So you never planned it to be tough enough to force 100% grouping or you admit that you can not make hard enough content to disable chance of soloing?

Since ironmen are a thing, this is big question on everyones' mind.

We never wanted to force grouping with this one.

As developpers how do you feel when someone takes something you built and finds an alternative way of defeating the content?

Hyped

Although it says that it can't be appealed on the offences page, the ban actually can be appealed through this page https://support.runescape.com/hc/en-gb/articles/115002238729-Account-Bans

I believe that there's a request in with the web team to get the offences page updated to be more clear about this.

Just because something is designed for a certain target audience, it doesn't mean nobody outside of that target audience can complete the content. In this case, it means we expect to see way more groups than solo players playing the content.

(Still appreciate the joke, nice 1)

Turns out our map editor has the function to export height data, so I suppose you're in luck!

This also made me realise how small Gielinor really is as each pixel represents a game tile that is roughly 1 meter. Therefor the width of the entire map is only 2,752 meters. It's also very messy due to how the maps are assembled out of blocks. You can see the seams between map files quite a bit in some areas but a little bit of blurring should solve that.

Hope this helps!

The poll blog you are referring to with the changelist has a line directly under that changelist in bold that reads "The Siren's Tome will not be released with The Nightmare. You can read more about that here."

I don't doubt people will be able to solo it, it's just designed for groups.

Meta question, but can we know whose going to be on the couch in these threads?
It would be neat if we could tailor questions to the people whose working on the content we got questions about.

Very meta. Unfortunately, it's not clear who will be on the sofa at the time we put these threads up. Anyone in the team's schedule can suddenly change making them either available or not.

So if this project...

β€’ doesn't mess with bot detection systems

β€’ doesn't have a trash and unstable code, nor Jagex copyrighted code

β€’ prove to be stable and have a good performance on modern and old PCs (Runelite GPU plugin perform very well and this HD project is being built on top of it)

β€’ be totally free and open source

Could it use the original HD textures?

I don't see why not.

I flippin love threads like this, like you sometimes lose that feeling of how many people out there are playing this game, as a dev team when you're just stuck in the office each day, bumps of motivation along the way! <3

Post

I really don't think there is anything to worry about. OSHD used copyrighted content to develop off of. The runelite plugin has been confirmed to use no assets.

The biggest problem with most OSHD clients was the technology behind it, not the assets. Hell, if it had worked we would have used it. Sadly the OSHD code was not up to scratch for a commercial company and making it so would have meant opening hooks into the code which could've been exploited by bots.

I think the OSHD client mentioned below tripped a whole lot of bot detection systems so would not have been workable either.

This may well be different, will be good to see where it goes.

I just wish more things were locked behind series of quests that make sense lore wise. Corp beast is the biggest offender here, but there’s so many other things that would benefit from having been released along side a new quest requirement or several. New OSRS quests are almost exclusively two minute beginner level quests or master level quests that basically just serve as osrs advertisement and to occasionally lock high or end game content behind them. A taste of hope is an example of the good type of quests release that should make up the majority of new quests, not just a single instance.

I know what you mean but unfortunately quests of that size and level are quite expensive to make and tend to take a long time to design and develop from scratch so it's something we have to have the right balance on. However I can assure to you that we care about quests like we care about many other areas of the game, we just can't keep making the same type of content all the time.
