Whats server addy? I can try it from my connection? Just to ensure its nothing screwy with your client?

Sure 184.82.244.47

Yep. after I send key it fails. And you said your zoneip is set in SQL?

Correct I the decimal ip in the first post if you would like to check my math:)

Ugh you're right. Hrm, Did you try removing and re-addong the SQL for Zone_settings SQL table? I had this issue a long time ago, but I remember rebuilding my SQL setup, and then re-creating the exe's (rebuilding the game server). I'd double check the CONF files also.

I did double check the conf files and they were (sql wise anyways) fine and dandy. Once I've gotten back from work I'll try rebuilding all the SQL tables and re-doing the exe's with any updates available.

Thank you for your help on this It's been driving me up the wall lol.

Okay finally got home after a long work and getting my other problems sorted out. Rebuilt the exe's, redid the sql files and still same error as before.

HAH FRACKING FINALLY. Apparently (unknown to me actually) my VPS had multiple ip's and the game server was binding to the 46 not 47. Changed the zoneip to 46 and boom in game

Thanks for all your help tagban

Actually think i spoke too soon. I can log into the game no problem now, however if i try to zone anywhere it does the same issue allover again (client packet data blah blah blah)

it has to do with the target ID in the account_sessions table
and in map server.
and also if the map was cleaned or not for that player.
blowfish works perfectly fine. its just the two servers lobby and map sending the correct data.

also it has to do with IPS and if your on a network in your house.

so say your running the final fantasy xi server on your personal computer and your address is 127.0.0.1
and you are trying to connect to the login from your other personal labtop
and its ip is 127.0.0.1

because that is common for all PC
but your running through a modem router and your desktop IP is also 192.168.1.5
and your labtop ip is also 192.168.1.8

now the labtop is trying to connect to map server at 192.168.1.5 but the map server is set up in the zone settings table for 127.0.0.1
so really your labtop is connecting to itself where there is no map server running.

on this core I set it up a little different
on my login_darkstar.conf
I added

Code: Select all

DNS_Servers_Address: login.ffxi-a.com
mysql_host:      127.0.0.1
mysql_port:      3306
mysql_login:     root
mysql_password:  password
mysql_database:  database

the DNS is the domain name servers so you can use both IP or name servers
and on my
map_darkstar.conf

Code: Select all

DNS_Servers_Address: login.ffxi-a.com
NETWORK_Servers_Address: 10.0.0.15
mysql_host:      127.0.0.1
mysql_port:      3306
mysql_login:     root
mysql_password:  password
mysql_database:  database

the Network server address is for routers if the main server is on IP 1 and the other Ip is connecting from IP 2
I added networking
so this is saying my database is on my local PC with my map server
but my zones are on my IP of my main PC
and that is 10.0.0.15

now on my labtop in my ffxi-boot.ini
I set my ip to my desktop and that is 10.0.0.15
and I can login from my desktop and my labtop.

my desktop ffxi-boot.ini is also set for 10.0.0.15.
the project only opens with VS 2012 but you can check it out if you want.

I got it working finally The last thing I did that I THINK did it was I edited the lan config files and put in the external IP's instead of using the lan ones and it seems to be okie dokie.
