Help with client modding.

Due to the fact that l2w doesnt work on pservers, dualbox needs a boost. Mainly in PC performance.
Is there any way to mod the client so that it only displays the interface (no textures and no terrain)
I imagine this can be done by tampering with the options.ini and l2.ini but unfortunetly i have no idea what to edit there.
thx in advance :D

I realized that i encountered a bug while playing l2 on priv server, some NPC's didnt appear at all, so i did some testing:

You need to make a copy of your l2 folder for this

You can safely remove the content of Static meshes folder, it wont crash the game, and things like buildings wont appear anymore(all static meshes)
Removing Animation folder content is 50/50, game crashes at certain points. From what i can tell its when someone uses a bow, i tried readding seperate files and didnt manage to fix it. When all files were readded, it was fixed.
You can edit Options.ini under clippingrange all values can be set either to 0 or -9999999999.999999 . Seems like it has a minimum clipping range for terrain, so i couldnt get the terrain to disapear. But this halfly fixes what couldnt be fixed with animation folder. Other Players and characters still appear, but only for a few secs.
You need to make friends with /invite /target /assist and other commands for this one. This reduces a LOT of laag.

Info on how to remove lights, textures, terrain would apriciated a lot. [img]text2schild.php?smilienummer=1&text=plixors' border='0' alt='plixors' />
