Hello everyone,

We realize that there's been a lack of information regarding updates recently, and that we've taken a bit longer than usual on the most recent update. This is because we have some huge ongoing projects in the pipeline, and today we're excited to share some of them with you! For the past few weeks/months, we've been working on multiple projects, including the GPU plugin, the World Map, the new OSRS interface that includes spellbook filtering and other features, Theatre of Blood hard mode and much more. We're hoping to bring all of these changes to the live server soon, and we're working extremely hard to make sure that happens!
 

World Map

Players can expect to see this come within the next week or two, and we're heavily focusing on finishing this project at the moment.

 

GPU Plugin

This is one of our more long term projects which we've been working on for a few months, however we hope to bring it to Alora sometime this summer.

 

Spellbook Filtering

Along with (hopefully) the World Map, players can expect this in the coming weeks!

Some extensive work was required to bring some of these newer OSRS interfaces to Alora, but the good news is that the time we've invested in adding support for OSRS interfaces will allow us to easily import interfaces whenever they update without spending time to remake them. Previously, any interface that we wanted to add would need to be hand built by us, which is a very time consuming process in most cases. Adding this support to the client means that we can easily use any of OSRS's interfaces, past or present, which should make a lot more content possible and within an easier reach. We're happy to say this also opens up the possibility for the Clans update, which included many new and complex interfaces (however this isn't in our scope yet).


Theatre of Blood - Hard Mode
Recently released on OSRS, we've been working on bringing the ToB Hard Mode to Alora! With all the new rewards, and a new challenge, we're sure that those of you who are into raiding will love this update. This should be released within the next couple of weeks if all goes well.






We hope you've enjoyed this development blog, and we look forward to bringing this updates to Alora very shortly.

Best,
Omicron & Chad

This drive is definitely whats kept Alora a powerhouse all these years.

Super confident in the longevity of this community + server because of things like this.

Gpu mode for that sweet FPS increase?
Map interface that doesn’t forward you to a website?
Spell filtering to hide unnecessary spells for the current activity?
Tob hard mode to make a young pepper plank even harder?

Omicron, you are indeed spoiling us. But I’m damn happy you are!
Thank you for the progress report of some neat ass features!
