Hello everyone,

 

Today's update primarily consists of a bunch of QoL and Bug fixes that we wanted to get out ASAP, as well as the Easter event items (obtainable by speaking to the Easter Bunny at home). Some of these updates may have already gone live, but were not formally posted.

 

As we continue to work on Combat Achievements to fine-tine that update (which will be released very shortly), we wanted to get out everything else we've been working on in the meantime.

 

• Vyre Changes:
  • Npc’s in Darkmeyer will no longer be aggressive towards players wearing a full set of Vyrewatch or Citizen clothing.
    • The Citizen outfit can be purchased from the vote shop for 100 vote points each piece, and there are 3 pieces in total.
  • Vyre’s in darkmeyer will never lose aggression, and will always attack players nearby.
  • 5 new Vyrewatch sentinel spawns have been added in Darkmeyer.
  • Some vyres have also had their attack speed and accuracy increased to match OSRS.
    • This was added to avoid allowing players to afk for days at a time with Guthans.
• Client Changes:
  • Entity Hider Plugin Improvements:
    • The Hide players/hide players 2D configs have been changed to “Hide others” and “Hide others 2D”.
    • Hidden entities will now also have their interactions hidden as well.
      • For example, right-clicking a group of players will now only show the options for the non-hidden players.
        • Hidden npc’s will not be interactable.
    • The hide others/hide others 2D options will now only hide players who are not friends/clanmates/on the ignore list of the logged in account.
      • These can be manually filtered through other configurations.
  • Plugin Hub Additions:
    • Players can now install the Prifddinas and Fossil Island plugins from the Plugin-hub.
      • These plugins can be used to remove resource-demanding objects from these areas and highly increase FPS in some cases.
    • Players can now install the Thrall helper plugin from the Plugin-hub.
      • This plugin reminds you to summon a thrall every so often.
    • Wilderness multi lines plugin:
      • This plugin draws lines to show which tiles are multi-combat while in the wilderness.
    • Client Anti Drag:
      • This plugin allows players to set an anti-drag delay for dragging the client around.
        • This will not work on Mac devices that are not using the custom window chrome (enabled in the runelite plugin settings.
  • Chat Filter Plugin Improvements:
    • An option to collapse duplicate game/player chat messages has been added.
      • This will hide all duplicate messages and only draw the most recent message, with an indicator of how many duplicates have been shown at the end.
  • The public chat filters will now effect overhead text chat.
    • Players with their public chat filter set to hide/none/friends will no longer see regular public chat messages.
      • The “None” filter will only show support/admin/mod chats, the “Hide” filter will only show mods/admins/support/yourself, and the “friends” will show the same messages as “Hide”, but also include friends on your friends list.
      • These hidden messages (depending on your selected filter) will also not show up in the chatbox in any selected tab (previously all public chat messages would appear when the public chat tab was selected, regardless of the filter).
  • The Chat Filter Plugin will no longer permanently remove filtered out messages.
    • Players will no be able to see previously blocked messages when removing the filter.
      • This also fixes an issue where some plugin features that relied on chat messages wouldn’t work properly if the message was blocked.
        • An example of this was the timers plugin not triggering timers that use chat messages if the message was blocked.
  • The Chat filter options background will now match OSRS, and be re-colored with resource packs.
  • Interface styles plugin changes:
    • The Interface styles plugin now has an option to unlock FPS on LD mode.
      • This does not require the GPU/117HD/Alora HD enabled.
• K’ril Tsutsaroth Changes:
  • K’ril now has his special attack, “Smash”, which he has a 1/9 chance of doing instead of K’ril’s melee attack if the player is using the protect from melee prayer.
    • This attack does 35-45 damage, and drains 50% of the player’s special attack.
  • K’ril now uses the proper projectile and animation for his magic attack, and has the proper attack sound.
• Vote book stacking for all game modes:
  • There will no longer be a restriction on stacking bonuses from Vote books for Group Ironman/Hardcore Ironman/Elite Ironman/Realism players.
• Well of Goodwill overfilling:
  • You can now overfill the Well of Goodwill past 150m, up to 2b total GP. If there is enough GP after the timer runs out, it will automatically renew the well for another 2 hours.
  • This will allow players to donate more valuable items without wasting the excess gold, and to easily fill the well for extended periods of time without any downtime.
• Booster scrolls are now stackable.
  • This will make it easier to buy and sell large amounts of boosters, either on the Trading post or from other players directly.Daily login rewards can now be claimed from anywhere, as long as you are not in any sort of mini-game, session, trade, gamble, duel or the wilderness.
• Shop Changes:
  • Trading a general store shopkeeper as an ironman will now open the Ironman supplies shop.
  • Ironmen can now purchase ranging supplies from Lowe’s Archery emporium.
    • The stock is the same as OSRS, however the prices are 15x higher than on OSRS.
      • Items can be sold back to this shop for a greatly reduced price.
• Easier vote claiming:
  • You can now claim votes using a command from nearly anywhere in the game, as long as you're not in any sort of mini game, session, trade, gamble, duel, or the wilderness.
    • ;;claim, ;;claimvote, or ;;auth will all work.
  • You can quickly type in ;;auth xxxxxx, but if you don't provide the auth in the command it will open a window for you to claim a vote.
• Bug fixes:
  • Fixed a bug where the BGS was not properly draining an npc’s combat stats.
    • Players can see the accuracy changes reflect
  • Fixed a bug where the loot announcement for the font of consumption would state the amount of unsireds earned, rather than the actual item received from the font.
  • Fixed a bug where the well of goodwill client timer was slightly wrong.
  • Fixed a bug where the Low detail plugin would remove a lot of the floors in some areas, such as wintertodt, chambers of xeric, the gauntlet, the nightmare, and akkha.

  • Fixed a bug where the hp/prayer/run energy orbs would flash far too quickly if the player's FPS was higher than 50.
  • Fixed a bug where the Mining plugin would not recognize that a player’s motherlode mine sack was upgraded, and therefore not calculate deposits left properly.
  • Zebak will no longer use his remaining special attacks if he's reached his enraged phase.
  • Fixed a bug where the Dragon warhammer/Statius warhammer specs would re-roll the damage after deciding whether or not to apply the defence reduction effects, leading to non-zero damage being done, but the effect not being applied.
    • The defence reduction effect should now always be applied when the damage done is greater than 0.
