June 10, 200917 yr Anyone play runescape on a touchscreen monitor here? Do you find it easier? Any other thoughts/opinions/difficulties? I am considering purchasing one as things like fishing would be easier and relief from clenching a mouse. Thanks for any replies.
June 10, 200917 yr Just wondering, for a touchscreen, can you right click (by using two fingers or something), or do you have to use one mouse button mode? I've never used one. When I see people say it, I pronounce it "poon" in my head. Makes more sense to me. My friend said it in real life once and I almost kneed him in the family-maker.$DO || ! $DO ; trytry: command not found
June 10, 200917 yr Just wondering, for a touchscreen, can you right click (by using two fingers or something), or do you have to use one mouse button mode? I've never used one. obviously there is a right-click feature (i've never used one either) and personally, i would never even consider using one. there are plenty of comfortable mice out there. actually, if you don't like gripping a mouse just get a touchpad like laptops have.

June 10, 200917 yr Just wondering, for a touchscreen, can you right click (by using two fingers or something), or do you have to use one mouse button mode? I've never used one. My laptop has a touchscreen and there's a little button on the side of the stylus to do a right click. You can also right click by holding the stylus in the same place on the screen. It seems that the use of a touchscreen is relatively limited in RuneScape, mostly good for situations in which you only need to right click sparingly (not, say, powermining). Basically, it's mostly good for situations in which the attention that you need to pay is minimal. Also, a touchpad is just as bad. To me, really, the only way to play RuneScape is with a mouse, but I can use a touchscreen occasionally. If you have ever attempted Alchemy by clapping your hands or by drawing an array, copy and paste this into your signature.
June 10, 200917 yr I'm using 1, and it's indeed a huge increas in speed when working with something as click-frenzy as runescape! (Especially if you have to do repetitive clicks at the same spots).. Other than that it's next to useless (there's no other program/game that depends as much on repetitve mouse clicks as runescape I know of) - Other than maybe poorly programmed flash games. Problem is: it's my only clue I have for being banned for macroing.. - (I haven't been given any reason, but this behaviour, where my cursor moves instantly across the screen might be the reason for this). Right clicking is just done by pressing a button at the side of the screen and then tipping on the screen. (Or by binding some key-combo like alt+windows key).. Btw there's a huge difference between a touch screen and a touch pad.. (I have 2 screens connected to my pc btw, the touch screen and a normal screen). Funny thing is that -since I programmed the driver for the touch screen myself- I could optimize it for runescape a little bit. (IE I made it so that when you hold you finger at 1 spot it slowly keeps clicking there.. Which was perfect for alching). First they came to fishingand I didn't speak out because I wasn't fishing Then they came to the yewsand I didn't speak out because I didn't cut yews Then they came for the oresand I didn't speak out because I didn't collect ores Then they came for meand there was no one left to speak out for me.

(IE I made it so that when you hold you finger at 1 spot it slowly keeps clicking there.. Which was perfect for alching). That is why you were banned. It was clicking very consistently, and not because of some action you kept doing -- you were basically programming it to click for you, which is against the rules.

June 10, 200917 yr Author Just wondering, for a touchscreen, can you right click (by using two fingers or something), or do you have to use one mouse button mode? I've never used one. Hmm, i think you can change the mouse buttons to one and do it that way, not entirely sure, though?

It's a feature often seen on touch screen: (In the way I coded the driver, it was even impossible to remove so I thought: hey why not make it a feature :P).. But anyways: it's all part of the hardware, it's not a bot (which is software only)!

June 10, 200917 yr Also, a touchpad is just as bad. To me, really, the only way to play RuneScape is with a mouse, but I can use a touchscreen occasionally. For me, I actually play better now with a touchpad than with a mouse. Majority of my last 2-3 years, I've used a touchpad, so I've gotten so used to it. I would love to try to play Runescape with a touchscreen, that would be a very different experience. ~Dan : 1437 : 173Lowest Combat to 1,000 Total in F2P (23 Combat)Check me out on YouTube!

It dosent matter if that code is activated by a hardware interrupt or not. based on what you are saying i don't believe you could code a driver for anything.
June 10, 200917 yr Getting a touchscreen monitor is expensive, just get an awesome regular monitor, or several! :D
June 11, 200917 yr One of my friends has a touch screen monitor. He thought it would be better to use for Fight Caves against Jad (for quick invo to prayer tab switching), but turned out not be a big change. Suggest a poll for Tip.it - Here!
June 12, 200917 yr I wonder whether tanking in clan wars would be easier with a touchscreen monitor... "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti
June 12, 200917 yr I've played RuneScape with my Wacom Bamboo. I prefer mouse + keyboard though since they're close together and you can easily switch between typing and clicking.

June 12, 200917 yr Pro: You will feel good about yourself for having spent money on a cool piece of hardware. Con: Your giant hand will be in the way of the screen. Your arm will get tired of being held up. Right clicking won't be as easy. Getting pissed off at the game will cost you hundreds in removing the stylus from the screen.
June 12, 200917 yr Okay, after having used the touchscreen a bit more (mostly for skilling, haven't tried it when it comes to combat), depending on the situation, it's pretty much perfect. Example: Firemaking. It feels much more natural using the touchscreen (I have a tablet PC, so it's flat on the table I use), since it's one of the few skills left that requires constant left-clicking (right clicking is another story entirely). My only problem with the touchscreen is that I can't access the keyboard while I'm using the touchscreen, meaning that anything that involves using the keyboard (changing the camera angle, typing in numbers, etc) is pretty much impossible (I can use my keyboard that isn't built-in, but I don't like dragging that out) I like the touchscreen for some things, but for the majority of tasks in RuneScape, a mouse is best.

June 12, 200917 yr Touchscreen monitors can be fun to begin with, but a mouse is much easier and more convenient to use in the long run. Thanks to Uno for the awsome sig <3

June 13, 200917 yr Tried using a touch screen for general purposes, but my arm got tired, fast. I have a rather large trackpad, but I still prefer mice.
June 13, 200917 yr Yeah, I have the HP Touchsmart - it's crap. Stick to Mice and Keyboard, believe me.
June 14, 200917 yr I usually uses mouse but I can use the touchpad well as well. I have tried winning rangers in hill giants using a touchpad and the keyboard only, much to the disguise. (To further their anger, I was using melee when I occuplied the large proportion of hillies) In f2p server of course BTW, just a tip to using touchpads --- set it so that you can click by tapping the touchpad rather than using the bottoms next to the touchpad. It is much faster. A new member; f2p for 4+ yearsSeldom get online due to in real life businessAlways support f2p improvements
June 14, 200917 yr Try a good cheap drawing pad like the Bamboo One. It's a nice change from the mouse, with high precision but none of the strain on the wrist. Because it is like holding a pen.
