DLX Server, Source & SVN 6.5

yea that makes sense, i know on my server the few people that had additem are the only ones that glitched out so i think that maybe additem was adding the items with incorrect values

for some odd reason, I just downloaded this DLX-PXI6.5 and it just wasn't working. The last time I installed it, just a few days ago, I was running it on Windows XP Professional 64 bit. It prompted me about some msvcp.dll files. I installed vc redistributable 2010 and it worked, i just copied over the .dlls it asked for and the server ran. Ok, so I reformatted to Windows 7 64 bit. I expected the usual missing .dll files, but I didn't get prompted for that. Instead, everytime I ran the server, it would just sit there blank. I had no idea why it was doing this, but I knew it wasn't the .dll files or it would've asked for them. I started playing around with the pxi.ini file, and testing different ways to type the mysql information, and somehow just removing some spaces, it worked just fine. I don't know why exactly, it maybe because I configured the mySQL from the "no-install standalone" version. I ran it off of a .bat file. So, here's how I changed the pxi.ini to work on my computer. I won't say whether or not this will work for anybody else though, because I honestly do not know.
All I did was remove some spaces... nothing more.

[MYSQL]
SERVER =127.0.0.1
PORT =3306
USER =root
PASS =
DATABASE =pxidb
NUMCONNS = 100

as opposed to:

[MYSQL]
SERVER = localhost
PORT = 3306
USER = changeme
PASS = changeme
DATABASE = pxidb
NUMCONNS = 100

Yeah, it was weird.

I wish I could get on Dark Star... I've been trying but it seems to be down? I'm not sure, it shows on hamachi that the bubble isn't green. Is it only open for the stress tests? I wouldn't mind playing on a server that hasn't implemented content. I just think it's rad you're doing this.

Wierd, But thanks for the info there. I run win7 x64 and never had an issue with the spaces being in there. Least if anyone else has any sql problems they have another thing to try. :)

Any chance you may update the "repack" or source to include the auction mod you implemented, as well as other fixes that you've added? I suppose that's asking a bit much, it may be worth waiting for more to be added. So, about Dark Star, I still can't seem to connect. It's not down is it?

- No longer updating DLX.
-- Source code was deleted from my PC.

- I will not be releasing Azure Sky.
- Dark Star is running great.

Hmm.. I'm actually starting to like the one line, quick fast to the point replies. I'll have to do it more often. ^^

has anyone had success building from the source files? I've attempted with visual studio 2008 and 2010. After correct the few file not found errors, and lib errors, I've been able to build it. Unfortunately it crashes soon after launching the server.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I'm just starting to program LUAs but something seems to be wrong with either LDX or 90% of the scripts that come with it.

Even using pre-existing scripts addStatusEffect always returns a nil value. Only way I can get rid of the error message is by replacing EFFECT_POISON with the actual numerical value, which is 3, but it still doesn't apply the status effect. Any suggestions?

I've been playing with the src code. Any hints of making mob movement work? Thanks

I'm still learning this coding for sql/lua and the likes, but I'm getting the hang of it. I'm having some difficulties figuring out how to fix some things, and was wondering if I could get some help. For instance, I have an NPC at the docks, the one you talk to to pay and get to the ship, It tells me it's 0 gil to board would I like to board? I hit yes, then it tells me I don't have enough gil...lol what I'd like to do is either fix it, or how could I make it auto tele me to the next destination when I talk to her? once I figure out how it works, I'll be cranking on this, I have hex editors\converters..etc etc, I just need to know the process, and if I'm editing cpp files or *.h files, do I need to recompile or will it just load it next time server starts?... thanks

you just need to edit the npc lua file, should be name.lua in the zone folder where that npc is. On Trigger funtion is wha tu need to edit. but i dont think they have airships working yet, so you'll njust need to tele them to jeuno or wherever u wanna go.

Sorry, This server's (DLX) source code was deleted a long time ago and is no longer supported by it's members.

pXi servers (DLX, r1430, Spira, Neverwinter, 6.5, etc) are no longer compatible with the new FFXI official updates on 7/11 so it's practically pointless to continue working with them.

Though if you want to help out on the current Dark Star server which will be replacing all other servers we are always looking for more scripters. :)

ok I think I understand you, so for say the npc you talk to as you're leaving the ship I put under trigger player:setPos(x,y,z)? Sorry about the noobness, but one more question, where can I get the position values of where I am ingame? so I can set in the lua files. it seems relatively easy to edit these files I just have to learn how to put in the commands w/o screwing something up... at least I'm smart enough to back up each file before I touch it..lol

I'd love to help with the DS server, I have source d/l'd and compiled but it's real touchy for me for some reason, I had it running, but after I make a char and log in, after I log out the game refuses to launch a second time unless I make a new account each time, I was just using DLX because it's more stable on my system atm and I wanted to learn how to work on it and how to script and all before attempting DS again:D

u need to delete ur session because u didnt give it enough time to delete it,

but the way i do xyz is i go there and look @ the DB to see what my xyz are then i just write them down.

ok, how long does it normally take for it to delete the session? dlx is fast to do it, but DS not doing it so quickly or not at all maybe? but It makes sense on the session not deleting becuase when it would auto login it would say FFXI Connected! then show log in screen again
