We have reached the end of another MEMORABLE season.
It was just over 5 months of a lot of PvP and fun.


We made a compilation with some of the videos that were not posted (as there were many), for you to remember a little of everything that happened this year.
(other videos have already been published on Facebook, as well as on our Instagram and Youtube)

We thank all of you who participated and made this, "the best server of the year", once again!

As there are many requests for a new season, we leave the following question:
Do you want a 2nd season? Or should we only return next year / 2021? Comment!

I know a lot (at least one) of people was waiting for it... (next rev ? free last version ?)

The Hall of Fame is fed with people who did aCis' story.

Regular people :   BRs and Zemaitis :

PS : if you consider being part of it, please don't hate me and notice me. I relied on Archive section main names.
PS2 : a big amount of people isn't represented, being bug callers or customers. That's 400+ people to name, which I won't do for obvious mental preservation. Even if all of you participate(d) to that big story !

L2 OvC is back for another Interlude season at 14/08/2020 !

Changeset 393 (1913)

L2DatabaseFactory, CreatureStatus, tryToX, Weight system, Organization, Bugfixes

   - Delete all getters used as shortcuts from Creature/Player.
   - Rename setCurrentX to setX (right for CP, MP, HP).
   - Move Cp related methods to PlayerStatus.
   - Delete all redundant StatusUpdate calls. Basically, whatever which was calling setX()- X being HP, MP, CP.
   - AddMp and reduceMp are slightly edited to avoid to call setMp if value isn't worthy to be edited. Implement CreatureStatus#addHp based on those.
   - Implement setMaxHp/HpMp/CPHpMp. Those are optmized to call StatusUpdate only once.
   
tryToX

   - Delete SkillUseHolder container/use, which was generating a lot of objects.

   - Siege#announceToPlayers is renamed Siege#announce and allow SiegeSide as parameters (making it possible to call it independently for ATTACKER and DEFENDER, or both).

Added tag system over Bugs report section, to make things clear. Ty Sido ! 

- "Public Workbench" board is dropped, since it wasn't used as it should be. All shares are moved to "Shares" board.
- All subboards of "Bugs report" are dropped, and content merged with "Bugs report" section. It will be eventually replaced by a tag system.
- Add a subboard "Transitional Crap" on "Bugs report". It reflects the current progress of Bugs report resolution for next revision. When a revision is reached, the whole content is moved to Archives, as it was before.

Public sources have been pushed to 382.

I voluntarily set 382 and not 380, to give you the best experience possible, as currently both latest (390) and 382 share OpenJDK 11.

That will avoid you to play with JDK versions.
