Windows such as the graphics options and BoB inventory should not be closed by combat You should be able to open multiple tabs (like stats, inventory, spells, prayers, etc) You should be able to move the tabs - the current system gives unfair disadvantage for those with wide screen resolutions, like 1920x1080 (longer mouse movements)

As I said in my previous post, these kind of terms are NULL AND VOID, since they cause significant imbalance in the parties' rights and obligations under the contract, to the detriment of consumers (Unfair terms in consumer contracts regulations 1999). RuneScape is a paid service, so it's subject to consumer protection laws.

The thing is that people have been banned for autoing, even though they didn't. Jagex's macro detection is far from perfect, contrary to popular belief. Cry moar pl0x? Show the proof and I'll believe that. By proof I don't mean a bunch of botters getting banned and then rage quitting on forums claiming they didn't. You show me real proof that these players weren't botting, or else it's just hearsay. Has anyone ever told you that you are so cute? And I think you should prove to me that Jagex is 100% accurate with their bans, or else it's just hearsay. Good job. Ah, I see you all like to believe in fairy tales. You have no proof that the person didn't auto, jagex however has to have sufficient proof that they did use a macro system of some sort on their rs account. It's been discussed quite a few times in past rs forums about the "unfair bans". Jagex as a company has members pay for accounts, if they didn't have proof and "wrongfully banned" players they'd suffer lawsuits, as childish as that sounds. You're all going to say "well they don't show proof we autoed"...guess what they don't have to. Autoing is a immediate perm ban. Oh by the way to the guy saying by my theory global warming, gravity, and physics are not real. First off gravity has been proven, so has physics in general. However as for globall warming, their is Al Gore on one side, and scientists with proof the earth goes through cycles on the other. Anyway back on the subject of RS. Jagex owns your souls, it's like your God. They'll do as they see fit. :thumbsup: It is a scientifical fact that a detection program without false positives does not exist. Actually, Jagex is severely breaking the consumer protection laws by not providing proof when banning member accounts. Remember that consumer protection laws are ALWAYS above terms and conditions. A term that violates consumer protection laws, such as the unfair terms in consumer contracts regulations, is automatically null and void. If they don't provide any proof, the account is basically banned without a valid reason. http://www.oft.gov.uk/about-the-oft/legal-powers/legal/unfair-terms/what-is-unfair

Any half decent recently published bot has some form of response script. All the people using response scripts I've that encountered made it blatantly obvious they were botting. Or their English skills were limited.

For the umpteenth time... bots are NOT a problem unique to RS or Jagex, and the solution to them is already well-known: CAPTCHAs. Jagex will show it is serious about botting when it deals with them on a systemic basis. So far I see nothing in that regard. In fairness, this has occurred because we all whined about randoms and they drastically cut them down, but they've gone too far. We need simple, short puzzles/randoms that appear to stop bots without wasting 1-5 minutes of real players' time. Not Leo the gravedigger, just simple CAPTCHAs will do, and they are not hard to implement at all. CAPTCHAs were used in RuneScape Classic (fatigue & sleeping bags) and cheaters easily bypassed them by sending screenshots of the CAPTCHAs over IRC to other cheaters. Writing a CAPTCHA code for someone gave one point and having someone else write it for you cost one point.

When Runecrafting came out, there was just one type of Rune Essence that was useable by both p2p and f2p and could be imbued at any altar. Greedy morons saw this as a gold mine, created tons of bots to just mine ess on f2p then sell it to members or just to get gp to sell irl. Jagex split Rune Essence into Pure and "regular" ess with the built-in restrictions to prevent this. This ultimately resulted in bots paying for membership to mine p-ess, sell it for way more then regular ess, cover membership costs + make more money. And the payments were made with stolen credit cards, so Jagex had to make the trade limits. Basically, it was Jagex's own fault that the RWT CC fraud problem worsened.

I just found three scripts for a chat responder on a botting forum. Took me about two minutes. They were all free - and all had decent feedback. Granted, their responses weren't too complex, but they would fool the majority of players. So... good fight? Didn't provide the link. So yes, good fight. pj'd It would be against the forum rules to post the link. Pseudocode: if chatline == "hi" { say ("hi"); } if chatline == "wc level" { say ("My wc level is " + character.getWoodcuttingLevel()); } //etc Not very hard. Remember: there is no rule that says you must respond to others while playing the game. Reports for not responding are false reports that overload Jagex's anticheat team. More false reports means less banned real cheaters. Jagex even provides means to block chat messages (ignore list and public chat off/friends options).

Alan Rickman for Sliske the Mahjarrat. Dunno for my own character.

Before there was in-game world switcher, people made world switcher programs which had bookmarks of RS servers. Jagex thought world switcher programs gave unfair advantage and made them against rules. Players suggested to add the switching timer instead of banning the programs. Now the timer is as obsolete as the pure essence separation (which was done due to RWT bot armies).

