#165867 Alora supersampling and anisotropic filtering for nVidia users (better graphics)

Posted by Mapping on 24 February 2018 - 04:05 PM

Hey guys here is my guide to enable supersampling and anisotropic filtering.

 

Before you run away because you don't like openGL mode know you can disable textures and blending (::textures ::blend) for more of a classic look, and that openGL gets better fps.

6g2rZiW.jpgTo enable supersampling and anisotropic filtering you will need nvidia profile inspector

https://ci.appveyor....build/artifacts

 

You're going to need to create a new profile and add java to it (circled in red) and change your settings to match mine

If you were to play right now you would have this graphical glitch:

You need to change this setting in nvidia profile inspector:

Make sure you hit apply when you're doing changing any settings in nVidia inspector or they will revert to default.

 

Now you're game should look like this (I toggled ::blend to be off, so yours might look a hair different):


Here is the result in high quality (click the image):

#163834 Regarding Recent Downtime

Posted by Omicron on 18 February 2018 - 11:52 AM

Hey guys,

 

I’d like to sincerely apologize for the lengthy downtime today. An exploit was identified on our website which urgently needed to be fixed, and we took extra time to ensure that we’ve properly patched this exploit for our security and that of all of our users.

 

It is impossible to have a perfectly secure website in today’s world, and as a result, it is something that most, if not all large websites will have to deal with at one point or another. We have done our best to ensure that this issue is patched, and we’ve increased our security to prevent this from happening again in the future. Your account should not have been affected by this, and neither has the trading post or any other website/game functions.

 

While your accounts and all personal data are safe, we will be forcing you to change your password every so often (starting today) and will continue do so in the future so that players do not recycle passwords between Alora and other websites. We are currently setting the frequency of password changes to 60 days and will change this if required.

 

The staff team and I would also like to thank all of you for your patience not only today, but through any road bumps that Alora has had in the past, your support means everything. :)

 

Regards,

Omicron

#161441 Make barrows a bit cooler.

Posted by Foktabish on 09 February 2018 - 08:30 PM

Hi! I just wanted to tell the devs and the staff that i really enjoy the server, but theres a way to make barrows look cooler.

I think it would be cooler, and more interesting for players, if the loot at barrows appeared in a chest window on the screen, instead of on the ground. I'm pretty sure it wouldnt be hard to make, just make the last kill of the 6 trigger the same window as the chest at the end of a normal barrows trip, and get the loot in there, i dont know anything about the code language used to runescape servers or anything but im pretty sure it wouldnt be hard. (i'm talking about that chest https://imgur.com/a/GJYeD ) it would make the last kill even cooler and get players more hyped up,at least, thats what i feel like. 




#160803 Staff Update 2/8/18

Thanks for the opportunity, I will not let you down ;)

 

Congratulations to everyone else as well!




#155878 The Importance of 2FA & UNIQUE Password

Posted by Mewtwo on 26 January 2018 - 10:50 AM

Hello ladies and gentlemen,
 
It has come to our attention that some users have been still getting hacked in the past weeks. This thread already have been done a few times but I believe it's time for another heads up to the new players.
 
The main reason of it happening is other RSPS that had their database compromised and now once again we're HIGHLY recommending users change their passwords to a UNIQUE one and enable 2FA if you haven't already, we encourage you to activate 2FA so you have the highest level of protection on your account. If your account is hacked there will be nothing we can do as we have offered you security for your account.
 
Do not click on any links people send to you via PM on forums offering rewards for finding bugs or anything else, just report to any staff member ASAP.
 
Here is a guide on how to set 2FA up - http://www.alora.io/...tication-guide/
 
AND if you have any questions, don't hesitate to PM myself or any of our Staff Members that are online at the time OR make a thread in this section so we can help you further on it: http://www.alora.io/...ssword-support/
 
For players that don't know how to change their password, you can find it in your User CP settings. 
 
c89c9e8ded70dce134f617d33822e775.png
 
Once you go on your settings, you go to 'Email & Password'. From there you can change your password, and your email if you wish to.
 
ce8861ed70a2e7e9b13a736247b3a35c.png
 
It's very important to the community spread the word in-game because is not everyone that use the forums.
 
 
Regards,
 
The Alora Administration Team
 
 
 



#155775 How to get HD (OpenGL) working on Mac OSX High Sierra / Mojave

Posted by Omicron on 26 January 2018 - 06:06 AM

How to get HD (OpenGL) working on Mac OSX High Sierra / Mojave
 

Note: This solution still works on OSX Mojave 10.14, tested October 2018.

