Client Launcher
Hello players! I am very happy to announce that we have a brand new launcher for the RuneRebels game client. This updated launcher provides much greater stability for loading the client, and fixes many issues that have cropped up as we've rolled out updates to the game client itself. This includes being able to launch the client when our update server is offline instead of immediately crashing, and improved error messages for when something does go wrong so that the developers can help you identify the exact issue. We've also heavily polished the loader, fixing various layout issues with the "Download update" screen where the UI elements weren't properly centered. Lastly, we've nuked the old crusty double RR ice logo from the old cool text generator days and replaced it with a brand new Sword & Shieldusty double RR ice logo from the old cool text generator days and replaced it with a brand new Sword & Shield™ icon that looks beautiful in your dock or pinned to your taskbar!

Here is the fixed "Downloading updates" screen in all of its glory!


Download Page
Additionally, we've put together a new download page that lets you easily download the latest version of the launcher for your operating system, or any of the operating systems that we currently support! We are also working on a version of the launcher that will run on Linux, so any players out there running Linux keep an eye out for an update! Here is a screenshot of the new page:



We hope that you enjoy these updates; we will continue to try and make it as easy as possible to download and access the game. Also this does not count as our monthly update; we have a regularly scheduled content update coming soon as well.

Game Client Launcher:
• Increased the maximum memory limit of the game to 512 MB.
• Fixed an issue that causes a crash on login with high detail.
• Added new client icon.
• Added logic to automatically add PowerPC slices to legacy Mac OS X loader.
• Started producing a .app bundle for newer macOS versions that works with Java 7 and higher.
• Started producing a .app bundle for newer macOS versions that has Java 8 embedded in it.
• Improved the error messages when the loader encounters an issue.
• Made the loader function even when a check for updates operation fails.
• Added a fallback to a local cache for the client configuration if the update server is offline.
• Made the loader able to start the client without an internet connection if the client has been previously launched.
• Enabled automated building with Marshmallow.
• Fixed the layout of the "Downloading update" screen so that the text and loading bar are properly centered.
• Added a default title to the "Downloading update" window if the configuration for the client doesn%27t set it.

"Wow, that was actually pretty fun!" exclaimed Ryan after finishing up the book for the Black Knight's Fortress Quest. "I wonder what other books are almost complete down here" he said, as he started to fumble through the remaining books that looked nearly complete. There was one dark red book sitting on the corner of the Quest Desk, with an extremely faded title. Ryan picked up the book and blew off the dust to read the title. "Demon Slayer" he read outloud as he opened up the book. This one looked like it need a lot more work than the last book, so Ryan grabbed some magical frozen pizza and a Wizard's mind bomb and got to work.

Happy Spring players! We are extremely excited to kick off the new season with yet another awesome additional to the RuneRebel's Quest Library.

We've put ton of work and effort into this Quest, and it has actually been in development for years! We can't wait for you to try it out and increase your Quest Point count. Let us know in the replies what quests you want to see next!

RuneRebels 2.8.7 Black Eye

After the extensive holiday partying, the RuneRebels headquarters was a mess. There were scrolls of code scattered all over the place, tons of admins passed out in various rooms, dwarven stout spilled all over the floor, and redberry pies with swarms of flies laying all over the floor. There was a lot of cleaning up to do, so the team quickly got to work! While they were putting things away, they noticed that their cabinets and drawers were a a complete unorganized mess. Onur couldn't even find the dish soap to clean out all of the pie dishes! "Guys, if we want to be able to live here this year, I think we are gonna have to do some serious cleaning" said Bill. With that, the team got to work scrubbing the headquarters to get it to be as clean as the water from Baxtorian falls!

Happy new years players! We are thrilled about reaching our one update per month goal for 2018 and are very excited about doing the same for 2019. While working through many of the updates from the past year, we improved a lot of the tools and processes that we use to develop the game, and I've been able to greatly expand the ways that the other developers can contribute to the game. As part of setting ourselves up for some very large content focuses updates this year, I took some time to massively clean up and modernize many plugins and the server game engine itself. There is a large amount of low-level code that I wrote back in middle and high school that still powers the game to this day that is starting to show its age and is making development harder. With this update, I've cleaned up, removed, or re-written a significant amount of that code, which is why you will notice that Marshmallow's summary at the bottom of this post is excessively long. Almost every plugin has also been modified or cleaned up as well. This not only makes it easier and faster for me to add new features to the engine and plugins, but also means that all of the things we build on top of it will contain fewer bugs from the start and cause less headaches for developers.

That being said, if you notice anything that was previously working that is now broken after this update, let us know via the forums or Discord and we will fix it ASAP. At one point during development I accidentally broke interacting with Npcs (including the bankers!) with a one line change, so if any other issues crept past us we want to hotpatch them immediately. Over 9000 lines of code in over 300 files have been modified:



We have some really cool features and content in the pipeline, and this update is the first step in delivering them to you!

