This is part 1, focused on making a private server and such, if you would like, i will post more on customization in other parts. Overview: This guide will explain the basics for building your very own rs private server! The topics being covered are: Getting a source, making it yours, setting up everything and making sure it works. this is going to be a very noob (i hate to use that word, but its the only one i could think of) friendly guide. if you have any questions, feel free to aim, email, or msn me. i am not putting in pictures, because i am assuming you are not totaly stupid. trust me, a first timer can do this easy if you read everything carefully. YOU WILL NEED NOTEPAD FOR THIS!!!! Chapters: Beginning Chapter 1: Choosing a Source Chapter 1 section a: Choosing a source right for you Chapter 1 section b: Downloading a source Chapter 1 section c: Explaination of Differences Chapter 2: Making the Server Yours Chapter 2 section a: Renaming the server Chapter 2 section b: Going through other files and renaming Chapter 3: Getting Everything to Work Chapter 3 section a: Checking your files Chapter 3 section b: Fixing Errors Chapter 3 section c: Finishing up Beginning Right now i will explain the advantages and disadvatanges of private servers. A private server is great for the gamer who wants to level fast and get great items, while communicating with others and not completely cheating. through a private server, you can change everything to your liking, making it your own. You choose the name, source, and everything inside. The only bad part is that, although this can be fun, unless you have a popular server, your alone. I will explain how to advertise in part 4 of the RS2 Private Server Guide Chapter 1: Choosing a Source Section A: Choosing a Source Right for You There are many sources available for RS2 Private Servers, however few of them are that great. The best sources are Pimpscape, Phonescape, and Testscape. As a reult of being the best, they are also the most widely used and have the most tuts written for them. My personal favorite is pimpscape, and i have coded the most servers using that source and know the most about it, however, in this guide, i will cover all of the main sources listed above. So, if you are still interested, now i will help you choose your source. If you like pking, and a wide range of functionality and ease of use, i suggest Pimpscape. If you like pking, a somewhat narrower view of functionality but still ease of use, i suggest Phonescape. by narrower view of functionality, i mean there isnt as much to worry about, but not that much you can do. If you like normal go abouts, a lot of functionality, and can deal with slightly compromised ease of use, Testscape is for you. Yes that section was short, but it doesnt need to be long, because those are the criteria of the 3 main sources. Chapter 1: Choosing a Source Section B: Downloading a Server Source There are two main ways of doing this: 1: go to google and type in the name of the source, i.e. Pimpscape, then source. 2: go to Download Section and look around there i will provide links to the 3 main sources, you can scan the stuff if you want, i didnt do anything to them Testscape Phonescape Pimpscape most of these files a .rar, so you will need Winrar to extract them That was simple, wasnt it? Chapter 1: Choosing a Source Section C: Explaination of Differences The main difference is the way the server is coded. for example, when making global objects, pimpscape is coded like this CODE makeGlobalObject while testscape is coded like this CODE MakeGlobalObject there are multiple ways of doing this, it just depends on your base. and the caps do make a difference! another difference is wether its a pk server or not, as i said testscape is the non-pk server and phonescape and pimpscape are pk servers. by pk server i mean that you can pk anywhere, i will explain how to change that, but wait until part 5. besides coding and pking, another great difference is the functionality of the server, which, depending on your wants and needs, can affect your server greatly. also, ease of use, or coding/playing, is another difference, this makes a huge difference in how well your server is liked. if your server is easy to understand and you can code it easily, your doing great! now, enough of that and onto making your server!Chapter 2: Making the Server Yours Section A: Renaming the server I trust that every1 here knows the find command, if not, it is ctrl + F, when i say find use that command. replace is ctrl + H. alternatively, you can select edit, then the appropriate option. Ok, first step, open the file client.java (located in the folder where you extracted your source to) and replace the name of your source, i.e. pimpscape, with whatever name you would like for your server. after typing in that information, press replace all. Next, go to server.java and do the same. and do the same in npchandler.java. ok that takes care of that. also, if you have questions, please post. there are other things that need changing, but those will come later on. Chapter 2: Making the Server Yours Section B: Going Through Other Files and Renaming Them Namely, the files client, server, and npchandler.java need to be changed. the change is for permissions regarding usernames. if you want, make your name admin on the server, and you wont have to worry, otherwise, keep reading. Go through all the above mentioned files and search for admin, do the find command, not replace. if the word "admin" is in the context CODE && playerName.equalsIgnoreCase("admin")) then replace "admin" with your desired username (leave in the quotes).Do this in all of the above mentioned files, and you should be fine, again, if you have questions, please post, i always like refining stuff. Chapter 3: Getting Everything to Work Section B: Checking Your Files this is simple. open up your compiler*, located in your server file, and run it. *2 common things that happen are that a. you dont have the correct java version b. the compiler isnt set up right to fix those problems, download the newest version at www.java.sun.com. if the compiler says something like javac isnt recognized as...(w/e it says) replace it with this: CODE :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :: :: :: All of the following code is © Copywrited 2006-2007, :: :: Grene Penguin Entertainment. :: :: :: :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ::::::::::::: @echo off if exist "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\" set programfiles=C:\Program Files (x86) set pr=%programfiles%\Java\ :co1 set b=0 set t=7 goto co2 :co2 color %b%%t% :menu cls title The Perfect Compiler version 1.9 echo Welcome to shorty5855scape's Compiler echo Please choose an option below to do that function. echo Keep posted on the Moparscape Tutorials section for echo any updates that I post. echo. echo c - Compile your server. echo r - To Run your server. echo e - To exit out of the program. echo jar - It will create your server into an executable Jar archive. echo color - Change the Text and Backround colors of this compiler. echo reset - Resets your Compiler Logs. echo. echo. set /p c=Option: if %c%==c goto c if %c%==C goto c if %c%==r goto r if %c%==R goto r if %c%==jar goto jar if %c%==Jar goto jar if %c%==JAR goto jar if %c%==color goto color if %c%==Color goto color if %c%==COLOR goto color if %c%==reset goto reset if %c%==Reset goto reset if %c%==RESET goto reset if %c%==e goto e if %c%==E goto e if %c%==* goto er goto er :jar title Jar Creator cls echo What will be the name of the Jar file? echo. set /p name=Name: if exist *.class (del *.class) set pro=%pr%jdk1.5.0 set pro2=%pr%jdk1.6.0 set jav=bin\javac.exe set go=jar2 goto cj :jar2 %java% -cp . *java echo Manifest-Version: 1.0 >> manifest echo Created-By: 1.5.0_04 (Sun Microsystems Inc.) >> manifest echo Main-Class: server >> manifest set pro=%pr%jdk1.5.0 set pro2=%pr%jdk1.6.0 set jav=bin\jar.exe set go=jar3 goto cj :jar3 if not exist *.class (goto jre) %java% -cvfm %name%.jar manifest *.class del runserver.bat del manifest del *.class goto jl :jar4 set pro=%pr%jre1.5.0 set pro2=%pr%jre1.6.0 set jav=bin\java.exe set go=jar5 goto cj :jar5 echo @echo off >> runserver.bat echo title %name% >> runserver.bat echo %java% -cp .;%name%.jar server >> runserver.bat echo pause >> runserver.bat cls echo %name% Jar file successfully made.