 

Hey guys,

So after recently upgrading my Mac from Sierra to High Sierra, I noticed that HD was broken. I tried re-installing Java 1.6 as outlined in my other tutorial, but I had no luck getting HD to work again.

I decided to dig deeper into this to figure out what the problem was, and although there was no easy way to get it working again, I’ve found a solution that some of you may find useful. It comes down to moving a few files into the correct directory (as the location has changed in Mac OSX but we need them in the old location). This will work for High Sierra and presumably any future releases.

NOTE: This is ONLY for users of High Sierra. If you are on Sierra or a previous version of OSX, your HD should work fine without this tutorial!

 

IMPORTANT: Firstly, make sure that you follow the Java 1.6 tutorial found here:

http://www.alora.io/forums/topic/15711-how-to-get-hd-working-on-mac-osx/

Step 1: Disabling System Integrity Protection (SIP) and allowing hidden files to be seen

Once Java 1.6 is installed, we’re going to have to turn off “System Integrity Protection” (SIP) on our system as we’ll need to have more access to it.

Here’s how you can do this:

Follow these steps to disable SIP:

  • Restart your Mac.
  • Before OS X starts up, hold down Command(⌘)-R and keep it held down until you see an Apple icon and a progress bar. Release. This boots you into Recovery.
  • From the Utilities menu, select Terminal.
  • At the prompt type exactly the following and then press Return: csrutil disable
  • Terminal should display a message that SIP was disabled.
  • We’ll also need to run another command to be able to view hidden files. Enter the following and then press Return: defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles YES
  • From the  menu, select Restart.

 

rootless_launch_recovery_terminal-100617
rootless_terminal_command_recovery-10061



At this point, your Mac should be loaded up and your “SIP” disabled, as well as hidden files now being visible. As I mentioned earlier, we need to copy and paste some files from one directory into another.

First, we’ll find the files and copy them…

Step 2: Moving the necessary files to the correct location

 

  • Open up Finder, and on the top bar (very top of the screen) you can click Go -> Go to Folder… (or use the Command(⌘)-Shift-G shortcut) and then type in “/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Libraries“. This will take us to the folder where we need to copy files from.
  • Once you are in the Java libraries folder, you’ll see a bunch of files. What you want to do now is copy all of them (Command(⌘)-A and then Command(⌘)-C).
    • Optionally, you can copy and paste these into a folder on your desktop to make sure you don’t need to come back here.
  • Now that those files are copied, we’ll need to go to the second location where we want to paste the files. In Finder again, on the top bar (very top of the screen) you can click Go -> Go to Folder… (or use the Command(⌘)-Shift-G shortcut) and then type in “/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/“.
  • Once you are in this folder, you’ll need to right-click and select the “New Folder” option. Name this folder “Libraries” (case sensitive!).
  • Enter the newly created “Libraries” directory, and then paste your copied files into it (You can use Command(⌘)-V to paste them in).
  • Almost done! Alora should now be able to run in HD. Read on for Step 3 to make sure we re-enable your SIP as this is crucial for your Mac’s protection.

 

Step 3: Re-enabling System Integrity Protection (SIP) and (optionally) re-hiding hidden files

Note: Please do not overlook this step. It is a hassle rebooting again, but you MUST re-enable your System Integrity Protection (SIP). You just need to follow Step 1 with slight changes:

 

  • Restart your Mac.
  • Before OS X starts up, hold down Command(⌘)-R and keep it held down until you see an Apple icon and a progress bar. Release. This boots you into Recovery.
  • From the Utilities menu, select Terminal.
  • At the prompt type exactly the following and then press Return: csrutil enable
  • Terminal should display a message that SIP was enabled.
  • OPTIONAL: We can also run the other command to hide “hidden” files again. This isn’t necessary, and I personally keep my hidden files all visible, but if you’d like them to be hidden then you can enter the following and then press Return: defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles NO
  • From the  menu, select Restart.

 

That’s all! Your computer is secure once again, and you should now be able to run HD on High Sierra!

If anyone finds this too technical for them or they do not want to take any chances, send me a PM and I would be glad to hop on TeamViewer to help you out where I can. Of course, you will need to do Step 1 yourself as it requires rebooting your Mac and I cannot stay on TeamViewer for that portion.

Enjoy  :)

Regards,
Omicron




#150765 January Suggestions [14/01/2018]

Posted by Flowers on 13 January 2018 - 09:15 PM

I haven't made a suggestion thread in quite a while and as I've been active in-game recently I thought it'd be best to put that activity to some use and create something constructive. What better time to write a thread up than 3am. I've compiled a list of things that I'd like to see implemented in Alora, so please listen to one of my favourite songs right now whilst reading this thread.
 
