Imagine gatekeeping runescape assets from 20 years ago
Dakota you don't have to upload shit don't give anything back to this community the exact reason why you shouldn't is right in front of you you're showing off something for people to see and just because you don't feel like uploading or sharing it at this moment people are butthurt...
You're all acting like people in this community don't have mad work that could benefit others and just sit gatekeeping it please stop it and move on.
Sure, they're under no obligation to release anything, but if they're going to claim to have a never before seen version from 2004 (extremely unlikely, since the cache format was not even understood properly until 2005) then they'd have to do a bit better than just showing a handful of very poorly faked screenshots (quite a few of the item sprites are wrong for June 2004)
They were offered a very simple and quick way to prove they're legit without releasing anything, literally just showing off 3 specific NPCs, and won't even do that...make of that what you will
Hey, you Dakotascape? Good job on your 194 release. It helped me with my project ^_^
That's awesome that you have another 2004 cache! The RuneScape Archive is looking for old missing versions of the game like yours. It'd help the game wiki out also! I hope you contribute any caches you have someday like you said, it'd be much appreciated. ^-^
Cheers,

It's not the fact of being legit or not it's the fact he's getting pressured to release this... I wouldn't see the point of someone showing off pictures of something claiming to have it and actually not especially in something as idiotic as this, but that's besides the point don't pressure a man to release something if he doesn't feel like it... He stated at least 4 times already that he would be willing to release it in the future once he's done with his own development endeavors, but seems we got a few people here that must've got touched as a child and are butthurt to be feeling like he must post this to their fucking cache dump
I see your point, but I personally think that preserving lost game assets is pretty important for the community. Of course, it would be different if it was private source code or something, but these files are part of the game's history and it'd be a shame if they were lost forever. That said, I'm not for telling Dakota what to do with his files, but I hope he'll consider preserving them.
It's mutually beneficial as well - most caches are incomplete because not all files were automatically downloaded by the client. If the cache(s) are provided to the OpenRS2 archiving service, it'll automatically fill in all the gaps it can from other caches we already have with matching files. So both sides benefit!
Even if there's a possible intent to release at some point in the future, there's obviously the bus factor of only one person having a copy of the caches in the meantime. Hence why people would rather have the files now than later - it massively reduces the risk that we as a community lose them. We're already aware of one revision which was on Rune-Server in the past but has been lost.
I like you, you are stating my exact feelings. I posted it as a show-off. Thought people might be happy to see more revisions exist than what is publicly known.
Lmao yes I am! I didn't log in to that account for like 10 years and when I went to get back on it was banned. but that wasn't a real 194 only a game frame and some sprites.
I am also this guy, but this was before I got all the data to work correctly almost 10 years ago. I see that video spread all over rs youtube.

If it was real, we obv are happy but it literally makes no sense why you wouldn't release it. Basically nails in the coffin for your illegitimacy.
And if you're the same Dakota that posted that RuneScape 2 Beta video on YouTube... well that video is incredible fake too. It literally has a Windows Vista and newer mouse cursor lmfao shown on a video that was supposed to be a RuneScape 2 beta gameplay.
Tldr: The gigs up. Doesn't matter and nobody cares... if it weren't for us meddling kids.
umm it has a newer mouse because I made the video in 2014.. lmao.. that was also almost 10 years ago also before I got things working correctly.
also I am not releasing rn because I am doing something with it.. I have a plan to release in a type of way in the future, you will see a thread and I will put all the revisions on it. happy?
including first edition duel arena the day it was added, looks like this. Data from 3-25-04
