Brid Queen Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 I think we should switch to the actual oldschool revisions & there's a lot of reasons why we should. The game would run A LOT smoother even for bad computers It would be easier to add new genuine content from Oldschool Runescape Quote Link to comment

The current revision is completely different and a change for this could be ideal Quote Link to comment

Genuine data is always best to use, it's been worked by Jagex themselves to make it as smooth as possible. Our revisions seems to have a lot of shaders on like every single item. If you compare OSRS & RoatPKZ screen by screen u can really notice the difference. Quote Link to comment

Of course you can, and from a developer perspective, it won't make any difference to the loading on your pc. Just FYI. Quote Link to comment

Just FYI. If we're using OSRS data, it would be way simpler to implement new bosses, areas, weapons. Otherwise it would waste the development time by modelling, reworking the items from OSRS to another revision. (OSRS content is simpler to find and buy for the owner). Speed & smoothness of the game can be effected for slightly better PC's too. People always appreciate this. For example it's nearly impossible for me to PK @Edge since it's very crowded, shades take more of the CPU but it's very enjoyable for servers with the proper revision) For a developer of course not, for consumers - you may not know how many people play RSPS'es because of the low requirements to run the game even smooth.

It's packed in the cache rather than hardcoding, you mean? You realize I'm an ex-dev here, yeah? 1 hour ago, Brid Queen said: Speed & smoothness of the game can be effected for slightly better PC's too. People always appreciate this.

The latest data packs will not stop this, sorry. 1 Quote Link to comment
PK Guy Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 True, but if you're going to use a proper client then you might as well go the whole hog and switch to OS server base too, and re-add all Rpkz content to it, rather than converting the existing one to work with a newer client. It's a lot of work though, probably too much to make it a worth doing Quote Link to comment

The devs should really consider this, think about the long run future Quote Link to comment
