A remake of the 2009 era Runescape Website

2009 RSPS website

Note: This is a haphazard hack of a 2009 website made by jarryd229 combined with a 2010 website dump.

Want to help? No problem! index.html is where it all starts :)

Something seem broken (missing images?) - Get the original, unedited copy. Things could have broken in the past: https://github.com/2009scape/Dumps/tree/master/2010%20Website%20Dump

Building Jekyll Locally

This website utilizes Jekyll to generate static pages.

1. Install Jekyll
   • https://jekyllrb.com/docs/installation/
2. Build and serve the site
   • Inside project root run jekyll serve or alternatively:
     • Windows: serve.bat
     • Unix: ./serve.sh

For faster builds locally (from about 80 seconds to about 6 seconds) add:

exclude:
- services/m=poll/*
- services/m=forum/sl=*
- services/m=itemdb_rs/*

to _config.yml, and substitute jekyll serve --incremental

there is an optional promo_image tag to specify a homepage image for the post.

2009scape.github.io's Issues

Update meta keywords/description/title of custom news articles

These articles here have outdated meta keywords/descriptions/etc. Might start appearing in Google Search or something, who knows

Black dragon doesn't appear in drop table search

The Black Dragon is not returned as a result in the "Drop Tables" search on the drop tables page. The King Black Dragon, however, is returned.

The Black Dragon does appear if I use the "Item Sources" search to search for an item that the Black Dragon drops (e.g. Draconic visage).

Global chat ignore function bug

Adding someone to your ignore list doesn't stop you from seeing what they type in global chat.

Split out FunOrb to it's own repository

Although I think it's useful and cool to keep the website for FunOrb around, I think this repository and website is the wrong place for it. It's probably better to give it it's own website.

This also resolves any issues for this repo that could come up in the future from hosting proprietary Flash games from which we don't have the license to distribute.

Verify 2009scape on Flathub

Create a page at https://2009scape.org/.well-known/org.flathub.VerifiedApps.txt containing the following token:

Ty to Summer for finding this :)

Don't call Hitpoints "Constitution" on hiscores

What to do with non-functional pages

Due to the website currently being a static dump of the old interactive website a lot of things currently don't really work. Examples:

• /services/m=bugtracker_v4/index-2.html. A page to report bugs, but those are supposed to be posted on GitLab instead and doesn't actually work
• /services/m=advert. None of the pages there actually work, they're all blank.
• /services/m=adventurers-log. I was actually excited when I saw this as I used to love the adventurer log, but sadly it doesn't work and there doesn't currently seem to be a way to retrieve the required info for such functionality at all.
• /services/m=forum. Seems to be a dump of the old forum at the time. Quite a lot of pages are in there but no links actually work. I also wonder what the use is of keeping this around.
• /services/m=itemdb_rs. The pages display, but the prices shown are completely outdated and wrong. I don't see use in keeping it around if it's not going to show updated info.
• /services/m=poll. Well the pages work, but those are polls from 2009 and before. They're not linked anywhere either and the navigation bar on those pages link to non-existing pages.

There is probably more. If the goal is archival than I would rather let that be done by the Wayback machine (for example https://web.archive.org/web/20091208041147if_/http://www.runescape.com/title.ws) or keep that in a separate repo. Currently this repository is quite big to clone because of a lot of this stuff and it doesn't even represent the current state of 2009scape.

What are your thoughts?

Try using a symlink to mark index.html and 404.html rather than a redirect page

As per https://github.community/t/adding-404-page-to-a-custom-path/11067

(opposed to 290c7bf)

FunOrbs section of the website should use the actual FunOrb layout

Currently it uses the GameGuide layout

Move secure.runescape.com -> secure

[ ] Rename secure.runescape.com to secure
[ ] Find and replace all secure.runescape.com's to secure

(URL looks much better on live webpage)

I would right now but my laptop can't do IO to safe its life

Make the Play Now Webpage show Android download

Make the Advert iframe window displayed in most pages show random community screenshots

I.e this one here:

Spelling Error on 2009Scape Wesbite

Error-
Spelling error on the 2009Scape website, on the credits page under "Quest Dialogue"

Fix-
Instead of "on" it should be "one"

Screenshot-

"Source Code" button should not direct to Github.

Source Code button currently directs to Github. Only the website sourcecode dropdown should.

[Website] Double stacks of buttons

Make other pages open outside links in a new tab

Per Carrot, it's best practice for external links to open in a new tab so that the user keeps looking around the site

See #68 for an example

Make Hiscores better on Firefox

1. XP slider currently takes up more width than it should
2. Filter and Clear buttons are too far down

Add a favicon.ico

Goes in root directory

2009scape Staff Page outdated

https://2009scape.org/site/community/staff.html

Some things to do:

• Move Bracket to Retired section
• Move Kermit to Retired section
• Add vddCore to Retired section. "vddCore is the original Saradomin Launcher developer, and served as a Community Manager from 2021-2022. She also hosted the deprecated 2009scape Matrix bridge and spends her free time reverse engineering and writing on her blog."
• Add Pazaz to Developer section. "Pazaz is a client engineer who provided the RT4 client currently used by 2009scape. He is also the founder of 2004scape, and to this day runs Windows 98 on bare metal hardware."

Controls link on Plugins page invalid

The "Controls" hyperlink on the website is wrong.
