[Tut - A] [508] How To Setup A 508+ Server

[TheAJ]

Recently, users have been uncapable of setting up thier own RuneScape private server, especially 508 and above. Spite the people who have no knowledge, I've decided to make a Full tutorial/guide on how to make a RuneScape private server (Revisions 508 and above). Follow these simply steps, and you'll be on your way to making a server which lots will love. Let's start




Getting Started
Firstly we must download the needed software.

- 508 Server [ Palidino 508 Base ] If you have another base, you can use that
- JDK [ Update 11 ] This is needed so you can run the server + edit the server

After you've downloaded JDK, install it.

To unzip the 508 server, you might need to download WinRAR: http://rarlab.com/. After that is done, install winrar and extract the 508 Server.zip/rar onto your desired location (Usually desktop).


Bring it up!
Let's start by going into your server folder, inside you'll see 3 folders: bin, scr, cmd. Go into cmd, and find the batch file called run (run.bat).

If you encounter a error saying java not recognised, or files not found, right click on run.bat and click edit.

Find the line that looks similar to this one:

"C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe"

Then go to: Start button > My Computer > Local Disk(C:) > Program Files > Java

You'll most likely see 2 folders (jdk1.6.0_11 and jre6) change it to what the directory is of 'jre6' (copy and paste from the adress bar) And it should work.


Making yourself a Admin
To make yourself an administrator go to the source files of your server, and go into the directory '/io/', open up Login.java

Search for the following:

p.rights = 2;

Something along these lines should appear:

            if (p.username.equals("Aj")) 
            {
                p.rights = 2;
            }

Change it to your name.

After that is done, go to your server files' cmd folder and click the batch file that is named rs2.io.batch. This will compile your code so it can be used ingame.

If you have your server up, restart it online and login with your name, if not turn it on and login it.

What program do you use to open a CLASS file?
Yush I am noobish. (:

[TheAJ]

You can't

Unless you want to open it with notepad and just see random letters

.class files are suppose to be there so that the computer can read it, thats why it's 'compiled', computers can't read the .java files. .java is only there so users can code, and understand the code etc

So how'd you change the admin then. O_O

hey.. u can open class files... with dj decompiler.. and i think JAD is the same thing.. but the .java or notepad version of it is the same thing, just scripts.. and u edit those.. and compile

[Gooblelips]
