====== Information ======
* RuneScape ((http://www.runescape.com))
* NXT ((https://runescape.wiki/w/NXT))
* Jagex Launcher ((https://www.jagex.com/en-GB/launcher))
* This allows running the Jagex Launcher with Wine, and the RS3 NXT client natively
* Jagex Launcher can be closed after pressing ''Play'' and the RuneScape client window appears ((the log-in session carries over through world switches and even log-outs; Jagex Launcher only needs re-opened if you close the RS client window))
===== Prerequisites =====
* [[linux;distros;fedora_workstation_gnome|Fedora Workstation (GNOME)]]
* [[notes:wine|Wine]]
===== Notes =====
* Once installed, be sure the game cache is fully-downloaded, and ideally toggle Options -> Textures between ''Compressed'' and ''Uncompressed'' for both caches ((2024/03/24: ''RuneScape'' folder is 10.9 GB))
====== Disable Legacy GNOME Tray ======
* :!: Jagex Launcher sometimes has issues with being interacted with from GNOME tray with the AppIndicator/KStatusNotifierItem support for GNOME Shell extension ((this automatically installs on Fedora through Steam as a dep, and is included out-the-box with Ubuntu 23.10))
* Can be an issue on other desktop environments ((2023/12: Xfce on openSUSE TW seemed fine))
gnome-extensions disable 'ubuntu-appindicators@ubuntu.com'
gnome-extensions disable 'appindicatorsupport@rgcjonas.gmail.com'
====== Dependencies ======
* :!: F40 requires installing ''openssl1.1'' RPM from F39 ([[https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/problems-playing-runescape-without-openssl-1-1/124701|thread]])
sudo dnf install 'openssl1.1.x86_64' && sync
====== Install ======
===== Initial =====
****
mkdir -p ~/'.wine' && WINEPREFIX=~/'.wine/RuneScape' WINEARCH='win64' wineboot && sync
===== Jagex Launcher =====
* :!: You'll need to supply ''Jagex Launcher'' files as the installer doesn't work ((install Jagex Launcher on a Windows machine first, and then the ''Jagex Launcher'' folder in ''Program Files'' can be copied over as-is to the Wine prefix; you don't need to log-in but ideally run it once after installation for it to update to the latest version))
* See [[games;linux;wine;jagex_launcher|Jagex Launcher Installer]] notes for installer testing
==== Google Drive ====
* [[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ycvSFHTCXNQ7kXnPTS8XHFg__qgfB2ti/view?usp=sharing|Google Drive]] link to a clean ''Jagex Launcher'' folder with SHA256
* Use this if at all unsure

==== Manual ====
* Expects something like ''~/Downloads/20230920-Jagex-Launcher.zip'' with any date
* The top-level of the archive should be the ''Jagex Launcher'' folder ((should have file contents like ''20240206-Jagex-Launcher.zip/Jagex Launcher/JagexLauncher.exe''))

==== Jagex Launcher ====
* Update launcher if prompted, log-in, select RuneScape -> Install
* Fully-exit Jagex Launcher after installation

==== Old Intel Graphics ====
* Intel GMA 4500MHD
* :!: This hasn't been tested since 2019
* The graphics-related environment variables are for a Intel GMA 4500MHD GPU that barely reports OpenGL 2.0
* :!: ''MESA_GLSL_VERSION_OVERRIDE'' is required, and ''130'' is the lowest NXT will allow
* :!: ''MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE'' can be ''2.1'', but ''renderer'' in dev console doesn't expose GL extensions ((it's unknown if this causes any issues or improves anything))

==== Camera ====
* https://old.reddit.com/r/runescape/comments/b5ga9y/resetdefault_camera_zoom_possible/ejdplsy/
* https://sqlitebrowser.org/dl/
* DB Browser for SQLite -> ''Settings.jcache''
* Browse Data -> Table: vt-varc -> KEY 1971 -> DATA
* Set ''DATA'' for KEY ''1971'' to NULL and restart client to have default camera distance ((the default value as of 2022/09/27 is ''4730''))
* In-game -> Settings -> Gameplay -> General -> Game Interaction -> [x] Lock zoom to prevent accidental changes
sudo dnf install 'sqlitebrowser' -y

===== Developer Console =====
==== GNOME Keybind ====
* Press ''Alt'' + ''~'' to access the console in-game
* This needs ran with GNOME since it binds Alt + ~ by-default
gsettings set 'org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings' 'switch-group' "['disabled']"
=== Keybind Reset ===
****
gsettings reset 'org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings' 'switch-group'
==== Commands ====
* Type ''help'' to see commands
* :!: FPS from ''displayfps'' being displayed lowers performance noticeably; it may be better to use ''GALLIUM_HUD'' if possible for performance statistics
help

renderer
===== Volume =====
==== Information ====
* Runescape's volume was lower than average with PulseAudio
* The following commands boosts RS's volume past 100%
* :!: This expects PulseAudio to be used ((PipeWire on Fedora 36 seems to have expected volume by-default))
* 2023/08/24: This was required on openSUSE TW
==== Get Index ====
* :!: If playing audio from another source, remove ''grep'', and ''Properties'' will present ''Runescape'' for the correct sink
pactl list sink-inputs | grep '#'
==== Set Volume ====

pactl set-sink-input-volume 'x' '155%'
