Creating a 508 RSPS

[Dodge']

Hello there!

I am making this thread in regards to Only the registered members can see the link.!
And I feel that it will help the community and ease people whom are making RSPS in the 508 revision.

Server Base: Palidino76/Bulby
Revision: 508

Now I stated that they’re two bases above. Bulby was created off of Palidino76 and they’re almost identical. I suggest starting with a Palidino base because it is cleaner and is more popular. Although Bulby is jam packed with content, it is horribly written. Besides, if you download a server which is jam packed with content, what is there for you to do?

As you can also see there is a revision number. The number changes when a new runescape update is released. Runescape is currently in the high 600s. The most known revisions are 317, 508 and 562.

Please be aware that this tutorial is for users with the OS: Windows

Step 1: Downloading Java

First, head to this website. This is basic Java and is needed to play the actual Runescape game.

Only the registered members can see the link.

It should be a very quick download and install. Once that is finished continue on.

Now, lets begin on downloading the most updated JDK. The most updated JDK version at this time is 7u2.

Now click the following button in the picture below:

Only the registered members can see the link.

Once you have continued onto the next page be sure to focus on the part that looks like the picture below:

Only the registered members can see the link.

Be sure to accept the Terms and Conditions and then select your Windows System Type.

Don’t know your System Type? No problem!

This is for Windows 7 Users

Click on your start menu and right click on ‘Computer’ then select Properties.

Only the registered members can see the link.

Once there, you should see a great deal about your computer! You can find your Manufacturer, amount of RAM in your system and OF COURSE your System Type!

Locate your System Type and then go back and download JDK with the new-found knowledge your have inherited.

System Type 64-bit: Windows x64
System Type 32-bit: Windows x86

Once it is finished you can find it by going to your Program Files > Java and you should be able to view it there!

You will also notice you have downloaded JRE7! It can be used, but will not be for this server setup!


Good job so far! With your hard work you have completed step 1!]

Step 2: Downloading a Server

For this Tutorial we will be using Palidino76 508 Server Version 3.1 which can be found on the biggest Runescape Private Server community website Runelocus!
Only the registered members can see the link.

This server has a good deal of content and is a great starter!

Before you jump to that download, make sure you have WinRAR!

Downloading WinRAR

WinRAR for Windows comes in two forms, 64-bit and 32-bit. Since you already looked up your System type, you can use that information to download the proper one for you!

For 32-bit users:

Only the registered members can see the link.

For 64-bit users:

Only the registered members can see the link.

You just need to go through all the steps until it is finally installed! The install should only take around a minute.

Now, since you have WinRAR we can continue with downloading the Server!

Simply click on: Only the registered members can see the link.

And your download will begin. Once it is completed downloading you need to open it in winRAR and it should look like this:

Only the registered members can see the link.

Now click on Extract and another window should appear. Select Desktop then ‘OK’

Only the registered members can see the link.

Your Server will now appear on your Desktop!

Only the registered members can see the link.

Good job so far! With your hard work you have completed step 2!

Step 3: Downloading a Client

Since you have already downloaded WinRAR you a step ahead of the game! Now is time to download a client. A client is used to view the game, as the server runs it. I am supplying a blank 508 client with is set for you to use with ease.

First go to:

Only the registered members can see the link.

A download should appear, let it download and once it is done it will open in WinRAR.

Follow the same steps as you did above to extract it to your Desktop. Once that is finished, you now have a 508 Client compatible with your Server!

Good job so far! With your hard work you have completed step 3!

Step 4: Understanding your Server and Client

A Server and a Client are like having a desktop computer. Your Tower contains all of the information and your client monitor presents it. A Server is like your desktop tower and your client is like your monitor.
(I am just putting this into terms for people who are new to it all).

Server: Your server contains the content. This is where you add information for others to see and use.

Client: This displays the content within your Server. You can add custom items to your client, but they will not work properly if not edited within the server also.

Step 5: Modifying your Server

I will be showing you how to make yourself an Admin and how to create your own welcome message.

Compiling and Running your new Server

Open your Server file and go into cmd.

