[RuneBTS] Runescape Behind the Scenes - Fansite Development

We're working on a new Runescape 2007 fansite called RuneBTS (Runescape Behind the Scenes). We will have a ton of quest guides, databases, tools, and much more for the average Runescape player.

http://runebts.com/index.php

This is a thread for anyone who wants to help out. You can post your feedback, ideas, thoughts, and anything that relates.

Want to contribute?

We need information gatherers!

INSERT INTO `dial_runebts`.`items` (`id`, `name`, `price`, `category`, `requirements`, `method`, `uses`, `notes`, `weight`, `stackable`, `store`, `high`, `low`, `tradeable`, `examine`, `quest`, `dropped`, `respawn`) VALUES (NULL, '[COLOR="Red"][B]NAME OF ITEM[/B][/COLOR]', '[COLOR="Red"][B]PRICE OF ITEM[/B][/COLOR]', '[B][COLOR="Red"]SKILL IT IS USED IN[/COLOR][/B]', '[B][COLOR="Red"]REQUIREMENTS TO USE ITEM[/COLOR][/B]', '[COLOR="Red"][B]METHOD OF OBTAINING ITEM[/B][/COLOR]', '[B][COLOR="Red"]USES OF ITEM[/COLOR][/B]', '[B][COLOR="Red"]ADDITIONAL NOTES[/COLOR][/B]', '[B][COLOR="Red"]WEIGHT (KG)[/COLOR][/B]', '[B][COLOR="Red"]STACKABLE (YES/NO)[/COLOR][/B]', '[B][COLOR="Red"]SOLD IN STORES (YES/NO)[/COLOR][/B]', '[B][COLOR="Red"]HIGH ALCH VALUE[/COLOR][/B]', '[B][COLOR="Red"]LOW ALCH VALUE[/COLOR][/B]', '[B][COLOR="Red"]TRADEABLE (YES/NO)[/COLOR][/B]', '[B][COLOR="Red"]EXAMINE INFORMATION[/COLOR][/B]', '[B][COLOR="Red"]QUEST-ONLY ITEM (YES/NO)[/COLOR][/B]', '[B][COLOR="Red"]DROPPED BY WHAT MONSTERS[/COLOR][/B]', '[B][COLOR="Red"]RESPAWN PLACES[/COLOR][/B]');

Fill out the red parts on this form and post it here. We will use that data on our item database. More databases coming soon.

Blupig is working on a program to do this automatically (fill in queries and run them, to automatically fill up the database). For now though, the more we can do manually, the better.

________________________________

We also need bank pictures!

Post pictures of your bank below so we can cut out the images and use them in our database!

________________________________

We need street prices!

If you know street prices of ANY items, please post them. This can be a range (i.e. 40-50gp), or just a number (i.e. 50gp). Prices will fluctuate, so if the price changes post a new one!

________________________________

We need quest guides and general guides!

Doing a quest? Write down the steps you take, and take many screenshots! We will soon need all of the guides we can get. We will not allow guides ripped from other sites, these must be written by you.



If you do any task, you will be given credit on the page (all database pages show who contributed to it).

I don't have any requests, PM me your Skype. :love:

As for things to do, updated the original post with some tasks that we currently need. As I get more coding done, more things will be added (i.e. new databases will soon be added, guides will be needed, etc.).

Thank you for posting bank pictures guys!

 

Cutting the item pictures out of the screenshots would be a lovely gesture as well, it would suck to have to do all of them by hand

 

First draft of a quest, what do you think of the layout/details etc?
Pictures will be cropped or resized accordingly when the size is decided upon.

The guide template for anyone interested in making quest guides:

Cook's Assistant

Difficulty level:
Beginner
Length:
Short
Skill Requirements:
None
Other Requirements:
None
Reward:
1 quest point; 300 Cooking EXP; ability to use the Cook's range for less chance of burning items.

Items needed:
Egg; Bucket of milk; Pot of flour.
All items are acquired during the quest.​

To start: Talk to "Cook". He is located in the kitchen on the ground floor of Lumbridge Castle.

1) Tell Cook you will help him gather the ingredients for his cake. These are an egg, a bucket of milk and a pot of flour.

2) Pick up the pot from the table in the kitchen for the flour. Follow the north path from the Lumbridge Castle courtyard and then head northwest. Just after the chicken farm is a field of wheat; pick one. Go inside the windmill to the north.

3) Climb to the top floor of the windmill and use the grain on the hopper.

4) Operate the hopper controls to grind the grain in to flour and go back down to the ground floor.

5) Use the pot you picked up from Lumbridge on the flour bin which now contains your ground up grain. You now have one ingredient for the cake.

6) Head back along the path, this time east, and cross the bridge opposite the field of sheep. Go north to the chicken farm. Pick up an egg from the floor. Alternatively, kill the chickens until an egg is dropped. You now have two ingredients for the cake.

7) Pick up the bucket in the corner of the farmhouse, this will be used to collect the milk.

8) Follow the path south until you reach the gate to the cow field. Milk one of the dairy cows on the west side of this field. You now have all of the ingredients for Cook.

9) Run, or home teleport (found in your spell book), back to Lumbridge Castle. Speak to Cook in the kitchen to finish the quest.

10) Congratulations! You have finished the Cook's Assistant quest. Cook will reward you.

 

Looks great Roary! We just need to work out sizes for images, and ways to rate the difficulty of quests.

Continue to contribute, we really appreciate it!

For prices, this is updated many times daily. Just look at this for the average prices and then put them into your site

Looks dece, I feel like I need a ruler or piece of paper to match up the columns of information with the corresponding item on the left though. There's too much space between the picture/item name and the information, and no border lines to aid in that.

I could definitely add borders to the tables, so a similar setup to a forum index (www.sythe.org).

This looks like an awful amount of work, one thing I do know is a good source of street prices:

http://forums.zybez.net/index.php?/pages/2007-price-guide

Edit: Just noticed there is already a sticky about this! :c

 

@Mike, when's the quest system gonna be set up? Waiting for it before I post any more quests

 

Sorry guys I've been extremely busy with some clients.

I'm still planning on doing this, and hopefully soon.

 

[invocation]

If there is anything specific you need done let me know!

 

[I_DONT_BOT]

If i'd have known you were wanting them for questing I could have done some the other day when I was doing MM 4 times :3.

I'll go through all the quests eventually and make some for you in depth
