Deprecated Darkstar fourms

HAHAHA I blame demolish

It's safe to change the default name and time. In retail we don't have or get told about records till someone does the 1st clear since tally. Probably shouldn't be stored where we currently store it, meh.

Sorry I only answered the "guide to using renamer" part. The rest, make new lines for new NMs, preferably in a new file like mob_pools_custom.sql or something. Or modify an existing NM's using UPDATE or REPLACE statements saved to a file. If you edit your live database and later have to replace the ...

Probably safe if you don't mind the extra processing and resources it uses to stay running 24/7

Zones kinda freeze in time when empty then when a player occupies it again the first tick of the clock will sorta jump things forward to the present. This is normal and intended.

Most servers either try to lock the game to a particular point in FFXI's history, or have to use customization to fill in the gaps where things do not yet exist in Darkstar. Demiurge isn't going either route: 75 cap now, and can rise later when there is enough Darkstar content for it to make sense d...

It's better to just use an ID outside of the range of existing ones for the zone but within the 0-1023 limit for the NPC/MOB block for making custom NMs if going the renamer route.

Sometimes it can be good to get out of ones comfort zone, but on the flipside I've seen many ppl bite off more than they could chew and not be able to handle the frustration. Sometimes there's no shortcut and you gotta accept the mistakes you'...

It's saying that on line 229 you have a bad value in the column for stack price? Go check what you have there.

Teo (et al.), I have a few general questions now that the lights are out, if you have a few moments and are able to answer: As someone starting out down the road to building out a Custom Server, are there any simple (or big) pitfalls that I should be thinking about trying to avoid? Are there good p...
