SRL Archive - RS has been updated.

My bot's log out alarm woke me up at 5 AM because of this shit…so might as well.

I've highlighted the important parts in RED

oday’s update sees a rework to the very earliest portions of the game, plus a new feature called the objective system, which can be accessed via the new tab on the side interface (the signpost icon left of the Friends List).

Objective system
The objective system allows you to set yourself an objective to work towards, be that a specific skill level or the completion of a certain quest. This can either be randomly generated or something of your own choosing. The system will then track how you are doing in meeting that objective.

It was initially developed with new players in mind, as it will give those who are boggled by the vast array of things to do in RuneScape something to focus upon, and provide some direction as to the sorts of things they could be aiming for. We have, however, designed it in such a way that we hope more experienced players will find of use, and that they too will enjoy setting themselves goals and tracking their progress towards them.

New tutorial and Advisor system
The previous tutorial and the Lumbridge tutors were not giving the best first impression of RuneScape to new players, nor were they the most effective way of teaching new players how to play the game. Much of the information they gave was not of interest to players until later on in the game, and came across as too wordy and boring. We’ve found that most players prefer to get stuck into the game and figure things out by actually playing.

As such, a lot of this information has been moved out of the tutorial, and the tutorial has been replaced with a slightly shorter introduction to the game, which focuses on the basic controls. Much of the information that was taught in the previous tutorial can now be accessed as mini tutorials, as and when players want to learn, through the new advisor system.

The advisor is a helpful old fellow by the name of Roddeck, who can be found by clicking on the new “question mark” button (next to the logout button). The advisor system works dynamically depending on where you are and what you are doing at the time. You can either do a mini tutorial (a much more interactive way of learning things) or “Ask Roddeck for advice” (if you just want a quick answer).

The advisor system currently only covers basic activities, but we are planning to flesh it out to cover more skills and activities.

Starting area
We’ve defined an area of the game as the starting area, in which you can access the new tutorials, as well as making it a safer area for new players. There are guards and gates placed at the various entrances to the starting area, so new players can tell where the borders are. The area is quite big, covering Lumbridge, Varrock and Draynor.

The gates have been designed so as not to slow down more experienced players (i.e. everyone with a total level of 60 or more). Simply click on the other side of the gate in the game window (or on the minimap) and you will automatically walk through, without any more clicks than normal. Players with a total level below 60 will need to confirm that they really do wish to leave the starting area.

Other changes
We’ve made various other changes due to the above:

As these mini tutorials are more interactive, they’ve rendered obsolete some previous features we had in Lumbridge for helping new players. These features had built up over the years and were making Lumbridge feel rather cluttered, so you’ll find that most of the Lumbridge tutors and the Lumbridge money making features have been removed from the game. The items which you could previously get for free from the tutors are now available as free samples from certain shops.
The Air Altar’s location has moved to southwest of Varrock, next to the River Lum. It’s the same distance from Varrock’s west bank as it used to be from Falador’s east bank.
We’ve added a new fishing shop to Lumbridge.
A new tanner has set up shop in southwest Varrock.
A new pottery has been opened in Draynor Village.
A new bridge has been built over the River Lum (near the Champions’ Guild).
Small changes have been made to some easy and beginner Achievement Diary tasks. Also, the “Craft 196 air runes simultaneously” task in the Falador Achievement Diary has changed to “Craft 140 mind runes simultaneously”.
Woodcutting skillcapes can now be bought from Wilfred, who can be found among the trees north of Falador.
Goblins and giant spiders now have slightly improved drop tables.

We've added a caret (aka text cursor) to the chat box to allow you to move within any text you type to correct typos or insert extra words. To move the caret through your text either hold down 'Shift' and use the arrow keys, or simply click where you'd like the caret to be. This should save considerable time when correcting typos!

As promised in the RuneScape Content Live Q&A, we've increased the POH room limit from 30 up to 32. These two extra rooms become available at Construction levels 38 and 44 respectively.

The dragon pickaxe has been added to the list of items you can CoinShare via the LootShare system.

We've removed more delays (e.g. when drinking potions and running).

We've increased the shop stock of bone bolts.

Bounty Hunter worlds have been changed slightly to allow players to access the Grand Exchange area of the map for all your combat needs.

Wow gay…
They've changed the main intro theme AGAIN!
So we have "Scape Original", the original theme for RS2, this was changed in 2007
And we have the "Scape Main" which is the SECOND (After Scape original), this was removed today.
Now we have the new one "Scape Theme" which is the one we got today.

I am a music person, and one of the reason I still play rs (If you can call it "play") is because that the music brings back good old memories.. Jagex:=Fail;


*Warning, Expect LOTS OF UPDATES*

Game worlds moving/offline…

Just to inform you over the next few days some worlds will be moving to some newer hosting facilities.

There'll be a period this afternoon where some worlds are moving. At the weekend a few more will be offline whilst the actual move takes place. You will recieve the "system update in 10 minutes" warning beforehand.

We have tried to minimise disruption to various worlds (themed or otherwise) so that all game features are still available.

Thanks for your patience,

Mod Nexus.

Lots of bugs too



Bounty Hunter GE

Yes

EC's L.A.M.E. is now broke because you cant get free runes and arrows from tutors anymore… Also MMLevels have moved slightly so they are all broken… (HpPercent and Energy and stuff) Log out is probably broke (haven't tried, but the lil "X" has moved it looks like…) There's probably more but i found all these out when I logged in this morning.

Also, whats wrong with UpText?

How much is lots? Methinks it might be time to introduce auto updating item identification.

My D axe is changed, and I can also notice some changes of the stuff in my bank.

LOL YOU SET AN ALARM FOR YOUR BOT TO WAKE YOU UP?? That is stupid lol, just fix the bot when you wake up. Much more logical. It's not good to auto 24/7 if that's what your doing

1) Yes, he did. You can read.

2) It's clever actually. You can sort it out as soon as it's in trouble = less chance of ban.

3) Not much more logical.

4) His choice.

5) On topic.

My acc auto at night, sleeps at day, and when shit happens, I can fix ASAP ^^.
I use three scars simutaniously, One is to fix the main scar's (exception error) which happens very frequently because of the update, the other is to alert me when my bot goes off, and then a main one which do the botting ;).

How does one fix the exception error?

Close that tab and restart the script :D

Close that tab and restart the script :D

Nice, mind sending me?
and your alarm :D

Rep+ ;)

T~M

wow. i didnt even notice all them updates xD….and my scripts are still working great… Cursor detection ftw :D

For the "Fix Exception".
I drag one scar's client over to the main scar, and I picked a color (of a string in the page, which is pink). If that color is gone (means an exception error has popped up, and the .scar of the exception will be opened), the script will click the close tab button, (which will close the exception scar, and returns to my the actural script I am using) then click the run button..

For the "Login alarm".