You will see Instalize. Instalize is the same as run, clicking it will start your Server. Mithscape’s Run is not compatible with your JDK version, all you have to do is change it. Since you downloaded jdk1.7.0_02 All you have to do is change your Instalize.cmd to:



@echo off
cd ../bin
title Running 508 Server
"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_02\bin\java.exe" palidino76/rs2/Server 43594
pause
cls



Your Server should now be able to start!

Since you’re going to be updating your Source, you must make the compiler compatible too!

Create a new file named “rs2.cmd” And add the following to it.



@echo off
cd ../src
"C:\Program Files\java\jdk1.7.0_02\bin\javac.exe" -cp . -d ../bin/ ./palidino76/rs2/*.java
pause

Now you have a successful compiler!

Now let’s make you an Admin! Administrators are the highest ranking members within the server. They have access to all commands unless defined otherwise.

Go into src > Palidino76 > rs2 > io > Login.java

Hit CTRL + F and type in ‘Whiz‘.

You should see this:



if (p.username.equals("Whiz") || p.username.equals("whiz")) {
p.rights = 2;
}

Simply change your Username where Whiz’s was.



if (p.username.equals("YOUR USERNAME") || p.username.equals("YOUR USERNAME")) {
p.rights = 2;
}

Save the file and close it.

You must then head back into the cmd file and run the compiler ‘rs2’ which you just created.

Your server will update and the new information which you added will take place.

Good job so far! With your hard work you have completed step 5!

Step 6: Modifying your Client

Once you open your newly downloaded Client you will see three items. Files, Compile and Run.


Now when you update something within your Client, you must run your compiler for them to take action.

Next, let’s edit your connecting IP. Go into files and scroll down until your find client.java

Hit CTRL + F and search for ‘0.0.0.0’.

That is your local host IP. If you leave that, you will be the only one to connect to the Server. In the next steps you’ll find out your IP and how to create a mask for it.

For now, leave it as 0.0.0.0

Good job so far! With your hard work you have completed step 6!

Step 7: Port Fowarding

(This is for a Netgear Router)

You must Port Forward to allow others to join and enjoy your server.

First go to your start menu and search for ‘CMD’

Only the registered members can see the link.

If on Windows 7 be sure to RUN AS AN ADMINISTRATOR

Only the registered members can see the link.

You’ll be brought to a Command Prompt

Only the registered members can see the link.

Then type in ‘ipconfig’

Only the registered members can see the link.

And then you should get your Network information

Only the registered members can see the link.

The IP which is in the red is the one you must remember. That is your computers IP within your network. Make sure you have that written down. You may close your Command Prompt once you have it written down.

Second, go to your browser and type ‘192.168.1.1’

It will ask you for a Username and Password. Your default for a Netgear will be Username = admin Password = password. Your Internet Provider might have changed the password, so if that information doesn’t work be sure to check the bottom of the router.
Once you’re in your Netgear control panel make your way to Port Forwarding / Port Triggering

Select ‘Add Custom Service’.

Only the registered members can see the link.

Once in there, please follow the instructions on the picture. This is where that number you were suppose to write down comes into play.

Only the registered members can see the link.

You have now Port Forwarded.

Good job so far! With your hard work you have completed step 6!

Step 7: Hosting your Server

Since you have now Port forwarded all you need to do is run your Server. For others to connect you must share with them your IP. You can find your IP at: Only the registered members can see the link.

All you need to do is go back into your Client and edit client.java

Search for the 0.0.0.0 once more and replace that with your IP. You must then Compile and it’s good to go.

Want to mask your IP? Follow this!

Go to Only the registered members can see the link. and create an account. Once created and logged in go to Host/Redirect

Only the registered members can see the link.

Then click ‘Add Host’

You must fill in ‘Hostname’ and select an ending from the large drop down list.
Get your IP from: Only the registered members can see the link. And put that were ‘IP Address’.

Click Create Host

Only the registered members can see the link.

Return to the homepage of the website and select ‘Download’

Only the registered members can see the link.

Select your OS and let it download. Install it and then Run it.

Once it is finished, search for it from your Start Menu. It will be called DUC 3.0.

Only the registered members can see the link.

It will ask you for the information you used to create your account on the website, enter it and logon. You will be brought to this page:

Only the registered members can see the link.

