Server implementation

Important notes

  • If your region is changing, you must send the region packet with xteas before the update packet

  • In OSRS, Jagex reverses the bytes of the appearance block. You have to send the information backwards.

      Packet looks = looks(packet, user);
  packet.writeByteS(looks.length()); // varbyte length
  packet.writeReverse(looks.payload().array(), 0, looks.length());

Result

Once the packet is sent every server cycle (600ms) the client will not disconnect and, providing the encoding on the appearance block is correct, you will see your rendered Character
