Quick update on oldschool Emps-World: I've succeeded in loading the complete oldschool data and am rendering it in the emps engine now:
Is this pretty much how it woud look? I understand that for example the shadows are going to be removed and everything though I expected to have a 317 source server... I'm a bit disappointed.
Personal preference though.
Good to see you getting at it right away, still as dedicated!
This confuses me quite a lot. Just for clarification purposes. The old and original 317/377 servers are revisions maintained by the modern RuneScape since its beginning. It's probably at something like 800 or 900 now. When oldschool started, they also started their revision number from 0. The screenshot you see above is osrs revision 149 inside the emps engine.
I really don't understand why you'd disable graphical improvements. However you can cripple the game and put the settings on minimum:
It is just a speculation, but I do think it has alot to do with the memories we have from Emps-Scape and the way it looked like.
I mean, you even said it yourself, Thomy...
I for myself enjoy working on an oldschool Emps-World too... it really does feel nostalgic to walk around on the old map with old character models. I'll see where the project goes and post more details when they are available.
It is no secret that OSRS has more players than RS3 by now even though OSRS was launched a couple years later.
I have the same feeling with Emps-World. It reminds me too much of RS3 than Emps-Scape and all the graphical updates, new (HD looking) dungeons, auras, etc. turned me (and probably many others) away from this game.
