HTML5 beta discussion

I never found chat colours an issue with transparency.

Pretty much all the game messages are in colours that will show right globally, or in the only areas they appear and you can change all the actual chat colours to suit your needs.

I've not been in NIS for a while, but I remember one of the major issues in early Alpha for many, myself included, was that you couldn't make it transparent. I think they did at some point add tranparancy sliders to pretty much everything, but as I said, I'm not actively in it right now (because I don't have the time to keep redoing JAG and removing the old ones).

I was responding to someone who said they didn't use current fullscreen/resize due to transparent chat making things unreadable.

Hmm, I feel like I managed to seriously misread that post >.>

And the html5 has finally been optimized for me and I am getting consistently between 20-30 fps. I get fairly good loading as well, but now if feels like the zone loading we are used to now is equalized by their "seamless loading." It is quite burdening that the assets have to be loaded when you log in or move to another area that requires loading. I think jagex should look into loading potential zones we'll move to in this manner to prevent constantly dealing with what I call "ground zero" asset loading.

 

I'm going to repost this on the HTML5 forum.

Let's see if I can load it yet. :rolleyes:

OH MY GOD IT WORKED AND THIS IS AMAZING

Won't work, guess you have to click the link :/

[Ammako]

How in the hell do I access HTML5 beta/Bestiary if it won't even ask me to enable local storage...

Hmm apparently it was a DNS issue.

So if you press any of the F keys, it instantly crashes the client and makes it impossible to re-load it until I clear my DNS cache.

Nice nice.

And starting to search something on G.E. crashes it and renders the client unresponsive. Can click on the ground and have the yellow cross appear, but nothing happens.

Happens at CW too

and at nexbank for me

 

Also only my f1 key crashes it currently, I accidently pressed it just as ice prison happened... Bad move.

[Ammako]

I think the bad move was going to Nex in the HTML5 beta, but yeah.

I haven't actually tried to see if the other F keys caused this issue, didn't seem worth trying.

I'm thinking it might be related to the Null -> glitch in the live game, pressing F1 causes Null -> to appear in the top left, but it doesn't happen with the other F keys.

[Ambler]

It was funny though, I might grab a video of it.

Remember that little letter everyone thought was a mailbox in the NIS? Well this pretty much nixed that speculation:

 

Ar-Kelvar said:

With the new NIS coming out soonish can we expect a messaging system for contacting offline friends or clanmates to be implemented? Or planned to be added to the system in the future? It seems like a great opportunity to do so, and I would love to be able to message a clanmate or a friend offline so we can still communicate even if the other person is not online.

 

We'd really love to do this at some point in the future but we don't have offline messaging in our current plans.

[Ambler]

f1 still causes gamecrash, guess I still can't pvm on html5. :wall:

[Sy_Accursed]

^I coulda sworn ages ago they said they are aware some keybinds cause crashes but they aren't concerned with fixing it because keybinds is to do with the interface not the game engine AND the NIS team are re-writing keybinds entirely anyway.

[Pirkka]

The optimization has actually been done a bit, if the area is loaded, I get constant 60FPS on max details on my 1,5 year old PC.

[Platinum_Myr]

They still need to fix loading, because now every time you move it loads stuff instead of loading in jumps at area edges. That is nice as long as the loading is smooth enough... but it isn't yet.

[Howlin0001]

Anything from jagex about fixing not being able to import your saved account? It's been broken for a while now.

[Urza285]

Really annoying how i can't load the HTML5 now.

[X3EN]

I had hope when in BTS they stated that they will finally be giving us 'total freedom' over key binds.

 

I lost all of it when I saw the news about 'function keys being reserved'.

 

Just like the action bar: good idea, bad design. They just cannot do UI right.
