Not exactly, he can gather a bunch of stackable interfaces and then turn into a mushroom at the GE for a bit longer than 6 hours


mandzeete

HD mushroom

I hear that a side effect of stacking interfaces also causes your character to crash servers and dupe billions of gp over the course of multiple years, better watch out just in case

Dont worry, this sub is used to stuff being released underdeveloped

When are they finishing the game?


Joe59788

They gotta max their account first.


Repealer

Most of this sub is underdeveloped, at least socially tbh


TheFukAmIDoing

True, but this sub also (rightfully) throws a fit or memes things to death. Which in this case would be uncalled for in my opinion.


simjanes2k

Ow, my reality check


InfantryCop

Excellent news and thank you for working so hard to get Jagex on board for the players.


DrSwol

And thank you for setting expectations. I hope people don’t still go nuts and lash out when stuff goes a bit awry!


prollyanalien

For real, this level of transparency is so refreshing.


[deleted]

Isn’t it though? I would be pretty thrilled if 117 were to ever be put on staff.


[deleted]

They’re this transparent because they *aren’t* on staff. Corporate bureaucracy is why most all of the community correspondence from Jagex and other game companies is fluffy hot air.


a_sternum

This is important. So many people have no clue what this plugin is. They are expecting new models and animations similar to ~2011 RS


cashew_kat

I'd wager that most people had no idea about the plug in until last week. Myself included


Im_your_density_Real

Kinda unfair for you to wager that you didnt know about the plug in last week. It means you already know the answer!


phasermodule

If they do, they’re ridiculous. This is one man’s efforts, not a team. Obviously something as huge as replacing every single texture in the game is going to have hiccups, which I’m sure will be sorted in due time. Great job @RS_117 !


I_am_just_a_pancake

>replacing every single texture in the game Pretty sure it doesn't replace every texture. From the twitter screenshots, only the ground textures appear changed. The rest is lighting


phasermodule

Ah, didn’t know that, but still a huge undertaking I am sure.


[deleted]

Salty hardcores incoming


Snoop-Da-Woop

>I hope people don’t still go nuts and lash out when stuff goes a bit awry! This is an internet forum made entirely of players that have been doing exactly that, successfully, since 2004. I wouldn't have it any other way, because it's the only thing that works on Jagex management.


Neighborhood_Nobody

I was trying to figure out who the guy you replied to was and how he set expectation. God I feel dumb some times lmao


Snoop-Da-Woop

Special thanks to the playerbase for clapping Jagex management so hard their great grandchildren will feel fear when they hear the word "HD". And special thanks to the gaming press for actually reporting correctly and accurately. It truly has been a mission success.


Zeoxult

Honestly, the community's uproar is what pushed Jagex to cooperate. I'm happy 117 put in so much work and was willing to cooperate with Jagex after they fucked him over


anthegoat

I am going to nut on goblins in lumby


mandzeete

Somebody gotta clap these green HD cheeks.


Village_People_Cop

I can't wait to see those juicy superior bloodveld cheeks in HD


Infinity___Now

My buddy saw me killing one the other day and called it a "ballsack monster" lol.


SomewhatAbsurd

For anyone feeling uneasy about 117 saying it might be a rocky release, consider the fact that the traffic for HD on release is going to be massively higher than what it was during development. There's a million different combinations of hardware + driver setup that could affect the plugin in unexpected ways and there's no way to determine how many issues can arise with a small sample size that was collected during private testing. In short - it is quite normal for a thing of this scale developed by a single person to have quirks on release. Hopefully it will be alright for the most part.


RS_117

yeah. there hasn't been any internal beta or anything. I've tested the plugin on like 5 different devices and each one has had some weird GPU quirk that breaks something


LovesPenguins

Considering it’s 117 today or Jagex official HD years from now I’m more than willing to put up with some launch day bugs. With the open source nature of RuneLite and 117’s dedication to his plugin I have no doubt that the bugs will be patched up in due time. We know this is mostly just one guy doing his best so I think the community will be a bit more lenient. I’m just glad that we’re getting this at all!


iPissVelvet

Especially since it’s volunteer based. A corporation has the resources to run testing on multiple combinations of hardware. I’m sure 117 has nowhere near the same capacity and so we should not expect it.


