Thread: Something I did...

Actually;

317 protocol;

When a player talks you have the pushMessage method sent, which is basically sending a String to the chatbox and a variable for which type of chat it should be, whether that be private messages or so on.

Then;

Code:

stream.createFrame(4);
                        stream.writeWordBigEndian(0);
                        int j3 = stream.currentOffset;
                        stream.method425(i3);
                        stream.method425(j2);
stream.writeBytes(stream.currentOffset - j3);

First it creates frame 4 and sends it server side, this is followed by a dummy byte which is set to 0, i guess this is something to do with anti-macro by packet sending or something.

It then reads both the chat effects and chat colour, this is then followed by a byte[] array which is the player chat converted.

The reason it sends it to the server is so that it can be sent to every other player on the server in range.

If you check against the 508 protocol it dosn't appear that anything has actually changed, the only difference is that the input is encypted.

But I thought in the new engine that it dosent actually 'push the message' where as in the old it does?

Don't get confused about the "pushMessage" method.

In both protocols the client first places the text there on the chatbox for the player talking, then the data is sent to the server which sends it to the other players clients displaying it for them.

Wrong. A while ago, Jagex even made a news post about how they changed the way messages are displayed. (Everyone went mad saying the new method created lag etc.)

That's true, now it's sent to the server before being displayed to all players, including the chatter, wereas before it was displayed to the chatter then the rest of the world when the server updated.

Isn't the chatbox also an interface now? Swat showed me on a 474 that its an interface lol

Everything is an interface on 450+ (not literally..but you get the idea).
