RS ItemID/Image Viewer

[Merchant_in_the_dark]

I got bored yesterday, so I wrote up a quick ASP script to pull item images from the RuneScape database based on Item IDs (the unique ID assigned to every Runescape item).


This program could allow us to see new tradeable items that are added into the database before they're officially released in Runescape. It also brought to light the interesting way that Jagex assigns ItemIDs to items - they seem to use alternating IDs (skipping the odd numbers) for certain groups of items, and completely random placement for others.

How to use:

Simply open the link to either one of the pages, and allow several minutes to load. The program will attempt to pull images for each ItemID from the RS database, any unused ItemIDs will will be displayed as a broken image "Red X".

Links:
Please allow several minutes for the pages to load.

• http://www.webng.com/merchant/itemdb1.asp (ItemIDs 1-10,000)
• http://www.webng.com/merchant/itemdb2.asp (ItemIDs 10,000-20,000)

The newer items seem to have the highest ItemIDs (like the new shields, Fist of Guthix items, crayfish, top hat, etc), even though there's plenty of free ItemIDs in the lower numbers.

My program scans the ItemIDs from 1-10,000 on one page, and 10,000 to 20,000 on the other. I tried ItemIDs below zero and up to 40,000, but I couldn't find any "hidden" items.

I already noticed a graphical glitch in the items #1716 and #1718 (unblessed and holy symbols), which apparently use the same sprite.

Glitch: http://itemdb-rs.runescape.com/viewitem.ws?obj=1716

If anyone wants the code, I'll be happy to post it (it's only about five lines). Enjoy!

This program could allow us to see new tradeable items that are added into the database before they're officially released in Runescape.

I'm sure they have live test environment(s) that are linked to their own databases so I doubt that will happen.

If you remember their Quick Chat fiasco (you could ask to buy pistols and hand grenades), I doubt it. The Quick Chat was linked to the same database as the GE Site.

all he did was make a loop to start at one then ad 1 every time. then after that parse the urls that the loop made

what i dont get is how you get the DB on a web page. i try the url in the code and it doesnt work.

 

[Merchant_in_the_dark]

Jagex has a specially coded file (2394_obj_big.gif) that accepts an "ID" parameter and returns the image associated with the specified ItemID in the RS Database.

I'm not sure what "2394" means, but I believe it could be the specific Database ID for the database its connected to.

 

[FireTorso]

Sweet I'm checking it out right now

 

[Merchant_in_the_dark]

If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask. Keep an eye on this database for any possible unreleased PvP related items!!
