We are currently in closed beta, you may message me on our discord to see if we have space for you to test.
I am hoping for launching officially, or having an official beta test by: 30/06/2025
You should also try setting NODE_CLIENT_ROUTEFINDER=false in your environment. This will enable the full features of pathfinding on the server, and makes it much more smoother and smarter. Like how it works on OSRS today.
It is non-authentic to 2004 to set it false. 2004 should use true.
RuneScape originally relied on the players’ client to perform the pathfinding for you when clicking/interacting with things in the game. It was changed in 2009 on this update Update:Route-finding Update - The RuneScape Wiki. Which means when OSRS came out in 2013 it was using the client pathfinder too. And OSRS changed it soon after release: Update:Christmas Holiday Event - OSRS Wiki.
They essentially move the calculations the client was doing, over onto the server. This drastically improved the feel of the game, such as no longer walking/running backwards, or dancing around with npcs/players in combat.
I don’t think this is as outrageous as you make it out to be. In current RS, people just automate their way through clues with RuneLite. It’s a rather brainless effort and seeing how this fork bases itself around QoL, it is simply just cutting time.
I think this fork will satisfy many players who don’t want to pour as much of their time into building account(s), in addition to offering MANY options from OSRS that people have wanted (zoom, shift drop, logout time extended, iron modes).
Oh I missed the description for that before; that’s cool!
I’m not a fan of clue scrolls or TT and don’t bother with em; I have to look at a website to not be sitting around for hours trying to decipher stuff I’d use click to casket
Steel gauntlets and bank chest in Lumbridge basement unlocked after Cooks Assistant
@ total lvl: unlock ability to purchase:
@ 200 - black gloves
@ 350 - mithril gloves
@ 500 - adamant gloves
@ 750 - rune gloves
@ 1,100 - dragon gloves
@ 1,300 - barrows gloves
Also added wilderness altar ability to sacrifice bones for 3x experience (also does the whole inv like other skills) (and has chance to save bones)
Added regular altar ability to sacrifice bones for 2x experience
Added ability to pray flick without delaying combat, and change attack styles.
Plenty of bug fixes.
Oh and Zack is having a drop party at 25 online - we’re soo close!
Huge respect for this! Liking the changes, sounds like it’d be a considerably more comfortable playing experience than the barebones vanilla jank of 2004
Wishing this project and its devs + players the best!
I’d use click to casket
