XxTearGodxX Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Yeah, can be found in the Downloads and Wallpapers section, and you have to install this onto your computer to use it. Not sure how old this is but it says you don't need to have java installed and it doesn't require administrative rights for your PC. From what I can tell it doesn't provide any extra "perks" or benefits, so I won't be using it I'll just stick to my web browser. http://www.runescape.com/c=7w2wWYvxfWI/kbase/guid/Downloads_and_Wallpapers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilya Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 There's been a client since I started playing so around 2004.It doesn't have anything useful really.Although the fact that it doesn't require Java or admin rights is news to me EDIT: Apparently it is open source :twisted: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mecakoto Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Theres been a client since I started playing so around 2004.It doesnt have anything useful really.Although it doesnt require Java or admin rights is news to me I remember it being just a window without toolbars, etc. This "no Java required" is new to me. 1800+ Recent Updates on the RSOF are talking about it, so I guess it must be nice and shiny new. The challenge of a mistake is not to avoid it. The challenge of a mistake is dealing with the outcome. Proud of who I am and what I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sa121 Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Yup, it's new, I've been using the (now old) client recently, becuase Firefox hasn't been loading Runescape for me. Just downloaded the new one, gonna see if its anything different.EDIT: Never mind, can't test it due to admin controls, L.

RSBDavid Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Holy [cabbage] its open sourced! I will test it after it is finished downloading. [software Engineer] - [Ability Bar Suggestion] - [Gaming Enthusiast] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaida23 Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Wow. The installer is almost 10MB! That's a pretty big jump from the 90kb that the last client was. Check out my blog to read the Adventures of a Big Damn (F2P) Hero. THE place for all free players to connect, hang out and talk about how awesome it is to be F2P. So, Kaida is the real version of every fictional science-badass? That explains a lot, actually... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mil Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Seems interesting...why would they open source it, basically inviting people to hide keyloggers in it and put it on their own site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beloved Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Wow. The installer is almost 10MB! That's a pretty big jump from the 90kb that the last client was.Thats probably due to the included java environment (im guessing) Visually nothing has changed though, although there is now a menu bar with an options tabs, but you can only select languages.

Dragondan_Ro Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 I downloaded it today, didn't know it was shiny new xD just remembered that the client used to be at the download section, and that I could probably use better graphic with it.

PhaperPlane Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 So now this is Open Source, Tip.It could start development on its own Runescape Client based on this correct? I would imagine that Jagex could make an announcement next week. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obtaurian Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 My computer wont let me install it. <_< Says I'm not granted administrator access, which doesn't make sense because I AM THE ADMINISTRATOR. To put it bluntly, [bleep] off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All_Is_Great Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 So, does it just let you play runescape w/o a web browser? Does that mean it'll run faster? since each of my loading screens takes like 7 seconds... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dexek Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Ok.. I downloaded this 40MB badboy, but it's a ".tar" file.. what opens that? Should I change the filetype to get it to install? All that's opening it is WinZip.. in which case when I decompress it, I can't find which of the 32039 files to click to run it. Any help is appreciated. |^_^| PoetryIndexed Picture 1Indexed Picture 2 Killed my maxed Zerker pure April 2010 Rebooting Runescape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any help is appreciated. |^_^|You've downloaded the source-code, that's not really needed unless you are wanting to inspect it. The installer is the .msi link which you should be able to find quite easily too. (At the Click Here to Download part). If you want the direct link it's here. It's interesting that Jagex have released it under the GNU, but there's nothing very interesting there - the client itself is simple enough and the majority of the source-size is due to the OpenJDK packaged with it, although partially modified by Jagex it's small fixes for the most-part.

I used peazip and had to extract it twice. It extracts to about 350MB. I will have a video up in 10 minutes or so showing how it loads up. The compiled version is only 9MB or so.

Dexek Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Ohh! Haha thanks a lot. Into the recycling bin she goes.

I imagine it places some data on your computer so it may be faster. Is the client available for Mac OSX or Linux? 2257AD.TUMBLR.COM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Den Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Im not allowd to install it because im not an administrator on this pc even though I am... It also clearly notes in the download area on the RS site you dont have to be an administrator on your computer to install it.
