Update Notes / Updates 31/03/2015

« on: March 30, 2015, 02:08:20 pm »

Hey guys,

I've heavily updated the client's rendering procedure. It's not yet fully completed, but the aim is to get much higher fps rates. You can already test out the new mode by typing ::multicore, it can be disabled by typing ::multicore again. If you enable ::multicore, please compare your fps rates and tell me if you actually have an improvement! (::fpson / ::fpsoff) Restart your client before you test it out, else it won't work!!

List of changes and fixes:

• Colored darkbow attack interface and special attack fixed. They're now recognized as 'bows' at their attack styles.
• Sacred clay armour smithing requirement lowered. You now need at least level 8 Smithing to make the whole armour.
• Blessing clay on altars isn't bugged anymore.
• An attempt to fix GWD spawn issues. I was able to reproduce the spawning issue there, but I'm not 100% sure if that's exactly what happened in the live version of emps.
• Morrigan's javelin special attack fixed.
• Sacred clay equipment on level 1 now gives bonuses.
• Sacred clay staff is now a 1-handed weapon.

We're aware of the bug that spams "You've lost your target." in the chatbox. I'm not yet sure what exactly causes the problem. I've added some debugging code that will make it easier for me to finally find and fix the issue.

All the best,
Thomy

Hey guys,

The GE is finally going into alpha stage. We'll now be intensively testing it on our test world 3 (no open alpha; only staff will be able to test it). That means that it will be released as soon as all bugs are fixed! The GE release will be split up into 3 phases:

• Initial GE in-game: Ability to buy/sell items over the system in-game
• Price Monitoring: Price estimations on every item that is bought/sold on the GE system
• Homepage Integration: Graphs of price monitoring on the homepage

In other news, I've made a list of changes:

• You now gain additional shooting distance when fighting larger npcs.
• Sometimes when spam-clicking 'Attack' on npcs with Ranged, you'd walk up to them. That's now fixed.
• Jad minigame difficulty decreased. Every monster in the minigame now has 2/3 of its original health. The italian boot safespot was also improved, using it should be easier now.
• All skeletons now count for a skeleton slayer task.
• A bug was fixed where skillcapes disappeared upon using their emote.

All the best,
Thomy

Hey guys,

Today, I'm presenting you some changes to do something against the current situation in Emps-World. We have the problem of too little high level gear being in the game. On top of that, some people are just hoarding valuable items, making it impossible for others to get some! I'm therefore lowering npc combat power in general. That means that their attacks hit less often and you hit non-zeros on them more frequently. Besides that, we've also moved the GWD kill count required to enter the boss chamber, from 20 to 10.

I've also made a list of smaller changes:

• Right-click 'Rewards' on any slayer master now opens the slayer point reward shop.
• Slayer point reward shop now correctly displays current amount of SP.
• A bug was fixed where npcs were quickly walking from one spot to another.
• Magic spells splash less often. Hitting 0 with magic was always defined as a splash. If you hit 0 with magic, you now have a 50% chance to splash. That means that the other 50% of your splashes from before just hit 0 now. This sounds stupid, because you do no damage anyway? Not completely true, a splash doesn't trigger spell effects, whereas a 0 hit does!
• Nechryaels no longer stop attacking you.
• Client rendering improvements. People who use the openGL client should experience a bit smoother gameplay and higher fps rates.
• Mud- & Battlestaves can now be noted.
• Tyras guard in falador has 2 new teleport options: Warrior's Guild and Pest Control.
• An edgeville teleport tab has been added to the voting shop. You get 5 tabs for 1 VP.

All the best,
Thomy

Hey guys,

I've got a lot of bug fixes ready for today. I'm only mentioning the largest changes:

• Barbarian agility course overhaul. Timing is better now and bugs have been fixed where you could get stuck.
• Item pickup issue fixed. You're even able to pickup items that are 1 step away from you. That should fix all pickup issues in general.
• Guardian Angel issue fixed. Everybody who's died yesterday has received a GA. That debugging option was disabled.
• Ardougne castle stairs added. You can now climb to the top.
• Ardougne windmill configured. You can now go up and down there.
• You can no longer drop items on farming patches, so loot wont float into the air anymore.
• EDIT: I've also added a 'Thank You' modification to the forum. It allows you to say thank you to forum posts.

All the best,
Thomy

General Discussion / Blocked Application Fix

« on: September 19, 2014, 09:09:01 am »

Hi!

I'm creating this guide to fix possible automated blocking of the client. There isn't much you need to do to get it to work, except for adding
emps-world.net to Java's security exceptions. I've written a guide to take you through the required steps.

MAC USERS GO HERE: http://emps-world.net/forum/index.php?topic=4182.0


Why is that? (Skip this if you don't care why)

Since Java 7.51 they have decided that Java applications cannot be run anymore unless they are signed off by a trusted authority. Sounds great, doesn't it? Yes, it sounds awesome, but signing the client by a trusted authority costs $200. In the end it's just a money rip-off for developers.


How to add Emps-World as Security Exception

1-2: Search for Java on your computer and find: Configure Java or Java Control Panel.

(Find Java Control Panel on a MAC: http://www.java.com/en/download/help/mac_controlpanel.xml)

3-4: Click on Security and hit the Edit Site List... button.


5-7: Click on the Add button and enter http://emps-world.net/ in the Location field. Please make sure that you enter EXACTLY http://emps-world.net, else it WILL NOT WORK!
Then hit the OK button and you're done.


8: Head over to http://emps-world.net/play and see if it has worked.


Still not working?

If you still cannot get the webclient to work, please just post here and we'll do our best to help you.