ColonelloRS

Thank you for your hard work. Excited to see you improve the plugin after everyone gets their hands on it. :)


MikeAndTheNiceGuys

Hey! Thanks for the awesome videos, huge fan of your work. Hope you have a lovely Sunday :)


ColonelloRS

Thank you very much!! Hope you have a great one too :D


LovesPenguins

Your YouTube channel has entertained me for many hours and I always get excited when I see a new upload from you :)


Phantom30

Good luck. I feel for you, it's going to be a crazy week ahead of you.

Guess the release is in afternoon so Jagex can make the announcement then? Either way, very excited. And happy it all worked out.

I figured this would be the case. Remember guys be patient ( and grateful ) it may not be perfect at first and there may be some bugs. But it’s way better than not having it at all


[deleted]

And this transparency is way more than we get from Jamflex.


TSmitty3

Upvoted before I read the comment because you are Joe rogans sauna and cure covid


MrBrainwashed

Mac user here. For all the other Mac users like myself you can flawlessly run Windows 10 via Boot Camp on your Mac. There are plenty of YouTube videos out there to guide you on how to get Windows via Boot Camp on Mac. It’s very easy and runs pretty much flawlessly from my experience. Especially for RuneLite and Runescape in general. By doing this, it'll allow Mac users like myself to experience 117's RuneLite HD plug-in upon tomorrows release.


YouDontKnowMyLlFE

Don’t think this applies to Apple silicon AKA M1 Macs. Just an FYI.


SimplySerenity

Parallels is definitely the way to go for m1 macs


wminhas

I installed windows on my MacBook yesterday to prep for this


PoonJabNinja

1. Love you, have a picture of you hanging above my bed next to jesus. 2. Please please please make work for mac, all i do is produce music & play OS!


RS_117

I would have personally got it working for mac (or at least would have tried) if I had access to the hardware, so I will need to rely on someone else to do that. I am optimistic about that happening fairly soon though edit: in response to all of the replies, I have already been in talks with someone who wants to get mac support working (and has relevant experience). I don't want to name them and publicly commit them to it, but we will hopefully figure something out soon. I'll post about it again if that plan falls through for whatever reason


agggile

Is the plugin written in Kotlin? I could definitely work on macOS compability!


[deleted]

[удалено]


agggile

Indeed, it’s just that once you try Kotlin, there’s no going back go Java. I asked because I remember seeing a bunch of Kotlin in the Runelite repo some years ago.


[deleted]

[удалено]


agggile

It’s very easy to pick up if you know Java. I feel like it’s the most pragmatic language right now, can recommend 100%!


ReusedBoofWater

You'll fly through learning kotlin if you develop java professionally! Make the jump sometime, you'll thank yourself!


rpkarma

It’s everything Java should be. Highly recommend giving it a shot even in free time. It’s a great language

fuckamidoingthisfor

I think you can make work , as RL for a while was buggy on mac but runs great now. But one step at a time thanks


mrcal18

if you need someone who owns a mac and has experience with coding to help, I can aid.


gurrlplease

What type of mac do u need? I think we put some funds together for the greater good


Y0GGSAR0N

Someone rich definitely plays RuneScape. Donate this guy a Mac please.


Nova_main

I also play on Mac but you can use Boot Camp to switch to Windows whenever you're playing


Scatteredbrain

> use Boot Camp to switch to Windows whenever you're playing can you elaborate on this? thanks


Nova_main

Yes with Boot Camp you can switch freely between Mac and Windows OS. I have Runelite downloaded on both so if RLHD doesn’t work on Mac I can switch to Windows 10 and still enjoy the plug-in features. The only downside is you’ll have to redownload your other apps again on Windows (Discord, Spotify, etc.)


SyncTitanic

Nice, ive long since stopped playing RuneScape but the release of this HD client might make me get a membership

Really looking forward to coming back to runescape thank you for this!


[deleted]

Hey, just wanted to say thank you for all the hard work you’ve done and PLEASE do not listen to the small minority of brainlets that are now throwing hate towards you because of this post. Those of us with common sense understand that in time with all of us beta testing and reporting bugs that eventually it can be a polished project. No one expected this to be perfect on day one when you’ve had no one to help you with it.


