Hello everyone,
 
RuneLite Release
 
The long awaited RuneLite release is finally here! We'd like to thank you all for your patience while we ironed out the bugs and made sure that the client was smooth enough for the public. We'd also like to thank all of our beta testers for helping to expedite this process.
 
While we're confident enough to release RuneLite to everyone, due to the size of this update there are certainly bound to be bugs which he hope that you'll report to help us patch them up as quickly as possible. While there shouldn't be any major bugs (eg. Client crashes), it may still be advisable that certain accounts (such as Hardcore Ironman) take precautions and do not perform risky activities on the RuneLite client just yet. You can choose to play the regular Alora client through the launcher if you'd like.
 
The launcher must be redownloaded to give you the option to launch via RuneLite, and you can download it here:
Alora Client Launcher

 

NOTE: If you are currently on the RuneLite beta, you should still download this launcher to get the latest version, as well as the auto-updating feature so that you always have the newest client.
 
Once it's downloaded once, it'll auto-update RuneLite every time we release a new update. RuneLite is compatible with all operating systems, and OpenGL HD is now functional via RuneLite as well. At the moment, HD on Mac is not supported, though we will work on providing GPU/HD support for our Mac users in the near future.
 
Server Updates
 
Aside from the RuneLite update, we've managed to bring some major content updates to the server as well. This includes a brand new minigame, Pyramid Plunder! You'll be able to train Thieving in a unique way, while on the hunt for the elusive Blisterwoood flail. Rocky pets can now be recolored to a Red Panda or a Tanuki by using different berries on him. You'll also be able to make other players' hitsplats appear as a slightly darker color than your own. Other noteworthy features include the ability to heal venom/poison by clicking on your HP orb, Cape racks and Toy boxes in POH, and an abundance of bug fixes and miscellaneous QoL updates.
 
Without further ado:

• Bug fixes:
  • Fixed the Ankou attack animation.
  • Removed the duplicate Aranwe spawns in Priffdinas.
  • Players will no longer be able to take advantage of the Infernal pickaxe effect if they are using not actually mining with that pickaxe.
    • At this time, this only applies to using a crystal pickaxe with an infernal pickaxe in your inventory.

  • Players will now receive one of the other 2 weapon upgrades in the Gauntlet when killing a demi-boss and receiving the primary weapon upgrade from that demi boss.
    • Previously, this would apply after killing a Demi boss, regardless of if they had dropped the weapon upgrade or not, meaning sometimes players could kill, for example, a crystalline bear and get a crystal orb even if they had never gotten the spike.
  • Fixed the Lunar teleport graphics to match OSRS.
  • Players will now get the proper amount of experience from cutting a Blue Gill/Common Tench when Aerial fishing.

  • Chambers of Xeric chest loot will now be sent to the players bank if they don't have room in their inventory, instead of dropping to the ground.
    • Previously, items would drop to the ground if the player didn’t have room for them.
  • Players can now revert their regular Slayer helm and Slayer helm(I) to a black mask and Spiny helmet.
  • Players can now un-imbue their Black mask (I), however the imbuement scroll will be lost upon doing so.
  • The vote booth in the Darkmeyer bank now works properly.
  • The “Obtain a Vorkath head” achievement will now be auto-completed for players who have over 50 Vorkath kills and have not yet completed the diary.

