OpenRS2 Archive

[Greg]

I think the timestamps are off, looking at the version numbers the order is actually:

https://archive.openrs2.org/caches/771 -> https://archive.openrs2.org/caches/486 -> https://archive.openrs2.org/caches/283

and in this order the number of files increases each time.

Yeah looks like more than one of them have the wrong timestamp. 636 was on 2011-02-01 so no way https://archive.openrs2.org/caches/283 can fit between 2011-01-28 (last day of the month) and 636
Oh well, no biggie

Updates:

* Hlwys provided a near-complete copy of the 531 cache: https://archive.openrs2.org/caches/667
* Hlwys provided copies of 508 and what is currently marked as 671 (though the revisions are unclear). These already existed but they have uncovered a few additional files.
* Hlwys provided a copy of 647. This also already existed but it uncovered 3 new files from other caches.

 

[Graham]

Updates:

* Glodenox provided another copy of the 377 cache, which filled in a missing file.
* Glodenox provided a slightly newer version of the 481 cache, which we hadn't seen before: https://archive.openrs2.org/caches/796

 

[Graham]

Updates:

* Perfossor provided a 590 cache https://archive.openrs2.org/caches/841 and a cache from 2012 that unfortunately has an older master index https://archive.openrs2.org/caches/840
* Edward provided a new variant of the 634 cache https://archive.openrs2.org/caches/839
* When you download a cache you'll now end up with a filename like cache-oldschool-live-en-b203-2022-03-02-12-00-07-openrs2#842.zip, rather than just cache.zip. The format of this is: game-environment-language-build(s)-timestamp-internal openrs2 archive ID.

Thanks for the share will be useful

Mirrored. Won't be updating it often though 35gb took way too long to upload

 

[Graham]

Updates:

Just did fast test with basic 317 client trying to load the currently available 289-377 caches, heres the results:

The most interesting ones (from the ones that worked for me) seemed to be 289, 319 & 336 (though not sure about differences between 336 and 377)

Just thought this would be interesting if some1 wanted more easily do some sort of progressive server. (instead of using the correct client for each version, though not sure if theres really that much difference between the clients other than packet changes probably)

Nice tests. You're missing a few, 337, 366 and 368, but otherwise good overview!
Check out some info about those revisions/caches here: https://www.runewiki.org/Old_Engine

I loaded into Lumbridge (50, 50) with NPCs in the area and sent the cache files via ondemand:
289 - loaded - 2005-01-17
308 - stuck loading, title screen song as you noted - 2005-04-18 Desert Treasure
317 - loaded - 2005-06-13 Combination Runes/More RC Tiaras
319 - loaded - 2005-06-27 Recruitment Drive
327 - loaded - 2005-08-01
336 - loaded - 2005-09-19 Fight Pits/Bank Pins
337 - loaded - 2005-09-26 Tail of Two Cats/Port Sarim+Rimmington graphical update
345 - loaded - 2005-11-22 Making History
355 - loaded - 2006-01-23 Enakhra's Lament
362 - loaded - 2006-02-22
363 - loaded - 2006-02-27 A Fairy Tale I
366 - loaded - between 2006-03-14 and 2006-03-21
368 - loaded - 2006-03-28 Temple Trekking
369 - loaded - 2006-04-03 A Soul's Bane
374 - loaded - 2006-04-20 Pure Essence
376 - loaded - 2006-04-25 Wilderness graphical update
377 - loaded - 2006-05-02 Return of the Wise Old Man

Also, a 317 client will need to update the definition decoders to be able to load the caches >350 I think, I think interfaces added a new opcode and there's probably something else. In case anyone was going to use Dane's refactor etc

Oh ye, I guess I forgot to write down what happened on those.

337 - stuck login
366 - works
368 - stuck login

Thx for the update list

Updates:

* The archive now checks for updates once every 15 minutes rather than once an hour. New XTEA keys will also appear in the JSON/zip files every 15 minutes (the number of keys shown in the tables still only update once every hour.)
* I've added initial support for FunOrb caches (though I'm still working on importing the initial set). For people using the caches.json API, one thing to note is that all the URLs have changed from /caches/<id> to /caches/<scope>/<id> (compatibility redirects are in place for existing caches). There's a new "scope" field in each JSON object for this. Currently the scope is set to "runescape" for runescape/oldschool (due to the shared history). Each FunOrb game will have its own scope - this is to help avoid collisions between different games where each archive/index has a different meaning.
* Hallelujah provided a build 627 cache (slightly later than the one we already have): https://archive.openrs2.org/caches/runescape/936
* An anonymous user provided a build 566 cache via Hlwys: https://archive.openrs2.org/caches/runescape/18. We previously only had the master index for this build.

You think u could add an option to grab any missing files from nearest caches they exist in, even though if the version of the file doesnt match the original one? (possible with option to set max value for build number difference) + also including a log which tells where each of the files were grabbed from and possibly total authenticity percent for the created cache. (just a thought as for example many of the 300s caches are missing songs, and dont think they really changed that much)

 

[mige5]

Also would be nice if u could make the map button work for pre #400 versions, just so u could easily check differences between old worldmaps.

 

[Graham]

Updates:

* There is now an API to access individual groups without downloading a whole cache - e.g. https://archive.openrs2.org/caches/runescape/953/archives/255/groups/0.dat. I've enabled CORS with Access-Control-Allow-Origin set to *, so hopefully this will allow people to make some cool AJAX-based projects. The response body does not contain the 2 byte version trailer. Also, note that for RS3 caches, it uses JS5 compression, not ZLIB.
* The individual cache pages now show the completion percentage for each index.

You think u could add an option to grab any missing files from nearest caches they exist in, even though if the version of the file doesnt match the original one? (possible with option to set max value for build number difference) + also including a log which tells where each of the files were grabbed from and possibly total authenticity percent for the created cache. (just a thought as for example many of the 300s caches are missing songs, and dont think they really changed that much)

There are various reasons this is more complicated than it seems on the surface:

* How do you define the nearest cache? Older or newer? By build number or timestamp? (remember that some of the caches aren't labelled correctly) Or do you do it purely based on the group's version number?
* How do you deal with the point at which OSRS forked from the main game? There are multiple groups with the same version numbers because of this.

It'll also be quite hard to implement in a performant manner.

It is a feature that would be nice (ditto finding the nearest decrypted map file for one we don't know the key for), but it's low on my list of priorities atm due to the complexity.

Also would be nice if u could make the map button work for pre #400 versions, just so u could easily check differences between old worldmaps.

The main reason it's there is to quickly check XTEA key validity. Again, would be nice to extend it, but low on my priority list - just doing it for the revisions with XTEA is already annoying because of the variations in the map format over time (and it still doesn't work correctly for all the revisions with XTEA atm).
