@hikariknight are you also the runescape player of same name?
@hikariknight are you also the runescape player of same name?
Hyes
H
TNice to meet you at last haha.
Hi assume youre the dev of discover-overlay, nice to meet you too finally 
T
Hah
Hi think i stumbled upon runewin once but never used it 
TIt was a hot mess, not going to lie
TIt aged badly
Hmy perl based launcher still works as long as you fix a few urls (wont run the game though since the java version is dead but everything else works)
Hthat thing was a hot mess too but it was a very functional hot mess since i wanted something super portable
Hidk if you ever looked at the source 
TI've been out of the scene a long time, but recognised your name. Most of my time Makoto was doing linux support
AUsing perl for stuff is a total chad move
Hi actually made a PAR executable for windows and it would just eval load all the dependencies until it managed to launch, and that was my "framework" for the cross platform launcher
bad design but i wanted something cross platform i could just slap onto a usb and port the game around with

Hand i had learned a lot of perl from my boss back when i was a trainee so i figured why not
Hi still jump into the forums once in a while whenever someone pokes me to go update or change something in the new thread
Hi mean at least i made it look nice-ish
TBetter than I managed for sure!
Hrunning the game on linux was a hot mess, same on macos
Hhad to do a lot of random java arguments to fix lots of weird stuff and i wanted to be as verbose in the output as possible so other people could learn from it
Hmost of the people that contributed to my project now manage the flatpak funny enough, so i like to think it has helped in some way for them to start working on that
Hi know a lot of my friends on macos actually used my client over the official one because mine would just perform way better
TThat's some impressive work there. I've unfortunately had to use Mac for work and I swear it is designed to be as unhelpful for power users as possible
Hi know my client checked which java version you had (sun/oracle/openjdk) and applied fixes for getting opengl working depending on which version
sun java6 no fixes needed, oracle java6 no fixes needed, java7 and newer you had to spoonfeed java the location of its own opengl library
sun java6 no fixes needed, oracle java6 no fixes needed, java7 and newer you had to spoonfeed java the location of its own opengl library
Hit would also check if it was 32bit or 64bit java you used and apply appropriate parameters for memory management and garbage collection and then also activate the experimental parallel garbage collection which would speed up loading dramatically
Halso it would stop a lot of the freezes when you loaded new map chunks or dungeoneering rooms
TProbably the best part about the NXT client - no java garbage collection.
Htrue
Hi still talk every now and then with the tech support team, they actually went so far to just recommend my client whenever someone had a linux issue
Hand i know mod dibs got the game running on a raspberry pi using my client while i got it running on a nintendo wii (would crash once you logged in but hey IT LAUNCHED!)
Hoh and i also ran it directly on an android device before they announced RS mobile
TThat counts
I didn't know either had been managed, that's very cool

Hfun times
Hdid you know that my client also was featured on the homepage for a while before the NXT redesign of the website? 
TI didn't! must've been one of my long quits
TI get about 2 weeks of runescape in every 5 years or so
Hlet me see if wayback machine is to the rescue

Hi did resign as fmod (and had to fight to get my pmod removed) when i quit and didnt agree with the direction jagex was taking
Hnow i login maybe once every 2 years
Hit was fun reading people getting the game launching on weird random systems with my client
Hi remember someone messaging me ingame once saying they got it running on a solaris machine in a datacenter just out of curiosity and sent me a picture of it on skype
Hand only because i made the code as agnostic as possible
Hwould have developed the client way more if i was not moving every darn year in that period
Hliterally been like that until this year actually
Hso i am happy i will be able to get some more time to work on passion projects
Hcurrently these are my projects

Hmy current goal when work calms down is to try make gpu passthrough way easier/faster to set up (as long as it is not single gpu)