• Potion changes:
  • Stamina potions:
    • Players can now drink a sip of stamina potion before their previous stamina potion timer has expired and it will reset properly.
      • Previously if this was done, it would keep the old timer, meaning the most recent sip you took had no effect.
    • Removed a duplicate message when taking a sip of a stamina potion.
  • Antifire/Super antifire/Extended antifire potions:
    • Players can now drink a sip of these potions before they’ve expired to reset the timer on them.
      • The most recent potion that was sipped will be the effect that will take hold.
        • For example, if you took a sip of the Extended antifire, then soon after took a sip of the regular antifire, the timer would be set to that of the regular antifire (the most recent dose).
    • Removed duplicate dose messages when drinking these potions
• Tinted hitsplats:
  • You can now choose to tint other players' hitsplats so that they are slightly darker than yours. This way, it is clear to see which hits belong to you and which do not, especially in situations with many players (eg. World boss event, Clan wars, etc).
    • This option is completely toggleable in the "Advanced options" interface. (See below)
• HP Orb Button:
  • Players can now click on the HP orb to cure their poison/venom.
    • Their inventory will be checked for the lowest-level potion that can cure either their poison or venom (starting at anti-poison up until anti-venom+).
• Farmer’s blessing changes:
  • We’ve re-organized the Farmer’s blessing teleports to be more descriptive of the patch that the teleport will take you to (fruit tree patch, tree patch, herb patch), and have organized them so that they are in order.
    • We’ve also changed the interface used for teleports, and it now uses a teleport scroll that has all of the options visible at once.
• The boulder jump shortcut north of the dense essence mine can now be used to return from the soul altar.
  • Players using this shortcut will require level 49 agility to use it, and it is a one-way shortcut, meaning it can only be used while returning from the soul altar.
• The Gauntlet Changes:
  • Players will no longer need to deposit all of their equipment/Inventory items before entering the Gauntlet.
    • These items will now be temporarily stored while the player is in The Gauntlet, and they’ll then be returned automatically when a player exits The Gauntlet.
• Construction additions:
  • Cape Rack:
    • Players can now use the Cape rack in their POH costume room.
      • There are 6 types of Cape racks, and each of them can store the following capes:

          • We’ve also added all of the Max cape variants to the cape rack, as opposed to just the default max cape.
  • Players can now use the Basic, Fancy, and Ornate jewellery boxes:
    • Each higher tier box contains all of the teleports of the previous tier, and some new ones as well.
    • The basic jewellery box has the following teleports:
  • Toy Box:
    • Players can now use the Toy Box in their POH costume room.
      • There are 3 types of Toy boxes, each of them can store the same items.

  • Gauntlet Plugin:
    • We’ve re-added the Gauntlet plugin back to Runelite.

        • This configuration will highlight and draw an icon over resources in the gauntlet.
      • Count boss/player attacks:
        • This configuration will keep track of the number of attacks the boss has done, as well as how many you’ve done.
          • This is useful to keep track of when the Hunllef will change prayers or attack styles.
      • Unique audio for each Hunllef attack style.
      • Boss overlay:
        • This configuration draws an overlay around the Hunllef, and will change colors based on the current attack style.
          • There is also an option to draw an attack style icon denoting which type of attack the Hunllef is currently using.
      • Tornado overlay:
        • This configuration draws a timer on the tornadoes which represents the time until the tornado disappears.
      • Timers:
        • This configuration allows for custom timers that will time your prep time and your boss time separately.
• Pyramid Plunder:
  • To start, players can use the Pyramid Plunder teleport in the Minigames section of the Teleport wizard interface, and enter the pyramid.
    • Once inside, just speak to the Guardian Mummy, and he can either explain how it works, or let you in right away!

    • In each room, players will need to disable the trap to enter, and then they can loot the urns, sarcophagus, and golden chest.
      • There is a small chance that the golden chest will damage you and spawn scarabs which will attack you.
      • There is also a chance that the sarcophagus will spawn a mummy which will also attack you.
      • Players have a 1/1000 chance of obtaining the Blisterwood flail from the Sarcophagus/Golden chest, a rare cosmetic that can only be obtained through this mini-game.
  • When looting urns, players will receive artefacts that they can trade in to Simon Templeton, who is located just outside of the pyramid.

In Other News...

Keep an eye out for a development blog on a brand new, completely toggleable game mode which will transform your gameplay visually to that of ~2010 RS. Many players prefer the look of this era, and we'd like to set ourselves apart from other Oldschool servers by allowing players to play exactly how they want to. Here's a preview of what we're looking forward to, you'll notice the whip animations, characters, and NPCs are quite different:

 

 
 

We'll share more details very shortly on how this is achieved and when you can expect it, as well as some more previews :)
 
 
Enjoy! :)