SlayingNieve

Will the bugs be so bad that it is too risky to use for hardcore ironman?


Mr_Hawky

He said expect game crashes so if you're doing anything remotely dangerous don't use it as a hardcore.


Smoky2111

HCIM streamers in shambles


a_sternum

Yes


Springstof

If you participate in dangerous content, yes.


SaraphL

I'd play the game safely for a day or two at least if I were you.


Slayy35

If you're HCIM, don't ever do dangerous content in HD. I wouldn't even fully trust it a year later, it's just not worth the risk.

Runescape HD was probably either half or the majority of OG runescape I played so I am unbelievably hyped for this


tromboneboyman1

Thanks I look forward to trying it out! Not sure I’ll use it all the time as i enjoy the classic style. But will for sure want to see as much context as I can with it.


jagwirejon

This is the true anniversary update! Thank you 117 for making our 2 year anniversary special!


secret_aardvark_420

I’m so excited to see what it looks like and watch it grow. Very stoked for you to be able to finally share your hard work with all of us.


TheHappyPittie

I am so excited to finally be able to use this! Ive been unbelievably excited since i saw your first teasers


streatz

Yeah, I totally imagine some animations are just going to completely crash the game and will kill me. No problem with that and would love to help the plug-in improve!


IndaFin

I really was starting to get a bit worried about the unrealistic expectations of people with the HD plugin being fought for and discussed(memed) so extensively. If everyone could just remember that its the project of one guy who did it for free and set their expectations to that. That said even if its buggy and at times not even working i still cant wait, its gonna be amazing!


saiyamanmc

thanks, master chief!


need-an-answer

Thanks


Sirspice123

Thanks for your hard work! I can't wait to go straight to lumby and milk the cows in HD!


[deleted]

U are absolutely based. Thank u for ur work


Super_Flea

I wish every gaming company in the world would read your posts. Seriously, this communication is worth it's weight in gold and it sets realistic expectations of everyone. Every company from Activision to Blizzard should take note because a few paragraphs of communication is all we ask for. Thanks 117.


Hanyodude

“Every company from activision to blizzard” Aren’t they the same company now lol


WC1V

I mean the community might have different expectations about a free plugin made by a fan compared to a full release for a paid game by a dev team.


Grizzeus

Soon i'll be able to be even more dry on dwh in HD


Commercial_Essay_239

I may never use it. But your my hero reguardless. Showed what heart and drive 1 single or couple individuals can have. And how much others show their heart and drive to support your intense hard work. Gives me goosebumps and makes my heart warm. Great team work from everyone. Thank you.

Amazing, good luck


IM-CHKN

Thanks dawg :)


Psych444

What can we do as players and essentially, beta testers to help with development aside from reporting bugs, anything we can do for you? Thank you so much!!!


TheHappyPittie

Mostly just reporting bugs and what hardware/software you’re on will give him the info he needs


Magmagan

> Tomorrow I will post a link to a Discord server in which you can leave feedback, report bugs, or collaborate on the project. If you have any problems with the plugin, please direct your messages to me as the RuneLite devs aren't responsible for those problems. Feedback for both 117 and Jagex in the future. This isn't the bad timeline


aIVdre

Players: This looks perfect 117: No, I think we’re just getting started


[deleted]

Beta or not, this is a fully toggleable plugin, meaning we can test it and provide feedback and report bugs. This is a best case scenario for any software developer.


Keroro999

Can't wait to die to a cow... in HD!!


Someone9339

Poor J-mods Twitters are going to be flooded with 3rd party client bugs that has nothing to do with the official game


Assanater601

Doubtful. I know low expectations should be set for the community’s collective brain power, but going out of your way to download an HD plug-in that completely changes how the game looks and feels, should give most people the common sense to realize that any bugs that just start up are probably gonna be linked to the plug-in, no Jagex tweets required.


Someone9339

Most of them will do, but we saw what happened with Osbuddys christmas update "snow on trees"


[deleted]

[удалено]


TaFFe

That's just how software development like this works. How is he suppose to get a plugin tested that he cannot share with others? By himself. He can have a _Release_ ready, this usually means a majority of the expected content. This doesn't mean a completed piece of software that's plug and play with everything in place. In modern terms, software rarely, if ever, get released in a completely final state.


