Possibly private server or are mithra's just that Op now?

Now if only we could disassemble the scripts that control mob behavior and figure out what exactly was supposed to weaken PW/AV.

From what I was told. Mob behavior hasn't been coded at all, or anything. Only things you can do it basic basic stuff.

[Tricen]

Fuck this, someone needs to dumb down what to do, I hate being PC dumb.

[Katlan]

would have to code a mob's behavior from scratch. If a mob's behavior was shared w/ the client then we would have 3rd party mods that would allow users to see a mob's TP and various other stuff. Put it this way, if the servers shared any mob data w/the client then we would have known how to defeat AV & PW w/in a fews days of them being introduced

Also notice the 2X Defending Rings, what looks like Valhalla Helmet, the Odin Sword (forgot name) and I think maybe Ridill.

It is PXI, they have some scripts for certain things, such as CS'. Mobs spawn and you can use commands to make them attack you, but thats about it. The @additem etc. in the chat log kind of gave it away. I know for certain there is a Script for the Gjallarhorn and Excalibur cutscenes.

[Katlan]

lol just realized there duplicates of all the AA's

[Destinye]

Yeah, you just have to script everything in.

It isn't impossible to emulate FFXI, you just have to bypass POL, which many people refuse to do, at least PXI team refuses to do.

SE already trying to shut this project down. Honestly, it'll never be worthwhile to play on one. Kind of how WoW private servers are piles of shit compared to retail etc. Lineage 2 pservers probably the only good ones because they're the official files that were stolen.

Well, the point in this kind of private server isn't to play like you would the retail version, it's just to test our certain things and screw around.

Lineage 2..Extreme? I believe it was called, was better than official honestly..


Ragnarok has eAthena, which is basically a rewrite so that's why Gravity can't touch private servers off of that software.

I believe Square didn't like PXI which is true, but I also believe that since they aren't trying to bypass POL Square can't do too much about it..besides, FFXI will require scripting for a private server..like real scripting, no normal "Hey I wanna make a server with 10000000000000000x rates!!!11" will even be able to make one, WoW/RO/L2 has tons of shitty servers because people don't know what they're doing, and the good private servers aren't that popular because they're ran by people who know what they're doing but also it somewhat emulates the official with tweaks. (higher level/drops etc.)

[Blabj]

Last time I played an L2 server it was crap, though it was mostly serious latency issues (buggy character and mob pathing etc.) so it could have been the server.

I'd like my own private server for those times when you just want to screw around without hassles, restraints or in some cases fear of retribution (@pos ftw?) but it's probably more enjoyable to play on a well populated official server.

[Akucaen]

Color me interested in this. My laptop is horridly out of date in terms of updates, so I'll try this on my PC when I get back from class.

[Lebzile]

It's true that Taisaijin's four Spelunker's are more important then the 2 Defending Rings in the inventory.

Although, this interests me. I always meesed around on private servers just to try things out. A FFXI one would be awesome.

[SephYuyX]

Unlike RO, FFXI private server will never work because the brains are on the SE servers.

[Infini]

Wouldnt say never when it comes to this, if they can build a proper private server that can let ya test out stuff it would be a nice alternative.

[SephYuyX]

Sure it could happen, but that would require someone going to SE and ganking all that info. Or someone really bored and write all the scripts for everything from scratch.

[Destinye]

No ganking needed, that's why there's scripting, the scripts are serverside..but for PXI, apparently they're adding a scripting feature so you can work out the stuff that's usually worked out serverside on official.

For a test server, you'd just need to find one big zone and, assuming you can edit spawn locations and timers, drop a bunch of HNMs and test monsters there. That'd be good enough for me - build a character, give him top-notch gear, and go fight shit for fun.
