Deprecated Darkstar fourms

I've W7-64b, Visual Studio express 12, microsoftSDk 8, MV c++ 10 and following the instruction on wiki:

Build the Login Server
Open Visual Studio
Click File, Open, Project/Solution (or Ctrl+Shift+O)
Navigate to C:\dsp\win32\DSConnect-Server
Select DSConnect-server.sln (usually the first one)
It may take a few minutes to load files.
Click Debug then Build Server (or F7, or Ctrl+Shift+B)
Building will take a few minutes.

Vs10 from link and upgraded whit the service pack 1, all installed and another error: because the relative project tipe (.vcxproj) is not supported by the current application...
my bad or something else?

In that screenshot you have Visual Basic 2010, you need Visual C++ 2010 Express.

Login and server Created (finally ) now... Is a local server, all status green but during the creation of the account on boot.exe or mXI 0.91_Darkstar luncher... the screen explain >_> i hope is the last



thx for the Help

are you running ffxi-boot.exe as administrator?

Try using a longer username and password. I've ran into this a long time ago with myself and a few friends. I think in the end, it's just the password length that matters but I may be entirely incorrect.

yes solved

now xD the game stop (not crash) at downloading after you choice the char for play, i have the steam version of ffxi (Final Fantasy XI- Ultimate Collection Abyssea Edition) patched, checked (8hr).
maybe i need write someting in the login_darkstar.conf (the bottom part expansion etc) ??

Did you try logging in more than once? Also, did you set your IP (sort of) in the zones table?

i've tried more time, different char and different starter town... only in the city of windurst i can play, in the other two they stop at "downloading area" and the server log give me this mex: Warning client cannot receive packet or key is invalid: nameplayer
Edit: whit more try, i noticed that every time i restart the server a different startcity work at detriment of the other two.

anglos: Also, did you set your IP (sort of) in the zones table?

i've followed the guide wiki, in the tables there are only (zone_setting, zone_weather, zoneline) pls be more specific, it's my first time

sorry for bad eng, thx for the help

p.s. in the server conf do not exist the drop rate, where i found?