Chapter 3: Getting Everything to Work Section B: Fixing your Errors the most common error is not putting a "{" in front of a line of code. if you get a error saying its an illegal start of an expression, simple press enter at the beginning of the line, and put a "{" on the line above. if the problem persists, post a screen shot and i will resolve your issue. i am not going to address other errors, seeing how 70% of the errors can be fixed by following the above instructions. Chapter 3: Getting Everything to Work Section B: Finishing Everything Up You are done, for now. to get your server online, go to part 2 of the RS2 Private Server Guide. (part 2 is not yet released (subject to change)) You cannot login to your server until it is online, so wait for part 2. ill have it up within a day or 2. Again, if you have comments, concerns, thoughts, etc... please post email, aim, or msn me and i will get back to u asap. Thank You, robocz033 |

Really good tutorial, Idk if I'll use, but I do have my own runescape server. Only thing is @Buffalo, why is this in runescape? Because this isn't really a runescape, its more of a cast off runescape, like invisionfree is with IPB. Almost anyways lol. But very good, also where you say
The main difference is the way the server is coded. for example, when making global objects, pimpscape is coded like this CODE makeGlobalObject while testscape is coded like this CODE MakeGlobalObject you could also say that freescape is also coded like CODE addglobalobject or was it Addglobalobject :S IDk lol, I don't like that java is case sensitive |

neither do i, it gets annoying. especially when you are trying to code in a hurry! thats y after 20 minutes of coding, or if im done with a file, i compile then fix any errors, usually there arent any, lol.

Do open with notepad. Usually that works. Make sure to save as compiler.bat

if ur doing it in testscape i belive you must open up client.java and find admin? and add their name to the list? I beleive thats it, and that should work, otherwise if ur using another source, go to the character file of that person, change their player right to 2, for admin, 1, for mod, or 0 for regular user
