OSRS Shanty

[SeaShanty2]

Shanty is an OSRS project that has been under development for over three years, slowly but surely shaping into the next top-quality RSPS experience to feature the best of Oldschool while also putting something new on the table. ...surely there have been many projects that have said similar things. Let's just set the theme and let the rest of the thread speak for itself.

Showcase‎‏‏‎

The overworld of Shanty is currently under construction and areas shown in this thread may change in the future.

Shanty Island‎‏‏‎
In this server, your journey will take place in Shanty Island, a custom-made landmass of a similar span to F2P OSRS (wilderness nonwithstanding). This new miniature world will group up all of Gielinor's most worthwhile features in an organic yet compact arrangement.

Shanty Island - Home (Shanty City)‎‏‏‎
Shanty City features a number of useful facilities ranging from the usual shops and thieving stalls, to an all-new rooftop agility course, means of transportation around the island, and more.​

Spoiler for Shanty City:

Main square‎‏‏‎
Welcome to Shanty City!

Cart transportation system
An underground railway can be accessed right by the town square. This transportation network will take you to or near all major cities and locations.

Marketplace

The Alley - Corrupt fairy ring system, pet insurance, taxidermist

The Shopside - POH portal, Slayer Master, Weapon shop, Armour shop, Ranged shop, Warding workshop, Mage of zamorak, Smithing & Smithing shop, Estate agent

Port Shanty
Side note: Listen to this and look at the above and below pictures. Epic feeling.


The Yapping Werestool
Be careful not to be near a drunk pirate, or else he might bump into you and start fighting you as well!

Shanty Island - Town of Luce‎‏‏‎
Shanty Island's desert town features plenty of minigames, a new rooftop agility course, and hosts the conflict against the invading Slayer monsters (see Slayer Enhanced below).​

Spoiler for Town of Luce:

The Abattoir
A new Slayer area, also known as the slaughterhouse. Read the "Slayer Enhanced" section below for more details!

The Warriors' Guild
Our new desert-themed Warriors' Guild brings the features you know to a new light.

https://youtu.be/X1GvY05_HLM
Note: The above video was made before the Duel Realm changes.
The Duel Realm
The Duel Realm exists for gamblers duelers to duel in an area that doesn't congest our overworld in Shanty. With the Duel Arena being so wide with all 4 arenas, it just had to be done!

More will be posted about the Town of Luce soon!

Shanty Island - Village of Shadows‎‏‏‎
Shanty Island's swamp village features the center of an enticing lore coupled with regular RuneScape activities like Barrows.​

Spoiler for Village of Shadows:

Barrows

Custom Crafting Guild
The Crafting Guild hosts an enhanced pottery wheel, spinning wheel, and furnace (for up to gold ore). If you have suggestions for more features here, let us know!

Krystilia's Camp
Krystilia is an exception to our Slayer enhancements and will be her own separate master staying true to RuneScape's Slayer system. The Corrupt fairy ring system can be seen here as well.

Shanty Island - Skilling Havens‎‏‏‎
In traditional RSPS fashion, gathering nodes will be grouped together in dedicated areas for skilling. These areas will be lively and ensure all our players can have a grand time training their skills.​

Spoiler for Skilling Havens:

Fishing Haven & Port Pallente


Fishing Haven - Fishing Student scene


Woodcutting Haven - East

Woodcutting Haven - West - Redwood Trees

Here, sand crabs are spread across our beautiful miniature beach. Newcomers can venture here to train their initial combat skills!

Listen to this Sea Shanty 2 crab rave music for the vibes.​

The Wilderness Realm‎‏‏‎​

Sitting somewhere in the high seas, somewhere in the far reaches of another realm lies the Wilderness Realm - a realm that is connected to our world only through the corrupt fairy ring network. Don't worry though, the Wilderness is just as you remember it to be.

