Is there any way to get the RuneScape HD on Full Screen in a window? I unlike some other people I'm sure here would like Full Screen but would like to multi task as well.

I highly doubt it. There's certainly not any legal ways of doing it.

Lol, "legal"? I'm not sure how finding a way to run a java applet in an 800x600 window is illegal.

 

 

 

That said, I'm not sure how, but I'm quite sure it's possible.

Legal, as in within Jagex's rules. :P

 

 

 

I expect the only way to do it is by fiddling with things you shouldn't be, thus against the rules. Although, with that said, that could breach over into "illegal" in real world terms too if you're reverse engineering their client or something.

On the contrary, the only thing you'd need to do would be on the level of your own computer. Say I figure out how to make a small window which acts exactly as my desktop does, but is only 800x600 pixels. Then I open up Runescape using the normal client, switch to fullscreen, and it stays within my window. Nothing remotely illegal about that.

That's true; I was thinking along the linesof running a modified client, but that works too. :P

 

 

 

If such a method did exist I'd be interested to know Jagex's stance on it. I certainly can't think of any rules it would breach, but you know how picky Jagex can be at times.

Perhaps if you modify openGL to not change your resolution of the screen, but the resolution of its window instead. Perhaps somewhere in the Java vars

I'd like to know how they'd find out. It's similar to the time they banned SwiftSwitch- Yeah, good for you, but unless I'm doing something actually wrong you can't tell that I'm not just using IE.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I don't know nearly enough about modifying openGL to actually try it though.

there should have been a higher res window mode available, gonna suggest it for when they beta ends

i doubt it since fullscreen is a seperate "window"(has a seperate square thing down on the bar at the bottom of the screen)and when that window loses focus it closes so if they wanted it to be in a window they could just have it not close when its minimized.

Nobody ever said anything about them wanting it in a window... :P

Could you try minimizing it and then right click and say "resize"? Alt+Esc minimizes all windows, fullscreen or not. At least you could minimize it, then do what you want to do and restore it.

 

 

 

~Tbh, I have no idea whether this will work, just an idea :P

I think it needs to not auto close. Id like to alt-tab while playing, even tho I can resume fullscreen, I cant see my messages (which dont pop up for some reason when fullscreen is on) and its a pain and not even worth it to resume only to "guess" when the next message is and respond.

The only problem with full screen though, is that it would automatically close the second another window becomes active, regardless of whether or not it is windowed.

 

 

 

However, if that problem can somehow be eliminated...you could set up 2 monitors and us it that way.

I personally woudl love a bigger screen area but still windowed..

 

 

 

 

 

Wonder if Jagex can do it?

I use 2 monitors and its a real pain that every time i click on a window in the second monitor it Auto sizes back to normal.

I'll take a look and if I can work it out I'll post a guide.

that is because when the fullscreen rs loses window focus it closes, i am not sure why jagex did it this way but there is some reason they did. so if you can get some program or something that fakes a window having focus then you can use 2 monitors without the fullscreen closing.

If Blizzard can, Jagex can.

Can they do it? Probably. Should they? In my opinion, no. I think it's a benefit that you should actually pay attention to the game your playing if you want to use full screen mode...

^ You can enjoy the ingame chat if you want but I prefer something more clever. They really should make a bigger window version, full screen window which wont matter if it loses focus.

 

 

 

Yesterday I pressed the calc on my keyboard and I forgot it ganna have to take me out of full screen an that.. Bit silly really. Just needs a full screen window so you can use other windows while you play. They didnt have' to design it the way they did.

 

 

 

I would love to enjoy full screen but alot of the time you cant and its more hassle. The layout is alot nicer in full screen though.

Jagex have to do it, we can't, it's inside their .jar files.

 

 

 

I guess I could download their .jar files, deobfuscate it and then upload it, but then you'd be playing on a "modified client" so it'd be a bannable offence, even though they can't tell if you're using one, but it's not worth the risk :(

So you are assuming that people who multi task don't pay attention to the game? That is wrong, I multi task and I pay attention and KNOW what I'm doing at all times on game.

Correction, I should've said,

They are called virtual computers, you can get free ones off the internet. The run like an application on your natural computer, but are open like a window, and you can access and install/uninstall do anything you would to a normal computer in that window and not worry about it messing up your computer.
