Installation
Java — no explanation needed.
MySQL — see the screenshots.
Navicat — installation should be straightforward. After installing, launch Navicat and create a connection. Name the database l2crusade. See the screenshots below.
Server build — extract it to a drive with plenty of free space.
Open Navicat, and open the database l2crusade. Right-click Backups > Restore Backups, then locate Backups.psc at Drive:\l2crusade\tools. Click Start.
Go to Drive:\l2crusade\game\config and open Server.properties. Find the MySQL password setting and replace it with the password you specified in MySQL.

Next, go to Drive:\l2crusade\login\config and open LoginServer.properties. Find the MySQL password setting and replace it with the password you specified in MySQL.

You can now start the server. Open the login folder and run startLoginServer.bat. Open the game folder and run startGameServer.bat.
System — copy it to the game client folder. Once the server has started, run l2.exe from the system folder. Enter a username and password (automatic registration).
You have successfully started your own local Lineage 2 Grand Crusade server to explore an older version of the game.
