rsc-server

runescape classic private server mmorpg emulator. designed to work with the web-based rsc-client or the java-based mudclient204.

features:

• supports TCP and WebSockets via Node.js with SQLite persistence and multiple worlds (with rsc-data-server), and single-page with optional multiplayer on the browser via WebWorkers and WebRTC
• plugin-based content addition. add files with certain function signatures ( function onTalkToNpc(player, npc) {}, function onUseWithInventory(player, item, target) {}, etc.) to implement quests, skills, item interactions, and other game content
• simple, JSON-based data formats for spawns, skills, probabilities, etc.
• NPC combat (melee and ranged) with accurate roll-based RNG drops are implemented
• all of the free-to-play quests implemented
• accurate sleep captcha
• compatible with period-accurate website replica

install

• download and install Node.js (which comes with npm)

• for the latest stable release, run:

  # npm install -g @2003scape/rsc-data-server @2003scape/rsc-server

• to check out the latest unstable features, install git and run:

  $ git clone https://github.com/2003scape/rsc-data-server
  $ cd rsc-data-server && npm install && cd ../
  $ git clone https://github.com/2003scape/rsc-server
  $ cd rsc-server && npm install

• if you are having npm build issues, you may require additional packages. visit the node-canvas github for more information

• install rsc-client or mudclient204 to login

cli usage

rsc-server connects to rsc-data-server for database saving/loading and managing friends lists across worlds. it supports TCP with TLS or IPC domain sockets.

• if installed with npm, use (-c <config-file> is optional for both, they will look for config.json in their own directory first):

  $ rsc-data-server -c /etc/rsc-data-server/config.json &
  $ rsc-server -c /etc/rsc-server/config.json

• if cloned from git:

  $ cd rsc-data-server && npm start &
  $ cd ../rsc-server && npm start

browser usage

create a new Worker instance using ./dist/server.bundle.js or ./dist/server.bundle.min.js. if making any changes to the source, use $ npm run build-browser to re-build these files. you can then pass the worker instance into mudclient's .server property.

const serverWorker = new Worker('./server.bundle.min.js');

serverWorker.postMessage({
    type: 'start',
    config: {
        worldID: 1,
        version: 204,
        members: false,
        experienceRate: 1,
        fatigue: true,
        rememberCombatStyle: false
    }
});

// mc.server = serverWorker;
