RSWiki

#1

super_ and I were discussing the documenting of the rs2 protocol/client in a wiki format (since he did some work with graham/blakeman on their currently nonexistent wiki). If anyone has any pages or input they’d like to commit, the link is below:

http://rswiki.gyrat.in/index.php?title=Main_Page

Only registered users can create/edit pages; once the majority of people who want to be involved register, I will close registration to ensure the wiki information will remain as accurate as possible.

Discuss.

EDIT: also, if anyone has a nice logo that I could use for the wiki, that would also be helpful (I was thinking the bulldozer, I just need a medium-sized, transparent image).

It’s been done already, it was just lost.

Feel free to contribute to the wiki; I’m sure you’re pretty familiar/have something to share.

abraham doesnt actually know anything

#6

hey frank qq and suck my disproportionately large cock

#7

why is abraham even allowed in this section

#8

He got the 50 reputation points as required, lol.

#9

inb4 mass derep

#10

Perhaps instead of studying our e-peen, we should be working on a some-what easy community project…?

#11

I could purchase a domain for this if you want.

#12

I could even host it if someone else wanted to administrate it, I don’t want to. That was the problem with the other ones, no administration.

#13

Did you not read the thread? We’ve got a domain, I own it.

I am fine with myself administrating/hosting it, hosting is provided by Mopman’s bitdash (I’ve got lifetime trial :wink: ). If it so happens that I lose hosting or the domain, I will always keep a backup and not just lose it like Graham.

What needs to be done is adding content; ahem: super_, frank_, Moparisthebest(?), abraham2119, etc…

#14

Yep, keep weekly backups at a minimum, and keep a copy of them off-site as well in case a hard drive or your whole host goes down. rsync and/or rdiff-backup is nice for this.

@wiki, do you still need a backup of the runewiki database?

If it contains nothing about client -> server communications and such or anything USEFUL, it isn’t worth anyone’s time.

But also, it seems everyone in this thread keeps missing the point: it needs content, I sure as hell am not qualified to write about it (and there’s obviously people here who are with minimal effort).

#16

Obviously I read the thread; I saw that the wiki was located at a sub domain and I was merely offering a better solution…

#17

I’m in control of the domain, and if it were hosted here (mitb) I’m sure it would also be a subdomain. I understand your post better, and I thank you for your wanting to help. But at this point in time I think it’s better if we have a wiki that isn’t a blank page…

#18

If you expose too much of the client and Jagex found out about the exposure, wouldn’t that result in lawsuits?

#19

No. Information isn’t against the law.

Exactly, saying, for example, a packet with opcode 73 contains the information for the pId of the attacking player and whatnot isn’t against any law…
