Asteria-3.0

Asteria is an open source Runescape emulator for the #317 protocol that has been in ongoing development since late 2013. It aims to be fast, reliable, scalable, and easy-to-use. It currently runs on Java 8.

Please check out the successor to this project Luna, which aims to correct the many mistakes I made throughout the various releases of Asteria.

Development History

Asteria 1.0 (Jan 2014)

Asteria 2.0 (May 2014)

Asteria 3.0 (July 2015)

Ideas for 4.0 (If developed)

These are things that could possibly be added to the 4.0 release if developed, entries marked with * will be added for certain. Alternatively, a 4.0 release will probably be scrapped entirely and a new project will be started from scratch containing everything below and more.

Everything below will be added to my new project Luna. I will no longer be doing any major overhauls on this repository, but I will still be fixing any basic issues that come up. Treat my new project as if it was Asteria 4.0, because it's goal is to correct everything I did wrong with this release.

  • Maven to manage dependencies *
  • JUnit for unit testing *
  • Log4j2 for usage as the logging framework *
  • Log file for serious errors (in conjunction with log4j2) *
  • Classes like Item, Position, etc. made immutable *
  • Usage of Guava's service model in place of the Service/ServiceQueue model *
  • Usage of Guava's stopwatch in place of Asteria's stopwatch (Guava does it better) *
  • ForkJoinPool instead of GameSyncTask and GameSyncExecutor? Or at the least a redesign of the two aforementioned classes
  • General design and performance optimizations, some of which were mentioned on the official 3.0 release thread on Rune-Server *
  • Better networking model and decoupling of message encoding/decoding *
  • Update content to OSRS revision (is it really worth the time though?)
  • Better task/action decoupling, support for OneInstanceTask's as well as OneTimeTask's, and support for actions and action policies such as triggering events with certain policies, etc.
  • Swapping of the Groovy plugin system for something more practical like Xtend, or even Scala
  • More of the content code added as plugins
  • Completely null-free character lists, for the iterator, general methods, etc.
  • Improving the plugin model by adding functionality for determining which plugins listeners in the chain are executed (if multiple plugin listeners are mapped to a plugin context class). Apollo does this very nicely
  • Hyperion's region system with an algorithm that prioritizes player by distance and combat state
  • Apollo's file system and pathfinding implementation (thanks Major)
  • JAGGRAB
  • YAML instead of JSON for data serialization. Much more readable and easier to write
  • Usage of Guava's EventBus instead of event listeners for plugins *
