    R-S Admin Response  About

    After open-sourcing the world server and core library, I thought it would be fitting to make this into a project thread as well where updates and development can be better tracked than prioritizing the advertisement thread.

    Darkan's goal is to be a base that people can use to extend on that actually has a goal to complete the base Runescape game content rather than solely focusing on producing just another useless, empty framework with basic walking/combat that nobody is interested in using. We want to continuously refactor and build upon a long-standing project rather than repetitively re-invent the wheel to no avail. That being said, the design of the project is also meant to encourage contribution to the project rather than copy-pasting and hosting it. This means that the authentication service as well as lobby/social are closed source yet public-facing API pass-throughs to be able to spin up a world of your own with almost zero client effort at all. This means being actively involved in the community as either a player or developer.

    We are interested in educating each other in programming and/or Runescape's game engine in general and have already helped several developers improve significantly in their skillsets.

    I hope any aspiring and/or skilled developers will hop aboard and help with refactoring the client, improving the game engine itself, or just simply contributing to missing animations, spawns, drop tables, or sound effects. All levels are highly appreciated.

    - Huge amounts of client refactoring. Mainly engine related things and most of the work on the base itself. Manages and pays out-of-pocket for hosting, manages any deployment/ops related work too.
    Cody (Cody_)
    - Client refacotring, cache tools work, Fishing Trawler and several other content-related releases.

    - Resident Runecrafting enthusiast, contributed to runespan, ZMI altar rates, tiara runecrafting, combination runecrafting, and other misc content-related releases and bug fixes.
    Jesse (Jawarrior)
    - Significant content contributor in almost all quests and bug-fixes especially. Also has done a ton of missing spawns/animations, a huge overhaul to the music system including genres that play by-area once the region-mapped track is finished.

    Best of luck! I totally felt that when you mention that about frameworks. I can certainly relate to getting sidetracked doing novel implementations of systems that ultimately are useless and not actually the content/game.

    However, I do think that it is super weird that you are relicensing matrix as gpl. Did you get approval from the authors to do that?

    Relicensing is a strange way to put it considering there wasn't an initial license to begin with and the code is 10 years old. If someone goes through and finds the files that are verbatim Matrix and list them for me, I will rewrite that small percentage of files or remove the licensing from them. A very, very, very large portion has been entirely deleted and rewritten anyways as it is. Only things I can think of are maybe some legacy dialogues which I am working on entirely deleting in the first place as well as maybe the basic file io parts of the cache library that are more Jagex's property than anyone else's and most of the code has been copied directly from the client for that.

    To suggest Darkan is even over 5% Matrix at this point in development would be extremely ignorant in my opinion and aside from the similar Player/NPC/Entity syntax that I decided to keep due to liking the method-naming, it's utterly unrecognizeable. Probably only seems that way to people who are familiar with Matrix just because I didn't decide to arbitrarily change every method name and class name despite deleting almost all of the contents within and rewriting it. I'd encourage a good test to be copy and pasting any content file in the entire project into a clean 718 base of matrix and seeing if there are compilation errors aside from things like packaging/imports. I'd bet that almost anything wouldn't work aside from some unused files that I have forgotten to delete after replacing or possibly some of the cache library files that would be verbatim Jagex code from the client as I explained earlier.

    I didnt mean anything bad by it, but for example:
    https://github.com/DarkanRS/world-se...iewingOrb.java
    is nearly identical to stock matrix. The matrix release was mainly a public domain thing so it isnt a deal to me personally. I was just curious.

    I didn't think you were meaning any ill-will by it since it was a public domain thing released by mostly 12 year olds over 10 years ago (which is what the base is originally of). I'd say that file is a good example yes and I would agree with you on it. I do plan on entirely rewriting those things the way I have with almost every other skill at this point. I am just currently held up by this project right now: https://github.com/DarkanRS/world-se...alogue-removal.

    Removing the dead/unused dialogues that are remnants of private server stuff and using my Conversation system instead since it is immensely easier to read. It'll incentivise people to write readable code instead of falling into one of the last legacy Matrix systems in there purely due to backward-compatibility laziness on my part.

    As you can see by the progress list, minigames are going to likely be my next big project provided I can get these engine requests in place for people who are writing quests.

    Ah yes, hopefully this can turn into an update log. I saw Josh posting his dev log and it was addicting to scroll through so this would be cool.

    Recent biggest update was summoning...

    Trent did all the heavy lifting/engine work, specials, combat script, foraging, passives and I wrote dialogues, found a lot of animations.

    It came out pretty good.

    If you load your client with 667 inferface gfx, players will cream for this.

    Personally, I think part of what makes Darkan unique is that it isn't out here making tons of client edits for cross-revision features.

    Darkan does use some of the older interfaces that still exist in the 727 revision, IE: Skill guides.

    Also, Trent was able to do an amazing job with 120 capes without having to make client edits.
