This is a [r]unescape classic private server. It is strictly for research and learning purposes and serves absolutely no commercial value.
- If you're on Windows, go home.
- Make sure Java 1.8 is installed on your system.
- Make sure
JAVA_HOMEexists in your path.
- Only the first time,
chmod +x ant/bin/*to correctly permission Apache Ant if it's not. ant/bin/ant compilefrom the base directory will build the client.ant/bin/ant runclientwill then run the client.
- Same Ant permissions as above need to be checked (executable).
ant/bin/ant compileto build.ant/bin/ant runserverto run.
Each directory (-client and -server) are Eclipse projects and can be imported as such. If you want to contribute, you must use the firescape.xml Code Style Profile and have Eclipse auto format on save.
- Move all player information into PostgreSQL or Redis.
- Move Server administration from Applet to headless w/ interface (pub/sub?)
- Move entity management from XML/GZip to something easier to edit/modify.
- Create an entity-sync system between client and server.
- Implement a scripting engine into the client
- Make a headless version of the client (hopefully w/ scripting!)
- Profile client and server for memory leaks / bottlenecks
- optimize, optimize, optimize!
