I've always wondered. How does the Jagex staff design and program this game? Say they were designing a dragon scimitar, how do they design it? Is it a picture program, do they use codes?

 

 

 

How do they design areas, and NPC's. I know video games use a program that makes NPC's smarter, and so they can react.

 

 

 

I know it must be like designing a video game, but it's Java.

 

 

 

I can't fanthom how they designed Runescape, it blows my mind. So therefore, I must know. Can anyone explain or elaborate?

its not really in java, its in runescript.

there are 10 different kinds of people, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Was wondering the same thing.. I guess they make an image, make it into a code, put it in the game. but that's just my idea :wink: And for the NPC's... I have no clue how they make them all cool :D

No. Runescript is a pseudo-langauge that works with the Java Engine that makes up Runescape. The Gower Bros. created Runescript to allow for faster and easier updates to the game.

No matter where you are, no matter what part of the 'net you're surfing, whenever there's a discussion about how something "technical" is made that joke pops up. But I do have to admit it is still kind of funny after the hundred times I've heard it.

 

 

 

Wait 'till Esper_Jones comes around, he'll answer it all.

I was feeling cryptic :oops:

 

 

 

It awnsered his question though :P

The dragon scimitar in the inventory is just a simple PNG... or GIF. The one on the playing screen is a 3D model made by a program such as one similar to Train Sim Modeler.

And there are another 10 types of people - those who constantly repeat age-old jokes to people who've heard them countless times.

 

 

 

:roll:

 

 

 

 

 

Edit: Looks like somebody already hooked onto that one :P

Wow, lighten up.

I dunno guys, looks like you're both missing a solid eight types of people there.

I was rather surprised when I learned that the server side is all Java. I'd have bet on C++ or VB *barf* for efficiency.

There're two types of people, those who can and cannot count :roll:

Yeah I knnow... :-k

That's the point, fellas. You're proving the point with your ignorance.

okay um.... Learn what sarcasm is buddy.

 

 

 

p.s. i don't love you any more, i'm leaving in the morning.

Umm, I've never heard that joke. Stop spamming everyone.

 

 

 

Anyways its made from RuneScript a program that Gower bros made. With Java. But other than that I'm not sure.

RS is some of the simplest javascript ive ever seen. and no the images are NOT gif or png they are all BMP or Bitmap. The images are drawn to made in paint or similar program to each angle you seen them in the game then there placed into a program a long with a character and are programs to move. characters are drawn using every item standing at every angle, they do this with anything that moves in the game. the landscape and trees and buildings are designed in a tile fashion. these tiles are placed into a map drawing program and they generate the map for the game. the data for each character has to be hand programmed into the game script. it takes hours upon hours of designing and programming to make something like this. It took me over 20 hours to create a program that moved a single pixel across the screen so imagine how long it took jagex to create the entire game. my guess jsut for f2p with the new updates included prolly around 200 to 300 hours a person who programs and designs there images. and jagex most likely has a staff of over 30 people who program and design for RS which totals 6-9k hours to create this game.

I'm one of the 2! :XD: :thumbsup: :-$

JAVASCRIPT?!?!?!??!?!?!?!??!?!?!??!?! *slams the door angrily and runs away to avoid ice barraging you*

I love javascript, but no, it is definately not javascript. It is java, you script kiddie.

Edited your post for clarity

 

 

 

On the first bolded/enlarged thing, are you joking or being serious? Because there are two things that are weird about that statement. First off Javascript is completely different from Java. AND Runescape is the MOST complex piece of Java ever written. It would have to be to be one of the top five MMORPG's in the world (including World of Warcraft, Everquest, etc.)

 

 

 

Secondly I think Jagex has a few more years of experience than you so you might not be the best person to compare them to :wink: . (No offense or anything, I don't know your skill but from what you describe Jagex is a little bit ahead of the game)

Wow i didn't even notice the part about a single pixel moving across the screen. That's just sad. Are you typing with your feet and are you blindfolded?

So Runescript is what controls actual game play? Like movement, and such.

runescript is a program for java that jagex uses to write runescape.

 

and javascript Isa program designed be Netscape that is similar to html for doing different things on websites whereas java was created by sun microsystems ( sun.com ) as a simplified programming language for writing programs, etc but was later revised for use primarally on the Internet

 

and binary is 1s and 0s hence phragmites joke

 

 

 

hope that clears some things up :D

i get it lol the sequence one, zero is 2 in binary so the people who thinks its ten are one type of people(dont know binary) and the people who do are another type(do know binary)...hilarious
