does anyone even use apollo right now? its been seven years and i have yet to hear of someone using it in production mode. not to mention, majority of people on this thread are recommending it but dont use it themselves lol
+1 for apollo. No doubt the best of those three
1. its too complicated for people w/ beginner-intermediate programming skills
2. people dont understand the purpose of plugins
3. most people want a host ready source with little to no programming (7 years and the combat system isn't even done ffs)
4. apollo is outdated as hell (not in terms of code but in the revision they chose to default to 317)
5. apollo should be focusing on osrs instead of a client from 2006...... (obsolete imo)
(most people don't know that much about clients to change the data, and the looks of it)
6. the newer clients are done significantly better, there's no reason not to focus on them
- sound effects and midis can actually be played without a browser (good memory usage as well)
- interfaces actually use a container design instead of storing every possible component in a single array (dont have to worry about overriding other interfaces)
- more efficient way of compressing text and reducing bandwidth over the network (huffman)
- no client-sided clipping, so if you're running through walls you have faulty server-sided clipping
- click boxes were redone
now had apollo focus on osrs then i know people would actually try it. (there hasn't been any good servers released for osrs)
apollo needs to be like rust private servers. where you hardly ever have to actually write code because there's so many plugins you can download and use to customize your server how you want it to be. (yet this is extremely difficult to do because runescape is highly obfusticated. we don't have packet obfustication mapped out properly nor decrypting xteas without knowing the keys)
the difficult part would be trying to maintain the repository. if its taken 7 years and combat still isn't finished then there's no way we're going to be able to maintain the repo. better off talking to jagex about creating an api for us to use. i know they would do this but the amount of time it would take just for this wouldn't be worth it. unless they charge us a monthly subscription to use their api.
Richard1992 is a joke, i'm calling him too
why do you say jagex frowns upon private servers? have you seen a private server get shut down since 2014? i can almost guarantee Mark Gerhard was the reason for all that.
1. Mark Gerhard has came from a security background with roles in the government and banks.
2. Was highly focused on preventing cheating (security).
one of his first ways of combating bots was xteas, followed by bot nukes, reworked bot detection, and made top private servers pay $100,000 to be contracted.
3. He contracted soulsplit for $100,000. their contract ran out in 2015 and they either had to pay it again or shut the server down
quite a few servers were shutdown in 2013
1. near-reality
2. 2006 scape
3. pwnxile
4. ps-inception
5. arrav

soulsplit shutdown in 2015 (contract most likely ran out)
