You can view the queue by pressing, or using the gui button at the bottom right while a replay is playing.

There's a way to queue replays to play one after another: just drag more replays onto the game window at any time!.

You can drag-and-drop a replay folder directly onto the game window to play it instead of using the login screen dialogue!.

You can turn every setting off at once to return RSC+ to a pristine state, like the original client.

To make sure that RSC is not forgotten or misremembered, we have released these archives freely here. We killed every monster, watched them respawn, picked up every item, watched them respawn, did every quest with heavy scrutiny to find dialogue that no one had bothered to write down before, and we trained every skill. Over the next 70 days, a dozen or so dedicated players recorded RSC+ replays and attempted to document every interaction with the server possible. We would release RSC+ replays to the general public as 'stable' on May 29th.

Using our momentum from the previous week's renaissance of RSC+ development, multiple developers of RSC+ worked together to very quickly prototype RSC Replays, creating the first playable archive of decryptable RSC server data only one day after Jagex's announcement.

But then we realized, actually, that RSC+ could keep going.Īpplying an approach similar to one used in console emulation, we realized that if we could record all the network traffic coming from Jagex's RSC servers, and save it to disk, we could find a way to feed it back into the client, and make RSC+ a tool for software preservation.

We fixed resizable mode on Mac OS X, finishing up loose ends we had started. what good is a client without a server? Would our work over the last 2 years go to waste? What happened to RSC+? Well, the first thing we did when we heard the announcement was, to add a sad little countdown to the end on the login screen.

I remember feeling distinctly optimistic and proud of our work right before Jagex announced they'd be yanking the rug out from under us in about 3 months. Think about the ratio of 4 active developers on a client with an active playerbase of only 50 players online at any given time (of which, yes, about 70 to 90% were botting). RSC+ was in kind of a renaissance period of fast development. It'd been up for nearly 18 years, why stop? In the week before this announcement, we had 4 active contributors to the project. Somehow we didn't see it coming we just thought RSC would be up forever. Influenced by OSBuddy paving the way for 'legit' third-party clients, RSC+ was released to make playing RSC on modern computers with their massive 1920x1080 resolutions more enjoyable, to provide quality of life updates, and to provide a level playing field for players whose only alternative to the aging 512x346 locked official client was a closed source bot client (which by the way, did not have resizable mode until about a week after RSC+ released with the feature).Įverything was happy with RSC+ for a couple years and thanks to its open source nature, many quality of life features were added to the client including: an XP tracker, various chat commands, a ground item overlay, the ability to see what herbs you were trading with bot users who already knew what herbs they were trading to you, inventory count overlay, fatigue/chat notifications, etc.īut then one day, May 23rd 2018, Jagex announced that RuneScape Classic would be shutting down. RSC+ was first released in January of 2016 during the last official reopening of RuneScape Classic.
