[Tool] L2Axis Control – free companion panel: ping, boss respawns, votes & timers

PLEASE READ FIRST
This is a personal hobby project, NOT an official L2Axis tool.
If you are not a programmer, or you don't understand what the code does,
please wait for an official position from GM RockStar here in the forum before using it.​

Hi everyone!

I'm Snoopdi. I've been playing L2 since the LAN-house days in Brazil, and I built a small companion panel for myself while playing on L2Axis. It turned out useful enough that I wanted to share it with the community. I do this as a hobby, with the sole intention of helping. RockStar is following the development, and the code is 100% open on GitHub so anyone can check it or contribute.

UPDATE – Crafting guide, character plan, masterworks & accessories
A big update focused on helping players reach top-tier gear:

• Step-by-step crafting guide for every top-tier item (Dynasty, Icarus, Moirai, Vesper): crafting order, full material tree and shopping list. For recipes below 100% it already counts the average number of attempts.
• Character profile: pick your race and class and the list shows only what your class uses (weapon type, heavy/light/robe, shield or sigil).
• My plan: the best items for your class in every slot and how to get each one (craft, craft + unseal, masterwork or drop).
• Dual swords & dual daggers: no recipe in High Five. The Blacksmith of Mammon / Ishuma combines two weapons with a Dualsword Craft Stamp, and the guide shows the full tree of both weapons.
• Masterworks as their own entries: the whole chain (craft until the Foundation comes out, ~167 attempts for a 1% weapon or ~42 for 4% armor, then Mammon's varnish and unseal) with the real average cost. Compare ranks weapons by an estimated real damage including the masterwork bonus.
• Gear without a recipe (Vorpal, Elegia, Vesper Noble, boss weapons, Infinity hero weapons, boss jewelry): where it drops (chance, level, area), the NPC exchanges and the sealed version it usually comes as.
• Accessories: shirts, belts, bracelets, talismans and cloaks with their bonuses (talisman slots, inventory/weight, PvP, talisman effect, duration and reuse) and where to get them.
• Item icons straight from your own game client, a bigger resizable window, real panel transparency and a text size option.

Drop chances, masterwork bonuses and exchanges are the official High Five values (L2J datapack). L2Axis may use its own rates, so treat them as a map, not a promise. Base item stats come from the L2Axis client itself.







What's in the panel
It's a floating window, styled like the game's own UI, that keeps everything in one place:

• Craft — the guide described above.
• Votes — all 17 vote sites in one list, with the 4 main ones (★) highlighted. Each site gets its own 12-hour timer, the panel beeps when you can vote again, and one button opens every available site at once. Don't forget .vote afterwards!
• Bosses — respawn countdowns with the exact date and time, level, area and coordinates, filters (epics / dead / favorites), sort by level and level ranges. It beeps when a boss you're watching respawns.
• Network — live ping and packet loss to the server. Tip for South American players: my disconnects were caused by packet loss on the route to Germany, and the free Cloudflare WARP app took it from 23% to 0%.
• Clients — open, focus and arrange your game windows (respects the 4 clients per HWID rule).
• Timers for instances, raids and buffs. Available in English, Portuguese and German.

What it does NOT do: it doesn't touch the game's memory or network traffic, and it never plays for you. No botting, no automation inside the game. It never sends your account or password anywhere.

Note: the Bosses tab reads the Alt+B → Bosses page through a small client tweak that will be released once the staff approves it. Until then that tab stays empty.

Download / update: https://github.com/Michelcm/L2AxisControl (free, open source, MIT) → Code → Download ZIP, extract it inside your L2Axis folder and run install.bat. Already using it? Just replace the files.
Requires Windows 10/11 (the installer sets up Python if needed). Details are in the README.

Feedback, ideas and contributions are very welcome! And a big thank you to RockStar for keeping L2Axis alive — the panel has a little tribute to him, click the medallion in the corner.

A quick note about trust

Some players asked in the chat whether they can trust this tool, and that's a fair question. So, to be clear:

• I'm not staff. This is a hobby project, and my only intention is to help the community.
• I strongly recommend waiting for RockStar's reply here in the forum before you start using it.
• The code is 100% open on GitHub. You don't need to trust me: you can check it yourself. If you're not a programmer, you can give the files to an AI like Claude or ChatGPT and ask it to look for anything malicious.
• The same tools can help you contribute new features. Pull requests and ideas are very welcome.
• The panel never sends your account or password anywhere. Auto-login is optional and only uses passwords you save yourself, encrypted by Windows on your own PC.

Thanks for the feedback, and see you in game!

I had the ZIP reviewed by both ChatGPT and Gemini, and neither found any obvious malicious code or suspicious behavior. Microsoft Defender also scanned it and reported no threats. That isn’t a guarantee of safety, but the results were reassuring.

Thanks to michelmurna for creating L2Axis Control and sharing it with the community. I appreciate the time and effort you put into this!

Thanks a lot, RockStar! I really appreciate you taking the time to have it reviewed.

I’m already working on new features. Next up is better multi-window control: arranging several game clients side by side by hand is a pain, so the panel will handle the layout for you.

If anyone has questions, ideas or finds a bug, feel free to post here or contact me in-game.
