rsc-data-server

manage rsc-server worlds, player storage, friend communication, etc. jagex refered to theirs as the loginserver. this server uses JSON to communicate with rsc-server over TCP or UNIX file sockets for IPC.

features:

• sqlite database backend utilizing better-sqlite3 with 100% prepared queries for incredible performance and ACID-compliant transactions with no DBMS setup required
• simplified table schemas with no unnecessary JOINs and utilization of sqlite's native json support
• multiple world support. connect more than one instance of rsc-server with different world IDs for cross-world player private messaging
• automatic hiscore rank updating with the ability to immediately fetch and compare player skill ranks on the fly
• time-throttled logins with secure, bcrypt password storage and automatic re-hashing upon config.passwordHash modification
