Thread: [CONTEST] Official Private Server Tutorial!

Code:

Description: To give yourself a basic idea of how to make a RuneScape Private Server

Difficulty: 4/10

Assumed Knowledge: Downloading files, editing the system

Procedure
Step 1: The base of the tutorial
Hello, I'm doodoohead. If you're reading this, you're probably a new person to Rune-Server.
This tutorial was made to help you get started on your adventure into Rune-Server *theme music*

Okay, the base of all private servers is the code they are written in, Java. You will need
the latest version of Java to begin with. You can download it at [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
Be sure to select JDK download and not JRE.

Step 2: The classpath editing
For compiling your server, which we will get into later, you will need to set a the classpath to where
ever your Java was downloaded to. To edit this information, open up your start menu. Go up to 'My Computer'
and right click it, and hit properties. Then go to the advanced tab, and at the bottom of that window, click
'Environment Variables.' There will be 2 paths you have to edit, CLASSPATH and PATH. At the end of both
of them, paste 

	
Code:
	
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_06\bin;.
Save them and close out of that window.

Step 3: Portforwarding
This varies by router, but this is one of the main parts of making a private server, unless you want to use
Hamachi(ewwww). First off, go to [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]. I'm not on my home router, so any pictures are
not mine, and I have no access to the router I am on, so any pictures will be directly from portforward.com.
Well, on with the tutorial anyway. First, go to start menu, click 'Connect to', and then Show all connections.
Find the connection you're using and double click it. Go to the 'Support' tab and take note of the default gateway.
This is the router I use normally, but not direct pictures of it. Okay, this varies by router, but find your
way to the firewall settings, login as the administrator, click make new or edit existing program.
You should see a screen like 
Fill it out like so:
Application name: Your server name
Ports: Both 43594
Timeout: put the default
And leave the rest blank
MAKE SURE TO DO THIS FOR TCP AND UDP :)

Step 4: NO-IP
Go to the website no-ip.com and register for an account. Once activated, login to the panel and click add on
the left hand side. Fill it out like so:
Now, after that's filled out, click downloads on the top of the screen and download the no-ip duc and install it
I'm not going to post pictures, but when run, it automatically updates your host and its IP redirection.

Step 4: Server and Client downloading
Lastly, you will need a server and client. Some good starting sources are
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

Choose your pick out of those. Now, you will need a client. I recommend [Only registered and activated users can see links. ].
You will need WinRAR to extract those archives if they are in .rar format. [Only registered and activated users can see links. ].
After extracting the source, change the compile.bat to this

	
Code:
	
javac *.java
pause
and change the runserver.bat to this

	
Code:
	
java -Xmx1024m -cp .;./jython.jar;./MySql/mysql-connector-java-3.0.17-ga-bin.jar server 
exit
CONGRATULATIONS! If you survived my long boring tutorial, you now have created your very own private server!
I will not cover anything about coding your server. Sorry.