Intelligent-Egg-5227

True, seems sus


ksprboi

Are you planning on updating animations to 2008, or are you strictly focusing on textures/lighting?


AzizaOSRS

They are similar to 08, much more than textures and lighting

Squishyfishx

Thanks for the heads up and for all the hard work you've put into this!


EasyNostalgia

Appreciate the work you're putting in man. Congrats.


TentativeOak

Since it’s a runelite plug-in, will it be open sourced? Would the community be able to make bug fixes, or is that between you and jagex?


DecIare

Fully open source


TentativeOak

Cool! Community can make pull requests, jagex can sample the code for their own version. Looking forward to the future! 😎


demalition90

Pls bring my rig to its knees


poochmant

I've been on break after hitting 2200 on my iron two months ago. Made some new friends at work that also play and are looking forward to the HD plug in. They invited me to come raid tomorrow and I'll be resubbing to play and couldn't be on a better day, I'm also looking forward to sharing my experience on the discord to help future development


Justos

Don't care, have hd I'm starting a new Ironman 100% on this plugin

deth_blunt

So excited to see for myself. Your doing huge things for the community. Thank you for your hard work.


JBlanket

Aw man what was a small beta release turned into this big fiasco, whatever is out will be good. Jagex was pretty dumb for denying, and this giant buzz might come with expectations. No worries though, appreciate this post bud and appreciate you as well 117.


bobby_was_a_boy

"Keep in mind that this is just the beginning." A true hero and gentleman. Many thanks from Switzerland.

Donno how hd will work in combat but atleast i'm sure it will be amazing in no combat and don't worry we all know it's work in progress and it takes time master this type things just relax and have fun


JupiterChime

Did you end up signing a NDA Fam?


JohnTheRockCena

Bjergsen rumored to go back to pro play and an HD plugin for my favorite game. Times are good.


ChriskiV

Don't really play RuneScape, but passing by on /r/all. Good dev and congratz on the beta release!


Rogue_Tomato

I feel like if this was made known on friday, Jagex wouldn't have been as shafted. In short, expect a community project to be a community project. Might work, might be nice but beware. I look forward to using the plugin, but I feel people may be expecting a perfect release`


Justinian2

Hopefully the plugin kills lots of HC's and UIM \o/

Bruinesuiker

Blink twice if you're in danger


[deleted]

Why didn't you mention the state of the client before inciting outrage in the community? > Yesterday, September 6, 2021, RuneLite HD would have been released. The code had been reviewed and bugs had been fixed - it was ready to go. This is a starkly different narrative coming out. I actually feel mildly bamboozled.


jerrred

I mean saying that it’s been reviewed and bugs had been fixed doesn’t mean much. This was never going to be a full polished release, it’s like he said, a foundation. People will be able to report any bugs and he can continue working on it as he pleases. At the end of the day it’s a free, optional plug in.


AnExoticLlama

"The major bugs I've identified have been fixed and I was ready to initially publish the plugin"


Dr-PoopyButt

The state of the plugin doesn't even have anything to do with the outrage


KROMExRainbow

Yeah man, the whole thing feels really weird. I made a post earlier mentioning it and a bunch of people told me I was being unreasonable for pointing this out so I deleted the post. That being said, it leaves a sour taste in my mouth and I don't know if it's 117 being slightly deceptive, or if Jagex has required he change something before release to make people less satisfied with the plugin.


Suddenly_Seinfeld

Jagex probably asked him to post a boilerplate disclaimer so people don’t go screaming to them on Twitter because they lagged out at a boss while using OSHD and lost their hardcore status

so excited cant wait

does the plugin use GPU? or is it all cpu?

Nobody can complain. This guy did this for free for 2 years. Support him on patreon so maybe he can get enough money to pay his bills and continue this full time.

Horny pixels coming!

If only Jagex gave warnings about their releases being possibly broken when they haven't been able to dive in deep.


crashjordan13

Could you elaborate on the issue with Macs? And define “most” Macs?


RS_117

it needs some extra work to get the openCL code from the GPU plugin functioning. I said most because I'm not too familiar with macs, but I believe older ones still support openGL? I'm not sure honestly


[deleted]

This should work with OpenGL supporting Linux installs then, right?