Spoiler for The Wilderness Realm:

The Ruined Outpost

PvP

The Mage Arena

Chaos Altar

Wilderness God Wars Dungeon

Crazy Archaeologist

Chaos Fanatic‎‏‏‎

Vet'ion

Venenatis

Chaos Elemental

Wilderness Achievements

Edgeville Dungeon

Warding Reborn‎‏‏‎
Brought to Shanty from the depths of Jagex's scrapped concepts, this new skill will enable players to create a variety of magical items from utility trinkets to new combat gear. Dozens of hours of ideation and reiteration have gone into filling in the blanks and making due adjustments around the differences between OSRS and RSPS, all to bring you a never-before-seen piece of skilling content that will serve as a platform for yet more unique additions to Shanty as development moves forward.

---

Premium Stocks‎‏‏‎

To give a sense of scarcity to items while still maintaining the ease of an RSPS, Shanty holds the concept of having shops own a premium version of their shop stocks. Premium goods do not restock over time. Instead, players must restock these shops using provision tickets which can be generated using recycling bags. Recycling bags can be picked up at the nearest recycling bin!​

Spoiler for Premium Stocks:

Slayer Enhanced‎‏‏‎
Existing skills will be touched up to some extent or other in Shanty. As of yet, Slayer is our most prominent example.​

Spoiler for Slayer:

The basic gist of Slayer is just as it was before: a slayer master assigns you a task and you kill mobs accordingly. In Shanty, we have moved aside a large portion of the more boring mobs, with the in-game narrative of it being that some species have settled on Shanty Island while others haven't had as much success. In conjunction with revamped task lists, this should make Slayer a great deal more fun than it's ever been! For yet more added spice, we will not be delegating all Slayer Master duties to poor ol' Vannaka, but will instead feature multiple masters to receive tasks from.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwvB8M8-Hh8

Settled monsters
Settled monsters can be found either in dungeons (just like regular RuneScape's) or the revamped Slayer tower. Slayer masters will tell the player where to find each and every monster and how to get there.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qM0yOiMz1aU
The Abattoir
This new facility acts as a centralized access point for all of the "large portion of the more boring mobs" that serve little purpose outside Slayer tasks. Pyrefiends? Find them in The Abattoir. Minotaurs? Also in The Abattoir.

Slayer masters​

In an effort for more variance, Shanty has most Slayer masters available. They are all available at the same location. The NPC residing in the slayer master hut is player-sided; player A could see Vannaka, but player B could see Duradel on the same tile.

The Regular RS Good Stuff
In case it needs saying, Shanty's original features will indeed coexsist with all the usual good stuff.​

• Amazing, uplifting and positive community? ✓

With that being said, I can assure you that this server will be one of the most impeccable ones that will go down in RSPS history.

[uint32_t]

Looks unique, nice job! Will be cool to follow this.

 

[King Waldo]

Working on the world for months now has become a labour of love. As someone who hasn't played a private server since OSRS released, I'm extremely excited to play this once it's out. I can attest that Arham, Maximax, and Sino have put a lot of thought into making a whole lot of unique content that feels like OSRS without compromising on what people enjoy about private servers.

Here's how the world looks... for now. There are a couple more planned islands, so stay tuned for more!

 

[Suic]

unique project, best of luck arham & sino n whoever else is working on this

 

[Maximax]

The many months I've spent working by Arham's side have been a great joy, I'm so happy this project has finally been shared with y'all :yay:

[Nozemi]

I've been excited for this ever since Arham showed me some sneak peaks. The world map is kick ass!

For those interested in the full world map as of now:

As you've probably noticed the water in the map overview is black and this is because I haven't gotten to support textures yet for the water overlays. Also, some of our custom bridges in-between islands aren't drawn properly on the world map. A minor inconvenience, will be fixed in time

 

[tousuki]

this looks amazing, the Abattoir must be pretty big to house a lot of monsters

 

[Abnant]

Nice, lets hope it makes it to hosting without scapefiles.jar present in the gamepack!!

 

[Owain]

Gl gents, seems interesting

 

[Mokhtar]

Well done ,Finally a creative team here Best of luck on this amazing project will be following for sure

 

[Luke132]

Wow, I wasn't expecting this when I opened the thread. Finally something NEW. I hope it goes far, i'll be keeping an eye on this one.
