A road from nothing to something.
Introduction
LightRune is a lightweight RuneScape emulator which aims to simulate the oldschool look and feel without recreating every single feature of RuneScape.
Unlike most other projects, our main goal is to have smooth and enjoyful content (fast gameplay) which won't get people bored.
This project is just something to keep us occupied and hopefully bring something good to the RSPS scene.
Project Team
- sKyrO - Server Developer

Server Analysis
For those who are interested on how server itself works.
Server runs on two threads. One is used by a slightly modified version of Graham's task scheduler and another one is used by acceptor. Server socket channel is blocking, allowing acceptor immediately accept new connections and just block wait for future connections. After accepting a new connection, acceptor tries to handle login procedure within 150 milliseconds, this makes login instant for people with fast connections. Now if client is not done with login procedure within 150 milliseconds, it gets registered with selector and from there on login procedure will be handled during selection. Connections that are registered with selector are set to asynchronous mode and gets selected by the task scheduler every game tick, meaning that server handles incoming data every 600 milliseconds. All incoming packets are immediately dispatched to handlers. All outgoing data gets sent immediately, the same way as in RuneSource, using SocketChannel.write(ByteBuffer) method.

Goodluck derp.

Impressive, thus far. Good start. Why NIO networking though? Considering most people favour netty these days.
Because Netty has many things that I do not need. Not that it impacts performance, just matter of principle.Originally Posted by Enjoi
I keep everything simple and only I only implement what I need.
