Thread: PXI

**Bullwinkle** · 2011-04-18 20:58

Does anyone have a working download for PXI? I quit the game a while ago but I want to mess around in the game without actually having to deal with everything. I tried to google the hell out of it with no luck. Thank you in advance for anyone who is able to help.

Wasnt this shut down?

**Eleven19** · 2011-04-18 21:34

I believe there was some kind of cease and desist notice by SE lawyers some years ago iirc.

**Bullwinkle** · 2011-04-18 22:10

bah. thanks for the information.

**SovereignFFXI** · 2011-04-18 23:17

Yeah, it was shut down some time last year I believe, and most of it was credited to the Wizbot guy spamming forums about how his bot was created only for pXI, and not for use on official servers. So when Wizbot got C&D, so did pXI. That information may be incorrect, but that sure is what it seemed like.

I'm certain the only way to find the files now is through a user who had them before the project was shutdown. You might be lucky enough to find a torrent somewhere, but I doubt it.

Although, even if you managed to find the files (I may still have them on my PC, I'll have to check), how to go about installing and using them is a different story, simply because all of the setup instructions were on the pXI wiki, which was taken down at the same time as pXI itself. I know I didnt save any of the setup instructions (like a noob, I assumed they would be there forever) so I'm out of luck here.

Give me 'til later tonite and I'll see if I can find the pXI files.

**Bullwinkle** · 2011-04-18 23:37

I actually found a forum with a copy paste thread on it with how to run it etc... But the link for the download was ultimately non-working.

**SovereignFFXI** · 2011-04-19 02:06

any chance you can link me to that thread?

I may have found the files necessary to run pXI, but I'd like to start it up and run it before uploading them as a working version.

**Bullwinkle** · 2011-04-19 04:44

How do I setup pXI so that it works?
1) Install mySQL and run the Server Config Wizard. (If you already had mySQL, run the wizard and select Reconfigure Instance.) Select Detailed Configuration, then go through the next few screens until you see the option Disable Strict Mode. You must UNCHECK this box, or else you will get stuck on character creation. You may set a password for your server if you want, but remember this password for later.
2) Install SQLyog and run a new connection. The name is root, port is 3306, and the password is whatever password you set in step 1. Go to the file menu and select DB, then click Create New Database. Name it pxidb. Leave SQLyog open for now.
3) Unzip the pXI release to wherever you want. Replace the client.exe with the new one in the second link. Unzip pxidb in the misc folder. Now go back to SQLyog and click on pxidb and press Ctrl-Shift-Q Find pxidb_svn.sql and press Execute. This will take a few minutes.
4) While that is going, you can open pxi.ini and edit the settings. Change SERVER to localhost, PORT to 3306, USER to root, PASS to your password from step 1, DATABASE to pxidb, SERVIP to 127.0.0.1, and UDPPORT to 54230. Many of these settings may already be right.
5) This step is the trickiest. Go to Windows/system32/drivers/etc/ and select the file called hosts. Note that this file does NOT have a file extension. You can open it with notepad. You'll need to erase the bottom few lines (the ones without the # in front, and change it to this:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 ffxi00.pol.com
::1 localhost
Save it and make sure it saved the changes. Note that if POL or FFXI is on at this point you must shut it down and restart it. By now SQLyog should be done importing your database, you can close it now.
6) Make sure POL and FFXI are set to windowed mode, and run POL. Log in and run FFXI. When you get to the blue screen asking you to accept/decline, STOP. Now run pxi-server0.6.0b.exe, and client.exe. Now you may hit Accept. If you set everything up right, you should be able to create as many as 16 characters and play!

I don't know if this is what you would need... but hopefully/maybe

The link is not working at this moment, but it's a fresh upload, so it should be shortly. It is, to the best of my knowledge, the latest version of PXI which was provided to the public. This is the exact Zip archive they hosted, not a third party compilation.

**SovereignFFXI** · 2011-04-19 13:40

The last version was 0.6.4, so that file is one update behind. Either way, should work just fine. However, if you want 0.6.4 you can download this file I just zipped up. I threw in the ID files, as well as install .exes for mysql-essentials and SQLyog, both of which you'll need to run the server instance.

Tested a few minutes ago, works just fine (though obviously with many bugs). For instance, certain mobs show incorrect names (like Khimaira being named Soulflayer...), no mobs use TP moves, you cant zone into certain areas like normal, etc. Basically, the only way to get anywhere is through position hacking, which is a standard feature. Choosing a zone to warp to will likely put you underground, so you'll have to position hack to an area above ground (use trial and error to find the right position lol)

When the pXI wiki was still available, there were a TON of commands they had enabled that have since been lost... some of them allowed you to have a level 255 job, allowed you to cap combat and magic skills instantly, and the like. if anyone happens to have a complete command list I'd love to see it, since the readme file that comes with the pXI install is far from complete.

**Bullwinkle** · 2011-04-19 16:23

awesome!! Thanks

**urat** · 2011-04-19 17:57

I have the source for pxi here in the depths of my folders, I've been slowly sifting through the code to try and find the console commands for the server to watch for but no dice so far, I'm really not sure what I want to be finding. I only have about 5 more pages of code to go through so if I find something I'll post it.

I've been wanting to set up all the codes for the various quests in ffxi within the pserver, honestly the lua code system the team used is pretty effective for newbies so if a bunch of us worked together to cover all the important quests of ffxi (artifact quests, job unlocking quests, etc) it wouldn't take long at all to get that section of the pxi game working. All the stuff is there to make it work, the team just never had the manpower to go through and set up the speeches and CS triggers and whatnot for every single npc in the entire game.

My fiancee is running a private server to mess around with. It has a couple people playing on it if you want some company. It's not a completed project so there are some bugs (like for example, linkshell chat does not work. Instead /say acts like linkshell chat) He also altered xp rate to be double (so it matches the xp rate increase in the real game) and increased movement speed (because who likes walking). He'd be happy to give the IP info out to anyone looking to mess around with the game without paying for it or 'commiting' to it.

Send pms if interested and I'll get the info out.

**SovereignFFXI** · 2011-04-19 23:52

Thanks for the command list, urat, that's way more than the readme I've got had.

**Kegsay** · 2011-04-20 05:29

Zone IDs (use with @zone ##) where ## is:

Spoiler: show

Note that some of the mog houses and test zones have been replaced with Abyssea zones.

LUA scripting functions : for use in the scripts

Spoiler: show

Uses these functions within scripts will allow pretty much every quest/mission/etc to be done. Even some things like spells can be done using this.

If people are seriously considering teaming up to do some of the LUA quest scripting, hit me up and there's several tools I know of which will greatly speed up the process.

**urat** · 2011-04-20 05:52

I'd be interested in setting up at least the fundamental portions of ffxi, teleport NPCs, main mission lines, artifact quests. The little unimportant sub quests can wait until the serious stuff is made.

**geno3302** · 2011-04-23 13:16

Any of the original coders still around, or anyone who knows the code well?

I was messing around trying to add in haste, but was unable to get it to work. I added a haste value to items in the database and I think I added in the correct code to read it though the haste value seems to stay at 0.

**urat** · 2011-04-23 20:22

If you posted a code snippet of the file you editted I could tell you if it was working or if something wasn't quite right.

**Chrian** · 2011-04-24 03:10

so with PXI is a large chunk of the game just scripted events ? reading from files andsuch or is it just more then that?
