RuneScape Revision 435

RuneScape revision 435 is a mid runescape 2 reference used when identifying the client, cache and network protocol generation a RuneScape or RSPS project is based on. RspsList treats the number as a technical compatibility label, not as proof that every file in a private server comes from one untouched Jagex build.

Archive evidence

Release/archive period: October 2006. Evidence status: Direct OpenRS2 build evidence. Where RspsList gives an exact date, it comes from a preserved OpenRS2 build record; where the evidence is weaker, the page intentionally stays at an era-level description rather than inventing precision.

Why revision 435 matters to RSPS

Revision 435 is useful to document because it appears in the historical RuneScape archive and/or became a recognizable reference point in RSPS development. It helps bridge the large gaps between the best-known labels instead of presenting RSPS history as only 317 → 508 → 718.

What to verify in a 435 project

• Client build: confirm the client really targets this protocol family.
• Cache/data: verify the cache revision separately; mixed-revision data is common in RSPS projects.
• Server protocol: packet IDs, login flow and update masks must match the client implementation.
• Project ancestry: a source may keep an old revision label even after substantial protocol or cache changes.
• Custom content: custom items, maps and interfaces do not by themselves change the underlying protocol revision.

Revision labels are not complete specifications

Two servers using the same revision label can behave very differently. One may use the original-era cache, another may load newer maps or items, and a third may only retain the protocol family while heavily modifying the client. For development, preservation or source evaluation, record the client build, cache build and server implementation independently.

Sources and further reading

The primary archive reference for this page is OpenRS2. RSPS popularity/significance is treated separately from Jagex build evidence; community revision lists are useful for terminology but are not used to manufacture exact release dates.
