Contribution Guide

Thank you for deciding to add a video to the archive! You can access the page to add an entry by clicking the Add video button on the main page or directly here: https://neiz.xyz/add.html

Sources

You can add a video either by uploading a file that you have, or by adding a youtube link. Both are perfectly fine. If you have both sources for a video, add them both! It will be processed using the file, and a youtube link will be added. AVI files and other old formats are fine too, even though they are not web compatible. This will be detected and automatically converted into an .mp4 format. The maximum size for a file is 5 GB. If your file is bigger, then use a youtube link if there is one. If not, please DM me directly on Discord (@neiz).

Filling out the form

In the form, please fill out as many fields as you can. The bold labelled fields are mandatory (the form will not submit without them) but the aim is to fill out as many as you can. To make this easier, here are some tips:

• Check if the video is not yet added.
• Videos from retail servers can be roughly matched to a year as long as you can figure out the patch, using the table here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lineage_II#Content_patches
• If there are multiple Points-Of-View (POVs) in the video, use the Another POV button to expand the form and fill out additional POV(s) (up to 4).
• Skim the video to figure out the Clan and Alliance of the player. Chances are the player will click on a party member at some point. If you don't know, ask in Discord if anyone recognizes the crest.
• There are differences in versions of the game that you can use to pinpoint the exact version, with the help of https://legacy-lineage2.com/news/career.html - some examples:
  • Font/Interface changes (Prelude - C1 - C2 - C3)
  • Cursor change from flat to 3D and CP bar change (C3 -> C4)
  • S grade equipment (C4)
  • Expandable skill bar (C5)
  • Augmentation, 80 level cap and bubbles/charges (Interlude)
  • Interface change from blue to brown (The Kamael)
  • 85 level cap, improved pets, Dynasty equipment, reuse of skills in system chat (Hellbound)
  • S/D bar separated, Vitality system (Gracia Part 1)
  • Invincibility debuff, Labyrinth of Abyss (Gracia Part 2)
  • New war tag graphic, character in inventory display, TW, Vesper equipment (Gracia Final)

And of course, if you are unsure please ask in Discord. Don't forget to fill out your name at the bottom of the form!

Corrections

Did you forget to fill out something? Did you notice a mistake in some other entry? Is there a missing Clan field that you know the name of? Please mention it in the #corrections channel.

Thanks!
