====== Information ======

  * Jagex Launcher ((https://www.jagex.com/en-GB/launcher))
  * Old School RuneScape ((http://oldschool.runescape.com))
  * :!: Legacy Java Client

  * :!: 2023/07/23: The legacy Java client is deprecated! ([[https://secure.runescape.com/m=news/new-official-client--next-steps?oldschool=1|news post]])
  * :!: 2023/07/23: These notes **won't work** with the current linked ''Jagex Launcher'' folder since there's not a previous OSRS Java install present and these notes are mainly here for historical reference; see the [[games:wine:old_school_runescape_jagex_launcher_c|C++ version]] instead!
  * :!: TODO: The Java legacy option shows in Jagex Launcher if the old OldSchool.msi (non Jagex-Launcher/Java) is installed; presumably the Java version can still work in 2024, but ''wine'' is still needed for Jagex Launcher

  * This allows running the Jagex Launcher through ''wine'', while keeping OSRS ran natively through ''java''
  * Jagex Launcher in this context is used for the account authentication, and passes the log-in session data to the OSRS client
  * Jagex Launcher can be closed after pressing ''Play'' and the OSRS 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 OSRS client window))
  * :!: 2023/07/23: This **cannot** be installed along-side the [[games:wine:old_school_runescape_jagex_launcher_c|C++ version]] with current notes since they share the same Wine Prefix location; TODO: Change Wine prefix names for OSRS Java

===== Prerequisites =====

  * [[distros:fedora_workstation_gnome|Fedora Workstation]]
  * [[notes:wine|Wine]]

===== Notes =====

  * ''i915'' on GNOME 44 shows notable tearing on OSRS when rotating the camera from Xorg, but not Wayland

====== Install ======

===== Dependencies =====

  * ''wmctrl'' is used to toggle between windowed and fullscreen states

  sudo dnf install java-11-openjdk wmctrl && sync

===== Jagex Launcher =====

  * :!: You need to supply your own ''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))
  * [[https://drive.google.com/file/d/1e8QmSuo5OzcUGFiIUcr9tKX3gq83BlVb/view?usp=sharing|Google Drive]] link to a clean ''Jagex Launcher'' folder with SHA256 below

==== Official Installer ====

  * If the installer ever works, this is the preferred installation method
  * 2023/07/19: The installer didn't appear to launch or show any GUI

  mkdir -p ~/'.wine' && wget 'https://cdn.jagex.com/Jagex%20Launcher%20Installer.exe' -O ~/'Downloads/Jagex Launcher Installer.exe' && WINEPREFIX=~/'.wine/Old School RuneScape' WINEARCH='win32' wine explorer /desktop='Jagex-Launcher','1280x720' ~/'Downloads/Jagex Launcher Installer.exe'

===== Old School RuneScape =====

==== Jagex Launcher ====

  * Update launcher if prompted, log-in, select OSRS -> Official Client -> Install

  cd ~/'.wine/Old School RuneScape/drive_c/Program Files/Jagex Launcher' && WINEPREFIX=~/'.wine/Old School RuneScape' wine explorer /desktop='Jagex-Launcher','1280x720' ~/'.wine/Old School RuneScape/drive_c/Program Files/Jagex Launcher/JagexLauncher.exe' --disable-gpu --disable-software-rasterizer

==== Icon ====

  * The icon provided from the macOS ''.dmg'' is higher-res than the one in the Windows ''.msi''
  * ''.icns'' isn't a valid image file format [[https://specifications.freedesktop.org/icon-theme-spec/icon-theme-spec-latest.html|according to Freedesktop.org Specifications]] so this isn't in the standard icon folder
