Released version 4.0.9 of the RSU Client.
Basically done some bugfixes and added a language selection for the gameclient in the settings editor incase Jagex messes up the one in the client again in the future :) Version 4.0.1 is here! This version(with 4.0.0) includes a ton of changes! For simplicity i will just stuff the changelog here
You can get the new version from the PPA, AUR or Universal Archive Version 3.9.6 of the RSU-Client is now released and available in the LaunchPad PPA and from dropbox.
This new version contains Nvidia Optimus support through the use of bumblebee and primusrun. As a last note, the LaunchPad PPA packages are now automatically built from the git repository, this means that the packages are updated automatically and should be available within 1 day after a release. Thanks to the RuneScape player Tzbob for telling me that primusrun lets RuneScape use the Nvidia GPU on Nvidia Optimus Linux PCs with working OpenGL.
After he mentioned this to me I started working with the rsu_primusrun.pm module which will make the runescape script automatically use "primusrun" if it is available on the system (if you told the script to use primusrun). A full release is planned on Monday the 17th December, if you want to try it out beforehand you can find the beta here: https://github.com/HikariKnight/rsu-client/archive/v3.9.6-BETA-nvidia-optimus-support.zip Tests done by Tzbob shows that the Nvidia Optimus card gives better performance in runescape on Linux than on Windows! If you need more info about primusrun then please read this article on Webupd8.org http://www.webupd8.org/2012/11/primus-better-performance-and-less.html The beta of the RSU-Client is now available at GitHub! Please test it and give feedback about the addons functionality in the Community - Linux thread on the RuneScape Forums. Thought i would mention that Fallen Unia have forked the RSU-Client.
The fork is basically a "lite" version of the RSU-Client. But it is still a fork even though it is changed to fit his own needs! This shows one of the things you can do with the new modular approach of the client :) Take a look at his repository at https://github.com/Unia/runescape-client Keep in mind that his fork have several functions removed (like wine support, settings editor and PulseAudio) to fit his setup. Also if you have not checked it yet, you can find the LATEST sourcecode for the RSU-Client at https://github.com/HikariKnight/rsu-client Yes the RSU-Client passed over 22k downloads the last 3 months!
Ofcourse the client have been downloaded more than that but i now only have access to the download stats for the last 3 months. I am not sure how reliable the download stats are but it is still worth mentioning :) So thanks all for supporting the project! PS: forgot to mention this is from the manual install only, i do not have any stats from the ones through repositories and/or github. With the release of Evolution of Combat, the rsu-client have been updated to version 3.9.4. This version contains a fix for Windows so that the client will run on Windows again. Also this version will run RuneScape in Java6 over Java7 on Mac OSX, this fixes the autosetup issue and OpenGL issue on Mac OSX as Java7 for Mac does not have a fully working jawt implementation, which is the library used to access OpenGL. Also all files related to the Evolution of Combat will be removed in this version and the client will remove the runescap-beta.desktop file and template along with runescape-beta.prm I hope you all will enjoy the Evolution of Combat along with the fixes mentioned above. Today version 3.9.2 of the RuneScape Unix Client is finally uploaded to all repositories. Version 3.9.2 is a major overhaul of the sourcecode so that it is more friendly to read through as all functions are split into perl modules now. This allows you to easily write your own code for the client without potentially destroying the client ;) plus you will be able to add functionality that currently does not exist in the public release. This version also introduces a git repository for those interested in the sourcecode and the development of the client. You can find the project on github: https://github.com/HikariKnight/rsu-client This is the changelog for version 3.9.2 * Splitted the source into modules * Made it possible to write custom modules * Store information that are used by modules inside the $rsu_data mutator for easy transfer of info to modules * Git repository made on github.com! * Fixed a bug where the launch command lacked some output for the debug messages after the source was splitted. As you all Nvidia Optimus users know, the RuneScape Unix client does not support Nvidia Optimus (not even through optirun)!
I want to add support for it but i need a computer with Nvidia Optimus to test on (I can do this through TeamViewer) so that i can rapidly test and write code to try support it. Credits will be given to the player(or non player)s that let me temporarily borrow the computer for testing remotely. If you are reading this an will let me borrow your computer in order to add this support, please email me at mu.antilag(at)gmail.com with the title "Nvidia Optimus Support" - HikariKnight |
