SRL Archive - RS has been updated.

Recent additions to the RuneScape engine have allowed us to make some improvements to the game’s animations.

As you can see by the heading, this release is called Animation Pack 1, as this will be an ongoing project. These improvements will take time, however, so we have grouped the animations that we're improving into packs, so we can release them as we complete them, rather than keeping you waiting.

This pack focuses on some of the most popular melee weapons and their animations (abyssal whip, the godswords, Zamorakian spear, Saradomin sword, Dharok’s axe, and dragon and rune longswords and scimitars), tweening (animation smoothing), and updates to the Agility animations.

We hope you enjoy these updates as much as we've enjoyed creating them; make sure to keep an eye out for future animation updates.

For a more in-depth look at these improvements, check out this recent dev blog. It takes you through the process in more detail.

Does this mean the reflection Animations are going to show up different, or be moved to differnent fields?

idk, but i don't like how any of the new weapons look. whip = worm. ss is alright, but it used to be cooler. d scim = too short.

that's all i've seen so far, but i don't like 'em. i'm mad, but at least i got my ss yesterday before update so i could see myself with it.

Well the script I am trying to use now isnt working, trys to update hooks but there isnt any new ones.
Surely this doesnt effect scripts if its just the animation?

It will effect Reflection scripts.

=/ Yeah. Zasz's Alpha Fighter is not working anymore for me. Just hangs on login, no errors, just sits there.

its sayin "ensure the target page has an applet decleration"

I've had trouble getting 2 SMART windows working, used to have 1 on laptop and another on desktop. Kept getting "Connection Lost" on both. Turned one off and left it and seems like just running one is working ok at the moment.

I've had this before and no idea if this is a fix or, even if it has anything to do with it, but try loading up a web browser and then running the script / smart. That has worked in the past for me.

The scimmy blade used to be enormous. It never made much sense that one of the largest looking weapons was also one of the fastest.

I haven't seen enough of the new scim to decide whether I like it or not, so I'll reserve judgment for now.

I like the new rune scimmy. I can't realy see other changes as I am f2p. But I like how it's shining. But I don't like the new animation. It's like the character is 90 years old and think it three time what to do next.

I'm sure a lot of people will complain on RS Forums, and some of the weapons will be changed again. :p

You have to wait for whoever updates the hooks to update them, it can sometimes take a day or two after an update, just be patient. :D

Agreed, except all the dragon weapons are a little bigger than the normal metal ones. It just makes them look better and more desirable in my opinion.

I haven't actually seen the new animations (other than from the update page), but they seem to be much more smooth and appealing to the eye. A lot better than just standing there moving their arm.

its fine, i left my pc for a while and it works now ? lol, wierd

Yeh, after pking for a night with the new animations..
I have likes and dislikes..
Everything but the scimmy attacks look really nice..
The whip now sways when your character holds..
Looks MEGA sexy

However, fighting with the scim, looks like hes actually trying to punch, but just failing miserably.
He doesnt strike with the scim..
Its.. Pretty odd looking :\\\

I think bows should be next, followed by spells :)

Yeah the graphics of the game a slower getting better, in my opinion. :) And anything that people don't like, I'm sure Jagex will modify.

i agree they need to update spell looks when they are casted. right now, i have to say that the dragon scim would've looked better with the a longer blade.

Well the animations are an improvement. However I'm not to fancy of the graphics update on the weapons, especially the whip, because it looks like a tape worm, that's bleeding.

Not a big fan of the new animations. Holding a d scim look's weird :x

I'm liking the sparks that fly off the anvils for smithing now…

The animations won't change their values.

or be moved to differnent fields?

Animations are moved to different fields each revision. Hence the creation of the "updater".
