Introduction

L1J-En is the active codebase for the L1J-En Lineage Server Emulator (formerly known as lindc). It is an English language port of various L1J variants (mainly L1J-JP), with a reworked database, numerous bugfixes, additional server/database features, and English-translated content.

Several servers are using this project as their active codebase. For full project details of the most popular among these, along with some ancillary information regarding this project, see the LinDC website at: http://www.lineagedc.com

The rest of this information only relates to this code repository.

Why This Repository Exists

L1J-En is the first (and still the only) open-source repository for English-language Lineage server emulation. Now anyone can download this source, modify it to their liking, and run their own server. See the L1J-En FAQ for more information.

Repository Access

Read access is available to everyone. Simply point your favorite SVN client to our repository and start downloading. For help installing the server, see our Setup Wiki.

Like the vast majority of open source projects, commit access is available for anyone who requests, and who at least submits once or twice via email first. This precaution is simply to ensure players and anyone updating from this repository that they will receive quality code and a minimal chance for new bugs. To get started, pick a bug off the issues list or one that annoys you while playing on the server, write a fix for it, and send it in. We'll try our best to make helping as easy as possible, as more development help is always needed.

Legal Information

No proprietary information or copyrighted intellectual property are contained in this repository. L1J-En is available under the GNU General Public License Version 3. For more information on the GPLv3, and before using/modifying any code here, please read the full GPLv3 text.

As this code is free software, there are no expressed or implied warrantees. We are under no obligations to provide support to any consumers of this codebase. This is a volunteer effort, and our primary goal is to improve the server, not provide user support. That said, if you've read the provided documentation and are still having issues, support can often be found on the LineageDC Forums.

Current Status

Milestone 5 has been released!

Note to developers: The L1J-JP revision that this server is currently ported from is 1642. The LinDC revision this project was forked from is 894. A merge-related policy is in effect. This is simply that we will do merges on basis of approximately every 4-6 months (depending on activity upstream). Do NOT merge in random parts without consulting team members - the reason being that merges should have minimal impact on code stability and to consolidate the testing of them. This only applies to the merging in of code from other L1J projects and not to bugfixes or other original changes.
