SRL Archive - RuneScape News and General

I am thinking of starting a RSPS at a version that has all the old school features.
Wildy
Merching
And the one people won't like here - No bots.

Runescape IS being ruined by the amount of bots and Jagex's awful updates.

Do you reckon a lot of people would join a PROPER old school RSPS?

-Boom

By oldschool do you mean before curse prayers and dung weapons? Or something that would be like the current RS just without all the bad stuff?

assuming you can get a PS with everything working i think it may take off

~shut

I have been working on one with Sebo for a bit (slow progress) and we should be up and running in a few weeks.

Ok, not that far back =P
I mean like 317 - 400.

-Boom

Good luck. Gonna make random events to avoid botting?

I am going to do what Jagex should have done a while ago. Make an event popup that can't be botted :duh:

This might consist of:
Captcha
Random Questions (I mean totally random - list of 1000's of questions)

-Boom

Jagex have many methods in which they know they could stop botting, but I think they need them as customers now.

:( I was hoping for high detail.

If you need help just ask me, I spent years on servers. Maybe you've heard of Project16/Flight?

I think it's a cool idea to, as just recently I was thinking of the idea of SRL's own RS server.

I have some knowledge in Private Servers, however it's not the 1st time we proposed this idea and as usual we did not go on with it.

You'd need a lot of players for merching

/QUOTE]

I remember project16. Was that yours?

And this is a good idea. I cant stand the new runescape. I was thinking about doing this a little ago but didn't think i could get enough people to play. You should do 317 and if you need any help i used to mess with private servers a bit.

and the Captcha is a good idea. The 1000 question thing not so much a good idea. If anyone was determined enough they could make an auto for it.

^ there is something that solves captcha, requests people to solve it. (Decaptcha maybe?)

Yeah I've looked into that before. It's something people pay for and i dont think it would work in a java game.

Yes. Project16 1, 2, 3, 3.5, 4, RA (ReAnimated, sold 5 copies for 1.5m each), CW World (Castle Wars World, the first server to ever have realistic castle wars), P16 Bitz, Flight (The second ever server that used a package format, [Thanks Fasga])…. all my servers. Dodian was also my work.

What's 'Captcha'?

I wish there was a way we could chat on MSN. I can add/chat with new people all the time with no problem :(

Yeah I don't know, I've just noticed Yahoo isn't exactly on the ball recently.

I would check it out if you made one. I'm always going around checking out Private Servers trying to find the best ones.

Just make sure your client uses the correct cache, most 317 clients these days have a 400+ cache rigged up to them. Iirc the closest you can get to a 317 cache is 319 :(

The most I've ever worked with is 369/371(or was it 379?) cache. I'm pretty sure the clients themselves were the original 317. At a certain point, somewhere in the 400's, the client is constructed very differently if I remember. Either that or way it handled sending packets to and from the game server was completely different. Agh it's been years for me…

Exactly, people were smart enough to archive the 317 client but didn't think to archive the cache as well, or simply didn't have members at the time. At least there is a full 319 cache available here. Oh well :fiery:

But yeah, if you guys make a server, please don't make it one of those cookie cutter ones that everyone and their grandma runs. It's gotta be accurate to the revision and have none of those god-awful customs.

Amen to that. I tried basing all the P16's off Runescape look-alikes, especially Flight. This was my goal all along, and it's really annoying to see all the custom servers. I agree alot with you, Echo_.

Alright gyys so I will find a suitable base some time today.
O may need help coding quests, Npc, skills etc.
If anyone would like to help out just pm me

I thought you were going to start fresh.

You shouldn't need to much help finishing npc's on a base, most of them create the npc instances already which should be enough to get you going. :)

I'm not very good with the engine of a server, but I can do practically everything else. I suggest you take a look at my Flight base on Rune-Server.

Ah hell nevermind, that file doesn't exist anymore. :( Eh… forget that idea.
