Singleplayer (Offline Mode)
Singleplayer package is a fully self-contained, cross-platform release of the RuneScape experience based on the 2009Scape fork. It allows you to play, test, and develop entirely offline, without connecting to any online servers. Ideal for modding, experimentation, or simply reliving the old-school RuneScape experience privately.
This package includes a pre-configured server, client, default world data, and optional plugins to enhance your offline gameplay.
Setup
- Download the Singleplayer package and extract it anywhere on your computer.
- Avoid installing into paths with spaces (e.g., C:\Users\My Name\Documents\). Use simple paths like C:\Singleplayer or Desktop.
- Inside the extracted folder, you will find server and client directories.
- Start the server by running run-server.bat (Windows) or ./run-server.sh (Linux/Mac).
- Once the console shows 'Server is listening on port 43594', launch the client using run-client.bat or ./run-client.sh.
- Log in with any username and password – a new account will be created automatically.
Configuration
- Main configuration file: game/worldprops/default.conf.
- No internet connection is required after setup.
- Default experience rate ( exp_multiplier) is 1.0x. To adjust it, open data/players/<your_username>.json and modify exp_multiplier.
Resources
The resources directory contains:
- plugins.zip – collection of optional client/server plugins.
Plugins
- Extract the desired plugin from plugins.zip or select a folder from plugins/.
- Move the plugin folder into game/plugins/.
- Launch the client – the plugin loads automatically.
Notes
- This release works out of the box; modifying internal configs is at your own risk.
- If issues occur after changing server files, revert your edits.
- Avoid installing in Program Files or protected system directories.
With this setup, you can play, develop, and explore RuneScape entirely offline – preserving the 2009 RuneScape experience indefinitely.
