bored321 Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Hmm, wont be using it since uses more memory than sun java. :unsure: plus that bottom black bar is annoying. Could have at least added a few features to it to make it useful. Thanks Gradeskip93 for my awesome sig! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Den Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Nice to see they finaly got rid of that annoying black area on the right side. :P ........::::: Rainy's YouTube Channel - Rainy's Twitter - Rainy's Facebook - Rainy's DeviantArt - Rainy's Tumblr - Rainy's Tip.It Profile :::::.........

Obtaurian 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. O_o SAME HERE. I'm really annoyed. To put it bluntly, [bleep] off.

RSBDavid 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. :) I believe this is correct. If it's open source it can be modified and improved to be redistributed. :thumbup: Big thumbs up to Jagex for their move on this. :thumbup: As for the Administrator rights comments, I am thinking they meant that it does not require Administrative rights to run. To install, however, you will need the Administrator rights to do so. Is the client available for Mac OSX or Linux? I'm thinking this one is only available for Windows as well. Unless someone would like to compile it for Linux and/or Mac OSX. It works with linux.

Makoto_the_Phoenix Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 WHAT? Open source? Do my eyes deceive me? *downloads source and attempts to compile with gcc* [EDIT] After calming down a bit, this I feel is a huge step for Jagex. I'm not sure what it means in the long term, but for starters, it means that others may develop their own client to interact with RuneScape using Jagex's own source code. This...this is huge. I'm really excited about this. Linux User/Enthusiast | Full-Stack Software Engineer | Stack Overflow Member | GIMP User...Alright, the Elf City update lured me back to RS over a year ago.

Kaphias Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 And I assume it will work just as equally with Mac OSX. Anybody attempted yet?Will not work on Mac due to it being a .msi file.

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. O_o SAME HERE. I'm really annoyed.Which version of Windows are you using? I had no problems installing or running it on XP Pro SP3, and I'm not even the administrator (work laptop. *shhh*) 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...

Den Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 To install, however, you will need the Administrator rights to do so. Try right clicking the installer that was downloaded and choosing to run it with Administrative rights. No reason why it should not if you are the Administrator. There is no run as administrator. Just Install, repair and uninstall then the normal options under there. (Like "open with ...", etc ).

xxshady Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Awesome, except for the lack of ALT+TAB support in Fullscreen mode, making it useless as a full client. Pretty good step forward though. Hopefully if enough people talk about it they will remove the black bar and make ALT+TAB work. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InkofDeath Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Is there an auto-update feature in this or not? Would be a good indicator of future things to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgehog Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 I'm no techno nerd, far from it, but from what I've read this is a pretty big leap for Jagex, and I have to say that even though the client is [cabbage] right now, I'll be looking forward to what they do in the future.

Considering they haven't even made a newspost about it, it doesnt seem to be of much interest to Jagex to improve on the client. :( Also, this seems odd now: (from TheJagexChannel on YouTube) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infi Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Interesting, although at the moment it doesn't seem to be quite good at the moment as some people have told me. Will definitely give it a download and try tomorrow though and see how well it works for me though :razz: 99 Hits, Attack, Strength, Defence, Mage, Summoning, Slayer, Ranged, 96/99 Prayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jard_Y_Dooku Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Wow... at first I thought it was going to be the source code for a stupid 3-line client that just loaded an ActiveX IE object into a window. But it's actually calling the the JVM itself. Incredible. Although... where is that advertisement coming from? Goddamn it, it is IE ActiveX isn't it? I didn't see anything in the code though. EDIT: Regardless, performance is stunningly better. Developing a custom client will be highly interesting now. I might even uninstall Java to celebrate the release of this thing. Never trust anyone. You are always alone, and betrayal is inevitable.Nothing is safe from the jaws of the decompiler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beloved Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Theres already a RS client, its called SwiftKit :roll:Theres only 2 things SwiftKit is good for: Screenshots (+uploading them) and IRC. Personally i only use it for the first reason, but like smellysocks said, this client could come with some really nice additions in the future, we'll have to see though.

RSBDavid Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Theres already a RS client, its called SwiftKit :roll: Swiftkit is a Runescape TOOLKIT. A "client" is an application which request services from a server application. Swifkit is made in visual basic and Runescape is ran inside of an Internet Explorer web browser component hosted in the Swiftkit application.