Anisotropic Filtering would be useless to RuneScape as it has such a small viewing area. It also disallows the use of Anti-Aliasing, so even if it was added, I don't think people would choose AF over AA. I certainly wouldn't. Besides, does RuneScape even have Oblique Camera Angles? It doesn't disable anti-aliasing, at least when enabled with ATI Catalyst Control Center. And I can see a clear difference between 0x and 16x AFed RuneScape. 0x 16x

Prifddinas is a good candidate for the location of the soul altar. Seren is the goddess of Anima Mundi.

Due to the copyright notice and the lack of F11 "semi-fullscreen" mode, it seems like it's still better to use Mozilla Prism.

Add anisotropic filtering to the graphics options Fix the water in Daemonheim, it's black in OpenGL mode

The law of supply and demand exists for that reason. The price of an item is correct when there is equal amount of supply and demand. E.g. not enough supply -> price rises -> more people start selling the item. In supply and demand based economy there will always be equal amount of sellers and buyers. That's why the price limits in GE are bad: they can cause unbalance in supply and demand. Lower level players (who can't kill Armadyl bosses) will do the lower level tasks, such as gathering dragon bones.

I suppose the soul altar is located at the Mahjarrat ritual site, because the Mahjarrat seem to be based on liches. A lich is a character who has moved his soul to an object outside of his body (phylactery, soul jar) in order to gain immortality (ability to resurrect after the body of the lich is killed). Koschei the Deathless in Russian mythology is a good example of a lich. The soul altar probably bypasses the effect of the soul jar in the rejuvenation ritual, so the sacrificed Mahjarrat dies without a chance to resurrect. The Death altar was probably originally a portal to Freneskae, which is a "deathly" world according to Enakhra the Mahjarrat. The evil elves wanted the death altar to summon their dark lord, who is suspected to be Zamorak. If Zamorak the Mahjarrat God is the dark lord, we should hear something about it in the next (final) Mahjarrat quest. The dark bow, dropped by the dark beasts, is the only bow that can shoot dragon arrows. Dragon items came from Freneskae according to the fairy who sells dragon items in Zanaris. Enakhra the Mahjarrat confirmed this in a postbag. I remember it has been said somewhere that the law altar was originally a portal used by Saradomin to enter Gielinor. The blood altar was originally a portal used by lord Drakan. The Moon Clan built the altars to places where the corresponding power was strongest. A portal to the world of death would be the best place to build the death altar over, for example.

Looks like only the Java launcher program is open source. Everything else (including the main window) is closed source. Can't make a toolkit based on this.

One reason why RS works slowly (about 10 FPS at GE) is that it isn't multithreaded, meaning that it can only use one CPU core. For example, if your computer has a quadcore processor, only 25% of its power is available to RS.

RS is already partially written in C++. Things like HD mode or the "new" SD/software mode wouldn't be possible in pure Java. Go to the Jagex cache folder and you'll see some DLL files like jaggl.dll. And I agree that Jagex should take RS out of browser. Java isn't restricted to browser applets.

Java doesn't have methods for the HD graphics mode either. Java Native Interface can be used if something can't be done in Java.

Would the "Guantanamo approach" be better then (banning people permanently for the slightest suspicion of being autoer)? Surely a bigger percentage of autoers would be caught with the Guantanamo approach, but a lot of innocent players would be banned too. A bugless program does not exist. Cheat detection programs always have false positives and false negatives. The higher the detection rate , the higher the false positive rate.

The Mahjarrat seem to be based on this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lich_%28Dungeons_%26_Dragons%29 I wouldn't be surprised if the diamonds of Azzanadra were revealed to be Azzanadra's phylacteries which must be destroyed before he can be killed completely outside of the ritual, and that the other Mahjarrat have similar soul jar objects too. The Mahjarrat are pretty much deathless outside of the ritual, but since Palkeera died outside of the ritual and the Chaos Elemental said that more than one Mahjarrat will die this year, there must be another way to kill them (that's destroying the phylacteries). See also this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koschei That's interesting because there's Koschei in RuneScape too, and he's probably Kharshai the Mahjarrat. Notice the underlined part: Azzanadra lost his powers when the diamonds were stolen. And about the story told about in Desert Treasure: it was said that the enemies of Azzanadra put Azzanadra's soul to the diamonds. That's an obvious cover-up story! I think the diamonds were created by Azzanadra himself to become deathless.

It's an Internet Explorer based web browser. IE doesn't support the resizable mode, so I wonder why Jagex still has it. There are better alternatives such as Mozilla Prism, which can be used to make a toolbarless site specific browser of any website.

Future Updates was the only thing I used on RSOF (since tip.it and other popular fan forums don't have it).

Old posts have been destroyed. :evil: :evil:
