Developers Console...

[brunokiller]

Jagex should actually let us use some of those commands as they aren't malicious and can actually be very useful for seeing over large distances. If Jagex were to release some of these commands to players, that would be most excellent of them. Of course, they shall never be released to players for the simple reason that Jagex does not have to, and therefore they will not. It's a shame really that we will never get to experiment with these things.

 

 

For all of you that are curious on how to do it: Pm me

Someone went through the bytecode of the Runescape client Java classes and was able to discover how to edit a few bytes in order to do this. It's actually pretty simple "repeat" although finding it is pretty insane. Props to that guy.

 

I wouldn't recommend doing it as you could get banned.

Decompiling Java bytecode isn't very difficult, and as long as they didn't obfuscate it the variable names and class names will stay the same (speaking from past experiences with other non-jagex jar files). If they did obfuscate it, this becomes much more difficult. Searching for string literals will probably put you in the right place though. :thumbup:

Yeah, it's obfuscated. I just downloaded runescape.jar and poked around in there with winrar and there are class names like aa.class ab.class and etc.

 

But yeah, I'm sure specific command names are string literals. And if you find the class responsible for handling developer commands, it shouldn't be too difficult to backtrace and figure out where the restriction on their use is.

 

Edit: Out of curiosity I ran the runescape.jar class files through the jad program I got from the Minecraft Coder Pack, and found that the developer commands are in mg.class. Interestingly, the commands players can usually use lie within a special try/catch block while the rest lie outside of it... hmm I wonder what would happen if you moved those commands inside that block? :twisted:

 

...though there's probably no way I'm going to be able to recompile it, because the derpish jad encountered over 1000 errors while decompiling :lol:

If it weren't banable (TOS violation from modifying the client), then I would so do this. Hell, I'd use the no-npcs and ortho zoom out commands to construct an epically detailed map of Gielinor's overworld (...Ignoring how long that would take). I actually wish they'd open at least the ortho commands to player use, since we already have the Orb of Oculus so it's not like this would be unfair. I work in 3D graphics and use ortho view a lot when modeling, so seeing RS in orthographic view was pretty awesome for me :P

[UserOnRS]

I would so like to use the Shiftclick command :P - it clicks the second on the list (for most items this will be drop) by clicking and pressing shift and the left mouse key at the same time. I'd probably do it but I probably would download something dodgy or get found out or something.

 

Also, imaging playing like this:

[BioIce]

Looking glorious.

 

I wonder if Jagex will end up locking the developer console if a modded client for this gets passed around.

 

EDIT: Neat, there's a tutorial on how to unlock it. Heheheh.

[Will H]

This just messes around with the client, doesn't it? In that case, I approve. Some of these commands really should be given to all players, zooming out looked really nice.

[BioIce]

In the downloads section, Jagex has a line stating their client is open-source anyway.

[Wkw]

If they say the client is open source, then you're in no wrong for modifying it...

 

But then they could say that you can't connect to their servers with a modified client...

 

 

Ah, screw it. Someone make a really detailed world map

[Trey]

anyone know how to set up a google earth style thing if the someone had the images?

 

something where you can move around a large image of the RS map in HD.

 

like this: http://server.minecraftaddicts.com/map/

[VonMedo]

You can use it while pking to see far away and gain advantage.

You can 1 click to most stuff,usefull at zmi prob or other similar things

if I counted correctly you can see 30 squares in every direction,couldn't get it any higher,would be much much much cooler w/o that limit

[spoiler=big pics]

 

 

made noob account just for this,dont wanna risk anything with main,so no p2p pics.....yet ;)

why would you decompile if the source is available as a small tarball?

[Wkw]

1.increase draw distance to like, double what we have now

2. Allow players to zoom out to roughly that distance

 

BAM

Balanced

[VonMedo]

guess you cant make first person,it zooms to you,not infront of you,if i zoom more i cant see anything

[Trey]

Ortho

[hide][/hide]

 

ortho 30k

[hide][/hide]

 

zoom 500

[hide][/hide]

 

I guess zoom plays really nicely because you can move your camera in all directions.

[BioIce]

Beautiful, isn't it. Now the developer console doesn't feel so cosmetic.

 

To Sees: imagine playing with Orthozoom in GOP. You can see immediate orb spawns so quickly.

 

EDIT: Orthozoom at 100 feels right at home. Makes it feel so nostalgic. Ultima, Diablo, Divinity, oh gods...

 

Excuse me, I'll be going on a nostalgia trip.

[ilovecuttingyews]

Lol @ the unlocked music in VonMedo's 3rd and 4th pics.

[BioIce]

About the shift-click command.

 

It looks as if it just automatically selects the second option on the right click menu. So say you have a nature rune, normally it'll say "use" when you hover.

 

Holding down shift and mousing over the rune shows drop.

 

This would make power-leveling mining so much easier, perhaps.

In the downloads section, Jagex has a line stating their client is open-source anyway.

That's not the java client that deals with the RuneScape server. What Jagex calls the "client" is in fact merely the application that you get when you download their "Windows Client". It's basically a watered-down Internet Explorer without any toolbars or anything, and can view anything on runescape.com. However, it doesn't come with the actual RuneScape client that has to be modified to pull off the developer's console hack shown in this video.

 

If they say the client is open source, then you're in no wrong for modifying it...

 

But then they could say that you can't connect to their servers with a modified client...

They already have said this.

The small tarball they provide isn't the actual client that needs to be hacked to pull off this trick. I extracted it, and the tarball doesn't contain the game client - it's a client for accessing the website and playing without having Java installed. It does not contain the client that we think of when someone says "hacked RuneScape client", and hacking it can't accomplish much. So yes, you'd have to decompile the bytecode of the real client, and as I pointed out above, it sadly seems like it would be considered a TOS violation.

[BioIce]

That clears it. Thanks for explaining the dubious fine print. Such a pity, really.

 

And not like those who used this care much about being banned at this point, I suppose. If it happens, it happens.

 

Hell I'd say enough folk are barking mad over the bots and the general feeling of neglect; they'd just damn the consequences and go right ahead. Heh.

[Den]

I'm curious. Recently, some rs machinima makers have been able to twist their camera in all sorts of directions. (Like viewing from the ground up.

Could this have something to do with the developer console? I've been curious as to how they've accomplished these angles.

 

Example:

[BioIce]

This looks to have been out since late January of this year, actually. So your hunch might be correct.

You can get a similar effect by using re-sizable in browser, and having like 2 or more monitors side by side.

Too bad you have to move your arm like mad.

Dual monitors feel disjointed. Rather have a huge screen as always that allows for high resolution. <3: Only problem being it's so difficult to click green orbs.
