SRL Archive - RS has been updated.

From behind the scenes:

At the end of the month, there will be a break of a couple of weeks with no game updates. These two weeks are hugely important to us, as they allow us to prepare for the major graphical improvement in early July.
Early July is the first one or two weeks for me, means we gotta wait for only a month now?

As you know, we currently offer 'High Detail' and 'Low Detail' modes. We plan on adding a new and optional detail mode, bringing you accelerated higher quality graphics. This will be in addition to the existing detail modes, as they will remain unchanged.

so…

lmao striker… :)

anyways, im really excited to… but can jagex make any of the objects' edges crisp?

Haha, you realize how much computational work that takes?

Remember, this is java we're talking about…

What they've managed to do so far is pretty amazing; excited to see what's soon-to-be and further into the future.

So, there you have it. We'll still have low detail to macro in ^.^

Also, in the development diary they have written:

As textures can have large file sizes, they would take too long to download. Mod Nick explains the process: “The Graphics team create textures in an editor, which then converts it into a series of instructions at a fraction of the file size. Instead of the game downloading a texture, it's recreated on the player's computer from that series of instructions, as and when it's needed. This is called procedural texturing.”

That to me sounds a bit like a Bitmap in SCAR :p

Not really, SCAR bitmaps are more like a propriety format whereas what I think jagex are planning to do is put the instructions on how to create that format in the client rather than the image itself
