Deprecated Darkstar fourms

Hello all.

No trouble getting the server going, but I'm having an issue with settings not taking effect. I'm trying to set the level cap to 75, expansions through WoTG, but when I edit the settings.lua, none of the changes are taking effect. Full disclosure, this is my first attempt at building a server, so there are any number of things I'm sure I could be doing wrong. Some of the settings I changed took effect from the conf files, and this has me even more at a loss.

Any help would be appreciated.

After you change the settings.lua file you need to restart the game server, it is read on start up.

Hahah, well, I'm not quite that slow . Despite several restarts, all expansions remain open, and level cap 99

Copied from my settings.lua, restarted again. Pic is what I'm looking at on test char login, it also shows the secure key login graphic on the bottom hand right. Most settings are in effect, but all content is still showing enabled, and I'm not certain if the level cap is in effect or not.

Level cap setting is working.

Those icons are set on a per-account level now. In your accounts table there is an 'expansions' column, you can change the default value so everyone gets the same icons. See https://wiki.dspt.info/index.php/Useful_Queries at the bottom

I see. Is there any way to set that as default on account creation?

Anyway, it seems that there's no effect other than the icons being lit, I have no idea how to set the values in that column, it reports a value of 4094.

maybe I'm not asking the right questions, I don't have any trouble accessing the individual accounts, but the values make no sense to me, even with the link provided. What value would I set for CoP/AU/WotG only, and where would I set the default?

its a decimal representation of multiple bytes. Lets look at them in binary, where its all on/off (one and zero):
4094 = 0000111111111110 (everything except the one unused bit)

Byte 1 - Zilart to A Shantotto Ascension
00000000 Bit0 - Not Used - Original FFXI bit
00000010 Bit1 - Enables Rise of Zilart Icon
00000100 Bit2 - Enables Chains of Promathia Icon
00001000 Bit3 - Enables Treasures of Aht Urhgan Icon
00010000 Bit4 - Enables Wings of The Goddess
00100000 Bit5 - Enables A Crystalline Prophecy Icon
01000000 Bit6 - Enables A Moogle Kupod'Etat Icon
10000000 Bit7 - Enables A Shantotto Ascension Icon

Byte 2 - Vision of Abyssea to Seekers of Adoulin
00000001 Bit0 - Enables Vision of Abyssea
00000010 Bit1 - Enables Scars of Abyssea
00000100 Bit2 - Enables Heroes of Abyssea
00001000 Bit3 - Enables Seekers of Adoulin
00010000 Bit4 - Not Used - Future expansion
00100000 Bit5 - Not Used - Future expansion
01000000 Bit6 - Not Used - Future expansion
10000000 Bit7 - Not Used - Future expansion

so binary 0000000000000010 or decimal "2" would be zilart only.
"30" would get you zilart, Cop, ToAu, and WoTG.
And all this does nothing but those light-up icons you see before logging into game - no changes inside the game at all. In game content is not controlled by this.
