====== 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

  sha256sum ~/'Downloads/20240509-Jagex-Launcher.zip' | grep 'bc143b9cafbf6d735193d64e486be5015d4a4e857c61329e1a49f7143987789d' > '/dev/null' && unzip -b -o -qq ~/'Downloads/20240509-Jagex-Launcher.zip' -d ~/'.wine/RuneScape/drive_c/Program Files' && sync

  gio open ~/'.wine/RuneScape/drive_c/Program Files'

==== 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''))

  unzip -b -o -qq ~/'Downloads/'*'Jagex'*'Launcher.zip' -d ~/'.wine/RuneScape/drive_c/Program Files' && sync

  gio open ~/'.wine/RuneScape/drive_c/Program Files'

===== RuneScape =====

==== Jagex Launcher ====

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

  mkdir -p ~/'.wine/RuneScape/dxvk_shader_cache' && cd ~/'.wine/RuneScape/drive_c/Program Files/Jagex Launcher' && MESA_SHADER_CACHE_DIR=~/'.wine/RuneScape' DXVK_STATE_CACHE_PATH=~/'.wine/RuneScape/dxvk_shader_cache' WINEPREFIX=~/'.wine/RuneScape' wine ~/'.wine/RuneScape/drive_c/Program Files/Jagex Launcher/JagexLauncher.exe' --disable-gpu --disable-software-rasterizer

==== RuneScape ====

  * [[#version_check|Version-check]] occasionally, as this currently expects ''runescape-launcher_2.2.11_amd64.deb''
  * Last tested: 2024/04/03 on Fedora 39

===== runescape-launcher =====

  * Minor changes to the current ''runescape-launcher'' from ''2.2.10'' ((the launcher is changed to run ''runescape'' from it's working directory instead of in ''/usr/share/..''))
  * :!: Choose a graphics preset below to paste under ''# Custom'' and above ''unset XMODIFIERS''

export MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE='zink'
export GALLIUM_DRIVER='zink'</code>

==== 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))
  * :!: This computer required graphics settings to be Low for any kind of playable FPS

<code>
# Old Intel Graphics
export MESA_SHADER_CACHE_DIR=~/'Jagex'
export MESA_GLSL_VERSION_OVERRIDE='130'
export MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE='3.0'
export mesa_glthread='true'</code>

export __GL_THREADED_OPTIMIZATIONS='1'</code>

==== Debugging ====

<code>export MESA_DEBUG='1'</code>

===== Clean Up =====

****

  rm -f ~/'Downloads/Jagex Launcher Installer.exe' ~/'Downloads/'*'Jagex Launcher.zip' && cd ~ && sync

====== Settings ======

===== Game =====

==== Music Player ====

  * See [[notes:runescape_music|RuneScape Music]]

==== 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

  sqlitebrowser ~/'Jagex/RuneScape/Settings.jcache'

===== 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

  displayfps

  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%'

===== Ping =====

  nano '/tmp/rs3-ping.sh' && chmod +x '/tmp/rs3-ping.sh' && '/tmp/rs3-ping.sh'

<code>
for world in {1..141};
do
    res=$(ping world${world}.runescape.com -c 1 2>&0 | grep "time=" | cut -d' ' -f 8,9 | cut -d'=' -f 2) && echo World ${world}: ${res};