 
Proceed with caution.
Spoiler
 
 
 
 
cooltext272467260548137.png
 
Gambling Activity
Gambling is typically a very important aspect of a server as it attracts a lot of attention and it's something that everyone loves in the RSPS community. The majority of popular servers have/had a very active gambling scene and it was one of the many reasons why players joined the server. On Alora, however, the gambling scene is very different. It's very inactive and frankly it's sad to see. Personally, I love gambling and I think it's a great attraction for players. Even though Alora doesn't really need more players, I think gambling needs a little focus to try and increase it's activity. I could only think of a couple of things to suggest to increase the scene's activity so if you guys have other things that you think will help please leave them in the comment section.
 
Firstly, I think the dice bag and mithril seeds should be made cheaper and purchasable from a shop (perhaps the Gambler NPC who roams the area for X amount of coins). This would ultimately mean that more people would gamble on the server, but there are most definitely both positives and negatives. I'll do my best to provide a list of the two.
 
 
Pros
  • The gambling scene activity would gradually increase
  • The revamp may attract more players, clans or content creators
  • This would lead to the creation of more gambling clans
  • Perhaps this could lead to more videos around the gambling scene being created
 
 
Cons
  • Those who have purchased the dice bag from the store may feel cheated out of their money/tokens. A solution to this could be to refund said player their tokens (for example)
  • As anyone would be able to use the dice bag it may lead to more scams on the server
 
Secondly, perhaps uTorrent, Scenery or any other member of staff could host more events around the gambling scene. I don't imagine that this would have a huge impact on the scene's activity but maybe a little bit as they'd be hosted more frequently.
 
 
 
 
Classic Title
This hurts my eyes. Please change the colour of this title over yell. This would make Flowers happy.
2V3_8F2lQZKIAQ-2CG1LVA.png
 
 
 
 
Staff Messages
I've reported this issue in the past more than once I believe but nothing has happened. When members of staff send you private messages in-game, they show in each option even though they should only appear "private" and "all". This may be intentional as it only happens with staff members but it's very annoying for me. Alls I'm tryna do is look at the clan chat conversations yet I'm being spammed by Hot Cakes reminding me of how hot I look irl, distracting me from helping my fellow Alorains have a better server experience.
 
Another thing regarding staff messages would be that I think icons should show. This is for self explanatory reasons and I think it'd be neat to implement. I don't really see a reason not to.
 
Doxz3CTdRsqc1AwPh4iEpw.png
 
 
 
 
Inappropriate Usernames
I've reported this issue in the past more than once I believe but nothing has happened. I think it's ridiculous to see the usernames that some people have and they're just allowed to keep them. From what I understand you disallow people to use the word "nig**r" in their usernames, so why don't you enforce this for other usernames? The last time I suggested something like this you said that there was nothing that can be done as it requires for said player's character file to be deleted or something? I don't know if I'm recalling correctly but there must be something that you can do. When Chase and I were talking about this issue he mentioned/suggested to add a word filter for when players try to register new accounts. This filter would disallow the player to create said account if they tried to use offensive or inappropriate words.
 
• c. Account names containing inappropriate, slanderous and/or disrespectful language towards another's race, belief system, ethics, or sexual orientation are not tolerated. Failure to comply with this will result in a permanent ban of the account.
 
This rule needs to be expanded. "Fuck off cunt" isn't against the rules according to the thread as the username has nothing to do with another's race, belief system, ethics or sexual orientation.
 
 
 
 
Fossil Island
Fossil Island is a largely requested thing as I've seen on the server and I have to agree that it'd be unique to have. It's pretty much a donator zone if you think about it as it offers a lot of things. I think it'd be a great idea to implement this then advertise it on the toplists so players are aware that Alora has unique content. If you wish to read up on Fossil Island to see what it's about then click this unnecessarily long hyperlinked sentence.
 
 
 
 
cooltext272467278605742.png
 
Veteran Rank
Personally, I think that the Veteran Rank requirements are... okay. However, there's an issue that I see with this. If someone just afks their time in-game and on the Forums, does that mean they're eligible for the rank? Yes, as they meet the requirements. Not only do I see that as an issue, but what if, in this scenario, this player had absolutely no positive impact in the community, or perhaps this person negatively impacts the community? The point I'm trying to make is I think that people should be deserving of the rank, otherwise next year y'all gonna have 1,094 veterans running around and it'll make the server look tacky.
 
