Final Fantasy XI (Online) Private Server files

Thanks! update went smooth, but after he logs in with MXI 9 nothing happens still :\

um... it maybe that mXI is faulty. Have you tried to run 0.7.1 mXI yet? Oh I know what's wrong I bet. Run it as administrator before you try mXI 0.7.1. If that doesn't fix it, then try the other :) Hope that's what is wrong.

If they're running Windows 7, or Windows Vista, running it as administrator is a must.

this is so weird, i got a windows 7 32 bit laptop and i did all that and it worked, did the same thing on my friends PC, still nothing happens after login.

this is what we did on his PC:

cracked files > updated > ran mXI 0.7.1 as admin > logged in >wait forever.

hell man i donno... i'm outta ideas. you seem like you know what you're doing, especially if you're already doing it on a different pc. i did install it on a friend's pc too and he had winxp but he had no ethernet driver, so the little LAN thing wasn't in Network Connections. This became a problem because I couldn't use the Localhost 127.0.0.1 so I just formatted his HDD to Windows 7. I'm not saying you should format, especially if it's just a problem with mXI, but there maybe a different problem causing it not to run. Although, I can't think of anything that would keep mXI from running, other than it not being ran as administrator. If you installed ffxi, broke it, updated, loaded the server, loaded the spiraxi or lionhartxi, and ran mxi. I had read you needed to run Final Fantasy XI Config and change it to "Start in Windowed Mode," but that's really the last thing I can possibly think of.

Haha yeah we already decided on formatting, hopefully this will work, if not, it must just be something hardware related as you said, and we will giving up on his PC, especially since we got in-game with 4 other PC's seamlessly. Thanks for all your ideas though, too bad it came down to this but no biggy.

I'll post the results.

i installed wotg to see if that fixed the problem with missions quests not loading.. maybe some data was missing causing it to "download data..." constantly... this screwed up my ffxi.... so i reinstalled... the update have been going for 12 hours and its only done 20%!!! anyone know whats going on??

i did it about a week or 2 ago and it took about 6 hours. ( i wouldnt recommend installing wotg lol)

update:
never mind i did it in work and it was fine... so its a problem in my house.

i was gonna say, that sucks!!! lol. glad it worked itself out.

*Hey guys, I being reading up on what you guys been doing lately. I am just so new to this even though I got it to work. I just want to know if I had miss out on any new version?

*I would prefer the version PXI 6.4 but does not have job traits. If only the version SpiraXI that have job traits can combine to this version would be sweet!

*Anyways, thanks for the hard work guys...

I wouldn't know how to do that. There are people working on it, however. Just be patient, and in the meantime maybe learn some C++ and/or lua so you can help too? :D If you know someone who knows how to code, tellem to visit this forum. I've been trying to do that as much as possible, since I don't know jack about it.

Personally, I couldn't stand 0.6.4. I wanted Haste and Refresh, I didn't really care about the elemental nukes. The roaming mobs were about the only good thing about that version, and when you ran up to hit one of the mobs, it'd run into the wall so you couldn't target it most of the time. I can only assume they were in the process of fixing that, and that's why mobs don't roam in the newer version. But, I hardly even play now, I just want it to work like it should. Without quests, or missions, there's really not all that much to do anyway. Except run around mindlessly hacking and slashing at mobs for no good reason :) I'm just sayin'

Not sure if I have the wrong database, but mnk is not attacking two handed, even with the changed exe. Also, the attack speed is too fast. At lvl 1 mnk has a delay of 480 (240 per fist). 180 delay is 3 seconds.

With possible traits not working, that would obviously affect the rate, in which case you can ignore my statement above.

Other strange elements is I have all the current expansions, but the front page is only showing the crystalline prophecy as the current one, which is incorrect. Not sure how to solve this. I realize not all things are working at this point. Just figuring that if I have anything I can fix on my own, I'm going to try to do so.

Not sure if anyone is aware, but last I knew before the project shut down, they were capturing packets from the actual game on mob locations and names (the current .dat files in the scripts). Updates usually break them. So if you have mobs with wrong names, etc. While running around, those files are the ones that need updated.

Also found some commands, if any did not have them, listed here: [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]

Am I correct that pet jobs are broken? I do not see any scripts for anything that has to do with the pet jobs.
I see the data base has all the info to support it.
Another question, my server is flooding. cannot open scripts/globals/effects/Reraise.lua , Divine_Veil.lua , Subtle_Blow.lua .....
Are these just mission scripts as well? if so when the action is done in the game is it just an empty motion without any real effect?
Thank

that list of gm commands is outdated. there are more it doesn't mention, and some of those cause crashes. i haven't tried them all though. the flooding i think is caused because it's trying to pull a lua file that is not there. i mean, if it says it can't find a file in that location, look for it. I was able to copy the information from Asuran_Fists.lua and paste it to a new file I made called Final_Heaven.lua and it actually did damage. I know the info isn't right, but it does do damage. the crystalline prophecy seems right with whatever items are in the database that i'm using. it goes up to Nuevo Coselete (sp?), Mirke Wardecors, etc... which were the body pieces added with that expansion. I'm not sure why it is this way, I just know what I've seen. h2h works on my database, maybe not with the correct delay but i'm sure that information you provided will become useful :)

Sorry about the bad information then, I'll work to test before listing the information regarding the commands.

The mnk material in question regarding delays and the timing I quoted was listed by others on two seperate sites.

For reference, sites are:
[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]

Which lists the 480 without trait and 400 delay at lvl 1 with trait.

and

[Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]

Which notes the relation of the 3 to 180 I mentioned.

I know from the project forum it was mentioned that the progression of 6.4 to 6.5 was to add elemental effects which were not working in 6.4 (supposedly not was coded in the main exe). This includes food, berserk, status spells, counterstance, or any that would add an elemental attribute.

Also, is there a way to get the 9.0RC1 working in full screen, rather than window? Changing the option from 1 to 0 regarding the windower setting for me causes the client to crash on start. The option in init text regarding game resize seems to do nothing, unless I'm misunderstanding the intention of the option, or there is a key command to cause it to work.

I suppose I should also mention that on the spiraxi I'm getting 3 transport errors: "Transports not found! Check NPC Tables!" on start. Not sure how to fix.

I suppose I should clarify regarding the expansion error I mentioned earlier. In the normal SE game I've got all expansions up to and including visions of abbesea (or however it is spelled) installed. But in the spiraxi and client, I'm only getting up to and including the crystalline prophecy listed on the character select screen... not sure why.
