RS client for osr and regular game

[Wkw]

Is there any way to have two versions of the rs client installed so that one opens up old school and the other opens the regular game?

It's a bit complex but doable. (This also works for making a NIS Alpha Client)

 

For Windows:

Go to find your jagex cache at either (replace {user} with your username)

C:\Users\{user}\jagexcache\jagexlauncher\

or

C:\Documents and Settings\{user}\jagexcache\jagexlauncher\

 

There should be a 'runescape' folder, copy it and paste a copy rename the copy to 'oldschool'

In that folder there should be a file called 'runescape' (or runescape.prm if you have file extensions visible) inside the old school folder rename this to 'oldschool' and right-click open with notepad.

In the notepad find the line:

Dcom.jagex.config=http://www.runescape.com/k=3/l=$(Language:0)/jav_config.ws

Edit this too:

Dcom.jagex.config=http://oldschool.runescape.com/jav_config.ws

 

Save this then find the shortcut used to open the client and create a copy of it, edit the properties of this to rename it to 'Old school' and change where it says

'Jagexlauncher[Caution: Executable File] runescape'

To

'Jagexlauncher[Caution: Executable File] oldschool'

 

Now your old shortcut will load normal rs, the new one will load oldschool.

 

For Mac:

Copy and paste the application to get a copy and rename this old school.

Right-Click 'show package contents'

Go into 'contents' and find info.plist

In here find

<string>http://www.runescape.com/k=3/l=$(Language:0)/jav_config.ws</string>

Edit this too:

<string>http://oldschool.runescape.com/jav_config.ws</string>

Save out and the new version runs old school, the original runs live game.

 

Both these can be used for the NIS alpha simply:

For windows just name the folder and file alpha and direct the shortcut at alpha

And (for both) when editing the file instead of changing the whole thing just change 'www' to 'world101'

Has result of loading the interface alpha in the client (especially handy for mac users)

A bit confusing..

 

In the oldschool folder, oldschool.prm has this in ie

Dcom.jagex.config=http://oldschool21.runescape.com/jav_config.ws

 

Copying the folder, renaming it to /runescape and renaming the file to runescape.prm and changing it to

-Dcom.jagex.config=http://www.runescape.com/k=3/l=$(Language:0)/jav_config.ws

Also copied the shortcut and changed oldschool to runescape in the location, it does not work.

 

I remember I had a headache to get it to work with oldschool in the firstplace

Erm all I can think of is make sure 'language=0' is set right to match w/e you run the client as.

0 - English

1 - German

2 - French

3 - Brazil Portegese

6 - Spanish

 

Not done the windows one personally, but had many friends do it without hitch.

 

Edit: Skimming I might've added the '-' before dcom.... by accident, try taking tht out.

Well.. I'm an impatient fool. It worked. I just didn't wait for it to load. I assumed that the red bar at the first stage was the old school client loading.

 

Many thanks :)
