Deprecated Darkstar fourms

Hope this helps. In my laptop, I had updated to r3560. When everything was working well, I went to Navicat. Right clicked on the database and selected to dump the database into a sql file. Then in my iMac, I udpated to r3560. Using Navicat, dropped the database, created a new one, and ran the sql fi...

Problem fixed. Redoing the whole database off a dump file with the complete database cause the problem. Either the dump file had a broken npc_list table, or the whole file was broken. If there is a stupidity badge in this forum, I nominate myself.

Now both my iMac and laptop are suffering from the same effect. lol The game server started crashing, dropped database, ran the backup dump sql file and same issue.

Copied Final Fantasy XI folder from my laptop to my iMac. Went to POL, selected Check Files then File Repair. Logged back in the server, Wrong NPCs still there. Edit: Tried connecting to my laptop's server using iMac as the client. Norg looks exactly as it should be. So the problem is not the client...

It's an Intel iMac. So far my guess is that I broke the FFXI installation. The only thing I recently installed (two days ago) was the FFXIV beta. Will try copying the Final Fantasy XI folder from my laptop over to the iMac... Edit: Both machines (iMac and laptop) are running the server and the clien...

The picture was taken in my iMac server. I updated to 3560 on my laptop and I didn't encounter the issue. Both are on the same FFXI client version (verified by writting down the Ver. in Check Files).

I'm on r3560 (slowly updated from r3525) and currently in norg where all NPCs are either Orcish Overlords, invisible or naked long-haired blonde humes.



Any ideas? Thanks.

I completely wiped the database. I was able to create character, log in with it. I logged out with it. When trying to logging again I received the "packet or invalid key" error message but I restarted servers and was able to log in again. I'm now thinking there was something broken with my previous ...

I'm able to "log into game" now. However, tried char by char, one by one, and no matter what zone I was in, I ended up in Residential Area, with zone and positions values cleared in the database.

What's going on with me?

When I first had this issue, I had the client on win7 on an iMac through Bootcamp and my servers were installed in Ubuntu through vbox. Last week I tried again, reinstalling everything but on a different setup. Client on win7 on a MacBook Pro through Bootcamp and server on Raspbian in a raspberry pi...