RuneRebels 2.8 Castalia

---

After finally getting out of the Abyss, the RuneRebels team went back to the developer headquarters and crashed for a good rest. The holiday season was coming up, which is always a favorite time of year for the team. Bill and Onur planned to make a big ass turkey for Thanksgiving, and had Ryan PM the Freaky Forrester to see if he could set aside one of the bigger turkeys for the RuneRebels Thanksgiving Feast. All was going according to plan, and Sean got started on baking up some yummy pies in the kitchen. However, just as Sean was pulling his first mouthwatering Redberry Pies from the oven at around 2 AM, he heard quiet a bit of noise outside the door, along with what sounded like the fumbling of keys. He quickly grabbed Ryan from the Disney Dungeon where he was watching movies, then grabbed Bill and Onur from Bill's Blunt Shop where they were doing some baking of their own. "Guys, I think someone is trying to break into the Dev House" said Sean. They all quickly ran back upstairs, where they noticed a figure had already entered the doorway. They stood in silence as the figure moved into the light and it became clear who had just entered the house. "Whats up guys, I'm back from the store!" said James. "JAMES??" the entire team yelled out in unison. "You've been gone for like, a year man" said Onur. "I guess I lost track of time a bit at the bar" said James; "but my key still works! Is all my stuff still in my room?" continued James. "Oh yeah, its exactly as you left it; we don't do much cleaning here" said Ryan. "Its good to have you back man!" exclaimed Bill. "Oh shit, don't we have to release an update now?" said Sean. "Oh crap, its almost the end of the month!" said Ryan. "Don't worry, I have just the thing" said Sean as he pulled out a slightly dusty Quest scroll from his bank chest. There were a few small pieces missing from the Quest, so Onur went to his arts & crafts room to grab some extra dialogue lines and Ryan grabbed a bit of code glue from the cabinet. After fixing up the Quest, they put it in the mailbox for Postie Pete to pickup for the next update and headed back into the kitchen to bake more delicious pies!

All kidding aside, we would like to welcome back James to the RuneRebels Team from his extended leave of absence. We've missed you!

After the ton of work that the team did bringing a new town into existence, they were a bit tired out. Bill whipped out his magic developer minimap and started looking for a good place to chill and do some glassblowing for a bit, and the team eventually settled on hitting up Ardougne. Brother Kojo owed Bill a favor from back when they were in smithing school together, so he invites the entire team to crash at an old broken clock tower that he called home. After a lovely evening of sipping wizard's mind bombs and munching on chocolate cake, the team decided it was time to crash for the night. However, throughout the night they kept hearing awful noises from below. Unable to sleep, Austin angrily got up and went straight to the source of the noises while wearing his mystic pajamas. He discovered a horrible dungeon of monsters and scattered clock parts, and quickly ran back upstairs to inform the others. Unfortunately, he discovered that Onur had cast a sleeping spell on the team in order to get through the night. "Who is going to take care of this problem???" Austin wondered to himself...

In the morning when the developers stumbled out of their quarters to eat their morning servings of chocolate cake, they noticed that one of the feature levers had been pulled! Upon closer inspection, they realized that it was the rusty old "2x" lever that hadn't been pulled in over a million game ticks. They decided that it had been long enough since the last time it was pulled, and decided to leave it pulled for an extra day in order to celebrate the fact that it still worked!

While we were deep in the code slaying bugs in the game, we discovered that King Roald needed some assistance slaying tasks of his own. We ventured into the blank land of Morytania and helped to rebuild the temple of Paterdomus alongside Drezel. Along the way, we brought to life a whole new town filled with some very peculiar creatures who don't respond very well to being threatened. Lastly, we helped to unrestore a beautiful old tower by filling it with monsters and creatures that should never see the light of day. We hope that you have more fun managing them than we did!

I'm so excited for you guys to finally get to try out all of the new features and content that this update adds to the game. The content in this update has been a long time in the making, and I'm so proud of all the hard work that the development team did on this release. They've taken the tools that I've made and brought the game to the next level, and on my own I would never have been able to get the game to this point. Make sure to thank the members of the development team if you see them in game, and please keep reporting anything bugs or oddies that you encounter! The team has pressed me hard to improve the quality of the game and fix many of the small annoyances and inconsistencies in the game, such as the speed at which you bury bones, pickup items, or how fast the hit splats appear on Npcs. We will always encourage feedback from you guys, and thank you for sticking with us!

Player Experience
Finally, one of the core focuses of this update is to improve the player experience of the game. This includes server-side things such as fixing the timing for burying bones, picking up items, hit splats appearing, and so on. However, it also includes making improvements and fixes to the game client! For example, the neon bulbs that powered the glowing RuneRebels logo during client startup have finally burnt out, and we've replaced it with extremely optimized update server code to get you to the login screen faster:


You have also probably noticed that there is now a button in the bottom right corner for toggling the login screen music on and off! This setting will save between game sessions, so we hope that it encourages more people to try out high detail and experience some of the music and sound effects that we have added in this update. We also encourage you to post bugs on anything that is missing music and sound!

Finally, we've modified how the blurb of text when you first login to the server behaves. Instead of getting spammed with multiple messages that you will probably ignore every login, we've summarized everything into a single message that will only be presented once every day that directs you to our new ::help command. For the rest of the day, you will experience the pure bless of an almost empty chatbox on login:

We have more improvements for the player experience and the client planned for the future, and can't wait to share them with you in future updates!


Good luck in the tower...
