02. Target Window

This window is only activated when there is a target, and displays the designated target name and HP; however, if the target is another player, only the player's name will be displayed. Click the arrow on the left side of the Target window to view information about your target. You can view Clan and Alliance information for other players, or attribute information for the monster you have selected. Press ESC to cancel the target.

03. Shortcut Window

Item icons from the Inventory window, action icons from the Action window, and active skill and spell icons from the Skills & Magic window can be dragged-and-dropped into the shortcut window. You can register up to 120 hot keys, using 10 hot key bars. The interface shows one bar at a time. To access the extra bars, use the arrows at the top of the shortcut window, or press Alt+F1-F10. Registered shortcuts can be used by pressing the appropriate function key or with a single mouse click.

The shortcut window can be locked by clicking on the lock icon located at the bottom. When the shortcut window is locked, shortcuts cannot be added, moved, or deleted.

The bottom window displays chat messages. The tabs are divided into All, Clan, Party, Trade, and Alliance chat tabs. Drag the tab of each channel to separate windows. If you want to include them in the chat window again, place the dragged tab to its original location. Use the chat window to communicate with other players in the game world.

For clan, alliance, party, and trade chatting, select the corresponding tab from the party window in the game interface to conduct a conversation without having to preface each message with a symbol.

Specific types of chat and their associated commands are listed below.

Basic Chat	To chat with other players in the nearby area, type what you wish to say and press the "Enter" key.
Clan Chat	Type the "@" symbol (Shift-2) and a message, and the message will be displayed to other members of your clan, no matter where they are in the game world.
Alliance Chat	Type the "$" symbol (Shift-4) and a message, and the message will be displayed to other members of your alliance, no matter where they are in the game world.

MSN Messenger

Within Lineage II, players can use the MSN Messenger service of Microsoft to chat with players on the Friends List in game as well as friends outside of the game. Click the Messenger icon in the lower left corner of the chat window to enable MSN Messenger.

While in the game you can chat using MSN with other players registered in the Friends List without a separate MSN registration. If you log in with your MSN Messenger account through the game, you can also do multi-point chatting with other MSN users outside of the game. You can use the basic functions of MSN, such as chatting, user invitation, and status change, but functions such as file transfer or video chatting are not supported.

When you play with another character and log into MSN using the same MSN account, your MSN contact list is displayed the same, but the Friends List in game is maintained by character.

Multiparty Command Window

If a clan leader of a clan above level 5 invites a party with the /channelinvite command or by clicking on the Channel Invitation button in the party action section of the action window (Alt+C) the command channel will be created and chat window activated. Clan members who are not clan leaders may open the command channel when the clan skill “Clan Imperium” is activated.

A maximum number of 50 parties can join one channel.

The channel will automatically disband when the channel creator disbands his party.

If the channel creator terminates the game unexpectedly or transfers party leader privileges to another individual, channel creator privileges are transferred to the new leader. The recipient of these privileges does not have to be a clan leader of a level 5 clan. In other words, the prerequisite of a channel creator is a clan leader of a level 5 clan and a party leader, but merely a party leader is sufficient for subsequent channel maintenance.

Other parties can be invited with the /channelinvite command or by clicking on the Channel Invitation button in the party action section of the action window (Alt+C). If channel invitations have been extended to members of other parties, the invitation message will ask for the invited party leader’s approval.

After the channel has been activated, the channel creator can deliver notices and messages to all characters in the channel by clicking on the All Command icon. Each party leader can chat by clicking on commander chat icon.

The following commands are used in the multiparty command window.

• /channeldelete: Disbands the channel
  
• /channelinvite [name]: Invites parties to channel
  
• /channelkick [leader name]: Expels a party from channel
  
• /channelleave: Withdraws from channel
  
• /channelinfo: Shows information about the channel

Shortcuts & Tips

01. Camera Positioning

Lineage II uses a third person point of view by default. At times, however, you may want to change the camera positioning for ease of movement or to see more of the game world. You can position the camera with the following options:

— Rotate Camera - Move the mouse while holding down the right mouse button to shift the viewpoint to a desired location.

— Zoom In and Out - Use your mouse wheel to zoom in and out. You may zoom in to see character details, or zoom out to widen your view.

— Reverse Camera View - Single-click your mouse wheel to view your character from the front. This may be helpful in seeing enemies coming up from behind when the character is fleeing.

— Change Back to Default - A single right-click of the mouse returns the viewpoint to the default point of view.

— Change Point of View - Use the Page Up and Page Down keys to change from third person to first person point of view.
