rsc-client

a port of the runescape classic client (mudclient revision 204) from java to javascript.

this client is designed to work with rsc-server and RSCGo.

install

$ npm install @2003scape/rsc-client

usage

after making modifications to ./src/, run $ npm install to install developer dependencies, then $ npm run build-dev to create a new bundle in ./dist/.

the ./dist/ directory contains everything you need to use the client. run $ npm start to start a simple HTTP server at http://localhost:1337. you may put optional arguments into the hash of the URL:

http://localhost:1337/index.html#members,127.0.0.1,43595

alternatively, you can manually invoke mudclient on your own canvas:

const mudclient = require('@2003scape/rsc-client');

const mc = new mudclient(document.getElementById('mudclient-canvas'));
mc.members = false;
mc.threadSleep = 10;

(async () => {
    await mc.startApplication(512, 346, 'Runescape by Andrew Gower');
})();

if you don't want to host a separate websockets server, you can pass a Web Worker instance of rsc-server into the .server property instead.

assets

make sure that wherever you host it, it's able to access ./data204/ via XHR for its cache files.

faq

• what is the purpose of | 0? why not use Math.floor()?

  number | 0 is an asm.js declaration for declaring a number as a 32-bit integer. the original java client used integer overflow techniques often, and this is the most performant method to declare them and accomplish the correct behaviour (javascript's Number is an IEEE 754; a java double).
