RuneScape

Public change tracker based on community feedback. Looks like a few QOL patches are on the way as well.

I clearly missed the lv30 alterations glyphs unlock, so the planned pop-up is definitely appreciated.

Let the race to 99 begin.

Building it right above the Transgender flag!

Lemmy.world's Place Canvas has OAuth with Lemmy - You can sign up with any instance!

Right at the end of DXP at August 7th 12:00 Game Time, Necromancy will rise. Magic, Archeology and Dungeoneering have been added as requirements for 75+ necromancy content.

July 2023 -

Going forwards, I'm going to start keeping track of the progress as the month goes on, because usually lots of cool things get discussed in the Discord but is hard to find at the end of the month. But regardless, here's a quick highlight looking back:

Darkan.org - 2012 Remake

Darkan is the oldest remake on this list - It's been developed for years by a veteran RSPS owner, with authentic dungeoneering support, multiple near-maxed players (on 1x exp rate), and more.

• 38 new bug fixes/features
• The first OSRS player to max is now active in Darkan's Discord

2011scape.com - 2011 Remake

2011scape is a newer remake, so lots of the core and huge changes are always being done.

• 34 new bug fixes/features
• Character select screen
• Populated a lot more varps

2009scape.org - 2009 Remake

With developers from 2004scape and OpenRSC, as well as dozens of contributors, 2009scape has an active playerbase and tons of content.

• Huge release coming up next weekend, details will be in next month's recap
• HD Support for mobile has started development, you can read the developer's blog here

2004scape.org - 2004 Remake

2004scape breaks records in RS reverse engineering. It's the first with a real 2004 cache, has the most advanced RuneScript, and a webclient. It is the only one on this list that does not yet have a playable live server.

• Lots of Quests being coded
• 190 new bug fixes/features
• As an example of their authenticity, see Mod Ashes comment and 2004scape's implementation

OpenRSC - 2003 & 2001 Remake

OpenRSC is fully complete. It supports mobile, web, botting, and always has 20+ online their bot-free worlds.

• API changes for better website/2009scape integration
• IdleRSC, a popular bot client, has migrated to a new maintainer on Github, and seen various improvements

See last month's progress report: https://lemmy.ml/post/1957467

Cows be getting a casual 733% hp buff! On a more serious note: Combat experience rework to be closer to OSRS style at 50xp per 1000hp. Necromancy combat looks to be quite differently set up than the current ones to enable a more rewarding non-revolution combat play style.

Hype train arriving soon!

DXP starting on Friday and 10 minute logout timers for Jagex account users.

2004scape is an open source remake that uses the original Runescript that Jagex created! It also runs in the browser, as originally intended.

From the lead developer Pazaz:

okay- 2004scape can now open doors lol! I just added the first version of a proper zone system earlier so we can use loc_add, loc_del, obj_add, and obj_del from scripts. Updated our mining script to handle respawning rocks first, and added some door triggers in the major cities.

Content is full steam ahead, WIP, so check in again soon 🙂 I have NPC hunt modes and NPC modes to implement still, and their random walk + moverestrict + blockwalk flags sever side pf / collision is done using a ported version of rsmod2's pathfinder

Obviously it's very far from playable, but still super dope to see. 2004scape's Discord shows their progress: https://discord.gg/hN3tHUmZEN

June 19th Jagex will add the Woodcutters' Grove to Fort Forinthry. With this update, they will also rebalance the woodcutting skill and even add the new Imcando Hatchet. This will make cutting logs from slow trees like magic trees a lot faster and more in line with the current state of the game.

With the update of last Monday, they increased the area loot on desktop to be the same as on mobile. Now we can finally just pickup most of our drops without moving while doing slayer. (if you need even more range, you can even use the Lorehound to extend this range by 2 tiles)
