Ashita Launch Error - POLCore_GetInitFunc

[Vasante]

Hey all,

Figured I'd post this here as well as the Ashita forums just for safe measure in case anyone else has the same problem as myself. I've set up Ashita as per the wiki guide for the DSPT Test Server, fully updated all files and I'm ready to go with it, only problem is when I launch the config for the server I'm getting an ERROR: POLCore_GetInitFunc issue popping up in the ffxi-boot mod. This is happening before POL/XI even manages to launch, the window simply closes after the error.

Any ideas on how to resolve/work around the issue?

Well, you aren't hitting an error in a part of the code that has been modified, but you could try replacing pol.exe in the ffxi-boot_mod folder with a copy of the old ffxi-boot and set up the ini file for it.

If you could tell me what client version and region you are using, I can look for the problem in ffxi-boot. If you can't get into the game at all, you can check your client version by opening the normal playonline viewer, going to file repair, and checking the version next to Final Fantasy XI in the drop-down list. For region I just need to know if it is US/EU/JP. Looking at the code, it looks like that function is looking for a specific signature in the client, so perhaps your version has a different signature for some reason.

Thanks for the quick reply, for the record my XI version is: 30121205_4 - Region: EU

I'll give it a shot with the old ffxi-boot as mentioned and let you know.

Oops...looks like I forgot to add a switch or version detection when I modified the client...will fix that tomorrow when I've had some rest. The old version should work since you have the setting in the ini file for your region.

Following up on the above I've now tried it with the old ffxi-boot replacing the modified version. The ini file is set up as normal but when launching I now get a "Build_100 has stopped working" error message followed by the game crashing. If it helps at all I've copied the error details below. Any ideas at all?

FIXED (Potentially): Seems to be working now, this may have been my fault - I had previously commented all /load commands in the Darkstar.txt, after getting rid of the comments it seems to be ok, will report if anything changes

I found the cause to this issue.

Specifically for bluekirby to fix it:

Code: Select all

HMODULE POLCore_GetModule(){

In this func is a typo for the EU DLL. Should be:

Code: Select all

module = GetModuleHandleA("polcoreEU.dll");

Given that this typo exists there are other functions that use the similar name that need to be fixed too.

Also another issue, inside of:

Code: Select all

	LONG WINAPI hook_RegCreateKeyExA(HKEY key, LPCSTR subkey, DWORD reserved, LPCSTR classname, DWORD opt, REGSAM sam, SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES* sa, HKEY* pkey, DWORD* dispos){

The paths for the registry are wrong for US and EU:

Code: Select all

			if(_stricmp(subkey, "SOFTWARE\\PlayOnline\\SQUARE\\FinalFantasyXI") == 0 ||
			   _stricmp(subkey, "SOFTWARE\\PlayOnlineUS\\SQUARE\\FinalFantasyXI") == 0 ||
			   _stricmp(subkey, "SOFTWARE\\PlayOnlineEU\\SQUARE\\FinalFantasyXI") == 0){
				g_reg_hook_key = *pkey;
			}

For US it's:
SOFTWARE\\PlayOnlineUS\\SquareEnix\\FinalFantasyXI

For EU it's:
SOFTWARE\\PlayOnlineEU\\SquareEnix\\FinalFantasyXI

Made a version that has a new --lang option to specify us eu or jp
It didn't work for the guy helping me test it, but it was working for me with both US and EU modes with both version installed. If you want to give it a spin:
http://kile.dyndns.info:8765/bak/ffxi-b ... 2c_RC2.zip

It isn't a final version until I can get it working on other people's systems. It may not (or probably won't) work for you if you are using an EU version, but it may be worth a shot.

File doesn't exist anymore and I need the fix since I have a US install and ffxi-boot will not launch FFXI after the login is done

Help ?

Just use the previous version if you are on a US version:

2c RC2 didn't really accomplish anything and I am working on a rewrite for version 3
