction_quests.sql info..

This sql must have the following info...
-- ----------------------------
-- Table structure for `character_faction_quests`
-- ----------------------------
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `character_faction_quests` (
`char_id` INT NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
`faction_quest_id` INT NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
PRIMARY KEY (`char_id`,`faction_quest_id`)
) DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;

faction.sql info..

This sql must have the following info..
-- ----------------------------
-- Table structure for `factions`
-- ----------------------------
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `factions` (
`id` INT NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
`name` INT NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
`price` INT NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
`allowed_classes` INT NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
`titlelist` INT NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
`npcs` INT NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
`points` INT NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
`side` INT NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`,`name`,`price`,`allowed_classes`,`titlelist` ,`npcs`,`points`,`side`)
) DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;

Htm side:

Well simply create the followings htms:

start.htm
already.htm
switch.htm
join.htm
accepted.htm
noadena.htm
switched.htm
declined.htm
askquit.htm
story.htm
quited.htm
quest.htm
shop.htm
wrong.htm

The htm files must be located in data\html\faction

No comment for htms.Easy read source to see.Dont post how to make htms because you leachning

Compile

If you dont now l2jfree in not support ant for compile but maven.Many
ppl think that maven is difficult but believe me it is more easy and
better in my opinion
So lets go to the final part.After you do all things that i post in the guide compile the server and you are ready

For compile with maven guides go to l2jfree website L2j-free - Index or read my guide that its similar but it has more details in ragezone




FAQ

What is faction system?

Faction
system was created by evil33t for his server.It is like gve but it is
not gve.You can choose factions that characters will join and many
other things such us faction points and faction war event


Is this a gve system?

No
but it is the most close for it.It has 3 factions (default
good,evil,neutral)and many other things that related on gve for example
the buff coin and you can take a town in your side by winning it

How i can change the faction names because the defaults are neutral,good and evil?

In the file faction.java which is located in "src\main\java\net\sf\l2j\gameserver\model\entity\ faction"

Have fun....
