Can you get the compass to face EXACTLY straight north?

Featured Replies

I did it about 7 months ago, but ever since, I haven't been able to.

No, it's impossible.

ive been trying for years, you can't. this has really been getting on my nerves....

I wish....

 

 

 

It's rather annoying. I can face directly north in the runescape world, but on the mini map, I'm still facing like barely north east or northwest. I wish they'd actually align them.

Expand your mind.

Meh its bugged me a ton how that danged compass won't face the right direction! so annoying i tell ya! :x

 

 

 

personnally whenever i am doing something that only requires 20% of my brain i focus on the exact amount of pressure i have to exerte on a key to get it to move where i want... so far i have x=(kx + R)^8

 

 

 

with x being the amount moved

 

k being pressuire

 

x being waffles

 

R being the rate of pressure

 

and to the eight power just for the heck of it!

Yes, this means I look exactly like the protagonist of that certain anime that my second character, Faye_V is also named after. Yes, I bought a jacket that also looks like his. No in real life I don't have a slain bear to sling over my shoulders. Yes, I'm that skinny even if I no-life it for years in basements. No, I can't shoot a gun. Yes, I can win any other strategic video game you have never played - because I probably have, ahahaha. And yes, I also have brown eyes, yet one of my eyes looks different from the other. And yes, I'm completely oblivious to the [real] world around me as I constantly engineer new solutions to daily problems in my head. When I get hungry, all that isn't food can wait. When I'm sleepy - nothing is of any priority in front of sleep. But at any other time, I never slow down. Never give up. Never Surrender. Makes for a good life.

Getting it to face north isn't that difficult, but getting the compass and the map aligned is a lot harder. Getting the compass, map and game screen all aligned is dang near a miracle.

 

As for the map/screen being misaligned, I think that was on purpose as another ineffective anti-autoer thing; I remember when I first started in RSC, the map and the screen were always perfectly aligned, then the autoers started invading en masse, and so Jagex decided to break their alignment. It worked about as well back then as it does today, meaning it didn't.

If you have hand-eye cordination you might be able to do it...I guess that counts me out!

At least, I think that.

Now that I try it I can't #-o

 

What if you log in then it's facing north?

IMO, as long as I know where I'm going/which direction... I'm happy 8-)

I was just trying to do it as a saw 3 pics of it completed, as I was getting frustrated, I did it. 8-)

Then you notice the buildings are not perfectly aligned...

 

 

 

For mapping, getting the nominal E-W and N-S lines straight would be better than getting the actual compass centred.
