ProjectXI - New Release (v0.6.3)

[Karbuncle]

Ok, /sigh, I'm at the final step and whenever i run pXI.server (When the Blue screen that comes up and asks you to decline/accept) it gives me one of those "We've got to shut down, Want to send a bug report?" Screens ._.;;

Where did i go wrong this time D:

[Gergall]

I am not sure what everyones obsession over PvP is. The game wasn't really designed for PvP. Sure you could turn features on so that you can attack other players, but there is so much in the game currently that isn't balanced to where people can go around one shotting other characters with abilities (Chi Blast) and weaponskills. You would have to re-design or modify the damage code to add a pvp check and then reduce damage significantly.

Like I said it would suck.

I think it would be packed anyway. Because people are obsessed with it. Not me though. I'm just saying.

[bungiefan]

in the future would u guys be able to play w/o havin a PoL account ?

It's definitely possible for them to do it, but it's not legally safe for them to do so. The way they do it now, you have to still be paying for a game account to play, so SE still doesn't lose you as a customer, you just simply don't play on their servers anymore. If they removed the requirement for a POL account with an FFXI Content ID, you'd be able to play for free, and SE would have good legal standing to get the whole project shut down, as well as vested interest in doing so. Removing that requirement is an excellent way of getting SE's attention directed at them.

Just got the server up and running, but I'm having issues launching the client. It appears to be unable to take over the POL process. Error is:

==========================================================
[08/14/09 19:57:12] Account: 1000
#:Successfully logged in!
Couldn't get the handle for the process with process id: 2892 !
[08/14/09 19:57:12] Injection of DNS redirection dll failed. Terminating the cli
ent!
[08/14/09 19:57:13] Client will shut down in 10 seconds
#:

Task manager shows that process id is pol.exe (after a reboot error points to a different id, but always the pol.exe process). Any ideas what might cause this?

If anyone is having client problems, please try here. It's an update to the client, which should help resolve some issues. Also join us on the webchat or in that post if you need more help with it.

Thanks for the update. This client did in fact clear up my issue. :D

Hey guys long time bg reader first time posting. You guys def keep me entertained while I'm at work.

Ok, so my question here is, are there any servers set up like the wow private servers? The reason I ask is because tbh I love the idea I just don't have the technical know how to handle trying to change things in game. I just want an version of ffxi where I can still have fun fighting and killing hard nm's. I would just like to actually be able to get awsome gear I normally wouldn't have the time or Gil for. Sorry for the format here i'm on my phone at work but any responses would help me out.

It's not that far yet. No combat system yet would probably be the biggest update needed before that can come to fruition.

I made this compile on Mac OS X (and probably Linux too), but that isn't saying much.

I'll have more updates later.

Not entirely true. A few years back, eAthena was sued by Gravity, the developers and owners of Ragnarok Online. eAthena created the most prominent server hosting engine, aptly named eAthena, and openly distributed it to the public for use in making ones own private servers. Also, they continually supported a community to crack and release the newest official RO updates, as well the creation of custom user content.

eAthena did, however, win the lawsuit. It was determined that eAthena was not directly responsible for the loss of subscriptions to Gravity's official RO. Instead, the fault lied directly with the private servers themselves, that provided the actual servers to play on. eAthena was simply the means to the end. Gravity actively pursued the death of the biggest private servers they could get their hands on, and any private server that attempted to make money from their server (which was just freaking stupid)

In short, the creators of pXI have a precedent at their backs that could keep SE from shutting them down of they attempt to. However, precedent only goes so far, and this is a much larger and more affluent company than Gravity.

Ugh suck, SE banned me for abusing Salvage for a week and a half and they still come back and fuck me daily

My server runs but how do i add spells to my taru lowlvl ?
I read the commands but they dont seem to work ?

Do i have to say it in ffxi , i mean in game: @addspell, @hp 1000 < or how does it work ?
I also can not use the Stone Scroll ingame i have from start, so i can learn atleast that one...if i use it nothing happens.

How can i increase run speed so i can run fast to other citys and such ?
When i startet in windy i was under Water, not on the normal world in windurst...couldnt get out so i restartet in sandy.

[setzor]

For those without an active POL account that want to play with this.... google meteorXI... that's all I'm going to say in regards to that...it's not sanctioned or condoned by the makers of ProjectXI, but it worked last I tried.

I was helping with this project for a couple weeks deciphering party related packets for them, figured out most of them, but my work/game schedule didn't let me really contribute as much as I wanted. Really awesome group of guys working on this. Glad to see it's come along this much =)

[Spik3]

ok some things work now, i can addspell to my spelllist, but i still have to lvl up the normal way ? @setlvlcap 75 doesnt work ...

and when i add spells, do i need the proper lvl to see them in my spell list ?

edit: Not sure if this already is in the ingame command list but: @speed 1-99 < to adjust runspeed. kinda fast ^^.
100 or 200 works as beeing stuck.

[Shiriokumo]

could some one pm me a ip for a server so i can check it out and screw around with it? wouldnt mind taking a look at this. thank you very much.

use the @changejob command. I think it should be listed in the notes.

Each job has a numerical Value 1-20

@changejob 4 75 will turn you into a level 75 BLM
@changesjob 3 37 will give you WHM 37 Subjob.

@setlvlcap just sets the maximum level cap for the server. 255 is the hardcap.

[TummieGaruda]

Finally got unused spells to work!

Big thanks to Scriptkiddie over at pxi forums for pointing me to the spell .dats

I put 2 videos up for you guys to see whats changed from 0.6.3
It is a lot.
Started with one video however so much was added in a week I put another video up showing a small taste of it.

#1
*Aparently you need 10 posts to link urls....)
Goto youtube, in search type Unrealdj813. The 2 pxi videos will pop up. part 1 on top part 2 all the way on bottom (not sure why O.o)
Sorry I can't link, I tried lol.
Part 1 is HQ watchable and Part 2 is HD-HQ at least lol.
If all else fails and you can't find them click on my name in one of the videos and search my channel for em. (Unrealdj813 not unrealdj)

#2
^ see above ; ;

Enjoy.
If you would like test it out but don't know how to compile or just would rather not do it you can join this server, (It wont be up after september 09)
IP to it is 173.168.244.239
**Note** MeteorXI does work on this, however there is a small issue with MXI0.8 and PXI post 6.3 versions. both meteorxi 7 and 6 however do work if you encounter errors while creating characters or logging in
Also, should be known by now but you have to run it as administrator or it wont load ffxi after logging in on the client screen.
For GM commands etc please visit projectxi.org , navigate to the wiki, and view in game commands.
Note: If you /sea all and more then 8 people are on the server may end up crashing soon, it is only a test server so please don't afk idle on it lol :D
No support for bugs will be offered in this server due to it being "In development" if you want the stable server you'll have to get 6.3 yourself from the projectxi. ty :D

P.S. Hi tenjou :D It has been a few months, awesome to come back and see how far you guys have gotten.
I've been doing a lot of animation "work" so that pretty takes up the at home time on the PC lol. See you in the irc, new name monkeydagger :D
Keep it on the DL I feel bad for not being able to help anymore lol.

Although with the current progress I'm working on something custom, :D it's gonna be pretty sick, will tell you guys in irc when its done, may take about a week though ; ;

[Deemos]
