« on: April 08, 2014, 02:02:33 am »RuneRebels 2.0.9
I know that this is a small update, but I wanted to get the latest code from the testing stage into the release stage and identify what is causing some major bugs; such as the bugs with the Slayer skill.
- The bugs with Slayer have been identified and involve the database; I will be looking for developers to fix them.
- Added ::slayerdebug for developers.
- Added ::clearslayertask for developers.
- Added ::setdefaultchateffects for administrators.
- Added the Wilderness in Edgeville dungeon.
- Fixed some bugs in the engine.
Just a few small things.

Hello Rebels!
This is unrelated to the game, but this is a survey that some people I worked with at my college have created for a new product they are creating. If you guys could take a few minutes to complete the survey, that would be awesome!

I am currently powering through tons of homework so that I can keep working on the 2.0.5 update; we will keep you posted!

News & Announcements / Good news & bad news!
« on: January 15, 2014, 02:00:55 am »Website Upgraded!
Lets start off with the good news; we have a whole new website for you guys! The new website is an entire new design that Kevin worked very hard on, so make sure to thank him for it!
The world select page, online players page, as well as the web client have all been completely rewritten for this new website. The donation page and the highscores will follow very soon, and we hope you guys like the new design!
And now for the bad news; as I was going through the old code and rewriting it for the new website, I discovered a suspicious file on the web server. This was during the planned maintenance, which wasn't supposed to take so long. As a precaution, we did a full security sweep of our VPSes, which is why the maintenance took longer than expected. However, as a security precaution, we recommend that you change your password for the RuneRebels website. Additionally, if you use the same password on any other websites, you should change it on those sites as well. All of our passwords are salted and hashed, so they should be secure, but we always want to be transparent with you guys. We take security very seriously, and will always make sure all your information is secure!
Lastly, we have made significant progress on the 2.0 update, and this is now reflected in the progress bar on the homepage. Enjoy the game!

News & Announcements / VPS!
« on: January 07, 2014, 01:48:03 am »VPS
I am very happy to announce that we have just moved both the website and the game to a brand new VPS, thanks to a generous donation made by jmood.
My internet went out yet again, so I figured that it was the perfect time to make the move.
It is still out as of the time I am posting this, and I am again using my phone for the internet at my house.
The VPS should make both the website and the game a lot faster and more stable, and hopefully get us to that 99.9% uptime!
Enjoy!

News & Announcements / Suspected DDOS Attacks
« on: January 03, 2014, 05:22:24 pm »
As you guys probably know, the game and site have been a bit spotty. While at first we believed that this was just Time Warner messing up, someone may be trying to attack the game and/or website. Last night we turned the tunnel back on to Kevin's house, as my internet went out again, and then Kevin's internet went out today. Either that is a very odd coincidence, as we are on opposites sides of the country, or something fishy is going on.
We are working on implementing a whole fleet of DDOS mitigation techniques for both the site and game, as we want to aim for 99.9% uptime. Plus they really suck, not just for the players, but for the staff as well; I have now spent the last two days working on this issue instead of working on new content and bugfixes for the game, and that makes me sad.

News & Announcements / January 2nd, Downtime
« on: January 02, 2014, 09:17:26 am »January 2nd, Downtime
As many of you probably noticed, the website and game were down early this morning, starting at around 2 AM. This was due to a problem with my Internet, which is provided by Time Warner. Both my home phone and Internet went out, and are still out! However, of course a simple internet outage isn't going to stop me.
I quickly tethered my phone to one of my servers to provide Internet for my entire house, and programmed it to behave exactly like my router. However, my iPhone 5 is behind Verizon's firewall, so I wasn't able to accept connections to the website or the game.
So, I decided to write a tunnel program that allowed me to tunnel through the Verizon firewall, which I spent all night writing! (It is currently 9 AM and I haven't slept yet O.O) The tunnel uses Kevin's Internet as an endpoint to the open Internet, and all the traffic to the servers at my house passes through Kevin. It was just an idea a few hours ago, but it freaking works!!!
Petter has designed a nice diagram to explain this:
And here are some actual pictures!
Kevin's Computer:
Ryan's iPhone for Internet, G5 as a router, and Macbook as a tunnel endpoint:
When my Internet comes back online, we will have a brief period of downtime while we switch everything back to it.
Enjoy the game!

News & Announcements / August 10th Update
« on: August 10, 2013, 03:10:45 am »Here are the contents of the August 10th update.
Included updates:
Database:
- Fixed the wield slot for the Villager Sandals.
Farming:
- Fixed a bug where a Blitz Error could occur.
Engine:
- Fixed disappearing feet glitch; redesign your character to fix it.
- Fixed the bug where your beard would disappear when wearing medium helmets/hoods.
- Fixed the bug where your hair would show through on medium helmets.
The main reason for this update is that a lot of the code in the login server for loading/saving account data has been redone, as well as the protocol between the game worlds and the login server. The engine and the game have gotten very large over the years, and I am trying to simplify and streamline as much of the code as I can, and make it easier to use and configure.