Select Host and then make sure to check your server.

Only the registered members can see the link.

Then you may close it. This program will run whenever your computer is on.

All you need to do now is go back into your Client and edit client.java

Search for the 0.0.0.0 once more and replace that with your Hostname which you created. You must then Compile and it’s good to go.

Make sure your Server is on before you run your Client or else it will not connect.

Good luck!



A great way to get your server popular is to buy a Domain and Web Host. I can sell you both, if you're interested in buying just send me a PM. I work with Only the registered members can see the link. and we can bring you the best deals, guarantee!

Nice guide. I see one spelling error(Don't think I'm mean for doing this). But Shouldn't "lest" be "list"? Otherwise, your guide is perfect. May I suggest you teach them how to use portforward.com because not everyone has a Netgear router, so telling them how to use this website makes it easier for them to portforward their router.

How would i host it locally?

How would i host it locally?

It is already setup to host it locally. Just download the Server and Client then just run the Client. It's preset to 0.0.0.0 which is localhost.

No-IP doesn't mask your IP. It's one and only use is for dynamic hosting, so if you plan on changing your VPS/Dedi or are hosting on your home computer with a dynamic IP, you can use it and not need to have your client's IP updated when it changes, saving time and not requiring a download frequently.


Overall, it's pretty good.

For the common player, it hides it.

As both of our reasons are true, more people use them to mask their ip.

[Danthealien]

hi. i came to download this private server and i cant seem to get it to work =[. it keeps stopping at connecting to update server please help

p.s its says its connected to server, but when i compile it says something in red note: recompile with xlint for detais

[sparter124]

ok nice guide ok so ive done eveything right and it workds on my local but as soon as i put in the ip it stops at connecting to update server

[Dodge']

Are you sure you have portfowarded corrected? Are you using a no-ip?

@Danthealien, Make sure the server is on. And do not worry about xlint.

[im not fat]

I did everything step by step and entered all the codes. I just want to try playing offline with just me to experiment, but when i click the thing that says PLAY me, it gets stuck at updating.

[Dodge']

Are you sure the server is on? You will have two command prompts up.

[Danthealien]

it says cannot assign requested address:jvm bind. which i presume means it cannot find the server address :S when i go to compile it

and only 1 singular cmd prompts come up saying.. carrscapejr5connect

[Dodge']

Take a picture and post it here.

[im not fat]

what do you mean if the server is on? I am at the part were you have to get your ip and stuff, but i thought i could play locally without anyone else without doing that step, to make it sort of like a sandbox for just me.

[Dodge']

You have to have the server on to even get on it.... The client just displays what the server is presenting...

thats what it says when i go to initilize :S

[im not fat]

so i have to put my IP in and stuff for it to load?

[Dodge']

You only have one Initialize running, right?

[Danthealien]

yes i only have 1 initialize running and the code you said to use, which is the right path

and I've deleted and tried numerous times to get it to work but it says the same thing

[Dodge']

Do you have TV by any chance?

[im not fat]

Can you answer my question? And btw whats the file i found in files that says "Hack.java", just sounds a little fishy..

[Danthealien]

nope i do not have TV but i can soon get it i guess

[Dodge']

Can you answer my question? And btw whats the file i found in files that says "Hack.java", just sounds a little fishy..

What's your question again? It won't load? ARE YOU SURE YOU HAVE THE SERVER RUNNING, THAT MEANS TURNING ON Initialize

And go ahead and read what's in it. It's nothing.

@Dan, well I could help you better if you get it. I think I know your problem but am not completely sure.

[Danthealien]

Ok i got TV

[Dodge']

Send me your ID and PW in a private message.

[Danthealien]

cant you have exceeded your PM limit

[im not fat]

I know im fking retarded lol so please bear with me XD, but i wanted to know if i could play on the server so only i can get on it, without having to do the step where i find my ip and put it in and stuff. And what do you mean when you say i have to put on initialize? Was that the step when i replaced the code so it will work with my JDK? Cause i did that

[Danthealien]

you need to initialize everytime you upgrade/change something

[Dodge']

I know im fking retarded lol so please bear with me XD, but i wanted to know if i could play on the server so only i can get on it, without having to do the step where i find my ip and put it in and stuff. And what do you mean when you say i have to put on initialize? Was that the step when i replaced the code so it will work with my JDK? Cause i did that

Okay, you have two things. A client AND a server. You CANNOT go on WITHOUT BOTH. YOU MUST have BOTH. You should have a folder called Mithscape and a 508 ld client. You must go into Mithscape and run the Initialize. Then you can click Play.



cant you have exceeded your PM limit

Try now.