Another concern that I see with the requirements are that they're not actually followed. By this I mean that people have had the Veteran rank given to them without them meeting the requirements. Since then, their rank has been removed however there's still one individual who has the rank even though they don't meet the requirements. The requirements thread clearly states that:
 
  • Your account must be older than one year
  • Your time online on the Forums must be 50+ days
  • Your in-game time played must be 50+ days
  • You must have less than 3 infractions on the Forums
  • You must have less than 3 punishments In-game
 
Collerkar76 doesn't meet these requirements. I'm unsure of his in-game playtime (I presume it's more than 50 days) but his account isn't one year old, nor is his time online the forums more than 50 days. Collerkar76 has had the Veteran rank since his resignation (however long ago that was) but he registered his account on the 19th of January. He needs 5 more days before he meets this requirement. His time online on the Forums is 39 days and 2 hours. He needs an additional 10 days and 22 hours before he meets this requirement.
 
I understand that Collerkar76 was a very respected person and an exception to this rank as he put a lot of effort into Alora but you could at least put this in the thread, saying something along the lines of "The Veteran Rank can be given to anyone if the staff team see fit". I joined months before Collerkar76, neither of us fully meet the requirements yet he has the rank. This makes Flowers sad as he wants it.
 
 
 
 
Member of the Month
This community event should allow members of the community to vote for candidates they wish to see nominated. A member of staff can then create a poll with said nominees and allow the community to vote for who they wish to be the Member of the Month. Whichever candidate has the most votes by the end of X should be the final say. The staff members shouldn't be the ones to have the final say as it's a community thing. Last month's Member of the Month was a little weird, as the candidate with the most votes (Savitr) had the most community votes, however Extremedanny was the one who won as the staff team decided to give it to him. In my opinion I think that this shouldn't happen.
 
 
 
 
The Moderating Team
Please put this list in a rank order. It's really hurting my eyes and I'd quite like to die continue living.
 
 
 
 
cooltext272467288748914.png
 
Discord Ownership Transfer
If I recall correctly, Blank had an argument with Administrators/staff members in public and they were kicked/banned/they left the server. This is a community Discord and I think every staff member should be in there so members of the community can ask them questions/DM them directly if needed. What if Blank has arguments with every staff member and they all get kicked? (I know this will never happen but I'm just expressing a point). If Blank didn't kick/ban any staff members from the Discord then disregard the title, don't however disregard the point I'm trying to make.
 
Also, some members of staff who are in the Discord don't have their rank and should be given them asap (unless they don't want it?).
 
 
 
 
Discord staff
When browsing Discord, I noticed that the majority of staff members don't have the Discord Staff rank. I think they should have this rank for obvious reasons. Also give Flowers Discord Staff.

My Wealth
Please give me items. I'm very poor but I'd like to be rich. Please.
 
 
 
 
Thanks for reading. If you'd like to donate to me in-game, please add me "Flowers".

#148428 Hexza [Explanation]

Posted by Hexza on 05 January 2018 - 07:55 PM

Hey guys, so many have asked me the why did you resign and are you quitting so just thought i would make a quick thread to explain.

 

1. I resigned due to numerous things but the most important being irl things and not being able to play as much while also losing a huge amount of motivation due to certain things that have happened the past 2 days. 

 

2. I will not be quitting at all but plan to focus on "Hexza" account with bossing/raids and getting my comp cape because when i do have the time to play i want to just have fun with all the lads. 

 

I will still be helping people constantly because the title didn't really mean that for me, i am just a helpful person regardless so if you guys ever need anything feel free to pm me in-game or on the forums. 

 

 

I want to take this time to thank all the staff members for letting me be apart of something great as although a short period of time on the team both times now they were incredible. 

 

Much love to Elise, Jay, Brandon, Elveymagey aka Roy, Xuf, Casual, Dennis, Ramon, Postimees (because your new ign sucks), Justin, Haris, Hondenei, Chase and anyone i missed + grats to sav for getting support today. Thanks <3

 

 




#146221 [News] Completionist

Posted by Not Salter on 30 December 2017 - 07:32 PM

I think the title explains it but I will clarify.

 

Hello, here's a small suggestion I'd like to see added!

 

  • When talking to Mac and asking about the "Completionist Monkey" while fulfilling the requirements and pressing continue for the first time,
    a server-wide message will appear in the chat along these lines; "[News] %player% has just received the Completionist Monkey for the first time!"
    This message could be whatever you see fit but somewhere along those lines.
     
  • I think this would be fun & interactive for the community to congratulate those who become completionists on the server.
    It would also give the person that has worked hard some appreciation and adoration which I think would be awe-inspiring. 

 

That's it, I'd love to hear what you think.

Thanks for reading!
