any particular reason behind using an outdated server engine from 2009?

This tfs is very old my friend, I suggested that use a more current one ... Did you press Y and press enter?

I see. Do you have src folder in your datapack?

There are two ways of fixing the problem.
1. redirecting the server to localhost through hex editor and hosting empty xml files there
2. removing the check for these files and compiling again

Thanks! I think no.1 might be the easiest approach given I never compiled the application from source in the first place. Btw, do you know what the xml files it is trying to reach contains? Blacklist? Version? Would it accept an empty xml file or will I need to write something to it?

I did press "Y" but it crashed

Try with empty files first. If you get a crash or error, reply here and we'll think.

Thanks it helped a lot, but now it still crash after this :/

Some script might be crashing it. You would have to comment scripts in actions.xml, movements.xml, etc. with <!-- --> and slowly reenabling them until you find the one that crashes your server.

// load item data
    std::cout << ">> Loading items" << std::endl;
    if (!Item::items.loadFromOtb("data/items/items.otb")) {
        startupErrorMessage("Unable to load items (OTB)!");
        return;
    }

    if (!Item::items.loadFromXml()) {
        startupErrorMessage("Unable to load items (XML)!");
        return;
    }

    std::cout << ">> Loading script systems" << std::endl;
    if (!ScriptingManager::getInstance().loadScriptSystems()) {
        startupErrorMessage("Failed to load script systems");
        return;
    }

    std::cout << ">> Loading lua scripts" << std::endl;
    if (!g_scripts->loadScripts("scripts", false, false)) {
        startupErrorMessage("Failed to load lua scripts");
        return;
    }

This is the source code. Since i do not get the message "Failed to load script systems" its seems like it crashes during !ScriptingManager::getInstance().loadScriptSystems()

Hmm... why?

idk man. I'm a scripter, not a clairvoyant. As I wrote - try disabling all scripts through commenting them in xml files, then enabling them again to find out which one is crashing your server.
