Necrotic is a development of the Ruse source.
I have decided to release this because I do not currently plan further developments on the project.
Here's our Patch Notes for all 78 updates.
Here's our repository of all 229 closed bug reports.
Here is our (old) advertisement thread.2022 Release:
Necrotic Server on Github
Necrotic Client on Git
Necrotic Cache - Mirror #1
I would NOT recommend this for a public online-hosted server. It's perfectly suitable for a PRIVATE server or learning.
This is due to the well known Ruse exploits (click here).2022 Update:
One of the common complaints I got was how I released Necrotic. I have re-packaged release so it's easier to get straight from Github and setup in Intellij. I also recorded a new tutorial for those who want a new video.
Written setup instructions can be found on the Github.Need help? Start here!

Spoiler for A lot of older Screenshots/Gifs:
I took a look at the base recently, I'll explain how to add models using on the method on this client (of course there are many other ways though).
1. Open the cache folder and make a new folder called "models"
Spoiler for Step 1:2. Place your model files into that folder, make sure the files are gzipped.
Spoiler for Step 2:3. Login, open the command panel and type repackmodels
Spoiler for Step 3:4. You should see something like this on your console, now just close your client.
Spoiler for Step 4:5. Add the definitions to ItemDefinition.java (client) and item.txt (source)
Note: You can also do this before step 16. Login and spawn your item.
Results: Brand new models
Once you're done with adding models, you can just remove the model folder from your cache as the models are already packed.
