ProjectXI - New Release (v0.6.3)

[Gergall]

100% drop rate would be the tip of the iceberg. You could make LL spawn every minute and drop a full set of usukane. Did I say LL? I meant every tunnel worm.

You could put superior stats on level 1 npc-bought items.

You could adjust the dmg formulas so that you are invincible.

You could change AV's Max HP to 1.

Would any of this be fun? Most games get pretty boring after you turn the cheat codes on for a bit.

etc

Ya seriously, if you make a private server and keep the 1% drop rates, Ill come to your house.

Agreed.

The only reason for shitty drop rates is lack of ability develop and institute newer challenges. With a private server we could get a plethora of new player designed mobs and rewards to continually challenge us. Fuck Aery. Fuck Usukane Body drop rate. Give me new/fun challenges w/o the bullshit of botting and having to redo the same fight 200 times to get a 1% marginally better weapon.

pXI can spawn the same exact mob 100 times in a row, but I can also plug the same stats into a calculator 100 times in a row.

Eh I didn't think of that. Nonetheless I am still interested to have mages who still play try it out and see if any improvements can be made. And it's true, for this it's no big deal. But we can test risky situations without the risk. For example, after we capture the NPC data for Dynamis zones, pXI could then be used as a puller trainer. You are free to roam about in Dynamis without the risk of losing your friends all that exp and time.

As it stands, you can open pxi.ini and adjust the droprate multiplier. Even 5.0 seems low to me but oh well. P.S. you guys can test the droprates without having to wait 21-24 hours too. I'm interested in any feedback, no matter how minor.

Heh this things awesome got myself a server setup and went and bashed all 6 kings in 10min. nothing more fun than taking a Judges GS and whackin em all for 8888 damage! (also funny to make it drop 20 items! XD)

Can you modify the stats of gear on ProjectXI? If not, will you ever be able to?

You can't change the text description in game, but it's simple enough to open the db and change whatever. In fact, we already left room in there for up to 4 additional effects, we just haven't made it read that part yet since there's so many effects to code in.

And of course, we'll be able to augment pretty much however we want in the future.

[Valkrish]

very nice work, been looking at this for a while now =)

What about this? Is there any way to tear down the .DAT for armor listing and then create an editable table of sorts and then rebuild the .DAT and place it in a new location and have the game point to that file? For instance, armor is 118/109.DAT. However, if you mod that, it would effect the real game itself, but could it be possible to create a clone and put it in a totally different new directory like ROM0/500/1.DAT and have pXI point to that file?

Taken from POLutils forums for spells
Example:

UINT16 Index
UINT16 Magic Type (1-6 for White/Black/Summon/Ninja/Bard/Blue)
UINT16 Element (cfr. Item DAT info)
UINT16 Valid Targets (cfr. Item DAT info)
UINT16 Skill
UINT16 MP Cost
BYTE Casting Time (in quarters of seconds)
BYTE Recast Delay (in quarters of seconds)
BYTE Required Level[24] (1 byte per job, 0xFF if not learnable (first slot is for the NONE job, so always 0xFF)
UINT16 ID (0 for "unused" spells; often, but not always, equal to the Index)
BYTE Unknown
BYTE Japanese Name[20]
BYTE English Name[20]
BYTE Japanese Description[128]
BYTE English Description[128]
BYTE Padding[686] (00)
BYTE End Marker (FF)

Actually I found a way but it is a painstaking process to do so and requires a good hex editor

Not sure how the r got added, but yeah you can mod the .dat to display whatever you want and there is tons of space to add your own armor/weapons
I didn't bother to change the values at the bottom but you can see that you can change the description to whatever you want.

Basically if you did create your own server with your own modded armor/weapons text, you'd have to send the modded .DAT to those who play on the server.

Worked just fine on my vista machine. Maybe you already have a newer version installed? Also, I'm using Home Premium if that matters.

[Shuvo]

If you guys add in Ballista support I will <3 you all forever. And ever.

[Kerberoz]

Ballista? Psh, add a world PvP setting.

[krazylakshmi]