And no you compile everytime you upgrade something. Initialize is just to RUN it.

[Danthealien]

sent and waiting...

[im not fat]

When i run initialize it says "cannot find the path specified", I was never able to run it.

[im not fat]

I did do the thing where i give myself admin status, I think i still need to do where you update it, but when the rs2 document i made it just says "cannot find the path specified" twice

[Fallen Leaves]

xMy client compiler is broken rofl, can't find the path.

EDIT: Now it says:

Note: Some input files use unchecked or unsafe operations.
Note: Recompile with -Xlint:unchecked for details.

The compile is suppose to say that. What about when you hit 'Play ME'?

@im not fat, you need to get the correct path to your java.

[im not fat]

When i try to run initialize it says "the system cannot find the path specified", even when i have play me on. same thing when i try to run the compiler you had me made called rs2. I think i fked up by editing the login thing to make me admin before i even ran initialize.

[Fallen Leaves]

When I try to play it, nor do I have administator rights: Did the rs2 thingy correct IIRC.

And now it's the eternal connecting to update server.

Alright, try switching your Program Files with: Program Files (x86)

[im not fat]

Alright, so i decided to reinstall the mithscape client to get a fresh start, i inserted the initialize coding that you put and its doing the same thing. I erased the compiler rs2, are you saying like at that first step i should be able to run the client by just clicking initialize after that very first step where you replace the code? And i put in the (x86) after program files in the code but it did the same thing.

[im not fat]

Fml im so sorry i just found out i installed JDK installer and not JDK, ill tell you what happens after i fully install

[Fallen Leaves]

Changed the IP back to 0.0.0.0

Still can't seem to get admin rights.

[Dodge']

You NEED to compile the SERVER not CLIENT.

[Fallen Leaves]

I did that like 50 times lol.

Even tried setting rights in the mainsave folder, won't work. Weird stuff.

EDIT: Got it via mainsave.

Anyways, it only plays on 0.0.0.0.. I'll try :P

[im not fat]

It works now i love it tytytyytyty, one more thing though, where can i find admin commands?

Lol sorry I just edited it to my jdk. but how do I get the comple? and after i edited it in there it wont run the server.

What do you mean it won't run the server after you change the paths in Initialize?

[I forget it]

well I right-clicked on the initialize and i clicked edit and I put in my jdk. I tried to load it and it wouldnt work

Well you cannot just say, "It didn't work." Give me the error...

[I forget it]

well itll just say "connecting to server" and it wont load anymore.

[Dodge']

well itll just say "connecting to server" and it wont load anymore.

That's the CLIENT not SERVER. THEY'RE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS.

WITHOUT ONE THE OTHER WILL NOT WORK.

You must have both THE SERVER AND CLIENT to even get on the game.

Client: 508 ld client
Server: Mithscape 508

Tutorial is pretty good actually! Good work mate, information is solid, etc. Could use a overall better structure though (the way its set up)

[I forget it]

I have both. do I HAVE to do port fowarding

and I cant find the client.java in the files.

-facepalm- thanks for the help. But the problem about loading the client? I know how to do the port fowarding etc. but I'd like to test it out for myself first to get things going etc. Like give me owner [which I know how to do]


Edit: Well when I tried to do "compile" I got error: The system cannon find the path specified."

[Dodge']

You need to run the Server first, then load the client.

[I forget it]

I hate being a noob. How do you run the server first. -.-'

Edit: Is this portfowarding etc. cause I'd like to test it out first. before i get it online.

You need to compile and restart the server. Paste what you put inside the rs2.

[I forget it]

I have "compiled" and restarted my server, I've also put it inside the rs2, [do I also put it insides the windows batch file?]
