Good evening, everyone.

 

Every time I get invested in a RSPS in any capacity, either as a player, administrator, or developer/co-owner (all roles I have actively participated in on numerous servers), I enjoy sharing my knowledge about the underlying aspects of private server development. I am a software developer by trade, so I feel I can offer a unique take on the private server community in general - especially the development side of things.

 

Alora has been one of the most receptive, awesome communities I've had the chance to be a part of, and I don't see myself playing another server for quite a while. So, I'd like to share some knowledge, experiences, and opinions I have regarding developing servers, and perhaps alter your perspective on how content is actually added to the game.

 

What I'm considering doing is an intro to private server development from a high level, non-instructional point of view. What I mean by that is, I'll dig up key parts of an old source I worked on as a developer (of which the server name will remain unannounced) and explain the inner workings of the game. However, this time, before making the video, I'd like some community input on what specifically they'd like to see in the code, and what they'd like to be explained.

 

What are you guys interested in? Is there anything you'd like explained? It can be high level abstract stuff, like instancing a region of the map for a private fight, or even specific little game interactions, like picking flax and adding the item to the inventory.

 

Unless you're very familiar with Java and/or object oriented programming languages, the code is going to be completely foreign to you - but I hope to illustrate how all the pieces of the puzzle fit together. Is this something you all would be interested in, or is it a waste of time? It'll probably take a decent amount of effort to make, so I want to be sure people will actually find value in it.

 

Again, just to reiterate - I'm not going to be doing a video "HOW TO GET YOUR DANK PRIVATE SERVER UP AND RUNNING IN 3 HOURS" - this is for general education purposes only, and will in no way promote moving to other servers, or branching away from Alora to compete. In fact, the source I'll be using is a 718 revision server - nothing like OSRS.

 

Cheers, and looking forward to hearing from you all.

Best,
Tensorflow (Dave)

Definitely would love to see any kind of coding aspect from you when it comes to running/making a private server. I've always been so interested in how it looks from the coding side of things and would definitely watch a video on really any sub genre of coding you wanna make the video about.

I'm definitely interested in learning more about probabilities when it comes to gambling. Games like blackjack, flower poker, etc.

I'd love to hear more from a coding perspective, thanks for taking the time to do this.
