15-Sep-10 Z-Buffering


Toad

Recommended Posts

Some of the new challenge rooms within the occult theme didn't get randomly assigned to free-players in the previous three themes.

Honestly, I'd rather they didn't give us the rooms (unless they didn't give us the member only ones.).

I understand that, but I'm afraid that F2P players not liking getting those rooms is the point :P

 

I quite liked the new loading screen(s).

Something seems to be wrong at mithril dragons, the black box is mine but the strange blackness around the mith's is not. :ohnoes:

I had similar issues running to Kura from the fairy ring, but not in her dung, so it looks like the older part of the ancient cavern will need some patching.

 

EDIT: Also happens in her dung, just less frequently and noticeably.

 

Double EDIT: The hell happened to trimmed skillcapes? I understand the shortening was graphical, hopefully they can change it back at some point but it's not a big deal to me, but the new inside trim colors look DISGUSTING.

Apparently it is now possibly to blow up lit barricades with explosive potions. :P

Said so in the update, but it didnt mention the lit part.

glad they fixed that, it was rather annoying =\

I'm actually surprised they "fixed" that. Intentionally lighting your own barricades to stall your opponents (usually when they're trying to rush through your base's defence) is a well-established strategy. Meh.

 

Anyway, this update sounds great! I can't wait for the new and improved animations that are bound to come out now. :thumbup:

 

I do find it a bit annoying that they decided to mess with item inventory images again, though. This has happened a few times in the last year, and the quality of the images always seem to decrease; it's never an "improvement", from what I can tell.

 

 

I too find the barricade 'fix' confusing. With the massive magic defence available nowadays, cade burning was the only way to slow down attackers in cw wars. It has been in the mini-game for over 5 years, why suddenly decide it was a problem?

My guess is it wasn't supposed to be like that from the start, but they weren't able to do anything about it until recently.

Great updates but I don't think we'll truly see the effects of z-buffering until they decide to release a new animation pack. I wish the fps wasn't capped at 51 though, hope this gets improved a little bit in the future to at least 60 to match most monitor refresh rates. Lowest I've gotten so far is 20-30fps at the GE on world 1 which is nice. :)

The part of my Magic Cape (T) to my back is now grey. SAD BLUTTERS! Now I gotta get Agility...

And I don't much like the new font, but I can live with it...

 

What has the update actually FIXED? I thought it might fix the way that hair corroded through hats, but I haven't seen any previously affected examples to confirm this yet.

Good update, if they didn't [bleep] everything up. Capes, potions, PP items, the wildy wall (Which ISN'T as easy to jump) etc. They better give us some kick ass content to make up for it.

They changed the classic game loading bar we have had since the beginning of RS2 :(

 

That's not classic. I still remember the grey loading bar with the old Jagex logo on Runescape Classic.

 

This new loading screen beats both by a mile. Oh wait I forgot... this is the Runescape Community and nostalgia comes first.

I'm a fan of the new command prompt. I wonder if it will be expanded in the future. Wouldn't mind a current Ping added to the displayfps list

 

I do need to ask what the Mem area means. I assume it has something to do with memory.. RAM on my computer or is it internet related? Mine is constantly flirting with the area right at where it turns red

What is fps? Anywho, looks interestingly enough, I just don't understand what any of those commands actually do...

FPS is first person shooter, runescape has turned into the largest online FPS.

 

Just kidding... FPS means frames per second.

Lolz. HaloScape anyone?

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...
