Java, Java everywhere. There were a lot of null pointer issues to say the least.
Install
This is going to be brief - the install is relatively quick. Basically I followed the guide 2009scape had on their website.
The only real gotcha as a part of the entire install is ensuring to have an X11 session flag passed to the ssh session to open intellij-idea-community ide.
Xampp was easy to install with a wget from the site.
There’s also a build.sh and run.sh command in the project to make sure the project is built properly.
XAMPP
Install is pretty easy - need to make sure to allow access to phpmyadmin via /opt/lampp/etc/extra/httpd-xampp.conf
# since XAMPP 1.4.3
<Directory "/opt/lampp/phpmyadmin">
AllowOverride AuthConfig Limit
# Require local
Require all granted # <- Need this line
ErrorDocument 403 /error/XAMPP_FORBIDDEN.html.var
</Directory>
Running the Game
Start the Management Server and Server
./run.sh --build server Server/worldprops/default.json
./run/sh ms
scp -r ubuntu@10.0.1.26:/home/ubuntu/testscape/Server/data/cache /home/jack/.runite_rs/runescape/
Problems
From the client I’ve had to remove the cache a few times.
Also it looks like there’s a null pointer error when trying to load the character in the client gui.
I had to run many -rlcache in the management server and delete ~/.runite_rs, ~/.java and ~/.cache from the client side.
The problem I ran into that won’t load the character.

Launcher
The 2009scape discord basically told me nothing as they don’t support setting up our your own instance of the game.
That somewhat left me stranded.
I tried using the launcher, but also couldnt get it to work with my private instance. I may circle back on this in a few months of development. I’ve always wanted a private runescape server..
