Expansion question

[comatose]

So I wanted to do the Chains of Promathia missions and when I entered Delkfutt tower, nothing happens. There's supposed to be a cutscene according to the FFXI wiki guide but nothing happens. There are enemies inside and one of the books is there but that's it.

I'm on my own server and I'm wondering if I just don't have CoP activated for the server or if it just hasn't been coded completely .

Where do I check to see if it's activated on my server and how do I activate it if it isn't?

Thanks.

they are all deactivated by default, try the settings files (map_darkstar.conf and settings.lua)

It is in the conf folder. After that, the login_darkstar.conf file. Inside, you expansions: 30, bottom. To change the number by the good for all the unlock. But what is the right number?

expansions: 4094
Will open all the expansions... from Rise of Zilart to Seekers of Adoulin

If I haven't installed Seekers of Adoulin can I just activate it in the config file or do I need to install it and do an update and everything?

You have to install it, the indicators you see at the menu screen come from that bitmask.

Thanks for the info.

I went ahead and installed it. It's stilled greyed out on the login screen and the missions don't trigger. All the expansions I installed initially all light up.

I don't really care if it lights up (plus I hear I can change a file to get the expansions to show active at the login screen) I'm just concerned with the content.

I read about changing one of the config file fields to 4094. What I'm basically wondering is if I can do that and get it to work after installing it even if the expansion doesn't light up on the login screen or if I should take it not showing up on the login screen as a sign that it wasn't installed correctly?

I don't really use the client that I have installed on the server machine and I'm not sure if that's necessary but should I update that one? Is it critical for the server to run?

Thanks for the info.

and the missions don't trigger

Lighting up the icons is separate form the in game content. The settings.lua entries handles the in game content like missions, while the lobby.conf setting just controls the displayed icons before you log into the game.

There is no need for a client install on the server, unlike some other private server projects for other games we don't use any client files at all on the server we map offsets and values into the scripts/sql/code instead. Most of them don't change anyway, much less bloat this way.


Some extra info:
If player doesn't have the expansion installed no matter what the server says some things won't work. It is however completely safe to have expansions installed that the server doesn't have enabled. I just tell everyone to use teh full "everything" package from SE's own website, update to latest and be done with it.
