DLX Server, Source & SVN 6.5

Pretty much all the info you need about the Dark Star server is on those forums. Better to research and post Q's there instead of dig up this old dead topic. If I coulda locked this a while ago I would..

will do thanks

Thx, but i've got a problem after i finished creating my character. Plz Help.

It is stopped at "Notifying Lobby server of current location" window. >> "FFXI-3101: Transmission error with lobby server"

While in the server.exe window, the red message shows "character not found".

BUT I LOG IN IN MY OWN SERVER AND THE CRUSH IS TO MORE.

i realy miss the intro video,is there a way to see it when i log in?I use the project DLX-PXI6.5f

Sorry for Necro. But... any chance I could get the source on this? Ive been looking for some FFXI source to understand the protocol but cant find any source code for any FFXI server.

I've gotten it all the way up to the Run the ffxi-boot.ini step. when the screen launches, I am unable to choose any option, and it closes shortly after. Am I missing a step?

Edit: also remembered there was no FFXI option under the "Compatible Software" section.

Where's the source to this? Can you open up the svn again, I'd like to contribute to this project. Also I'd like to build it for linux.

there is no link to the UpdatePatch.zip , would really like to join, tired of not playing after quitting FFXI due to not wanting to continue paying after 3 years.

I hope somebody still checks this. I know that you all have moved on to the Dark Star Forums (which won't let me create a login account.) I was just wondering if you could supply me with build instructions for your source code available above. I looked through the src directory and did not find any Makefiles, and tried to open it in VC++ 2010 Express and couldn't find any project files. Please help!

support Window 7 ?
