Thread: [NEED DEV] Hiring a developer

That is the reason I want a small disclaimer before I start my request. I am a 27 year old which different majors in digital communication design, marketing and applied science. I worked with programming languages before but very basic. Never made it towards the intermediate field. I would say I can see and learn things rather quickly and that helps when learning a language like Java. The last time I touched a private server is most likely 10 years ago and I am serious to take these Corona times to develop and create my own Runescape private server. I already have a VPS set-up and a working Vencillio release.

For a person like me that is, let's be honest, completely new even with some small experience here and there, it is very difficult figuring out where to look at, where certain files should go etc etc.

I am willing to hire a developer or at least someone that knows how to fix my problems that hold me back currently from progressing. This of course won't be on a monthly basis but rather hourly as I would need some help for small things when I can't progress on my own. Time is not free, let's be honest.

Long story short: Not a bronze 12 year old with a $7.50 budget.

Problem summary:
One step at a time it takes for me to complete my wish of having my own Runescape private server online for everyone to join. A few days ago I tried to get various releases working but because of my lack of knowledge I didn't got any release to work. After some tweaking and following some tutorials I managed to combine different steps of different tutorials to finally make a release to work that seems suitable for my wishes.

The release: Vencillio

It worked pretty much instantly when running it through Eclipse, which is perfect.

1th problem:
The first problem that I had to face was the right-mouse-click not working and it basically works the same as a left-mouse-click. Now I am aware of the fact this is a common problem and that you should check your Java version first, which I did. I downscaled my Java but the problem didn't solved itself.

Java versions currently installed:
* Java 7 Update 80 (64-bit)
* Java(TM SE Development Kit 14.0.1 (64-bit)

I then tried to follow different tutorials regarding the code but that didn't work either. After searching for a while I am pretty sure I found the code regarding this issue. A file called ClientEngine.java.

Code:

public final void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
		int x = e.getX();
		int y = e.getY();
		int type = e.getButton();
		if (gameFrame != null) {
			Insets insets = gameFrame.getInsets();
			x -= insets.left;// 4
			y -= insets.top;// 22
		}

Longer version of the above code:

Spoiler for Code:

public int clickType;
public final int LEFT = 0;
public final int RIGHT = 1;
public final int DRAG = 2;
public final int RELEASED = 3;
public final int MOVE = 4;
public int releasedX;
public int releasedY;
public boolean mouseWheelDown;

public final void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
int x = e.getX();
int y = e.getY();
int type = e.getButton();
if (gameFrame != null) {
Insets insets = gameFrame.getInsets();
x -= insets.left;// 4
y -= insets.top;// 22
}



idleTime = 0;
clickX = x;
clickY = y;
aLong29 = System.currentTimeMillis();
if (type == 2) {
mouseWheelDown = true;
mouseWheelX = x;
mouseWheelY = y;
return;
}
if (e.isMetaDown()) {
clickType = RIGHT;
clickMode1 = 2;
clickMode2 = 2;
} else {
clickType = LEFT;
clickMode1 = 1;
clickMode2 = 1;
}
}

public final void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e) {
int x = e.getX();
int y = e.getY();
if (gameFrame != null) {
Insets insets = gameFrame.getInsets();
x -= insets.left;// 4
y -= insets.top;// 22
}
releasedX = x;
releasedY = y;
idleTime = 0;
clickMode2 = 0;
clickType = RELEASED;
mouseWheelDown = false;
Client.instance.isExtendingChatArea = false;
}

public final void mouseClicked(MouseEvent mouseevent) {
}

public final void mouseEntered(MouseEvent mouseevent) {
}

public final void mouseExited(MouseEvent mouseevent) {
idleTime = 0;
mouseX = -1;
mouseY = -1;
}

public int mouseWheelX;
public int mouseWheelY;

public final void mouseDragged(MouseEvent e) {
int x = e.getX();
int y = e.getY();
if (gameFrame != null) {
Insets insets = gameFrame.getInsets();
x -= insets.left;
y -= insets.top;
}
if (System.currentTimeMillis() - aLong29 >= 250L || Math.abs(saveClickX - x) > 5 || Math.abs(saveClickY - y) > 5) {
idleTime = 0;
mouseX = x;
mouseY = y;
}
if (mouseWheelDown) {
y = mouseWheelX - e.getX();
int k = mouseWheelY - e.getY();
mouseWheelDragged(y, -k);
mouseWheelX = e.getX();
mouseWheelY = e.getY();
return;
}
idleTime = 0;
mouseX = x;
mouseY = y;
clickType = DRAG;
}

void mouseWheelDragged(int param1, int param2) {

}

public final void mouseMoved(MouseEvent mouseevent) {
int x = mouseevent.getX();
int y = mouseevent.getY();
if (gameFrame != null) {
Insets insets = gameFrame.getInsets();
x -= insets.left;// 4
y -= insets.top;// 22
}
if (System.currentTimeMillis() - aLong29 >= 250L || Math.abs(saveClickX - x) > 5 || Math.abs(saveClickY - y) > 5) {
idleTime = 0;
mouseX = x;
mouseY = y;
}
idleTime = 0;
mouseX = x;
mouseY = y;
clickType = MOVE;
}

2nd problem: There is a 'search-icon', when clicked it freezes the client and stops working.

Most likely I will be needing more help with smaller issues but this is currently holding me back from progressing towards my goal. Hope there is someone out there willing to help and sees that I am a serious bronze dude in need of help.
