Hey, this release comes with some rework on the source code in order to make it "repository friendly" for those that want to make a repository package of it.
The Runescape player Ker Laeda have been so nice(and patient) to help me test the client through a repository and to come with input to necessary changes. You can find his AUR package for Arch Linux at https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=59362 If you are interested in making a package of the client this is what you need to know:
Here is the changelog: #### Version 3.1 #### * Prepared the client for distribution through repositories (make it aware of being run from read only locations) Please note that IF you are doing to make a repository for this client. It should be installed to /opt and then /opt/runescape/runescape and /opt/runescape/update-runescape-client should be symlinked to /usr/bin Images from the clients share folder should then be symlinked to /usr/share/pixmaps or /usr/share/icons * update-runescape-client will not give the option to update scripts when installed on /opt, in order to update the scripts you have 2 options 1. copy the runescape folder from /opt and into a location where your user have write permissions by default. 2. or you can run /opt/runescape/update-scripts as root (not recommended!) * If the client is installed to /opt it will use ~/.config/runescape as the client folder, meaning you can still update jagexappletviewer.jar from jagex without waiting for the package maintainer! * Improved the unix_findlibrarypath function (BIG THANKS TO Jmb71 FOR THE NEW REGEX!) * AUR package will be released in the very near future (BIG THANKS TO Ker Laeda FOR THAT!) as i do not have Arc Linux, Ker Laeda have helped me a lot with the testing and preparations for the client to be distributed from a repository * Documentation.txt will be discontinued and the script themselves will contain the documentation in the comments instead (however the file will still exist just to mention the sourcefiles are the documentation themselves) #### Version 3.0 #### * Thanks to Paul who reported to me that the client would not work if preferredjava was set to default-java and the java executable in $PATH was a script(or symlinked script) instead of a symlinked binary this would cause ldd to fail on what was supposed to be the binary and make the OpenGL fix not work or make the client fail to launch alltogether. A workaround for this have been made for systems that are affected (namely gentoo and sabayon) in which a message will be displayed and show the user how to set the client to use a custom java binary, this will solve this issue on these affected systems. This message will ONLY be triggered if preferredjava is not set or is set to default-java! * Updated settings.conf.example with a custom java path example :)

I tried that, command won't work with my shell, and the java binary I have given it won't work. OpenJDK6. It worked just fine, I'll update java when I get home from work later, I need to add a file to /usr/ports/distfiles. I'm using FreeBSD 8.2

To be completely fair, I used the older client for ages. Last night it kept crashing when I would click to enter the game from the lobby, it would close. I thought whatever It's due to update anyway. So I updated from the windows client and I upgraded all of the scripts. It's telling me java won't work. I pointed it to my openjdk binary with no luck. 6/11/2012 01:50:08 pm
I suspect it might have to do with my OpenGL fix.

Sure! Sorry to be a bother, java is NOT my thing. I got off stupid late tonight, I'm just adding a eula package to */distfiles/ for OpenJDK6 port. Then I'll add the new work path to the config and post back.

Actually.. The oracle doesn't have the file I need, I'll have to update my ports directory and try again in the morning. I apologize in advance, and for previous delays. Thank you for your time. 6/11/2012 10:08:40 pm
no problem, take the time you need.

updated java and gave the config the new work path, and I installed from windows client to save time inupdating p7zip port. 6/13/2012 02:27:11 pm
The jar file got removed in version 2.4 and up as me and Mod Mozza investigated if it was ok of me having it in the archive. Comments are closed.
