What revision should FailScene's official server be?

[GhostSnyper]

It's not necessarily that i'm more proficient in the 300's range (old engine), it's more of the fact that the new engine requires map data.

 

If I don't have the map data for an area, it causes the client to crash. The only way to get map data is to get it from runescape themselves (sniff it, record it, enjoy it). Unless I use a revision that's out now, and I seriously get a high level account that will get banned 5 days after, it won't happen. Oh, and I'd have to walk through every single map area in order to get the complete world.

 

Many private servers only have certain areas, simply because the map data isn't available

Does than mean that because it's an older engine we can't have items like ele' etc.?

[GhostSnyper]

Well the items didn't exist in those revisions. I could incorporate them, but i'd rather throw myself off a cliff then to start adding "customs."

[TehByte]

Ghost, with the later revisions like 474+ you can add a code to the client to make it so you don't need the mapdata; I did it once with my 508 client, can't remember how though D:

[GhostSnyper]

Oh really? I thought the client needed it for object placement?

[TehByte]

Yea, that's what I thought too but somehow I got it loading the maps without mapdata and it allowed me to get to areas which people didn't have the mapdata for.

 

Also there's ways to dump the mapdata from the client.

[GhostSnyper]

Unless you want to spend almost as much time as the universe's existence cracking all the XTEA keys for the client, then by all means. There was a discussion about it on Rune Server. It's the biggest reason why I don't wanna do a new engine game

[TehByte]

Hmm yeah, if people wanted new items you could always go into custom items after you've coded most of the server; custom items can always come at a later date.

[Jordan]

Would elegant be considered "custom?"

[Tyler]

If it's being added to a revision it's not default in, then quite rightly yes.

[GhostSnyper]

I'm not an avid supporter of customs, so don't expect em :3

[TehByte]

Aha, to be honest, servers are nicer without customs, but at some points they are needed to please the users

 

By the way Dan, if you need any help with the server I can always attempt to help

Customs like elegant, godswords, and shit like that are user pleasures. :3

[GhostSnyper]

Then take displeasure :3

 

 

THe most help I'm going to need would involve setting prices for shops, weapon and armor configurations, as well as NPC drops

[TehByte]

To be honest, if the customs are reasonable (by this, I mean, no 'Devil Wings', cars etc. etc. and no recolours) then there isn't really a problem with them, but they can still ruin the server.

 

And even if it's little bits of help I'm willing to give input into the server

[Josh]

IMHO I can't see how a few sets of different Elegant clothes will ruin the server, it gives the skillers something decent to wear instead of magic robes, army camo or some other shit..

[GhostSnyper]

Well that's appropriate, I guess. The only real custom bullshit that I'd want to put in is a bottle of Mountain Dew. It's like a goblet of green acid... When you drink it, you gain an energy bonus, as well as improved attack speed for a short while. 2 doses

 

xfD

[Tyler]

It's more of the fact that they're not originally on the server. People play specific revision's to busk in the items of that revision.

[Josh]

Tyler..

QFT.

 

Yeah I Quoted for Truth'd my own quote, simply because I am win.

[TehByte]

Hmmm, Mountain Dewwww<3<3<3<3 XDXD

 

Some customs are okay, it's just all the pathetic ones that ruin the server.

[Steve]

Yes do mountain dew! Yeah some customs are crap like blue dragon etc..
