ARC - PUBLIC pre-alpha released!

Updated, I added a feature to display the most recent news, with the date of publication and a link to read more.

Also: removing ads/StealRS is out of the question. Both manipulate the webpage which is exactly why most clients can warrant a ban, because they change things on their webpage to give the user of the client an unfair advantage. As for the hit calculator, I don't even know how I'd go about making that. I need to use reflection for the plugin system though, but realized that it's probably a lost cause. Instead, the plugin system will be an easy reference to applications, like an IRC client for instance, or an application link to Ventrilo or TeamSpeak

 

Updated: addons system finished.

why the hell would you not block the ads?

jagex has ruled that alllllll third party game clients are against their rules, ad-blocking or not

Correct me if I am wrong.. but I think they can detect if the ads have been deleted. I'm not 100% sure due to the fact that I don't speak of the language and coding like some others do.

If they wanted to, they could, but they don't (or they do but just don't care at all).

Going to try this out now, looks pretty good. Good work.

Not to mention that would be very hard to do, considering the fact that this isn't loading the client directly, but rather loading it via the loader.jar on the website.

The new detection system is in a folder called "jagex_cache_32" and inside the "runescape" part of that folder is a "jagmisc.dll" file. Open that with notepad and there will be a "GetActiveWindow" command so they can see what your using to access runescape. It's basically spyware.

Clients loading off a jar file = fucked.

My guess is if it detects a client that loads off a JAR file not off the RS website, it blacklists your IP, after which your account is probably investigated. Its a good idea to keep the client legit.

You most likely don't have .NET 3.5 installed.

 

[Cheese ftw]

It comes up with that Send error report and Don't send thing for me *sobs*

Grats on global.

 

Please read the requirements before posting. You NEED .NET 3.5 to run this or else it will not work.

 

[claw bogy]

Here an update!

It dosnt work on windows vista 64-bit. -.-

 

[Cheese ftw]

I do have .Net 3.5 :/

Questions :

Whats the memory usage when running this program?

What is the cpu usage when you run this program?

 

I'll be privately developing the client from now on. I just reviewed SwiftKit and it seems as though it will have no problem crushing ARC in terms of competition; I don't exactly see the point either, considering that nobody would use my client anyway. If you want a copy of the release once I'm done doing what I wanted to do, let me know through a PM. Thanks, peace.
